Quality of opposition for giants has been poor (pats notwithstanding).

You need to look at the Giant’s IR list and active roster each week.. San Fran’s schedule doesn’t look that challenging either. (Detroit notwithstanding)

According to everyone the Giants season was over at the beginning of the year.

@wferg1121, you should be proud of how Giants played and won today but don’t be dense.

The quality of opponents for the niners have been much stronger.
Giants opponents W-L: 21-34
Niners opponents W-L: 31-32

Just because they beat the pats let’s not forget the squeek by win against the Dolcraps or the loss against the 2 win seattle team or the loss against the horrible skins. The only loss niners have has been in OT to the Crapboys.

Couglin is doing a good job even with the injuries but what Harbaugh has done with this turn around is amazing.

49′ers over Cowboys (aka “The Catch”) – “Niners were lucky, Everson Walls inexplicably let Clark catch the ball over his head.”

Broncos over Browns (“The Drive”) – “Broncos were lucky, Cleveland inexplicably let Broncos march down the field on their final possession.”

Steelers over Cardinals, SB 43 – “Steelers were lucky, Cardinals inexplicably let Holmes get both feet down in end zone.”

Your luck will run out and the usual December collapse will follow, as will the annual calls for rat face Coughlin’s job.

I’m not angry, it delights me when Giants fans think theyre better than they are because its all the more wonderful when they fall flat on their face later.

Everybody loves Eli – hes a decent QB but he could play the Colts next week and throw 4 awful picks. And theyd all be horrible throws off his back foot into double coverage.

Giants are frontrunners – write them off and they play well, then they play like crap against bad teams. Up and down to competition but so far this year theyve got the bounces. It wont last.

Please refrain from speaking…..this discussion is for teams with winning records. Not for basement dwelling, laughing stocks of the division. Cant wait to play you bums again.

Yeah, everybody LOVES Eli. You can tell that by the wonderful names he gets called on a regular basis.

Oh, well. I guess up and down is better than just playing bad against everyone for the last few weeks. remind me again…who is in last in the division? Oh yeah…Redskins.

Your point only proves that it wasn’t Eli playing well, it was the Pats D playing awful.

See the Matt Ryan interview when he was asked about how Eli should have answered it.

What game were you watching? the PI at the end zone was a horrible throw, no chance that would have been caught. PI on Arrington was a badly under thrown ball, All Arrington had to do was turn around.

Every time I watch a Giants game I’m still shocked he’s getting 100m.

Naah. Couglin has done well but it’s still harbaugh.

According to everyone the Giants season was over at the beginning of the year.

Eli Manning is what he is. Every now again he comes up with a magic drive, every now and then he comes up with a bone-head play that costs the Giants a game. The rest of the time he’s a very good quarterback. Good enough to win, dangerous enough to lose.

Regardless, today was a HUGE win for the Giants and Eli was a very big part of it.

They played poorly for 3 quarters, and tried to steal it at the end (which is more I can say for their game against Pittsburgh). Brady looked completely off.

Their defense played their best game of the season. Its ironic that their offense was the real issue for the most part, turning the ball over and giving the Giants short fields to work with.

But something I am sure Belichick knows is that as brilliant is he is in creating schemes (this looked like a different defensive team than last week), he really lacks the defensive personnel of a great team. He is partially to blame for that since their drafting of defensive players has been terribly inconsistent. Does he get the most out of his players? Sure. But you can’t except to win Superbowls when special team players (Sergio Brown) are playing in the most crucial moments of a football game. That pass interference was horrendous.

I think its good that so many teams are playing man coverage on this offense. There is always a way to figure out how to beat a coverage scheme, and if they (New England) don’t figure it out next week, they will be letting the division slip away.

I see the Jets as a do or die game for their season. We will see how it turns out. I have faith that Belichick and Brady will right this ship.

This could be a springboard. I’m much more confident about next week now than I would’ve been if they had lost and started this stretch on the wrong foot.

That loss was on the Patriots defense on those last two drives (and those last two drives prove that if you play NE, any play you don’t pass is a waste). The Patriots offense is no good either – it is all Welker and Gronkowski. Can’t consistently move the ball when you have no one on the team that can make a play down the field. Branch has disappeared, Hernandez seems to disappear at times too. Ochocinco has given them nothing (i place a good share of that blame on Brady – you have to find ways to get players involved). NE does not have one player you fear can make a huge play, either on special teams or on the offense. It is all on brady to make every throw and we have seen the last few weeks, that when he is off, the offense can’t do anything.

That defense is terrible…

Isn’t Bill-a-cheat supposed to be a defensive wizard?

How long before his image starts to tarnish?

Shannahan’s image?
Parcells made that mess in Miama…how long?

keep sleeping on my giants. if the defense is finally starting to turn the corner, which it looked like for about three quarters today, watch out.

giants record since the season was supposed to start crashing down on their heads: 1-0.

Sorry, jd, but you already jumped off the Giants bandwagon on an earlier thread. You need permission from the rest of us Giants fans to get back on.
