When The Washington Post calls, I say 'yes'

I look forward to this team making a Cowboys-like fall from grace by midseason, followed by calls for McNabbs head, Westbrook being great but injury prone, not enough wide receivers, blah blah blah.

I look forward to that happening after every Eagles loss :)

I believe he Giants could lose a starting Defensive lineman, a starting running back and maybe even lose Eli and still make the playoffs

losing a d-lineman last year in Osi, yes, you made the playoffs. congrats. however, you had Burress for 10 out of 16 (18 counting the post-season) regular season games… guess how many of those games you won… 9. 9 games you won due to Plax being there. guess how many games you won after Plax shot hisself. 4. you all won 4 out of your final 8 games because Plax wasn’t there to save Eli’s punk ass. Plaxico Burress IS the reason why Eli “lame-duck, pencil-neck” Manning was ever considered to be a “good” quarterback. Plax was Eli’s security blanket. When nothing else worked, Eli just hucked it high into the air, Plax got underneath it, and would proceed to out-jump entire teams to come down with it. Don’t get me wrong, Plax was a great receiver for you guys. But he coulda been great/even better on a lot of other NFL teams as well. Without Plax, you have no offense. Without Plax, you lose to the Eagles in the Divisional Round of the Playoffs.

you’re actually saying that if you lost your starting QB or RB you would make the playoffs?
to be honest, i kinda see where you’re coming from with the QB thing.. Eli really isnt that good. he relied on Plax to get him to this point in his career and, without him, he ain’t shit. so i guess DAVID CARR could come in and replace him if needed and you guys could still make the playoffs.

if Jacobs goes down tho, you guys are screwed. plain and simple. your offense would falter without a solid run game and, assuming bradshaw would step in to carry the load after a Jacobs injury, you would literally have to rely on your d to score for you. bradshaw is only good because Jacobs ruins opposing defenses by bashing their teeth in repeatedly. without Jacobs, opposing defenses would not wear down easily and bradshaw would not have the luck he has after Jacobs does his thing.

yea so if we lose mcnabb or westy we might not play well. however, McCoy is looking to be a young version of Westbrook aka Westbrook 2.0 who could fill in his spot very well cause he’s got a tight grasp on our playbook already. he might not be as productive as a rookie but he would fill in nicely. if we lose mcnabb, then yes, we’re probably fucked for a couple games or so until/if he gets back.. but honestly, how many teams would NOT be completely screwed if they lost their starting QB . . .

for winning the offseason?

they practically have an offseason dynasty going.

i recall maybe one so-called expert picking us to win the superbowl this year but most other “experts” are picking either the steelers to repeat or the pats to regain their winning form. aside from that, SI gave the g-men the nod over the eagles as well.
