As each day passes, I’m trying to figure out all of the advantages that the Giants have on Sunday. There are some, but there needs to be more. The number one thing they got right now is their ‘MOJO’. We need to hope it carries through to the Superbowl. Say that the Giants are Austin Powers and the Cowboys are Dr. Evil. We need to hope that Dr. Evil does not take away Austin Powers’ mojo. Think about it this way. Do you remember the goal line stand against the Redskins in Week 3? Sure you do. Betts was stopped and the Giants got their mojo during that game. Big Blue went on to win 6 straight before the bye week. After the bye week, the Cowboys came into the Meadowlands and beat the Giants. Since then, the Giants lost their mojo. The Giants won some, lost some since then, but they never won in the same fashion as they did on that 6-game win streak. Now, the Giants have recaptured their mojo. So how far will it take them? I hope Dallas doesn’t take it away again. They are an offensive machine, but they are not playing like they did in Week 9 either. The Giants are on a one-game winning streak now, and they only need to win 2 more to make it to the Superbowl.
We have not won a Playoff game with Eli Manning, we have not had back-to-back outstanding performance games with Eli Manning, and we’re facing one of the best defensive teams in the NFL.
After the Giants huge win yesterday clinched the playoff spot, the Redskins victory over the Minnesota Vikings clinched the Giants the #5 seed overall. The best the Vikings or Redskins can finish is 9-7. With Tampa Bay’s loss they can do no better or worse then the 4th seed, the best record they can finish with is 10-6, but Seattle holds the Tie-Breaker.
I apologize to you all for not writing yesterday. I’m not feeling well at all, but I feel a notch better today than yesterday. So we got a HUGE game this Sunday, but it wouldn’t have been if we beat the Redskins. However, the G-MEN like to make us wait until the last possible second to make the Playoffs (i.e., we clinced the Playoffs in the final game of 2006). Since it is almost impossible that we beat the mighty Patriots in the final week, this probably is our final shot at making the Playoffs, unless other teams start losing. Ain’t that something? I think so. This one will be on Peyton’s kid brother’s arm. This is the #1 Draft Pick money shot right here:
Congratulations to Osi Umenyiora for being named to the 2007 NFC Pro Bowl team. I wish more Giants were named. Five Giants were named as alternates: Plaxico Burress, Jeremy Shockey, Chris Snee, Michael Strahan, and Jeff Feagles. Too bad they didn’t get selected…
That was FUGLY!!! It keeps getting worse and worse each week, even when they win. Big Blue dropped to 9-5 for the season and to 3-3 in the second half. This is the same thing as the past few seasons. The Giants MUST beat Buffalo, and it’s a good thing that we’re 6-1 on the road. If we go 1-1 through the AFC East then we’ll end up 10-6. We only need 1 win to get into the Playoffs. If we don’t win then we need a combination losses or ties. Tonight’s MNF game plays into what we need to know so here’s the scenario. We want Chicago to win this game because it is easier for us to focus on one team than two teams. If Chicago beats the Vikings then we can clinch with a Saints loss or tie. If the Vikings beat the Bears then we need a Washington loss or tie AND a New Orleans loss or tie.
