They have good WRs, RBs and TEs. Their running game averages over 4.6 yards per carry and had over 2,100 yards this year. Burress played on a bad ankle and still managed 12 TDs and over 1000 yards.

They have good defensive lineman.Strahan a HOF guy had 9 sacks, Tuck had 10 and Umenyiora had 13. This team overall sacked opposing QBs 53 times and had 61 tackles for a loss. They gave up less than 100 yards per game against the run. They might not have a great secondary but no team is strong at DB, LB and DL at the same time.

They have speed at LB and they get after the QB very well not to mention picking up receivers 15-20 yards downfield. Pierce was everywhere last night. Mitchel was a blitz machine.

Manning stood up under pressure and made plays last night and throughout the playoffs. Frankly he was one of the main reasons that they underperformed with his 20 INTs. If he had played at the level he did the past 5 games this team is 13-3/14-2 going into the playoffs.

The Giants are good in several areas . . . even very good. They aren't really great in any -- with the exception of their pass rush.

Twenty years ago this team would have had a hard time even making the playoffs.
