sir andrew Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Hey all. Just thought that the Giants regular season record was significant. They are only the third team in league history to win a championship with 9 wins or worse (68' Packers went 9-4-1 and 82' Skins went 8-1 in the strike shortened season). Anyways, I just always find it interesting how much momentum can carry you in the NFL. All you need to do is get in to the Playoffs! Go Bills.

How many people wanted to just give the Packers the Lombardi Trophy halfway through this season? '06 Steelers, '07 Giants, '10 Packers, '11 Giants...all wild card teams. Almost makes you wonder if earning the bye week is overblown, despite the obvious benefit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SageAgainstTheMachine Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Giants won their division this year. Oh, right...brain fart. Hard to remember that a 9-7 team got a home game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Almost makes you wonder if earning the bye week is overblown, despite the obvious benefit. No it's not, but it pales in comparison to being healthy in the playoffs, which is why the Giants were 9-7 but looked so good in the playoffs. They had a ton of injuries this season, especially on defense, but were able to either get people back or get replacements settled by December.
