Doom & Gloom Aside We Are Still Only 1 Game Behind Playoffs.
5-6 is playoffs right now. We are 4-7
4-4 in last 8 games.
I know it is nuts but it is still possible.

Doom & Gloom Aside We Are Still Only 1 Game Behind Playoffs. 5-6 is playoffs right now. We are 4-7 4-4 in last 8 games. I know it is nuts but it is still possible. Miami just got their 5th win….Chargers lost…they ain’t setting the world on fire. Everybody after that is shit like us. Like I said, all aboard the Ship Of Fools.

We discussed this at length last year with the "NFC East/NFC Least". Two different schools of thought: First group thinks any success is good and making the playoffs even in the parity filled NFL is a stepping stone and a step in the right direction to changing the mindset and expectation to win. I am in this group. The 2nd group will just point to all the teams deficiencies and tell us how we are wasting draft position. Enough is enough. Win anyway you can screw draft position. NYG has two 1st rounders. Lets let the Bears pick be the early one. Miami is a team on the rise. Let us remember they were calling for their HC to be fired last season and early this season. A win VS Miami will be meaningful.

Those 2 last second losses to the Foreskins & dirty birds are coming back to bite us in the butt right now, even the KC game. Instead of 7-4 & tied for 1st with Dallas, as usual, we are fighting with 8 other teams for final WC slot. I can see 5 wins in the final 6 or 5 losses in the final 6. This team is just too inconsistent. Even with the L to TB , with this win, we are once again back on life support.

Ah...who am I kidding; I already scoreboard watched next weeks games to see what we might look like then. FYI...liking the Bears next few games.

A win VS Miami will be meaningful. I was in the former group last season and usually all the time. However, I kind of see it differently this season. I think this team will be in rebuild mode this offseason unless a mirical happens. I'm kind of in the camp where, I personally don't care if the giants lose at this point. Sure, i'll take wins, but for once there's a part of me that is starting to think the future of the team might just be better off if they actually lose meaningless games. If they somehow manage to get to the playoffs because the rest of the division is a disaster and get the shit kicked out of them it doesn't do them or anyone else any good. This team sucks, there's to many glaring holes and hopefully the new GM that replaces gettlemen actually knows how to build a football team, bc we're at least two years out from fixing his mistakes. That's not even factoring in what to do with Jones.

Screw draft position. Winning is usually more important for a team and future success than their draft position. It certainly is this season for the Giants. There will be good players all over the draft, it's the Giants job to pick the right ones. They even get two cracks at it in the first round. The only scenario where I'd concede that a team is better off losing is at the very end of the season if they are in a position to land a generational qb prospect with the top pick. That's not happening this year.
These Giants certainly don't look like a playoff team, but I'll be rooting for them until it's over. We need to boost morale and end the season on a high note. Judge will likely be back. There's a lot of young players on the team, and they need to learn how to win. I'm sick of losing in general. Why anyone would want to continue seeing this team suck just to possibly slide up a few spots in the draft is beyond me. We have the Bears to root against for draft positioning anyway.

I don't think anyone wants them to continue to suck for to "slide up a few spots" it's just that they do in fact suck still. IF and thats a huge if, but if they make the playoffs this season its because Dallas shits the bed somehow and the giants manage to win out. At that point, it may be that the team is turning the corner, but judging by how this team has played up until now... yeah, that's not happening. ALso if the giants managed to get a pity playoff spot last season bc the division was so awful.. are they that much of a better team this year.... let me answer by saying... no. not at all.

Yes, technically the division is still within reach, but I think the third wild card spot is more realistic at this point. I was assuming that was what we were talking about here.

I was assuming that was what we were talking about here. there are five teams ahead of us not including those already considered "in". THis team can't protect the QB, or put up points, the defense is streaky.. I don't see it happpening either the third WC spot or by winning the division AND if it does, they'll need to come close to winning out. but if its something they earn.. i'm all about it. www.nbcsports.com/bayarea/49ers/nfl-playoff-picture-where-49ers-stand-after-week-12-win-vs-vikings

We are at dolphins who are playing better ball as of late. But let's face....we had no offense today. Defense gets us 4 turnovers and all we can muster is a measly 10 points. Fix that offense and fast or we will lose majority of remaining games.

The division is in Dallas hands with a 3 game lead on us with 6 to go. I was speaking Wildcard. We are 1 game back with 6 to play. There we have a chance.

The giants are 4-7 there are 5 times on the outside looking in with a better record than that. but when looking at those 5 times none of them are very good either, so maybe there is a possibility if the giants offense can figure it out.

What a down year overall Healthiest 2 teams make the big dance Bizarrely last year with all the upheaval that covid caused, it seemed to result in some pretty good football across the league. I don't know if it meant everyone had no choice but to concentrate on football or for some other reason. But seems to be a signfiicant drop off in execution throughout the league this year.

while we are not mathematically eliminated from the playoffs, there is almost no chance that we squeak our way in. That being said, we play WFT, Dallas and Philthy again, I want to win at least those 3, and would prefer to beat the bears to make that pick a bit higher as well...Pick position does not insure good picks, I'll take wins thank you...

Last year we were a half game from winning the division. Context means everything. This team is awful.
That said, make fun of Eagles fans this week.

But do you see the other piece of shit teams that are ahead of us ? Have you watched any of these banana boats playing football lately ? HaHa it's a shit show. They.re just as crap as we are. Carolina, Atlanta, WFT, ? Philly ? Seattle ? N.O. ? Teams that are better than us S.F., Minn., keep getting knocked off by lesser teams. What a mess.

This thread is nuttier than a bag full of nuts. We just beat the pussies across the street in puke green. Ugly ass win, I’ve seen prettier car accidents. However, we still control our destiny. Dallas losing has giving us a pulse, it’s time we take them off life support. Next in line, time to filet the Dolphins.

Teams ahead of us for final WC slot SF- 6-5 Vikes 5-6 Atl- 5-6 NO- 5-6 Phil- 5-7 Car- 5-7 Wash- 4-6 Chi- 4-7
At the moment, We hold tie breakers vs NO, Car & Phil , but Atl & Wash hold tie breaker against us. IMO, we have to go 5-1 the rest of the way as a 9-8 record will be needed for the final WC spot. 5 teams on that list except for SF, only has a 1 game lead on us for the final slot. If after an 0-3 start, we can rally to make the playoffs with a 9-8 record, then no one can say we didn't earn that final WC slot as we would have gone 9-5 the rest of the way. None of the teams left on our schedule are world beaters, we can afford 1 more loss the rest of the way & I would rather it be vs the Chargers & we sweep Philly, split with Dallas/Skins & beat Mia/Chi.

You know that saying “anything can happen in the playoffs?”
That applies to everyone but us.
We Win the turnover battle by 4, still needed an opposing WR to have a ball go through his hands (literally) on the 1yd line to win by 6.
This team doesn’t have the talent to win a playoff game, even Disney writers would say that script is too unbelievable to invest in.
