Treehugger Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Yea me too, didn't Reese give Tynes a 6 year deal after the SB? Lol Tynes is mediocre at best but he is a SB winner and did get the game Winner in Antarctica for the NFC championship but that's all he's got. ...on his THIRD try. He could have easily been the reason we lost to GB that year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allstarjim Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Fantastic win. The Bears really did us a solid. Eagles get the Cardinals next week possibly without Kolb (which I don't know if it's a good thing or bad thing). You have to believe they will beat the Cards in their sleep. We really need to beat the 49ers. If so, we can absolutely bury the Eagles the following week and probably break their will. I'm not satisfied with a 2 game lead over the Cowboys and a 3 game lead over the Eagles, because both of their schedules are much softer than ours. The Eagles have the Pats after us but then they get the Seahawks and Dolphins. They play the Redskins week 17. Almost assuredly, they will beat Cards, 'Hawks, 'Phins, and 'Skins. Minimum they will finish 7-9. So they aren't out of it, we just have to keep winning. The big games for them are us, Pats, Dallas, and the Jets the rest of the way. If they split those games, they go 9-7. It makes the game against Philthy so, so critical to win, even with a 3 game advantage on them right now. As for the Cowboys, they have a home game against Buffalo this weekend, but then have three straight cupcake games before playing us, against the 'Skins, Miami, and Cards. They could easily win 4 in a row prior to playing us, which will push them to 8-4. Prior to us playing Dallas, we have a Murders' Row of opponents. I think we can beat the 49ers, but it won't be easy. But after that, the huge game against Philly, then @New Orleans and Green Bay at home. Why does our 2 game lead in the division seem so shaky? Week 17 against Dallas (in our house) could decide the division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Week 17 against Dallas (in our house) could decide the division. We also have the Jets at some point which won't be particularly easy. If we go 4-3 in the remaining NFC games with 3 of the 4 wins coming in our remaining division games - we've got he division. While I'd like to beat Green Bay and San Francisco for home field advantage implications come playoff time, I'm more interested in making the playoffs in the first place. Agreed though on the Bears...Eagles all but have to win out AND beat both us and Dallas in order to get in on the Wild Card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightFire Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 ...on his THIRD try. He could have easily been the reason we lost to GB that year. Well to be fair to Tynes the distance he was kicking had never been completed by any kicker at Lambeau Field ever after December, I think that was the month, before his game winner. It must have been like trying to kick a rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, if the Giants can win their remaining NFC East games, they've got to be close to a lock for the division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I'm not sweating 49ers, Packers, Saints, Jets.....sure, would love to see them win those games. But if they take care of stuff inside the division, that's 10-6 with all the tiebreakers they really need. Easier said than done.....two weeks from now, Philly is going to be treating that game as their playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zelmo Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Well to be fair to Tynes the distance he was kicking had never been completed by any kicker at Lambeau Field ever after December, I think that was the month, before his game winner. It must have been like trying to kick a rock. The one he made to win it was farther than the ones he missed. He missed from 43 yards out early in the fourth, and he missed from 36 yards with 4 seconds left. (And btw he hit a 37 yarder earlier in the game). Then he nailed the game winner from 47 yards. It was totally ridiculous and I don't think I've ever had less confidence in anything than when I saw him walk out on the field to kick that FG in OT. I'm pretty sure you were trying to say that his actual 47 yard game winner was impressive, but that was Tree's point, that he missed other easy opportunities to win the game. (To put his miss from 36 in perspective, Tynes himself had hit earlier from 37, and the Packers kicker made kicks of 36 and 37....so the weather isn't a valid excuse for missing that kick, at all.) -Z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easier said than done.....two weeks from now, Philly is going to be treating that game as their playoffs. Putting a loss on the Packers may not mean much because they'll probably end up with the better overall record regardless. But, if the Packers lose a division game or two in addition to ours - I suppose the potential is there for them to have to face a division opponent in the playoffs, which would be good for us. Saints - they seem to be the NFC's Patriots to me. Good, high scoring offense with complete lack of defense. I'm confident that if we can beat the Patriots, then we can beat the Saints. 49ers - I'd simply like to win this game so that if we meet in the playoffs, we'd have home field advantage over somebody. Jets - completely not even interested in. If the Giants have to lose a game, this is the one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmenroc Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 What are you doing to me? I hate the Jets as much as the next guy, but looking at it from the playoff perspective, the Jets game isn't that important. Agree mostly on the Saints, but I think the Saints have better, deeper receivers, but worse run defense than the Pats. I can agree with that. Darren Sproles has been kicking ass for me this year fantasy-wise. Here's hoping for a Giants win with a 200 yd, 2 TD day from Sproles! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
