RB Saquon Barkley (ankle) is OUT. Right move.

LT Andrew Thomas (hamstring), LG Ben Bredeson (concussion) and OLB Azeez Ojulari also OUT.

That's four starters down for Thursday night vs. 49ers. #giants

Man I know this team is locked in but Kyles gotta make sure they are really focused on this game cause it seems like such a show up and win game.

I hope they rotate the other RBs in a lot more. Mini bye after this game and we need to keep CMC as fresh as possible. May need extra play time in week 5.

Get a big early lead and rest CMC, Deebo, Bosa, Warner and Kittle after halftime.

False. They just need to win and no major injuries. This isn't gymnastics, style points don't matter.

I don't like games where EVERYTHING points to us just blowing out the team. It makes it a disappointment if we don't.

Not style points (17, 20,24, whatever), looking for dominance against a "common opponent". Just about everyone thinks the 49ers will win the game.

Yeah I was upset we only beat the Rams by 7. I seriously underestimated how good Stafford is.

So technically, points against a common opponent are like the 5th tier in the tiebreaker situation, so I guess in that regard, it matters (albeit very little).

Ok, so now Saquon has officially been ruled out. Is anyone as un-shocked as I am?

For final seedings, I doubt it ever goes past the 3rd tier. This year, assuming no injuries, getting into the playoffs is most likely a given (NFC does not have > 6 good teams). For the 49ers, it should be all about Dallas and Eagles. How can they be better than those two, every week. The more proof we get to see, the more likely this season will end well. Else, once again, same old result in the playoffs, which I understand, some fans are ok with.
