Giants @ Buccaneers Discussion Thread

Good timing as well. Come December, they should be heading down from their peak.

It honestly could come as early as Sunday. If beat them, they drop to 6-6. Their remaining 5 games are Houston, New England, Arizona, Vegas, Jacksonville. Not a murderers row but its not a cake walk either. Realistically if this is the playoff team lil BJ thinks it is, they'd need fo go 4-2 over their last 6. They could but it won't be easy.

JAX/HOU automatic wins if they show up(I know we always talk about this and agree there is no automatic win, but if gameplanned well... they win these games).

New England is in a similar heat streak, the winner of that one is realistically in great shape. Vegas is on a downswing and in turmoil. This season might as well be thrown away unless they go on a rapid run. Arizona is tough.

Their losses are against quality opponents other than the Seahawks. Losing to the Titans twice really fucking sucks for them.

But it honestly just proves the point of there are a shit ton of REALLY talented football teams in this league. They all depend on that "professional stamina" that propels them in times when they really don't feel it. Every game matters, even with the extra game. I thought we would see less games mattering because of the added game... turns out we might be seeing a week 17-18 like never before. Those last playoff spots should be wildly entertaining.


The Titans remaining schedule could be tricky too.. Pats/Jags/Steelers/9ers/Dolphins/Texans. Steeles/Pats/9ers are really decent football teams, maybe Pittsburgh will be healthy by then too. Texans have shown they compete. The Dolphins are realistically one of the worst football teams I've ever seen.

It's shameful where you guys decide to talk about things.

524 yards will make us the #1 offense.

Yards, yards, yards!

[Backside]

Gronk good to go barring a setback.

SMB looks like he will be activated from the IR.

We have two roster spots open right now, it seems the assumption is SMB and Miller will take them when activated today.

Gronk was never put on IR so he's been on the 53 man roster the entire season.

I would prefer points to yards.

I kinda wanna see a Gronk, Fells run package with options.

At the moment we own that too!

You obviously still don't understand how the NFL works as evidenced by your "automatic wins" opening. Again, the 1-8 Texans beat the 8-2 Titans in Nashville yesterday by 2 scores. There's no such thing as an automatic win. Especially when you're talking about division rivalries. They know those team better than any others in the league because they all play each other every year, twice a year.


I also love how the Texans went from an "automatic win" for the Colts but for the Titans in week 18 "they've shown they can compete". Again, automatic wins don't happen in the NFL.

Did you miss where I said we agree on this? And the bolded part.

If Gronk is back/active, then I'm not sure BA would use another 'PS elevation' for Fells just to be the 4th TE.

So if Fells and Gronk are active on the gameday 46, it means we're either dressing 4 TE's or either Howard or Brate would be a healthy scratch.

[IchabodCrane84]

SMB and Triner activated from IR.

[King Bootz]

SMB and Triner activated from IR.

Additionally Perriman has been elevated for this game, Scotty Miller not ready to come off I.R. yet. If he's not activated by tomorrow his season is over.

[Buc2]

Yards, yards, yards!

I would prefer points to yards.

Yes. Of course. It's an inside joke.

[Swashbuckler]

Gronk good to go barring a setback.

SMB looks like he will be activated from the IR.

Don't use him if we don't need to. Tell him to stand on the sideline and "Just do this" with flexing motions. There's being ready to play and then there's being ready to play without bumps and bruises that are just gonna put you out of action the second they're aggravated and you aren't fully healed

[Dread]

This is the second/final 'PS elevation' for Perriman, so he'll need to be added to the 53 if we want him to be play in a game after tonight.

Interesting week coming up on the 53 man roster

Didnt age well

Bad news brah. You haven't aged well either

[Moozician]

You gonna open a gameday thread Bootz?

[Jack Sparrow]

Time to have Big Blue sing the blues on their way back to NY/NJ in time for Thanksgiving.

B-U-C...C-A-N...E-E-R-S

GO BUCS!

Interesting that you are able to say that

[King Bootz]

You gonna open a gameday thread Bootz?

Yes. Gameday Inactives just got released.

[13F11B]

I know I have not aged well. Then again I prefer it to the alternative.

[King Bootz]

That's gonna be something to watch out for. Jones can make plays on the ground.

[King Bootz]

Whitehead on Engram is a SEVERE mismatch

[MJW]

Whitehead on Engram is a SEVERE mismatch

Did Engram even play? I mean, I know he did...but did he?

I wouldn't have known Kenny Golladay did until his almost-a-catch late in the game.

That Giants offense is a mess, and it's not just Daniel Jones, or the OL, or any one thing. Considering the talent at the skill positions (Barkley, Golladay, Toney, Slayton, Engram) and Jason Garrett's pedigree, it's astounding how dysfunctional they look.
