If the Giants beat the Eagles, and Dallas loses to Detroit, then the G-men will be in position to play for a divisional title in the final week of the season. As far, as backing into the playoffs.... Your scenario wouldn't be considered "backing into the playoffs." Backing into the playoffs is what we did in 1992. We lost to the Raiders during the final week of the season (at RFK, no less), and needed the Vikings to beat the Packers the following day (which, they did, as both teams was playing for a divisional title). The Vikings, at home, whipped the Packers, and we get in virtue of the Packers losing. That's the true term of backing into the playoffs. Losing a game or games and needing another team or more to win for you to get in. If we win out, and others lose, then we won to get in. Yes, we needed help, but, technically, we still did our job along the way. |

Re: Post game
It's not just yards, we're 8th in points per drive. I get that they weren't great yesterday but that was more of an anomoly than anything else. If this offense was half as bad as the defense we'd be lucky to have 4 wins.

Re: Post game
Guys y'all need to calm down on this kirk bullshit. First of all if it wasn't for him we wouldn't even be a playoff contender in the first damn place.
Reed goes down. Kirk balls out still. TW out 4 weeks.. Kirk plays good to great still. No run game at all for most games.... Kirk still shines. Fucking joke of a defense... Still a top 5 offense. Who else we gonna get?? Kirk is not the problem. Last night he didn't play great, but my God he has to be damn near flawless every game to win, shit isn't that easy. He's not Brady or Manning.

Re: Post game
It's amazing when you compare the talent on offense to what's on defense. On offense you have Trent, Reed, DJax, Garcon, Cousins, Scherff, Crowder, and Davis. Those first 3 are elite players, the others extremely effective. And then on defense you have Norman as the one elite player, then Kerrigan obviously is good, maybe Baker? That's a big disparity. It's been said before, but this offseason has to be defense focused along with bringing in a new coordinator who can get more out of what we have

Re: Post game
I have to give some of you credit you do seem to think very positive!! I just don't see anyway this team wins at Chicago or Giants..what am I missing? and to even talk about playoffs reminds me of Jim Mora..playoffs...PLAYOFFS..1/2 the fans think Coach's should be fired,cousins sucks..etc and the other thinks we still deserve the playoffs.. The team I watched last night suck! We can't beat teams that have been eliminated from playoffs for weeks to get ourselves into post season..what am I missing? Cousins is the only bright spot On this team and finally the weight was to much..same for Norman ..they really are the Top 2 players on this team ..in fact I would trade our entire roster except those two for The Browns Roster minus RGIII and we would be a better team. any one else agree??

We can certainly win at the Bears. We have won 7 games so it happens. Lol. I think the Gints will be locked in to a seed the last week so they may rest their starters. If TB loses one and Dallas beats Detroit than we would be in. Greenbay plays Detroit the last week and someone has to lose. If Detroit beats Dallas, than we would have to have them beat GB. We can easily back our way into the playoffs by beating the Bears and a second string Giants squad. That being said Atlanta will probably roast us. However Ill indulge in one more kool aid cocktail if given the opportunity. |

Chicago just lacks talent. The Panthers disrupted our offense by getting a push up the middle, you don't see the Bears having a strength anywhere on defense like that where you say gee that's a problem for our offense. But we have no reason to believe Eli won't carve us up. And their defense has gotten so much better. Their DBs and our WRs, that's a fair fight.

Re: Post game
Putrid performance. We should be ashamed.
F the playoffs, I'm on to 2017. On the bright side, Barry will be gone, and we'll save millions on Kirk's new contract. |

My only issue with Kirk so far is this. When it counts the most, he doesn't seem show up, or at least not as much as he should. Red zone. He's throwing a whopping 44%. Big must win games. Nowhere to be found. Yards are great and all, but if you don't have the scoring or clutch ability to back it up, it's quite useless. The Panthers defense is bad. This is a fucking team Kirk has to shred. It's not all on Kirk either because McVay is mind boggling with the lack of runs. KC isn't going to be able to carry a team by himself like a Brady/Manning can. Not right now anyway.

Re: Post game
Kirk himself has played well enough to win 10-12 games if he had half a defense and a serviceable run game.
