The overhyping of the New York Giants by the National Media...someone please explain it to me

The Guru is trying to understand all the love for the Giants in spite of their collapse a year ago that was reminiscent of Dallas' two seasons ago. The offense seemingly has no issues despite losing a 1k back and the two starting WRs. Seems odd. Giants fans, do you feel the same as the mainstream media?

How prophetic the Guru has been on the overrated G Men.

[NYGIANTPRIDE]

Let's see...

Probably the best D line in the NFL.

A running game that was the best in the NFL last year.

We won the Super Bowl without Ward... We've got one of the top O lines in the NFL.

Our secondary is underrated, by a mile.

Hixon had better numbers than ANY WR on Dallas' roster, as did Smith.

Oh btw... Eli had two 300+ yard games, scoring over 21 points WITHOUT PLAX.

Pride. Check out the video link and tell me how great the line was.

Also. Has any Giant WR on the roster eclipsed 1k yards, made a Pro Bowl, or scored more than say.... 5 TDs in a given season?

My point is this, the lack of a WR threat is going to impair your offense like Dallas' rushing offense did years ago with the loss of Irvin. Still had a bruising line and Emmitt Smith, didnt have the same production as defenders creeped in the box. Brandon is a big boy but is still fragile.

in retrospective this video is hilarious. have fun watching the Superbowl. go giants!

[thewitness2012]

cause unlike cowboys fans we dont put pressure on our qb he has a ring and showed how good of a clutch qb he is romo is still in the hot seat his time might come but until the giants leave the nfc east prepare for sweeps and upsets

I guess they replaced Plaxico and Toomer just fine. lol

[BigD9428]

They are overrated because they have nobody on offense who is going to be able to replace Burress and Toomer. You are right their D-line is spectacular. The O-line is good too, but It doesn't matter how much time Eli has in the pocket if he doesn't have anyone to throw too. The Giants were 9-1 with Burress and 3-3 without him.

have you looked at there defense on paper it certainly looks better than last year

[vcownzraptors]

sick D-LINE great O-LINE with a great running game these are all tools to win in the NFL and the passing game will be good enough to win GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG-MEN baby

[PorkyGRock]

Lack of WR threat is not proven yet. Make these statements at about week 5. Also a running game is more potent than a passing attack, run to open up the pass and use screens to open up the game for the WR's. I think they will be fine with the WR's they have. Let them sleep on Barden or Nicks and one deep pass will change the look of any defense in a hurry. Jacobs is not fragile he had a twisted ankle, be for real dude. lol

[PorkyGRock]

Stan giants only question marks are LB and WR.

[PorkyGRock]

Elaborate on why they are overrated, don't just say it cause you dislike them. Please elaborate because the Giants have one of the best Olines in the NFL and one of the best Dlines in football with a highly improved Dline again and highly improved secondary. Wide Receiver is the only question mark and Linebacker positions.
