![]() ![]() He just has to remember not to do too much and take advantage of what the opposing defense gives him. There are risks in this game and let’s look at them.Įli is at the top of his game and truly may be the best player in football. But that does not mean the Cowboys can’t beat the Giants. And they are certainly a better team than the Dallas Cowboys. There are serious contenders such as the Patriots, Packers, and Saints, but the Giants are stronger. To be clear, I consider the Giants to be the best team in football. Over the years, many folks on BBI interpret this as over-negativity. Giants on Offense: Every team has concerns and weaknesses and the point of these game previews is to as soberly as possible identify the potential risks in each upcoming game. But they can tell their grandsons that they were there, with Tom Coughlin, and Eli Manning, and Justin Tuck – all-time greats – winning that third NFL title on a team that achieved legendary status. We’re going to kick the hell out of him all the time and we’re going to go through him like crap through a goose.”ĭo that and when these players are sitting around their firesides 30 years from now, they won’t be talking about World War II. We’re going to hold onto him by the nose and we’re going to kick him in the ass. We are advancing constantly and we’re not interested in holding onto anything except the enemy. ![]() “Now there’s another thing I want you to remember: I don’t want to get any messages saying that we are holding our position.

In the 87 seasons of this flagship franchise, the Giants have won eight NFL titles. The Giants would be in the same category as the Patriots of the 2000s or the Cowboys of the 1990s. Three NFL titles in six years – especially during the free agent era – would award the Giants with incontestable dynastic status. The Giants can truly achieve Dynasty status. It’s there for the taking if they are smart and strong enough to take it. But that is the price of success.īut the approach this team must take is that there is a tremendously rare opportunity that lies right before them. ![]() Nevertheless, although it is unfair, anything less than another NFL title will be considered a disappointing season for the Giants and their fans. Free agency, the salary cap, and the expanded number of teams make it more difficult than ever. In the Super Bowl era since 1967, it’s only been done eight times. The downside to success is that the team’s fans expect further success. Most of the other teams out there can’t say that. The Giants don’t believe they are Super Bowl contenders – they know it.

That success has created a championship culture in the Giants’ locker room. Only three teams – the Giants, Steelers, and Patriots – can boast of multiple NFL titles in recent years.
