Totally agree. Giants are doing their part to be a highly relevant team come December, which should come as an annoyance to all of us.

With that said, I think their tendency to turn the ball over combined with their tendency to play in games decided by one possession, they're the kind of team that is prime to be upset by a lesser talented team. We'll see.

Their defense has been good enough to cover up Eli's brain farts. How long that maintains remains to be seen. Either way they are a dangerous team that can do enough on offense minus the brain farts because of their defense to pose a real threat. For whatever Reston Eli seems to get a little smarter during the postseason and does just enough to ride the coat tails of his defense to win games they shouldn't.

I'll be honest, I don't want to see ny or pats in the playoffs smh. Eli is too damn lucky and he knows our pass rush is weak. Hate him

Man NFC east is dangerous - we lost to the Giants in the home opener, beat the Commanders but cousins overthrew 2 open receivers for TDs, and it took a coin flip and overtime for us to beat the Eagles at home.

Wanted to say that and I hate to say it seeing as how I'm a Rangers fan. Also, I read this from PFF.

The Giants may well be in a situation where they want to spell Pierre-Paul and Vernon, but simply don’t trust any of the backups to get the job done in their place, however limited the role is. Even in run defense, the story is much the same. Pierre-Paul, Vernon, and DT Damon Harrison are the only New York defensive linemen to have strong grades against the run, so the team can’t even try and tilt the balance of their snaps by giving some of the obvious run situations to other players.

Pierre-Paul is on pace to play 1,128 defensive snaps this season, and Vernon 1,075. Those would both be among the highest figures PFF has seen from an edge defender over the past decade—JPP’s would be the third-highest figure among all edge defenders over that span, in fact. Only Connor Barwin and Chandler Jones in 2013 played more snaps than that projected total, and neither had a strong pass-rushing grade by the end of it.

If one of those two break down, their run defense is in trouble IMO.
