His stats were good enough to make it to the playoffs....or were everyone else's bad enough to get the Bengals to the playoff 🤔 ...either way, they made it. Which is better than what most fans expected...some fans never learn, and expect their team to make it to the playoffs EVERY year regardless.

Suppose you had a bunch of yahoos at your local bar that continuously professed their love for Andy Dalton and insisted that HE deserved the ROY award over Cam Newton.

You hear it and you hear it and you hear it so much that you begin to believe the hype.

But then somebody with reason and logic shows your their stats and points out that Dalton was good, but he was no Cam Newton.

I consider this as "food for the football soul".

Assuming you're not a Giants fan and actually HAVE a soul...

GEEZ! TG, when will it end. You keep trying to convence yourself & the board members that the pats actually have a chance. Why not put on your sparkley red high heels (the ones with the pats & red sox insignias on them) and click your heels 3 times. Maybe they will take you back to SB XXXIX when the pats squeeked by the hapless Eagles. Enough already!!!!! You win with your SB threads, but the pats are still going to get their butts whipped (although Brady probably likes to get his butt whipped). I will not read or comment on any more of your rederick.

BTW no comment on not having a soul!

BOY oh BOY those stogies that you are sending me after the SB are really going to be enjoyed!!!!!

The Giants moved the ball in the first half against a MUCH better defense in SF. Granted they tightened up in the second but we know how the game ended.

A much worse Ravens offense moved the ball against the Pats D. In fact a much worse QB with much worse recievers made what should have been a game winning throw. Call it a great play by the DB, call it a crap play by the WR - Flacco and the Ravens put together a game winning drive on that final drive. At very least it should have been a game tying drive.

So to summarize, the Giants have played and beaten better defenses (SF), shut down better offenses (GB). GB and SF both have great TE's. Don't forget Tony Gonzalez. Davis got his TD's not doubt and I am sure NE will score. But a lesser offense nearly sent you guys packing on your home turf. Not to mention there is no way the Giants have a shred of fear or a sniff of intimidation since they have beaten the Pats both in a SB (but that was years ago!!!) and this year on their home field (without Bradshaw, Nicks, and starting center Baas - all of whom are back BTW).

The variable that scares me is not on the field at all. Its Belicheck. Darth Hoodie. The VCR. Beating him thrice is going to be a tough feat.

All things considered I think NE will score 28-31pts. It will be up to the Giants offense to score 34 or more if they want to win. I think they can do it.

Didn't find the complete comparison.

Yards allowed: Giants better than Pats

Points allowed: Pats better than Giants

If stats were all that counted the Packers, Saints,or 49ers would still be playing.

The only stat that counts is the final score. Basic rule of sports (not counting the stupid f*cking game of golf); the team that scores more points, wins.
