So I write a couple of dittys Friday for ESPN Insider (sorry, subscription only, and anyway, I reveal myself to be an idiot) about Carolina and the Giants, making a stats-based argument about how difficult they will be to beat in the playoffs because they can run the ball. Brilliant. Incisive. Logical. Elegant. Insidery.
And what do John Fox and Tom Coughlin do to me (and, yes, I will take this personally)? Put the game in the hands of their quarterbacks. And Delhomme and Manning put up a cumulative 9 turnovers (and, yes, just for spite I'm calling Eli's failed fourth-and-1 sneak a turnover). Making me a cumulative 0-2, in embarrassing fashion.
Note to self: Hedge all predictions with, "If team X can take care of the football..."
