I’m still a half-hearted Giants fan, and I think the NFL ought to really sit down and think hard about what it’s all about after this season, especially if the Giants win tonight. There’s no way in hell a team with 7 losses should be playing in a Super Bowl. What’s even more ridiculous is that the Giants finished the regular season with a negative (394-400) point differential. This is a championship contender?! LOL.
Giants aren’t that good. They just got hot at the right time.
It’s all about peaking at the right time. The Giants had a rough patch in late November, but they got it back under control in the last few weeks and have played great football in the playoffs. They’re proof that things are working great in the NFL today. It’s an any given Sunday league where you there’s no way to know at the beginning of the season what’s going to happen in the end. Even with a dynasty like the Pats this season saw their first playoff win since the last time they faced the Giants in the SB, nobody was really thinking they were going to get it together. Having an unpredictable season makes it a more exciting season, with higher levels of fan engagement, and that means more spending. Which is, in the end, what it’s all about, entertainment for money.
