Anyway, i think this is the game both teams wanted. If we go 3-0 against you guys this year, you should hand that nfc west crown back to us.
Well, the only reason the Rams finished 8-8 is since they played an Eagles team last week that barely played any starters. Eagles play at full strength (Even without TO) they beat the Rams and the Rams finish 7-9.
Next week intriguing matchups in all the playoff games.

what's your point? the rams had to play 4 games against the afc east this season. I'd say it was all balanced out in the end.

rams shouldn't even be in the playoffs! they are a fraud team!
then again i guess most nfc teams are frauds. i still think thats bullshit that the rams and saints have an 8-8 record, and the saints beat the rams head to head, but the rams get in. seems to me like the first tiebreaker should be head to head, THEN conference record.

That is the first tiebreaker between TWO teams. Probleme for the saints was, minnesota lost, which caused a THREE way tie.

i understand the "rule", but it's still bullshit. it should go like this:
3 teams. did they play each other? yes. here are the results:
Vikings beat Saints - there is one team in
Saints beat Rams - there is the second team
case closed!

if the rams had played the vikings, that would have been the tiebreak, as i understand it.

...But what if the Rams beat the Vikings?
Anyhow, as put by The Score: If the Steelers B team could put the hurt down on the Bills...

but they didn't beat the vikings. i can understand if all 3 teams alternated wins, then go to conference record.

Rams, Vikings, Seahawks, Saints,...eh. Who really fucking cares? They're all shit.

yeah but how is that fair? the vikings are 1-0, the saints 1-1. if you're gonna look at head to head wins, each team should have the same amount of trys.

Yeah, you can't compare three teams head to head unless they all played one another, that's just common sense.

:lol I know. All i heard was how much "heart and character" carolina has. And that they were the only team that posed a threat to philly. Please. Carolina scared no one. I can't wait to see what douchebag salisbury has to say on sportscenter. Berman and tom jackson had nothing to say, not surprisingly.

the Panthers were as good a shot as anyone in the shitty NFC to be the Eagles "only threat".

Right. Forgotten about atlanta? Vick sucks as a passing QB, but him along with duckett and dunn could run every single play against the iggles. we raped their 1st string run defense, what kind of damage do you think atlanta could do?
It takes alot more effort to shut down the run than it does the pass. Didnt seem like the eagles were willing to step up and do it in a meaningless game. We have allowed under 4 yards per carry in the games that mattered since Trotter was inserted in the lineup.

Thats since the Steelers game where we were supposedly exposed. NO NFC team has scored more than 21 on us, we gave dallas 21 points in the monday night blowout and the rams got 20 for obvious reasons. Other than that nobody has even reached the 20's. All the remaning NFC teams can be taken advantage of in the passing game, they cannot score on us thanks to our #1 ranked defense in points allowed (before the bengals game where no starters played). There is no way we dont make it to the superbowl if everyone remains healthy. With Mcnabb Westbrook and TO we are nearly unstoppable. With just Mcnabb and Westbrook we are still one of the best offenses in the NFC.

Those are good numbers, but i'm still skeptical. Let's just see what happens in the playoffs.

Do you guys like what you've seen from JP losman? Martz said he was one of the better QBs in the draft, iirc. Martz also had commented before the draft that roethlisberger was the best QB available. He's a good QB evaluator, if nothing else.

Losman looked great in preseason.
This is great, Giants are not dead last in the division since they beat the cowgirls twice! :lol
What a glorious day. We are undefeated in 2005 like Tiki said! The streak continues in July!
Woooooooo.

It didn't even look like the play was originally called for Tiki; Eli audibled at the line. I'm glad that Tiki was able to get the record, he's such a class act, he sounds like the nicest guy in the world.
Eli is showing signs that he will be great. If we are able to get a solid free agent WR (C Johnson or Burress), and avoid all the killer injuries, we will definately be better that .500.
Sactown said:
Just imagine how many yards Tiki would have gotten if the Giants were competitive for all 16 games.
Congrats Eli on that first win. I still thought it was a mistake to start him when they started him, but it might pay off big time next season. Giants have a few great players, but they really need to rebuild that defense and get some deep threat WRs to compete for a Superbowl.

What an exciting finish to a "meaningless game."
Eli Manning leads the Giants in an excellent two minute drive to win his 1st game as a pro. Tiki Barber caps a career year by breaking the Giant's single season rushing record with the game winning TD! Couldn't have asked for a better finish.
NY Giants - 1-0 in 2005.

Ahhh im so excited, i don't think i'll be able to sleep tonight. No other sport can match the nfl playoffs!
It was a hell of a season for, mostly, the wrong reasons for us (Dallas). We lose our starting QB in training camp because he's a fucking putz, Glenn is out for the season as is Woodson, and our hot-shot rookie RB is injured in the second week and out for 8 weeks. I don't know if Dallas will be playoff ready in a year because they have a hell of a lot of positions to fill on offense and defense, but Julius Jones is enough of a reason to think that we have a better shot next season at having a winning record.

Hey, looks like Archaix jumps out of third to tie Deuce for first with 1400 pts. in the yahoo pick em. How do they break that tie?

Oh, and a note to herm edwards. You said if you don't beat the rams, you don't deserve the playoffs. Well you didn't beat us, so why don't you hand that playoff berth to buffalo, they'd get more use out of it than you anyway. Thanks.
