Already over the media's reaction to the game. On ESPN's blitz they treated the narrative as this game being the NYG's chance to "establish their dominance over the division" Excuse me? Let's assume they had won the game, did that suddenly make them "dominant over the division" Sorry, but all four teams in the division are in a relatively similar boat although for different reasons. It felt like they were in pain going over the game highlights and they treated Odell's great catch like it was the most important thing that happened during the game.

They are treating the game as if the lowly 'Skins pulled off some kind of miraculous upset win over the division mainstay. Now look, I know as a franchise we have been very mediocre (if that even) for awhile, but in 2015 to act like we aren't even up to par as a team vs our own equally mediocre division is pretty insulting.

Whatever though, I can't wait for most "experts" to pick the Cowboys to win next week so we can go through another post-game of silent exacerbated looks and dumbfounded takes.

Look, I know whoever wins the NFC likely does it with no better than an 8-8 record but who cares, .500 and sub .500 teams have hosted and WON playoff games in the past.

It's hard to justify using the word dominance, but a Giants win would have meant a 2-game lead for the division, which is fairly commanding at this point in the season. It also would have meant the Giants earned the season sweep of the Skins, so to catch them this is what we would have needed:

- Giants go 2-3, we go 5-0
- or Giants go 1-4, we go 4-1
- or Giants go 0-5, we go 3-2

So it was an absolute must win for us. And we did. I like that.

The losses and wins for this team are pretty interesting. I know we keep hearing the home/away record, but the broadcast team yesterday highlighted the difference in the level of competition between away and home. Below are our wins and losses viewed with their current win loss record:
Games we lost
4-7
5-6
6-5
6-5
10-1
11-0

Games we won
4-7
4-7
5-6
4-7
5-6

Games remaining:
3-8
5-6
5-6
5-6
3-8

3 of those are division games which always have more than just the current records, but all of the games are winnable, and if we did win them all we could conceivably be 10-6. I think 8-8 is still more likely, but looking just by level of competition we have every reason to think we could win them all.
Eagles are not 5-6 they are 4-7

Is the road issue a real issue? Or is it the product of playing better teams?

Our 5 road opponents:
W-L Record: 38-17, .690%
Defensive Yards Allowed Per Game: 349

Our 6 home opponents:
W-L Record: 26-40, .393%
Defensive Yards Allowed Per Game: 382

I think the "road issue" is a phantom problem. We're going to be playing some different teams on the road than the ones we've faced so far. The quality of the opponent has a lot more to do with it than the locale. Look at the schedule and our opponents, not at the number of road games remaining.

Just saw this. Agree 100%, per my previous post.

Gruden has one road win in his tenure...sample is big enough to say this is a reasonable concern.

Yeah 1 road win is really bad but remember when Seattle never won on the road either so things can change
