Yeah, I actually went back and re-read that to make sure that I wasn't missing something. The one thing that this scientist misses is douchiness. The Giants have it in spades.
Numbers won't do it. Scheme, coaching, momentum and intangibles will. It would be a 1-3 point game if played.
I think the Jets are one of the few teams that match up really well the Giants. We can handle their pass rush with our front 4 which a lot of teams can't do. The one player that really scares me is Mario Manningham, he would rip Drew Coleman a new asshole.
I'd actually want Cro on Mannnigham and put Coleman on the outside. If Coleman can't play slot, and plays better outside, is it possible to have Cro play slot? He has much better recovery speed and feels routes exponentially better.
All this is very clever, but where's the metric that takes into account the fact that the Giants' numbers are posted against the likes of Carolina, Chicago, Dallas and Seattle while the Jets have made theirs against New England, Baltimore, Miami and Green Bay? Unless the two have posted their numbers against the same opposition it's irrelevant.
I don't understand how everyone (reporters/writers) is ranking the Giants just ahead or right at the same position as the Jets in power rankings. I know it doesn't mean shit, but I'm curious where this is coming from. They've beat nobody's and from what I can tell, they're OKAY. Can someone explain that one to me?
reporters/espn wants there to be some sort of competitiveness between the AFC and NFC, which there clearly isn't. So the have to take the top 1 or2 NFC teams and overhype them. Right now the giants fit that criteria.
Yes and no. Yes, the first article was from October 28th. The most recent one was from yesterday, and part 7 should be out either today or tomorrow. He's been writing 1 part every other day or so. Maybe look at the dates before saying it's old news?
The Giants look like they're playing better football, but it's smoke and mirrors. The one really good team the Giants played embarrassed them. If they smash the Eagles in two weeks, I'd believe in them a little more.
Well, who have the Jets really beaten besides the Patriots? The Jets have really only played 3 good teams, Ravens, Patriots, Packers and the Jets won 1 of 3. Every other team is currently 0.500 and worse. Sure, Ravens were 0-0 at the time, Dolphins were 2-0, Patriots 1-0, so you can put it like that if you want. The Giants also played 3 above 0.500 teams, and the Giants won 1 of 3. Of course what helps is that the Giants got destroyed in those two games that they lost, whereas the Jets hardly lost. For me what makes the Jets better than the Giants is the fact that the Jets play in the better conference and have won more close games (makes a big difference). The Jets play in the tough AFC whereas the Giants play in the joke NFC. The only games that the Jets have lost were games where their offense was downright putrid.
