Still the Top of the Class
By SuperFan
When you’re writing about the Giants, it’s not often that you consistently have nothing bad to say about them. Sad but true. Yet, the Giants are currently still unbeaten and looking very good after a dominating victory over Seattle. Everyone’s playing at the top of their game, so much so that our backups are making the highlight reel, and our younger guys are scoring all our touchdowns. It’s unbelievable watching them play this year. Week after week, Eli’s continued growth and mastery at the helm is nothing short of spectacular, and Brandon Jacobs is completely redefining the running back position.
Seeing them play the last couple weeks, I’m feeling really glad that we played and beat the Redskins when we did – they’re on fire right now. Then again, so are the G-men. It’s funny how suddenly all NFC teams that aren’t in the East are viewed by people as second-rate teams. That’s how tough our division is right now.
Fortunately for me, the game was on the local Fox channel out here in Culver City, so I got to watch the game from home as soon as I woke up. At first I wasn’t quite sure if I was completely awake, seeing how well we were manhandling the Seahawks. Finally I realized I was in fact up, we were in fact playing amazingly well on all cylinders, and I was very happy. Plus, our secondary finally got into the stats column! Atta boy, Kevin Dockery. Watching the game yesterday, as good as our offense was playing, I couldn’t get over how great our secondary’s coverage was. I understand the Seahawks wide receiver core has been plagued with injuries, but still the guys they had on the field were completely shut down. Every short pass seemed like it was immediately met with blue jerseys. It was awesome.
It was so awesome, as a matter of fact, that I couldn’t even watch the end of the game. No, I mean it. It was such a big blowout that Fox switched it over to the telecast of the Reskins-Eagles game. I had to watch the rest of the game on NFL.com’s play-by-play gamecast. Television has done so much for the sport.
I never thought I’d say this, but after sitting through another mind-numbing telecast of Monday Night Football, I actually miss Dennis Miller. Honestly, you could throw Howard Stern in there and he would sound smarter about the game than Tony Kornheiser. How that guy gets to be in the booth of a primetime football game every week is beyond me. Howard Cosell used to work in that booth! What the hell happened?!
As you can see, it’s hard to find a lot to write about when your team’s playing very well. It pretty much means everything is as it should be, all jobs are being performed the way they’re supposed to, which leaves nothing more than stating the obvious more often than not. Believe me, I’d much rather have the G-men be playing as well as they are and have little to indulge on than the other way around!
Right now, we’re looking like an elite team. We’re beating the teams we’re supposed to beat. Therefore, I see no reason why the next few games should pose any real problems. Let’s see our G-men keep making a statement every week as to why they’re the team to beat in the NFC!
