4-2 the rest of the way?

i thought we were going to be 5-11 to 6-10 and the defense was going to fall apart. turns out the defense has kept us in every game this year as they've done 3 out of the last 4 years.

Of course you're right, but after seeing what we're capable of during that 4 game tear, adjustments were made to our expectations, and justifiably so.

So yes, overall big picture, 6-4 doesn't seem bad. But we can't win at home, we've lost 3 out of 5 overall, and the offense is in the tank. So it's not a happy 6-4 at all right now.

I'll say it here first that we blow Sea out of the water this week. Our D holds them in check Portis runs for over 150 yards (unless his knee is an issue and Betts see's more time) and the passing game goes. I'll also say that one of our new Wr's scores. Heck lets have fun and the D scores one for us as they are due.

How can you say that with a straight face??

When do we EVER blow anyone out of the water? It hasn't happened since last season's Detroit game. Remember, a lot of us were calling for blowout three straight weeks vs St. Louis, Cle, and Det. No luck there. We have 6 offensive TDs in our last 5 games. Something MAJOR would have to change for a blowout to happen. Maybe a defensive TD or two as you say.

Don't know I just have that feeling that its a blow out against Sea. I think our Oline comes up big in this game because they have alot of pride and they will reverse this trend. Its a great game for that with Sea's D ranked 25th or worse in the 3 major categories. So Mat is back our D is not the problem right now and they will hold Sea to under 14 points.

On paper that sounds nice, but Detroit, St. Louis, and Cleveland are all lousy defensive teams, and we didn't exactly light them up either. Well, we had a lot of yards, but didn't turn them into points.

I totally appreciate your optimism, but I'm not going to believe we're capable of a blowout until I see one.

It amazes me that people actually think we're going to blow anyone out when we lost to the Rams and barely beat Det.

[RMSkins]

SEA L: We just cannot beat them at home.
NYG L: I think it will be very close, but we lose.
BAL L: Our offense cannot match up with their D.
CIN W: Win by the skin our teeth.
PHI W: I think we'll handle Philly.
SF W: Another close win.

Right now I have absolutely no faith in Zorn or this offense right now for us to go 4-2 down the stretch.

We'll make it.

11/23 SEA - Win. Zorn knows Seattle. West Coast trip or not, this will be a solid win. Plus Zorn can find Timmy K. in the press box, wave & smile as we put an ass-whippin on Seattle.
11/30 NYG - Win. IMO Zorn will have modified his playcaling due to the OL situation and an inspired Skins team will beat the Giants in a close game.
12/7 BAL - ???. While Baltimore's D is very good, their O isn't setting the world on fire either, this game could go either way. We may suffer a let-down after a big win against the Gints
12/14 CIN - Win. Cincy is bad and the weather will likely dicate a slugfest on the ground, which we should win fairly easily.
12/21 PHI - Win. The Iggles may be out of the playoff race by now and may flat out quit. IMO McNabb will continue to struggle and be the difference in giving us a close win.
12/28 SF - Loss. We should have a playoff spot locked up by now and be resting starters. If not, I still don't like this game. SF may have nothing to play for, but Singletary will not let them quit and will have them playing for pride and spots on next years team. It should be chalked as a win, but I don't like this game at all.

When I look at the Giants schedule I think, "Tough stretch of games, but they are better than all of these teams." Would I love them to finish 15-1? Of course, but would it shock me if they lose one or two down the stretch? No. The Skins game is one I could see them dropping and possibly Minnesota. The Giants are also A LOT better than Cleveland, but the Browns were better on that Monday Night.

If Eli throws us 3 picks like he did in Cleveland, that would be nice! I do think the gints may lose focus a bit as they look ahead to the playoffs. Also, we've looked bad on all the national night games we played, so it's easy to overlook us (maybe with reason, right now!). But if your D and run game continue to roll, ugh.

[Schneed10]

I think we were neither as good as it seemed after we beat Philly and Dallas, nor are we as bad as we seem after losing to Pitt and Dallas at home.

I think we right the ship and go 4-2. But we still might miss the playoffs with that record.

[Paintrain]

I can see us going 4-2 down the stretch without any hesitation. 3 of those teams (Cincy, SF, Seattle) have nothing to play for at this point and Philly is phading phast. The Baltimore game could easily be 9-6 and I don't look forward to the Giants matchup. Campbell is going to take a beating that day if we don't shore up the OL.
