dave_jones Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 The amount of Giants fans on my newsfeed who thinks the Giants road to the Super Bowl started tonight is blowing my mind. That fan base is so fucking delusional and spoiled. I dont even hate the team as much as I hate the fans. I only hate Tuck and Eli. And Rolle. As a Giants fan, no one I know who actually has football knowledge thinks this way. The Giants looked like shit last night, but were outshit by Freeman. Nicks and Cruz dropped TDs. Nicks dropped too many balls. Eli should have had 1 or 2 INT in that game. And our starting RB was on the couch last week and couldn't avoid contact to save his life last night. Special teams on both teams repeatedly tried to give the game away. Ugly game all around Team is too decimated to save the season. Just a fact. O-line is in shambles, our secondary is horrendous, etc etc.. As a fan base, I don't think the majority is delusional. You're probably just seeing band wagoners who picked up the giants after the '08 Superbowl. Definitely spoiled tho, we have had competitive teams for the past 20 or so years. Just crazy to see them on the Jets level of dysfunctional right now though. But yea... made absolutely no sense that Ponder did not start that game. I thought coaches were supposed to put in the players that give your team the best chance to win. Not try out some half-baked experiment on prime time TV.

KennyFuckingPowers Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I dont think hes actually on the block I think tis more of the media stirring the pot and trying to make something out of nothing. The vikings would not only be nothing, but would have no on to sell tickets to because no one else on that team can put butts in the seats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paranoidantroyd Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 They've already sold the majority of their tickets for this season, so that's a moot point. They're thinking he only has 2 more good seasons and looking toward the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're thinking he only has 2 more good seasons and looking toward the future. The best comparison for AP would be Barry. Too bad he walked away too early (age 30). I'd say two more good years is the floor. Walter Payton was still pretty good until he hit 32. Emmitt Smith wasn't as talented as AP and he started to nosedive around 31. I'd bet he's still a top 5 running back until 32 (4 more years) and maybe a useful but unspectacular player for another 2 years after that. That's still a lot of tread on the tires if I am right. You'd have to get a lot if you traded him away (multiple first round picks or a whole lot of picks in the top 4 rounds). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, there are teams that just need a couple of pieces (like AP) and there are teams that need a ton of pieces (like Minnesota). They need to rebuild and I don't think they have the time to rebuild around AP while he's still in his prime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would guess it will be the second round again as Peyton usually leads his teams to a first round bye. Being a Manning fan and seeing all of his playoff collapses with the Colts, I am hoping the Broncos don't start to rest him late in the year if they happen to lock things up early. i always felt when the Colts would do that it was taking their foot off of the pedal and it made him rusty. Honestly, if they had to play in the first round also it might be the best thing for them as it keeps his momentum going. Or it all won't matter and Peyton will have an early playoff departure again. That said, I am grateful for Peyton winning one Super Bowl and making football a big deal in Indiana. If only the Colts could get a new owner...

catalinacaper Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 The NFC champ this year will come down to seeding. If Seattle locks down a #1 seed, it will be tough to bet against them getting to the Super Bowl, but I would predict they lose the Super Bowl on a neutral field. In the AFC who knows.. The Broncos have to play the Chiefs twice still.. so who knows how that ends up but looking at the other three divisions, who is really that impressive? The Bengals and Colts are inconsistent and the Patriots have obvious issues on offense and now defense with the injuries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lemongoat Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Stafford only QB'ed around 15 of Johnsons first 50 games. 10 of those came when Stafford posted a 61 rating as a rookie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebiglebowski Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 And the first 3 seasons number doesn't reflect that Calvin got better in season 4 and went full on Megatron in seasons 5 and 6. Dez is incredible, but it's yet to be seen if he will take the next step and be the hands down, #1 receiver in the NFL. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjb2k1 Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Stafford is so inconsistent. I'd take Romo without hesitation. and then cry into your pillow when he muffs a FG hold or throws for 500 yards and one very horrible costly interception that renders the 500 yards useless? heh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
