Cowboys or Giants: Who do you want to win?

[Chief X_Phackter]

Tough question.

I think the easy answer is the Giants, so if we win we'll only be a game behind both of them. However, if the Cowboys and Redskins win, we'll be tied with the Giants and we still play them once, and we'll be two back of Dallas and still have to play them twice.

I really don't know who I want to win. Sweeping Dallas will be very tough, but gaining one game on them through the course of the rest of the season may be easier.

Maybe they'll just beat each other to a pulp and it won't matter.

Any thoughts?

Giants.

Can't let the Cowboys run away with things.

[SmootSmack]

I would say the Giants. Tighten up the division some.

"Damn if they do and damn if they don't!"

I don't care who wins this game. I just hope they beat each other up and cart off a few body bags. I have a feeling the G-Women will be ready for the Girls and come up with an upset.

[BleedBurgundy]

I have no hatred of the Giants. The cowboys are another story however... For them and the eagles my schadenfreude knows no limits... I hope it's a very physical game that leaves both teams reeling the rest of the year, maybe 4 overtimes or something like that? Ha.

Anybody against the PUKES! Tighten up the EAST with a WIN against philly.

[redsk1]

Giants. I'd like the skins to win the East. I really hate the Giants though.

Giants, always could tolerate them more. Plus, let's think big, there are 2 good scenarios to root for the g-men:

1) We'll be closer to 1st in the div., still possible even though the pokes look too strong.
2) The G-men may do their usual late season fade away. Let it begin AFTER this game.

[GTripp0012]

Giants.

[Monkeydad]

Giants. Any Skins fan that wants the Cowboys to win ANY game has some loyalty issues.


The only exception would be if a Dallas win knocked someone out of the playoffs and put us in, but that would be painful to root for them even in that case.

Dallas needs to lose this game, or they'll be very close to locking up the division.

From a playoff perspective, I think it would actually be better for the Cowchips to win.

Dallas is taking this division, there's no other way around it. If the Giants win, it only puts them further ahead in the wild card race, which is Washington's only hope.

I'd have to agree. I don't think creating a log jam in the NFC East will work out in Washington's favor, especially considering that they've already dropped a game to the Giants. At best, I see Washington splitting the series with the Cowboys, so I think it'd work out better if the Giants had their typical late season collapse.

And honestly, my hate for the Giants is greater than my hate for the Cowboys. Not much greater, but slightly.

It works out best if the g-men beat the pokes AND have their late season collapse!

That scenario only help if the Cowboys also fall apart. I doubt very seriously that both the Cowboys and Giants start playing like crap, and Washington miraculously starts clicking on all cylinders. Washington's best hope for the playoffs is finishing with a better record than the Giants.

I see your point, you're being realistic. but in hoping for the best, i.e. that we win the div., we need the g-men to knock them off.
