Playoff Picture: Giants Game Aftermath

I would not even think playoffs until we beat Baltimore, Philly and yes, San Francisco, hell even Cincy could be a struggle.

Yeah any team is a threat when we can't put points up.

To be honest, I'm not thinking any of these games are going to be big wins for us. We seem to have a knack for playing down to bad teams, and running with (or attempting to for a 1st half). They have to show me something next week to re-kindle the fire that I had at the start of the season. I'm happy, but in an un-happy way....that makes not sense.

Two games back I predicted we finish out 2-4 on the season w/ 1-5 actually probable though I was loath to predict it. Today I think 1-5 was smart, though I'm already wrong in a sense because I thought we'd lose to Seattle and everyone else save Cinci. The idea of a win against Baltimore is Alice in Wonderland absurdity - primetime game against not only a good defense but the meanest defense in football. I will not be surprised if we are totally shut out, not only on points but possibly on first downs. The offensive collapse we're seeing is still in process as Zorn's presser revealed IMO. He is not calling anyone out on their horrendous execution - this travesty will continue. Beyond Baltimore I believe a loss against Philly is guaranteed because Philly is a much better team now and SanFran is a loss because we'll have nothing to play for by then and we're hardly showing up now when it still matters...

Cinci is still questionable but i wouldn't bet a dime on our offense... when was the last 0-0 game in league history? Maybe we'll make history in two weeks.Well, that would be a coaching mistake. You can't just call people out in the media based on physical errors, the players will never take you seriously again.

But yeah, Baltimore is one of the three elite teams in the NFL, so I don't see us even being in it unless we improve on both sides of the ball this week.

I want to be wrong but I predict we go 0-4 for the remainder of season due to porous offense, playing calling lack of halftime adjustments. The defense will initially play well but not for 48 minutes.

I think you guys are forgetting about the Panthers and Bucs who are both 9-3. While one will obviously win the South, that will leave the other team fighting it out with Atlanta, Dallas, us, and I suppose the Bears for the the final two playoff spots. Meaning that every game is a must win.

After looking at this team for 12 games I don't think we're a playoff team. Honestly how can anyone with half a football IQ think otherwise? We're probably the 7th or 8th best team in the conference. Playoff teams don't lose at home to the Rams. End of discussion.

^ I agree. Why talk playoffs when we obviously can't beat the best team that's going to be in them. I just don't see what the point is.

Smart thinking buddy. I bet the Giants fans are glad their team didn't think that way last year.

I see your point and I'm sorry to upset you. I would agree with you if this team had shown me one inkling of a sign in the past 5 weeks that they are capable of being the Giants of last year. However, all I have seen in this time is a team going backwards instead of forwards. I realize we have played some excellent teams, but these are the teams that we would have to beat in the playoffs or SB. It just seems like this team has been deflating at the first sign of trouble since the Rams loss. Once again, I apologize, but for real, are we really the Giants of last year?

What's wrong with talking about playoffs? We have a decent chance of getting in and it doesn't mean we can win the SB. Obviously we take a game at a time, but even players last year and 05 thought about the playoffs. They used it to motivate them every game and make the push.

This thread isn't really aimed at discussing whether or not we should be discussing the playoffs.
