Monday Metal: Gridiron Edition or Thoughts on the New York Giants

See how I did that? This is why I get paid the big-bucks people.

The New York Giants are 11-5 and the 5th seed in the NFC. This is good.

They have the best Giants defense I've since since at least 2000, maybe 1990 (I turn into a sentimental fool over that team).

The offense is Eli Manning to Odell Beckham, but running back Paul Perkins has been coming on lately.

This team has an uncanny knack for making big plays. Just see yesterday's game.

That game, a 19-10 victory over the Foreskins would terrify me if I were playing the Giants. A game without meaning for Big Blue, the defense came out and kicked ass anyway.

They remind me a bit of the 2000 Ravens, great defense, bad offense, with the former carrying them to victory.

If this team won the Super Bowl, we would have to rate them as one of the great defenses ever.

That's a big 'if'. Win a playoff game first.

Of course in 2007 and 2011 I was satisfied with a single playoff victory. Look how those seasons turned out.
