This is a story about how the Giants have a path to the Super Bowl. This story features matchups and possibilities drawn purely from my imagination, but my imagination is powered by hope, and hope is a dangerous thing.
It all starts with the Wildcard game against the Vikings. SKOL rules the matchup this season, but a lot of that is based on the G-men not being healthy or on anything resembling ‘a roll’. Over the last few weeks (including a close loss against the Eagles) the team has been clicking and coming together the way they did in the early weeks–except the offense keeps shifting and evolving to meet new challenges. This is what the Vikings must be careful about. Over the last few weeks the Giants have thrown the ball just about as well as anyone in the league. They’ve become a legitimate passing team in spite of the top pass catcher being a dude they picked up off the Bills Practice Squad following Week 9…
The pass rush is getting home and the Vikings are down a few linemen. This helps. What hurts is how thoroughly the Vikings TE dominated us. I think that looks different now with Landon Collins contributing really good minutes as a Money backer being able to play the pass and the run. I think that is going to be a difference maker in this match up, and in others if and when the Giants move forward. I believe they can win, and I am excited to see them do it. If they do, what happens?
Eagles, baby. There ain’t no way the Niner’s fall this early.
Some Thoughts:
- I like anime. However, when it is on for at least 14 hrs a day, I don’t like anime. I need it in moderation–like anything else.
