I wouldn't mind seeing the giants for the NFC championship game. I would definitely make that trip. Good luck to you too but not if we meet in the championship.

That is a hell of a stretch....the 5 and 6 seed, the 2 wild card teams playing in the conference championship.

That is a LOT of upsets in the playoffs for that to take place.

But stranger things have happened I suppose.

Thanks G and back at you! The NFC East well be well represented in the playoffs.

Re: Congratulations Skins and Fans
 

Thanks Giantone! Nice effort against the Pats by the way. Thought you had that one.

The NFC East isn't down anymore! Not only are we well represented, but the chances one from the East will make the SB are good.

With the e-girls finishing with a win, it makes our division seem to be the toughest!

Of course, I don't think the g-nomes, or the cow-not-quite-men are worthy of their respective seeds right now, since we've beaten both soundly!

Thats it, 2 more W's and we're there. keep up your end of the bargain giantone and I will definitely be there. I don't like the dirty jerz but my roomate is from NY and a big giants fan. I would have to go, just hope we would be able to live together after Skins kick their ass.

goodluck to the gmen as well.

Re: Congratulations Skins and Fans
 

I could see a Redskins game at Texas stadium in two weeks. But the Giants will not make it to the divisionals. And even if I am wrong about the divisonals, they surely will not win at Lambeau.

After the way the Cowboys tried to play at FedEx you should be very worried.........Skins and the Giants are riding a high while the Cowboys and Packers are not but my main worry right now is Jeff Garcia if he's reall healthy he can hurt us.Gibbs has a good record against the West and the Hawks.

Yes, that's two years in a row that the NFC East has had 3 teams in the playoffs.

Re: Congratulations Skins and Fans
 

How often has there been a division in which no team finished with a losing record?

Re: Congratulations Skins and Fans
 

giants will beat the bucs, and the skins will beat the hawks.
i think both wins will be fairly convincing.

Who's flying down to Dallas with me when this manifests?

Not concerned about that. The Cowboys did not try to play yesterday. The outcome was predictable days before the game. 5 key starters did not even make the trip to DC.

The team made no secret of the fact that the primary goal was to emerge from the regular season without major injury. Not to win at Washington, mind you. The playbook was cut in half and what was seen was very "vanilla" offensive and defensive schemes.

Cowboys did not even show up yesterday. Everyone knew that was what was going to happen, and that is what did happen.

Props to you. You called the outcome, although not the score, correctly. I do think the Skins are the biggest threat given our play recently and our relative health. Don't think the G-Men are as healthy after Sunday's game. Congrats on being a T.V. star, albeit on a Skins message board. That had to be strange.

I have to say, that was great football game the Giants played yesterday. The look on Brady's face late in the game was not the look of confidence we are accustomed to seeing.

Yea keep telling your self that. Romo into the 3rd and you had how many rushing yards? Why even play Romo then? Yes I know that they did not play several starters but how poor they did play would worry me if I was a D fan. Even if what you have said is true what does it say about a team who can go out and not even try.

Re: Congratulations Skins and Fans
 

I understand there were a few personal records at stake yesterday, but to me it just seemed completely ridiculous to leave Romo and Witten in the game that long especially with the weather and the fact that the Skins were in control from the very start.

Was a team completions record really worth risking your franchise QB to injury??

Re: Congratulations Skins and Fans
 

Thanx Giantone and good luck to you guy's as well!

Re: Congratulations Skins and Fans
 

Even though it was minor, Romo looked kinda hurt walking into the locker room during Half Time. That pretty much explains to you that Wade Phillips is a complete idiot who doesn't care too much, but to TRY to beat the Redskins.

If you don't have anything to play for, bench your starters like a lot of teams did. It isn't that serious!

I always have to do a double take on your avatar because you sound like a Skins fan each post or thread you make.

Re: Congratulations Skins and Fans
 

I hope the skins do well for Sean... With that being there driving force it is totally possible!!!

Re: Congratulations Skins and Fans
 

For a team not trying to win, explain to me the challenge right before the half.

And oh by the way lets not talk about a team playing without key starters.

How many injuries do we have again?

Re: Congratulations Skins and Fans
 

First off congrats on your win.. Now come on anybody watching that game could tell Dallas was not giving their all. Not taking anything away from you guys you are a hell of a team and I think the 2nd best team in the NFC even though your record doesn't show it. I can see the Skins playing in Irving for sure. That being said if we play our best and you play your best I highly doubt your going to come out with the win on that one. Enjoy your win and good luck in Seattle.

Re: Congratulations Skins and Fans
 

Something else I wanna throw out there. The Cowboys did play their starters well most of them anyway yesterday for as long as they did not to win the game but to give them play time. Having a first round bye leaves a long sitting time if they were to take them out even at halftime. I mean come on did you not see the play where romo could have ran and picked up a first down with no problem but would have had to have taken a hit and chose to pass instead to a completly covered reciever? They were told to play but to play very safe.

Like I said in the game thread yesterday: they're keeping in the starters and risking major injury just to bolster individual achievement in the ultimate team sport. What a joke. Stupid Cowpokes.

Of course they are going to challange a play they know their going to be able to get reversed. That has nothing to do with playing safe and not caring to much abut the win.

It's called being a football fan,I love the Giants I don't like Coughlin....I wish him no harm and yes he has taken this team to the playoffs 3 years running but only Joe Gibbs could pull the Skins thru the crap they went thru this year.He's not a hall of Famer for no reason!I love Gibbs ,I live in Maryland .............but I bleed blue.:headbange

I think you make a great point about if both teams play their best. The problem I think Dallas is going to have is turning it on after over a month of playing halfheartedly because the games were meaningless. If they are able to flip that switch (and TO is healthy) I think Dallas is a more talented team overall. The Saints showed last year that a driven team can sometimes beat a more talented one.

Re: Congratulations Skins and Fans
 

Uhhhh.....Dallas sucks. End of story. Dont make excuses because thats all Ive gotten all week form the pithy Dallas fans in my area. If BiG D had won, all the shit you would be talking would be unbelievable. Just give it up and admit, the Skins stepped on your balls and crushed your playoff hope and dreams. The next team Dallas plays will probably beat the shit out of the them they way they are playing now.

Not good to be a Dallas fan.....

Re: Congratulations Skins and Fans
 

I'm just glad we go to dallas instead of Green Bay if we win. ROMO vs. FAVRE....hmmmmmm tough choice, I'll take the HOF guy.

Also Collins vs. Romo another interesting comparison. Veteran Collins with little in game
experience vs. young Romo with two years experience but botched snap in '07.

High ankle sprains usually take 4-5 weeks to recover from. James Thrash had one in the Philly game in November and just returned to the lineup for the Minnesota game a couple weeks back.

Hey sandtrapjack, I'm just curious here, how many players did your team put on IR this year? Oh, and also did your best player on defense get murdered this year too? Just asking....

Okay, a few things, about your team:

1)We almost beat you at home at full strength, we didn't have ST, and you guys threw 4 deep bomb scores. All of your points. Dont expect it now with TO nursing an injury, and Laron Landry at short safety.

2) 27-6 is enough said. You played with much of your starters until your second set in the 3rd quarter. We kicked your excuse for a team's ass.

3) We are sprinting into the play-offs and improving every game. You guys are limping in, with 2 losses, and an almost loss to Detroit.

If I were you, I'd pray the Seahawks get it done. If not, you shouldn't feel so confident; when Americas REAL team flies into Dallas.
