I don't know about the Giants hype train, the toughest thing to do in the NFL is beat a division opponent 3 times in the same season. I like Dallas' chance if they meet again.

The Steelers are so poorly coached that I'm worried least about them, bad penalties, inexplicably going for two, shitty play calling, give me them anytime in New England over Kansas City, in spite of their small hands QB and bad clock managing coach they are the team I worry most about.
Giants most likely finish as the 5 seed so they wouldn't meet until the Championship game, should they both advance.

But I agree. It's tough to beat a team 3 times.

I was aware. My point still stands. Atlant/TB/GB aren't exactly scaring Dallas or anyone else in the NFC for that matter.

Just stating it's a long road for the Giants to even get there. I believe in this defense, but the offense needs to get it together. All 3 of them teams named above can put up fucking points, add Dallas to that mix, and I don't know if the Giants can survive should the defense shit the bed for a week.

Oh I gotcha. You were speaking in terms of Giants seeing Dallas again, I thought you were saying Dallas wouldn't make it to the NFC championship.

They'd have to win two road games, then go to Jerryworld for the 3rd showdown. That's a fucking TOUGH thing to do.

Granted, Giants can still miss the playoffs so let's not count our chickens.

Surprise surprise, the Brocketship has crashed and Tom Savage is starting this weekend.

Missed a lot, but thankfully the Cowboys managed to get a win last night, so Skins back in control of their own destiny! Gotta win out though.

I think NY is the second best (possibly best, the experience they have in the playoffs counts for a ton) team in the NFC, but I'd rather play them than Washington again. Washington is due to beat Dallas, and Dallas is due to beat New York, especially in Dallas. Really excited to see where this team goes next month - could easily see Dallas making a SB run, or losing the first game to a team like Green Bay or Atlanta. Should be fun, think Detroit is a tough out this week.

Playoff experience, name a player on offense not named Manning, Cruz or Harris who has played a playoff game. Now go to defensive side and remember no Jpp, these Giants aren't those Giants. Cruz and Manning are the only real remnants of those experienced playoff teams left on the team and healthy to play in the playoffs.

Which is ridiculous when you consider that Josh Norman was fined $10k for firing a pretend bow and arrow.

In reality though, I don't think either should be fined, so I'll live with them getting it right on this latest one. Honestly the NFL should look at Zeke jumping into the pot as a gold mine of PR for Salvation Army. I can't imagine donations don't see a bump after that on national TV. It's already enough of the No Fun League.

I honestly think he would have gotten fined, but the Salvation Army logo was on the kettle so they opted not to deal with the PR hit. I find along with most everybody the "nerfing" of TD celebrations to be absurd.

I never put much thought into them fining him, since the SA drive is tied pretty strongly to the Jones family. And yes, apparently their donations surged a bit after the celebration.
