I just want to avoid the Falcons.

I fear Green Bay more, to be honest.

Way way more, the Falcons are a bit meh and that is a nice place to play. Going to a frozen Lambeau in January is tough.

Redskins losing last night is big enough for the G-men.

Yea we have 1 & a half feet in the playoffs now.

HigginsJ

Janoris Jenkins and Jonathan Casilas as both listed as doubtful for tonight. The Eagles have Lane Johnson back which is obviously a huge help to them. That being said with our secondary against that mediocre bunch of recievers we should be able to shut them down enough for another low scoring win.

Tonight is a massive banana skin for me, I'll be staying up for it too

Same here! My logic is if we win then I can enjoy watching it tomorrow, if we lose then I didn't miss anything!

Knex*

Yeah, have tomorrow off so I'll be watching!

That was a tough one to take.

I watched the 1st half this morning, I thought Eli was terrible. The amount of throws that are ending up at guys feet is unbelievable and that pick 6 was terrible. I have to seriously doubt we can do anything in the playoffs unless Eli gets out of this funk.

OBJ was great, alot will be made of the post game "growling" but that is just him being him.

KrustyUCC

Apart from poor Eli the refs were terrible

That roughing the passer on Vernon was unreal

That's intentional grounding just as much

krustydoyle

So we're in the playoffs......

KrustyUCC

Least that is 1 more Giants game for the season

wawaman

As it stands don't fancy going to seattle

wawaman

Our d is amazing, shame to say an offence containing obj is letting it down

KrustyUCC

Terrible viewing in second half

Beefy78

If we lose twice to the Redskins having dominated both games I'm going to cry a little inside. FFS. The conservative play calling second half never ends well no matter how many times we see it.

Edit - DRC!!!! I love our Defense!

KrustyUCC

So it's away to Green Bay or Detroit

wawaman

Lambeau it is. Our D will give us a chance, I fear when push comes to shove Eli and co will fall short

Not looking forward to playing Rodgers on this form. Even with our D, he'll put up points.

Wish our offense wasn't so pitiful, as if we could even guarantee 21 points you'd have to fancy our chances with the way our defense plays.

Beefy78

The D needs to play just like it did against Dallas last month for us to have a chance. The pass-rush we have now even without JPP is unrecognisable from where it was when we played the Packers earlier in the season but I can still see Rodgers scrambling around getting free like he does so well. Spags needs to shut that down just like he did to Prescott.

I fancy Tye Montgomery to be dangerous too - they used the full back a lot against them Lions but I'd imagine they'll prefer Montgomery's shiftiness rather than attempting to bulldoze Snacks and Hankins which ain't happening.

HigginsJ

I see Green Bay could be missing a few from their secondary which will be a big boost. Green Bays receivers vs our secondary is going to be a titanic battle. I can see us holding Green Bay to 17 to 20 points but I struggle to see how our offense can get anywhere close to scoring that much.

Story about nothing regardless. OBJ is a torough pro (bit of a prima donna but torough pro).

Speaking of WR's, I know he has no shot at ORTY but Sterling Sheppard has been everything we were told he would be and more. You here about players who are " can't miss" but so often they do. All the Sheppard draft reports hit the mark 100%. If the O-Line can improve next year he & OBJ are going to create hell.

Saw a story on Football365's media watch today about one of the Spurs players "downing pints" at a darts event 72 hours before their game against Chelsea. Loads of sensational language with the last line or two stating that he was not drunk & was on a day off & that his manager had no issue with it. So many similarities to this I feel. Also I'm sure Miami is much nicer than New York at this time of year.

Elis words on Miami: "When I saw those pics I was a disappointed. We pride ourselves on preparation and they didn't pack accordingly

Great response by Eli
