statistically this year the Giants ends of Strahan and Umenyiora were better this season. Its bulletin board material. They will settle it on the field Sunday.

1/5/2006 6:54:45 PM

with each one of them being superstars..i think this sorta thing jus affects them as much..even if they dont say it or show it.. i think it jus comes down now to proving a point..remember we r talkin abt sack leaders of this season vs. sack leaders over the past few yrs..

1/5/2006 6:59:18 PM

you mean 3rd place over the last few years

i cant wait to see peppers and rucker "goin all out to kill manning"

while tiki flies through the holes they leave behind, gashing the defense all afternoon

1/5/2006 7:03:22 PM

^Mark my words. Tiki will not run for over 85 yards.

1/5/2006 7:04:37 PM

ok dude baonest says they are marked

whatever that means

1/5/2006 7:07:01 PM

well i think tiki barber is gonna rush for 100 (no big runs max 10-12 yds tackled by the secondary) but manning is gonna get picked twice..steve smith 100+ yards 2 td's, deshawn 79 banged up yards, peppers+rucker 3 sacks..panthers by a td over the giants..

look out
-for panthers to fake the blitz cause they are gonna be watching out for tiki..
- bad reads by manning..
-for the only 2 big plays from the giants..by plaxico
- for a lot of foster banging up..but doing so to set up the play action and big plays by smith(on second downs)
--2 fumbles by delhomme as usual blind side sacks

more later

Your run defense isn't as good as you think it is.

I love how Panthers fans are all on this "LOL ELI IS SO HORRIBLE WE HAVE A HUGE ADVANTAGE" thing

When like the only thing Delhomme is better than Manning at is completion percentage.

1/5/2006 7:26:33 PM

I'm so torn about this game. I really don't like the Giants and I can't say I'm a fan of the Panthers.

Actually, so long as Barber runs for over 100 yards, I'll be a happy camper.

1/5/2006 7:30:23 PM

if Steve Smith has a game on par with his season average then the Panthers will lose the game

he has to have another breakout performance for the offense to keep up

1/5/2006 7:35:03 PM

Delhomme is better in the red zone than Eli.

Eli has like 15 picks in the red zone.

Wow. Can you say dumbass? Julius Jones ran for 194 yards against Carolina and you think Tiki, a top 5 NFL back, will not get 85?

I believe Delhomme has a bit more playoffs experience than Eli also

And you're right about the panthers run defense. their run D is only fourth best in the league afterall.

^^Just wait and see.

1/5/2006 8:57:33 PM

I heard Peppers' response...he basically said "well he's not lining up in front of me so it doesnt really matter...cause I know he wouldnt say that if he was lining up in front of me"

hey Stein, you know one thing thats worse than the Panthers' run defense? The Giants' secondary

Steve Smith will have more yards than Tiki

1/6/2006 9:41:14 AM

Does anyone think Eli is overrated?

1/6/2006 10:07:27 AM

he is somewhat overrated, or perhaps, unproven

Sure he came in as a rookie and led his team to the playoffs

But they also had an extra home game and a great RB and some good receivers

1/6/2006 10:12:20 AM

he's not a rookie

1/6/2006 11:36:01 AM

oh yeah

but i guess his first full season as a starter he led them to the playoffs

he's still a youngster

who cares as long as manning gets severely maimed

i think thats worth more than a superbowl, dont you agree?

1/6/2006 2:42:33 PM

well dipshit, being a giants fan i cant really say that i do

but id be glad to see eli get hit by peppers a couple times in a victory


the schwam says giants win 24-20

1/6/2006 7:06:35 PM

Panthers 35, Giants 6

1/6/2006 7:08:38 PM

27-20 panfas

1/6/2006 7:19:34 PM

i have no idea who's going to win

i lean towards the panthers due to our injury list

but who can really say

itll be a great game im sure

1/6/2006 7:20:25 PM

^you talking about the linebackers? The linebackers weren't gonna cover Steve Smith anyway, and that's all the Panthers do.

Giants are going to the super bowl my man

1/6/2006 7:43:53 PM

I think the Panthers will win by a couple scores, maybe 27-17 or 24-13. Their run defense is one of the best in the league. The day Julius Jones had should be considered an anomaly. Tiki might reach 100 yards, but he won't get many more than that and he probably won't be the deciding factor in this game. IMO it will come down to which QB makes the least number of mistakes.

The Panthers have only played 2 bad games all year, in loses to TB and Chicago. Their other 3 losses were mostly bad luck, 2 on last second FGs and the other on the running into the kicker call against Dallas in which they had the game won(which also cost them the division).
Carolina is a better team than their record would indicate.

1/6/2006 8:20:14 PM

Dude, the Panthers had a ridiculously easy schedule, and they looked like shit on several occasions. No way they are better than their record indicates.

1/6/2006 8:29:11 PM

im shocked everyone isnt shitting all over the giants

1/6/2006 9:31:36 PM

I'm too busy shitting on a terrible towel

1/6/2006 9:49:38 PM

theres only one thing to conclude from this thread...

...panthers fans are fucking johnny come lately idiots

1/6/2006 11:09:32 PM

GO GIANTS

1/8/2006 4:04:28 PM

nobody else made much in the way of predictions...so nobody can really do any calling out

i would say his call was a good one

especially with the way our season went

and the way we were blocking for tiki

the panthers just did a great job of staying disciplined

and a great scheme by fox


GO GIANTS

Ahahahaha

God, the Giants played like shit.

Congratulations, if you guys play that way from here on out, you have a very good shot of making the Super Bowl.

My favorite statistic of the whole game was when they put up Manning's stat line, and it's 4/8 in the second half with 3 INTs

Which means that (assuming they consider INTs as incompletions still) that he threw one pass at that point that wasn't caught by somebody.

1/8/2006 4:06:41 PM

ELI WAS SHOOK

I'll be honest and say I'm still not completely convinced, but this was a good win for you guys. You played a great game on all sides of the ball.
