The Giants have a very good core of young players and apparently, a very smart GM. Plus, $26 million in cap room.
I'd be very surprised if the Giants fall back. I'm not saying they will win it all again, but I expect a playoff appearance.
Agreed. People that are hoping the Giants fall back aren't going by the facts. After beating us, GB, and NE you can't honestly say they were not the better team or at least deserving(And I still think we outplayed them). Its a question of fortitude. We totally choked, from our coaches to Patrick freaking Crayton, we have no one to blame but ourselves, and they stepped up.
Young QB who you can't argue has started to play better, and had a great post season. VERY Young stable of RBs, Plaxico, Amani (he may be hold but...) Steve Smith looks like a really smart football player, and I know why many of us wanted him out of USC. Their TE looks okay, can't say anything spectacular because I don't know enough. Thier O-line is what impresses me the most.
On D, Strahan shows no sign of slowing down, Tuck, Osi, Robbins, Mitchell, Pierce, etc... then Ross looks like he's going to be good. Can't say much for the rest of their seconday except they shut down or kept in check us, GB (in terrible conditions) and NE.
I hate saying it, but they have talent, and they all aren't first round picks like we seem to think we need.
They are on their upswing just as much as we are. It makes me sick the opportunity we blew, its like the Mavs all over again.
