Before yesterday's third quarter, I was about ready to tell people to panic. The Giants miss Plaxico Burress, because they're left with nobody on the perimeter who scares a defense (insert bad gun joke here). Against the Eagles, Manning was on target, but no one could catch. Against Dallas the next week, nobody could catch because Manning was off target. And Jacobs was limping. Worst of all, the O-line looked tired. Same thing in the first half yesterday.
Then all of a sudden, Eli makes a couple of throws, the front five start pounding out openings, Jacobs runs hard, and Bradshaw runs wild. The OT drive was a thing of brutal beauty. A nice win that buys them time to heal.
It all comes down to how fresh the defense--especially the D-line--is for the playoffs.
