It's going to take a miracle for this team to win its next two games, but not entirely impossible, I'm hoping for the best but expecting the worst

im with you bro...I think Rex will light the fire under the Jets butts. I really support my Giants man and I have homered myself out the past 3 years with this cinderella bullcrap, but I just dont see Coughlin being able to match the fire and intensity Rex will bring to his players. If they win i will enjoy a crow pie by myself. I hope they do, but I dont see it.

That's exactly what I'm thinking but knowing the gmen, these type of games are the only times it seems they give a damn....Knowing how they let us down they'll win this game and lose to the cowboys

Yep guess Rex is at least lighting a fire under Sanchez. Just saw that he was at training facility till after 2 am. He then got back there at 6 am to work out.
Sounds like he is committed to beating the giants

I really hated how 2009 ended up. I almost wanted to stop watching football by week 16. Thanksgiving against Denver? Stopped at halftime.

Personally, I find it incredibly sad that these players are so ineffective for the most part :(

Coughlin will most likely be gone after this year, in the end he is responsible, along with the players.

any given Sunday baby !! Besides, wasn't it the Jets that coined "Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory"? They can blow games as well as anyone.

Not really that similar. Yeah we were a game behind the Cowboys but this year we play them in week 17. In 09 We didnt even control our own destiny. Why did you have to remind me of that Panthers game? lol

It makes no difference what the Cowboys do if we lose vs. the Jets.

It does. If Dallas wins, the Giants are eliminated. If Dallas loses, the Giants survive another week and get a chance to eliminate the Cowboys at the Meadowlands.
Yeah but if the Eagles win vs. Washington (which they will), the Giants would be eliminated as well regardless. If we lose vs the Jets, season is over.

But if we are eliminated, the Cowboys will destroy us. We can't play with heart while in the race let alone eliminated.
