What a game.
The Giants definitely came out swinging. They never let up, and they were winning for a good portion of the game. The starters played the entire game.
For a while there, it wasn't looking good for Patriot fans. But, even then, I would rather lose a ligitimate game then win a gimme. It would've sucked, but I would've been the right way to do it. The Giants did their part; they tried their hardest.
As hard as a game as that was, it was never really that bad. When they were down by 12, there was still plenty of time left to play, so no real concerns. The worst game of the season was the Ravens. Sure, there were other close calls, but the Ravens was the biggest nail biter by far.
Go Pats. Go Giants. (The Giants are my new second favorite team. They stepped up in a big way.)

Patriots and Giants
The big game is less than 3 hours away. The patriots are going for legendary status.
There has been a lot of talk about wether or not the two teams are going to show up to play. There are playoff advantages for the Giants if they take it easy. Technically, this game doesn't mean anything to them. Technically, it doesn't mean anything to the Patriots either other than the opportunity to be the first team in 35 years to have a perfect season. They say that its meaningless if they don't go all the way, but I disagree. Clearly that would be a better season, but regardless, no one has gone 16 and 0, not to mention all of the records that are about to be broken.
I hope that both teams show up to play. Obviously I want the Patriots to beat the Giants handily, but I'd rather that it wasn't a gimme. I want the Giants to come out swinging, and for the Patriots to beat them toe-to-toe.
I heard a quote somewhere that the Giants coach stated that it is not his responsibility to beat the patriots. 15 other teams have tried. If that quote is at all accurate, then I disagree. Its not his responsibility to stop them, but it his responsibility to try just like every other team has tried. 20 years from now, do you want to look back at this team and think that maybe you could've stopped them if only you tried? This is a key moment in football history. Don't roll over.
