The Giatns are now being hyped up like that Pats were last week. Issue with the Pats was they have one of the worst defenses in football and have been able to hide it. Last week they were run over and you think it will get better against the Steelers? After that their secondary gets worked on by Manning. The Giants are winning games against poor teams and backup QBs - the Eagles should be able to lay the smack down on them, but the Cowboys will not put up a fight this week. Their schedule has one tough stretch - Philli, Min, and GB in December with 2 of them being road games.
Exactly...people have told me, "oh it's a different Giants team this year than the one that went 5-0 by blowing out all those weak teams only to get exposed when the schedule got tough because of Fewell, the safeties, etc.." Well...what happened when they played the Colts this year? Humiliation. I remember the Eagles crushing them last year, shortly after the Saints did. I tell this to all the Giants fans I know, beat Philly, and then I'll start believing.
+1 He seems to be cherry-picking stats with somewhat random frequency. I'm not sure I get the reasoning.
