Media Narrative. The Giants had to beat the Cards or season over.

[DragonSoul]

I'm hearing this ad nauseam all over.

First, it is harder to make it to the playoffs if you start 0-2, as they like to show that stat every time at this time. But teams tend to skirt that trend quite a bit.

But the major one is this... If the Giants lost to the cards their season is over because their next 4 games would likely make them 0-6 when all is said & done.

So with that logic, isn't their season still over? I mean they did beat the cards, but if they lose the next 4 games then they are 1-5. But magically with this the win now what? No one that I heard makes the argument as to why it changes if most see them STILL losing 4 games in a row...

Finally, any given Sunday is the line that holds true. Bad teams can beat good teams and good teams can beat bad teams, matchups matter, luck, and so on.

I think SF would be a tough win, but I think the Seahawks, Miami & Bills can be beaten. They are not given for any side, that is, if our oline can at least play average (it all hinges on that).

Maybe we just need to pack our bags now. Love the ridiculous logic people care to share.

I think it is very realistic now to get to 2-2 with a home win over Seattle.

If this Defense doesn't get their act together soon, the season will be over.

I'm not panicking about anything with the defense. It is so early. I won't make judgements until after week 4.

I like to give them about 4-5 games. As long as it's not the same mistakes over and over again.
