Giants are 5-0 but......
 
opponents are combined 6-19

Washington, Dallas, Tampa Bay, Kansas City and Oakland


I'm FAR from impressed......True the G-Men are the class of the NFC but let's get real. For the exception of Dallas (barely) the rest of these teams are pure garbage. They have beat up on the JV of the NFL for the first 5 weeks and have not had a true test yet. It will be interesting to see how they react. Im sure Payton and G. Williams have something nice for them this weekend

And the total record of the teams we played is 8-11. The difference of one team because of our bye week. The best way to measure this would be to not include the Oakland game which puts them at 5-15. They deffinitly havn,t had a challenge yet. 72% vs. 33% win to loss ratio. The teams we played were way better excluding the Lions and the Bills. Philly's got a chance to contend with NY in there conference and The Jets have had two bad games in a row but the Fins were bound to win some day. The way Washington, Dallas, Tampa Bay, Kansas City and Oakland are playing they have absolutely no shot at the postseason, whereas Phili and the Jets do. I hope the dome is so loud it splits there ears. Geaux Saints!!!!

Come Monday morning The Giants will be 5-1, which isn't a bad record.

remember that 5 of the losses the giants opponents have are because the giants beat them so even tho the teams look bad on paper, the record is still pretty respectable

you have to beat the bad teams and make it close with the good teams.....if you dont then you earn no respect and never get a push into the playoffs

True enough ... another point to consider... the winning victory margin. .... the media still have a love fest for anything New York. It'll be a fun game against the Gmen.

I don't know...but for some reason that sound so "Yogi-ish".

little scary, yes.

but you know the last 3 years we were getting torched by guys like David Carr, and scrubs I cant even name.

I know one thing. If you think we're starting to get respect now, wait till be

Yes...but Sean and Mickey were wise enough to go out and get some "Eli Kryptonite" in the form of Darren Sharper. As Artie Johnson use to say, it should be "vellly intelesting".

For some reason I am more afraid of Brandon Jacobs than Eli Manning. With Manning still a bit hurt, the Saints will probably get a heavy dose of Jacobs. Then throw Bradshaw into the mix, going to be a tough pill to swallow...

haa! I just got that.

Well you know if score lots of point on them, you're more likely to beat them by a lot, then they're gonna have a bad defense.

Jacobs doesnt look the same like he did last year. He looks real sluggish. Bradshaw and those Wrs scare me the most. As long as we stop the running game and get to Eli we should have no problem of winning this game.

Eli Manning is not Sanchez, but he is not nearly as polished as his brother. I imagine that Sharper gets close again or gets one. With the defensive scheme Williams runs it allows Sharper to "read" the QB and have a chance to break on a lot of balls thrown anywhere on the field.

I fully expect us to win this game by at least 9, yet of course I am in North Carolina so I am stuck with the damn Panthers game on TV!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If this game were in the meadowlands I would be more concerned than I am. Just reading some of their post on the Giants boards, they fully expect to demolish us. I just dont see that happening. I think they will play a soft zone on us and Brees will pick them apart. He is due for a big game. They know better than to blitz Brees.

I also think our running game will have a big impact. I think they are ranked 19th against the run.

As far as our D is concerned, we will have to get pressure on Eli. He will be the best QB that we have faced thus far. As said earlier, I dont think Brandon Jacobs will have a huge impact. He has been struggling this season.

While i worry about the fact that Eli will be first good QB we've faced, i feel that Giants fans should worry about their defense facing their first good (actually great) offense. (I don't think Dallas counts)

I expect our offense to really break out and have an outstanding game. I don't care how good the Giants Defense is. Sean Payton will make sure the offense is firing on all cylinders and i doubt we'll see drew brees go 3 games w/o a touchdown.
Expect 28-38 points against the Giants

Welcome to the B&G bro... I totally agree. I think our offense will expose the Giants D. The Cowgirls had a huge game offensively on them and their excuse was because it was in Jerry-land. A lame attempt to excuse their lack of D. It's go time on Sunday. 5-0 sounds so good!
