I'm just saying the way you, @Broadway Joe (who liked your post), & RMIB have talked over the past month its almost been like you guys have been ready to give up on your team which is why the most optimistic person on here this year (old man Nabbs) liked my post lol. I'm all for non-homersitc posting, really. The opposite of NoFlyZone pretty much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRealMcCoy Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 It still makes me laugh the Vikings won 13 games and were 27th in DVOA & 28th for weighed DVOA which accounts for more recent play. Giants rank 21st in regular & 18th in weighed. Like Giants were ten spots better if we are going off weighted (more recent play). That upset really shouldn't have been that hard for anyone to predict. Also, its not like the Vikings struggled moving the ball down the field on them even with Jefferson being mainly taken away & being used as a decoy.

TheRealMcCoy Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 I hope we don't get too pass happy cause the Giants run defense is terrible despite having Lawrence & Williams in the middle. They are dead last at 32nd in rush DVOA. They were tied with the Lions for 2nd to last giving up 5.2 yards per attempt. We should be seeing at least 20 carries with our backs.... Boston Scott wya?

We ran for 250 and 4 TDs the first game. I’d hope Nick and Co. would have a running gameplan in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the, rather be pessimistic and when it doesn't go great, less disappointmented. Rather then full tilt optimistic and devastated after said loss. Let's be real, it's been the 50 year long approach until the 2017 surprise. Is what it is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EaglesPeteC Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Just do my routine. Step 1: Boisterous confidence until the moment of kickoff Step 2: sheer panic and anxiety every second of the game Step 3: crippling depression or elation depending on result Step 4: booze Step 5: repeat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think you're right that the Giants aren't on the same level of the Eagles. The only 2 times the Giants have scored 30+ was in the runaway blowout against the Colts a few weeks ago who had already basically quit on the season and this past week against the Vikings who have been a bad defense with lots of issues all year. Right and I even posted in NFL Gen that I think it's crazy how ppl are factoring in the Eagles 3 most recent performances consisting of Minshew and a 70ish% Jalen Hurts in a vanilla gameplan. It's asinine. All of this sleep from ppl could be a huge boon for us actually. I was more upset with their performances against the Texans, Commanders, Colts and Bears. Slop fests filled with concerning/careless play against bad teams. It was becoming trendy there for a bit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nabbs4u Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 (edited) If Hurts , Lane and CGJ are a fraction let alone 90% of thier former selves, I'm not concerned in the slightest!!! Godforbid, Maddox!!! Problem is, No body knows!! Hence the concern, hence the hesitation in being confident. If fully healthy there is not a single team in the NFL I personally am worried about. Least of all the Giants. We aren't healthy, that's not the case. So.......is what it is! Edited January 18, 2023 by Nabbs4u 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that’s fair. It’s definitely a spectrum between negativity and positivity, with objectivity at dead center. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was reminded how good we are when healthy as I watched the NFL YouTube highlights of each game these past few days. Unfortunately, there’s reason to be concerned over the health/rust factor, and we just won’t know until a few drives into this game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Eagles have a long way to go to change that mentality. One Super Bowl doesn't erase decades of disappointment. It is not swinging into Negadelphian mode, that is the norm. When the Eagles start catching up with the winning franchises, so will we. An all-time winning record and an MVP would be a nice start.
