The Mad Deckhand Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Let's face it - Packers were hands-down the best team in football this year...... Enter the 2012 dark horse. Giant's will preserver - like they always do. Their defense has stepped up, stepped up in a big way. They are on a roll, and will roll their way right into the Super bowl. They nearly beat Green Bay in December. All it would have taken was a little "D" - Giants have one now. Watch their terrifying romp over the Falcons - aside from the early safety, the Giants, particularly the defense, looked unstoppable. When New York lost to GB, they were mired in a four game losing streak. They could not have looked worse early in the year when they were trying to "find their way." Injuries and off-season departures looked like they were going to derail the season. Just like in 07. Don't think that New York has forgotten about that. Giants 27 GB 22 The Deckhand hath spoken. Feel free to bump this thread - I don't mind looking bad - I'm married! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagles Dare Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 No way a team who lost twice to a club as bad as the Redskins makes it to the big dance. I'll have mine on the rocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVDCGTO Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Even if the Giants beat Green Bay I doubt they cruise to the big game. IMO the team to beat in the NFC is the Saints, not the Packers. While they played GB tough 5 weeks ago they were absolutely destroyed by the Saints the week before that, a Saints team that is positively clicking on all cylinders right now.

Giants will not play the Saints they are playing the 9'ers. I have no clue how the giants do it - when the heats on they are in a different dimension - look what they did to the Pats.

I'm not saying they will win - that's impossible. Just that I believe that they will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm wrong - I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mad Deckhand Posted January 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Different? What happened against the Vikings lol. We were already out of the playoffs - we stunk it up in Philly, too. What happened when the Packers lost to the 6-8 Kansas City Chiefs 19-14? Upsets happen.

MVDCGTO Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 What happened when the Packers lost to the 6-8 Kansas City Chiefs 19-14? Upsets happen. Difference is the Packers have lost the last 6 out of 8 to the Chiefs and the Chiefs match up very well. While I do believe the Giants have what it takes to beat the Packers they definitely do not have what it takes to beat the Saints.

John M Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 THe pack should be worried no matter who they play. That defesne isnt very good........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NS Mike D Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 THe pack should be worried no matter who they play. That defesne isnt very good........ comes down to the Giants defensive front four when you handle the Giants front line, you can exploit the secondary, but when that front line is shutting down the run and getting pressure on the QB they win. On offense, did you see how Jacobs and Bradshaw both had similar off right tackle runs, dragging defensive backs into the red zone to set up scores. The team is significantly better now that both backs are healthy and playing well. Packers are the better team, but I don't see the Giants rolling over if the Giants can manage a pass rush without having to blitz a lot. Pierre-Paul is having a monster year and is quietly ending opposing offensive series with solid tackles. "... let it go - lets move forward."
