Winning feels good.
The Giants never make it easy for me. Being down a point at the end of the first half, it seemed like one of those games where we'd choke away our momentum and lose. Fortunately, the bounces went our way, the defense stepped up after the first drive, and Manning threw some incredible passes. Hooray for victory.
I feel really good about this team. If Hixon is healthy when he returns (not guaranteed), then the Giants would have four young talented wide receivers on their roster, playing for Eli, who's doing better at quarterback than he ever has. And getting back all the defensive players off of injured reserve will make a huge difference on its own.
Unless there are contracts expiring on key players this offseason, the Giants are in a great position going into next year. If they just shore up their offensive line, they'll be a really dominant team.
Yes, the Giants are a team that lost to the Seahawks once and the Redskins twice, but they also beat the Patriots twice, and both SF and Green Bay on the road. It's probably silly to make playoff predictions about any team before the offseason even really starts, but it's crazy to try to write the Giants off after what they've accomplished.
EDIT: Looking at the unrestricted free agents list, things aren't dire, but they could be interesting for New York. Six cornerbacks and four WRs up for free agency. Hixon, Manningham, Goff, Terrell Thomas, Grant, Ross, are all free agents. I wonder how many they can keep.
