Comments on: The Giants grab the third spot in the Preseason Power Rankings http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/07/23/the-giants-grab-the-third-spot-in-the-preseason-power-rankings/ ProFootballTalk on NBCSports.com Tue, 18 Jun 2013 21:32:45 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: salventuri http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/07/23/the-giants-grab-the-third-spot-in-the-preseason-power-rankings/#comment-1896267 Wed, 25 Jul 2012 16:48:44 +0000 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1067985#comment-1896267 I’m a die hard Giants guy but ranked 3 sounds about right. Everyone is out to get the champs the following year so its going to be tough. Although I can guarantee a better record than 9-7. I’m just hoping for a complete trashing of Dallas on the season opener. Something like 42-7 would almost be as good as another ring.

And on media bias against the Giants, I agree 100%. They get no respect yet teams such as Dallas along with losers like Tony Romo always seem to be glorified. When I watch a Dallas game, Romo’s name must be mentioned 300 times, many of which with praise. How many rings or playoff wins does he have? LMAO!

Oh, and regarding the Giants being “lucky” 4 time super bowl winners, I don’t exactly remember any blowouts with the New Englands wins which were all by a margin of 3 points.

Its time the G-Men get some respect. Especially Eli.

The all time luckiest catch in 07′ and another prayer chucked up by Eli last year enables them to eke out 2 SB victories in recent years. The road to get to the 2 SB’s was more impressive than the SB wins themselves, particularly in 07.
The defense is what makes this team tick and not surprisingly, the Pats defense in both SB’s was sub-par.
Who says defense doesn’t win championships?

Victor Cruz changed everything last year and as long as he stays healthy, I’d say they should be ranked number 1. By far a more balanced team than GB or NE.

However, we can’t ignore the fact that they were a 9-7 team which is the worst record ever for a SB champion.

It makes sense to me

I gotta’ tell ya’. I’m so sick of undervaluing this damn team. We beat them most times we’ve played them lately. It’s so sickening to see them win Superbowl(S) and we can’t get our ish together. Eli deserves to be mentioned with the other premier passers in the league. The D year after year gets after it. This is deserved as much as it pains me to say so.

During the recent playoffs, the Giants defeated the Packers decisively, and then went on to defeat both the 49ers in the NFL Championship game and the Patriots in Super Bowl XLVI. Importantly, the Giants also defeated New England during their 2011 regular-season matchup. Are we to believe that the Patriots should now rank above the Giants? Not in my book.

Giants will be more balanced this year with Wilson/ bradshaw carrying the rock and hynosirus in his second year clearing some holes. RR and the combination of Barden/jerrigan/hixon will fill manninghams shoe’s nicely. TE remains a question but I think Bennett will play better than most expect. A healthy/happy Osi will only make the best D line in the league even better. Prince /TT and webster is a solid group of corners. Kenny and Antrol are the best combo of safties in the East and maybe the Nfc. And of course we have Canton bound Eli freaking Manning coming off his best season. That 5th SB is coming Giants fans.
Driveforfive baby!

They have a knack for winning Super Bowls when no one expects them to be good.
