    I didn't, I said he finished out of the Top 15 since '07 twice. You said he finished way out both times, this comment seemed reasonable for the 35th, not at all for the 17th. Have trouble keeping up?

    Yeah they were hot shit with the 32nd ranked rushing offense and the 27th ranked defense (and 25th in points/game)

    Memory of a goldfish? When I said he'd finished outside the top 15 twice since '07 you said both times were wayyyyyyyy below 15th. I was genuinely curious if you considered 17th to be wayyyyy below Top 15.

    Also I notice you don't bring up his other SB winning season in 2011, when Eli was 7th in passer rating, 4th in yards, 5th in yards/attempt, and tied for 6th in TD's.

    Don't get me wrong, I think it's crazy the Giants won it that year. Their D was absolute shit in the regular season, though. Everyone likes to claim they had the blueprint to beat the Pats, but that fearsome pass rush only really came together to do good work come playoff time/and against the...

    I think his 6 TD's with only 1 pick helped out that postseason. Eli was also Top 15 in Yards and TD's in '07 regular season. Not sure what you mean by can't even see Eli on the first page of passer rating rankings either. He's only been outside the Top 15 in passer rating since that '07...

    What Uber said. When you start making up a debate about whether or not Eli has thrown picks and lost big games, you're only arguing against yourself. No one sat here and said he doesn't throw picks, or lose big games. We joke on here all the time how he has games/seasons that make him the...

    Maybe I should expand my definition some to not just be Week 17 games when I say "win or go home". 2006 Week 16 against Philly - 23-7 loss, Romo 14/29 for 142 yards, 1 TD 2 Int (A win in that game would have won them the division, instead thankfully the NFC was shit and they got a wild card...

    It's been Romo with picks plenty of times in those win or go home games as well as the rest of the team laying an egg. Personally I trust the guy with 2 rings over the guy with 2 career playoff victories.

    I don't think people are acting like it's a slim chance to make it if they win out, I think they believe it's a slim chance they win out. Big difference. I think Giants are likely to beat the Skins again, they've owned us of late, and have picked off Cousins 8 times in 3 career games he's...

    Going 6-1 and winning all the tiebreakers (likely need to sweep Skins, not lose to Buffalo...possibly not even to Miami or the Jets) is miles ahead of 7-0? I think even going 6-1 is about as unlikely as it gets, but on the edge of possibility.

    Given how badly the Giants have owned the Redskins (and more specifically, Kirk Cousins) the last few times, I expect them to beat us (hoping otherwise). I also expect them to beat the Eagles as well, which means Dallas would have to sweep the Skins to even match the Giants 4-2 divisional...

    I'd like to see another playoff series between Tampa and the Rags, assuming that doesn't mean we are eliminated to make that happen. One good thing about last night's game is Trotz went power v. power putting Ovechkin/Backstrom/Oshie out against Seguin/Benn/Sharp for a lot of the game and our...

    Ovechkin was using his mind control powers from the bench to force Chimera to make as horrific a turnover as you can imagine to blow at least a point tonight. Honestly I would have LOVED to have seen 3 on 3 OT with these two teams as well.

    And Dallas gets victimized again as the team to give up the goal that breaks the record for most goals by Russian born player. Ovechkin ties it up 2-2 in the 3rd. Of course, when Federov broke the record 7 years ago, we won that game, so more work to do.

    Gotcha. As far as the AFC West, only reason I give those teams a shot is they've both only played 2 division games (both 1-1), while the Broncos are at 2-1 in the division. Raiders would need to win next meeting to prevent head to head tiebreaker, but I think it's doable with Manning out/or...

    Not sure why it's Redskins versus Eagles, are you kind of assuming the Giants WILL be there (involved in the hunt for division lead) all the way through and are basically only expecting one of Skins/Eagles to challenge? If so I kind of buy it. I could see it being a total shitshow with all 3...

    Nah, really don't think they're sitting there watching every player be completely in their set position on those hurry up plays. I'm sure if you slowed down all of those plays you could find something to flag more often than not. In this case the tight end was setting up behind the line of...

    The Ravens call is funny, tons of friends crying about it constantly.

Seriously seems like something that you could probably flag on every play a...
