I don't dispute that the Giants are always a tough team to beat due to how strong their passing game, and pass rush are.
However, their last 4 games:
Loss to Washington
Win vs. an imploding Jets team
Win vs. an imploding Cowboys team
Win vs. a team that just 2 weeks prior lost 45-16 to the Saints.
Yes the Giants have looked good in the last 3 weeks, but they're also doing it against some teams running on fumes.

In certain ways, this Giants team is just as good as the one that beat us in the NFC Championship Game. Big thing is that Eli is playing better.

I just hope our Oline will be able to stop the giants front 4; those guys look rough ... we going to have consistant protection for arod? They also did a great job with michael turner whom is no sprout when it comes to running the ball ... one of the best powerbacks out there.

Fortunately for us Aaron's arm is a bit stronger than Brett's was at the time.
I don't see a weak INT setting up a Giant's victory this time around.

I don't think the Giants will have to blitz to get pressure.
I'm sure they'll blitz some, but their front four will pressure Rodgers all day and force him into making tight throws.
This could easily be a game the Packers lose.
They will have to play tough, Rodger's will have to enter his playoff "beast mode" again, and our freakin' defense HAS to find a way to step-up.
If these things happen for three more games, we will win the Super Bowl.
If not, we won't.
I would expect it to happen, however.
Our defense just HAS to improve, especially with the significant amount of veteran leadership.
It would be nice to take a little pressure off the offense.

Giants were the team I worried most about going against the Packers because of their pass rush. If the Packers OL is Clifton, Lang, Wells, Sitton, Bulaga... I hope they can keep Aaron Rodgers upright and able to put up 40+ cuz that just might be what it takes.
Unless as nerdmann predicts, the defense magically shows up strong in the post season.

Vikesrule says Eli Manning is better than [ar].
I thought you'd all need a good laugh this morning.
Sad thing was he really said it.

I agree Zero...i think Rodgers will roll out often during this game. We may see Aaron rushing for 80 yards and the screen pass our bread and butter in the first half.
The extended forecast shows a high of 27 Sunday...does the weather become a factor?? I sure hope our rag tag defense shows up to play this Sunday!!

It must be difficult being such a discruntled little man such as Vikesrule.
He suffers from football inferiority envy, state inferiority envy, and man inferiority envy Dakotat style.

I think I need to send the little fella some copius amounts of T-love.
Here's to you little purple fella.

The link from Zero's JPP quote...JPP says Giants will win
Well I guess that's that, no point in playing the game.
