How confident are you that the Giants will lose the next two games?

[MightyGiants]

Do you feel like that first pick is in the bag or do you see the Giants, once again, snatching defeat out of the jaws of victory?

I'm nervous about the next two.

Indy is a riddle and Philly (assuming they have nothing to play for) would love to stick it to us by tanking next week.

They will lose to the colts as the Colts are a much better team. It's a 75% confidence level they lose to the Eagles. And that's only because of the Eagles have nothing to play for they will do everything to lose that game. However, if the Eagles don't believe in Sanders and Ward being good QBs, the Eagles may win for sure 😆

Saquon will be going for his record, and I imagine they (the Eagles) will try to let him get it.

Totally agree.  I think there would be some satisfaction for the team to have him break the record against the Giants.

I don't think for a minute that anyone in the Eagles organization is remotely thinking about who the Giants will draft with the 1st pick.

Colts still can make the playoffs and have a decent defense. Expect the Giants to lose both games badly.

That's a great point, which I failed to consider.  What better way to stick it to the Giants than achieving this record for Barkley, Against the Giants.

I'm very worried about winning the Eagles game.

Could we win this weekend? I guess so, but I highly doubt it. Colts are motivated.

Any NFL team that is trying to win is going to beat us right now. I'm worried the Eagles. They're a shady franchise that may lose on purpose and take advantage of Mara's integrity for the game.

There is no chance we will win either of the final two games.

The question to ponder IMO is how confident are we that we'll score a TD in either of the next two games.

Well, that's probably too easy... how about in both games?

Well, it's gonna be a muggy, rain-soaked day, so that likely means a lot of Jonathan Taylor, ground game stuff for the Colts. Giants can't move the ball, do anything properly on offense, Tracy is dinged too. Think it will be ugly, especially the second half. So, I expect another loss, record home ineptitude.

But next week, the Eagles will try to get Barkley the record, if close, then total tank city to stick it to the Giants, if they're locked in. They won't try, don't care and will roll over, maybe from the get-go to screw the Jints.

[MightyGiants]

I have zero confidence.  After over a decade of bad, it just doesn't seem possible that this team will sit atop the draft and be able to just pick the player they want and not have to give up a king's ransom to move up to draft a quarterback.   The king's ransom thing just seems too much on brand for NYG

[uconnjack8]

I don't get this idea that the Eagles will purposely lose to hurt the Giants pick status.  Would bet a large some of money if you asked any FO person or coach they would laugh at the idea. 

If they are locked in to a playoff spot and don't play all their starters, those guys will still play hard.  Backups may play harder because it's a chance to shine.

I think a decade of futility is causing some delusions around here.

I will be gobsmacked if we win ether game.

Both Lock and De Vito have a good game in their locker. If our shambolic back-up (and back-up to back-ups) OL has a day where they play above their level we could score a potentially competitive 20+ which seems crazy to even contemplate given our recent efforts. That is a risk.

Thankfully our Dex, Okereke and likely McFaddenless D could not stop a toddler running and with our secondary largely on IR/not practicing we might actually be worse against the pass. We would probably give up 30+ to Syracuse. I just do not see a path for them to out perform their talent and form. I expect both Indy and Philly to get 200+ yards total rushing as our inexperienced and not yet NFL hardened younger guys wear down H2.

Put it this way. If the Eagles "purposely" tank the Giants' game, especially after what happened a few years ago against Washington, which brought extra scrutiny on them and resulted in firing Peterson, they're not going to upset any chance they have to make a deep playoff run by f@cking up against the Giants. It would be the dumbest thing they could possibly think of, and more so with Washington recently beating them, they need every win going forward to have a chance at a top-two seeding in the playoffs. So, let's get real. They'll put up 100 on the Giants before they'll roll over and play dead against them.

I agree with everyone regarding the Colts beating on the Giants tomorrow. Game's over before it has been played.

That's how confident I am. Not breaking a sweat here in Arizona!

Peace!

I'm cautiously optimistic. Wins at this point are meaningless and will just screw up our draft position.

[DaveBrown74]

If the Eagles are playing for absolutely nothing, which is possible, I don't see how people can have responses like "there is no chance" the Giants win that game.

We have been in this type of a position before in these late season games against the Eagles in recent years, and we have won them despite being a vastly inferior team. The Eagles are also a franchise that have shown themselves to be potentially less than scrupulous in their dealings around the draft. We also know that they love sticking it to the Giants.

If the game means nothing to the Eagles, why would they play any player of any consequence? As bad as we are, if we are trying to win and the Eagles are trotting out third stringers and practice squad types and also know that they're breaking Giants' fans hearts if they lose, do you really think there is "no chance" the Giants win that game?
