ON THE ROAD AGAIN!
What a performance by the New York Giants! back to back to back, great output by a team thought to fail by many in the first round. They have been simply amazing and the determination of each player to step up in the big game has had the greatest impact on us.
It all begins with Eli Manning. Throughout the season, Eli has had his ups and downs. Being put down by commentators and said to not have what it takes to bring Big Blue to the Superbowl, Eli has proven his humbleness pays off at the end of the day. These past few weeks have been outstanding for the Giants and most of it thanks to Eli and his composure during our critical times.
Our offense has been very effective and a main factor of our aerial game has been the effectiveness of our dependent veteran Amani Toomer. Also, to be able to depend on our rookies in the playoffs has more than paid off, especially with Kevin Boss and Steve Smith on the field.
The defense has definitely made a statement to the NFL. It does not matter how many pro-bowlers you have on your squad when it comes to the playoffs. Alongside Antonio Pierce, the Giants have been looking powerful on many games. Even with Sam Madison hurt, we have done the right thing rotating our players. We have stepped up not completely, but enough to send the opponents home (crying in T.O.s case).
Finally, we’re on the road again. I have not seen a team so comfortable in winning on the road than the Giants. We love pressure and the underdog spirit has woken up the beast from the east. The Green Bay Packers are our next victims and we’re not sleeping on this game. Like I said before, this is the playoffs…We don’t care who you are, we want this trophy and Green Bay is getting in the way.
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.
One more day until the big game begins. I’m hoping that Tom Coughlin is smart enough to come up with a really successful game plan that will almost certainly guarantee a Playoff berth this week. If he manages to do that then he can rest everybody like Plaxico, Eli, Jacobs, Wilson, and all of the others that are playing sub-par or are banged up and need a break. If T.C. cannot figure out how to do that then he will have to figure out how to beat the undefeated Patriots to clinch the Playoffs while defending poor play calling which will cost him his job. So, even though the pressure in on the Giants tomorrow, I expect big things from them just as they have delivered the past 2 seasons. The only difference is no Tiki. So our 2-Headed Monster needs to be that force. Eli must continue to hand the ball off a ton of times. The defense must not give up a lead where Coughlin believes that he needs to alter the game plan. Just go out and win. 
In tomorrow’s big game against the Eagles, Tom Coughlin and his Coaching Staff are going to have to make plenty of game-time decision about who is starting on both sides of the ball. T.C. mentioned that all of the backups are ready to step up and play some football. Hopefully he is correct, and we don’t get burned like the Dirty Birds did in Week 4 when they were down 5 players. 
We are getting ready for another crazy NFC East game against the Iggles. Last time, we sacked McNabb 12 times and I loved every minute of it. Osi had half of them. This time, Osi needs a bakers dozen, and the team should be at 2 dozen or something. Enjoy.
