Am I crazy?

Is it crazy that I still think this team we love can pull out 9 or 10 wins this year? I mean, I know our defense has played horrible, but...

Our offense has played awesome. Eli has established himself and Plax has been doing great. I think our defense can pull it together enough to be at least average, seeing as how our biggest problem is tackling, which is correctable. If the defense steps up, and I believe they will, we can be a formidable team.

Thoughts?

Seriously,no your not Moonie we all want the same thing.Now this is where I'll lose some or all of you the difference is ...in ....my case ....I've seen this before and it's a train wreck and there is nothing we can do but hope it goes by quickly.I really see this as history repeating itself from the problems inside the Mara family to the coaching..... to the players........I swear it's the 70's all over.
I love the Giants and I love football ...unfortunately this year there is no connection between the two.There is a saying in sports "I'd rather be lucky than good any day".......this it seems we are'nt either.....or at least that is my opinion.

Only way we win 9-10 with this defense is if the offense puts up 40-50 points a game.

What have you seen in the first 2 games that makes you think that..........what we have all seen is a team who if their offense isn't clicking on all 4 cylinders is in BIG TROUBLE and even if they do their defense has shown no indication of being able to stop a team at a key junction of the game.......I don't understand how anybody can see them winning 9 or 10 games based on what happened in the first two......

I am all for being a fan of the team but winning 9 or 10 games is seeing with your heart and not your head........

I've got a gut feeling is all. :dunno:

Just not sure why, I was absolutely disgusted after both of the last two weeks. For some reason I know the defense will step it up this week. If they don't, serve me up some crow, but I've got a gut feeling that has not let me down in the past.

This is comming from the BIGGEST eternal optomist on here.
This is a 4-12 team,especially if we lose this weekend.
If we win on Sunday,we woll probably linger around till Dec teasing us,if we lose,expect the death spiral to start early for us.
This defense is beyond dysfunctional,between having dogshit in our back 7 and no players.
But we will be an entertaining 4-12 though,as we will be the only team in history with a top 5 offense in yards and scoring and still manage a top 5 pick

No, Moonie, you're not crazy. Well, a little, but, like KC said, it has nothing to do with this.

I still believe we can pull off a winning season. I can't cry my wittle eyes out that the end has come because we lost 2 fucking games and have ONLY 14 more to play. :rolleyes:

Does our defense look like a fucking joke out there? Yup. Are we banged and nicked up? Yup. Could we work out the kinks and turn it around so we start looking like a pro team out there? Goddamn right.

Its not that we lost 2 games

It's the way we lost them. 80 points is not something to be optimistic about, and thats all there is to it

It's not like this is something new for a Manning..... a few years ago Peyton had to put 50+ points up because his defense sucked & he knew that was the only way they would win. Yeah, our D is horrifying, but our O is pretty damn good & we know they can put the points up, so Eli will have to put 50 points on the board so our D doesn't blow every game for us.

I'm sticking with m y 9-7 prediction.

I'm crazy too Moonie.... at least you're in good company! ;)

This team can surely make it to the Super Bowl. Tackling is over rated. I think if this was a two hand touch league the (THL). Than you guys would most certainly be a "Formidable" opponent as you observantly phrased it.

I like your chances this year.
