We all might want to revise our estimate of the Giants upward

They did very well today against the Chiefs. It looks like wild card for us.

They are a much better football team than many want to give them credit for.

it will be wild card for us, man it sucks having to depend on others for help. The cowboys/Ny game was for division and we blew it.

Yeah...I'm starting to realize that...

The one thing that kinda irks me though is that I don't understand why teams to key on Barber and force Manning to beat them..quite honestly, at this stage of his career, he's pretty awful.

I really think that's the game plan that will beat them at this stage of Manning's career

He's throws knuckleballs...his accuracy is awful.

I dunno...I'm not quite "getting" the hype about him.

I'm sorry, but KC lost because of horrendous tackling...

My goodness! How many times can a team run the same sweep play and gain 40+ yards. I mean, it was embarrassing! I'd hate to be the KC defense when practice starts next week. That was the poorest excuse for defense I've seen...

The Giants are clearly the class of the NFC East with the best defense, a quality offensive line, the best RB and the best set of receivers. The thing that is really holding them back is Manning right now.

They arguably have 3 of the top 10 players in the NFC with Tiki, Osi and Strahan and each of them has the ability to take over a whole game by themselves. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see them in the Super Bowl.

That kicker is gonna but a stagger into their hearts.

Sure-he may have "recovered" from his slump recently. But having seen him play in Atlanta-their 02 record would have been a few wins more with a better kicker.

I think you are right eskimo...unfortuately. The Giant offensive line was makeshift and they still accomplished a lot on offense in the running game. We have not been that efficient all season. The Giant defense was good and they were also without a couple of starters.

I hope we get another shot at them but even if we do, I'm doubting we can win in their house with the OL we have right now.
