"Forward" Road to the Wildcard

Mardigras9 · 11-07-2012, 08:31 AM

Getting to a wild-card game is not appealing when you figure we will probably pull an Atlanta habit and be one and done with our recent road game history.

It's not going to be easy and we have little room for more errors. However, if the Giants 2 recent Super Bowl victories have taught us anything, it's that getting hot at the right time can be much more important than looking fabulous all season long.

I for one believe we would have a real shot considering the rest of the schedule. I figure there is room to drop 1-2 games but I'm looking at the 49'ers and they are coming off a Mon night game against the Bears. I don't see them playing at a high level. When we play the Falcons again they may start taking the pedal off the gas. Those are the only two games I would be concerned about. The rest of the teams are beatable even with our "Pewter Curtain" defense. I think we can do this.

Sadly, you think it's over, but it's not. It's only gonna get worse over the next 4. Anyway, we've won 13 games in a row before and all we need now is 11 so it is possible.

We won 10 in a row last year counting the playoff win against the Lions.

You said a mouthful of truth there, brother...

We just gotta win. Winning them all is a tall task but not impossible. Not much room for error now. One more loss may not doom us but 2 pretty much will have us on the couch for the playoffs.
