Giants Clinch!

The Giants didn't exactly back into the playoffs, but sort of sidestepped in due to what looked like either ref incompetence or malfeasance Thursday night in Philly.  This season, the Giants have proven talented enough to overcome almost all of their unforced errors, but if those officials the other night had whistled to clear PI on the 4th down throw to Sheppard, the Giants would already have already made it. This, of course takes all the pressure off the Washington game, but the Giants can't rest starters because - until they stop making soooo many mistakes - they need the reps!  But as much as they can frustrate us, they are easy to like, and we all know now that they're in the tourney, anything can happen.  GO GIANTS!

Happy holidays, everyone, and here's a go Giants on behalf of my dad, who won over $1,000 betting on them the last time they were in the Super Bowl.

Also, as an Alabama alumnus, hope you all are enjoying Landon Collins. :)

Merry Christmas to everyone who contributes here, and even to Reese, who will need another $200m to fix the offense. I also hope he see that he will need a young mobile QB to succeed Eli in a few years.

OT, but Melo's inconsistency makes him a roster burden and probably untradeable.

It certainly shrinks his market a bit. Meanwhile, KOQ's trade value has shot up.

And Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah as it applies, gents!

You too, Phil, especially you! Many thanks for organizing such an interesting site with people who no how to make points without being disagreeable.

I think if a deal gets made, Mateo will be the top prospect moved, then maybe a Chad Green or a Brian Mitchell, then a prospect or two out of the top 10 and no one we got at the deadline. Once Mateo was suspended this past season, I suspected he'd be in any big deal.

I don't see how trading Mateo now wouldn't be selling low.

If they move him to the OF come spring, his sell point gets lower.

I think he has to hit. That he has some value indicates that others think his value will recover. That's where I am at.

He does have to hit, but having poor plate disc doesn't help him do that. And thus he doesn't get to use his 80 speed as regularly as he should.
