The Giants are Peaking

Many factors are evident which makes for a pretty good game by the New York Giants. Manning has never had this many quality receievers who are healthy. Plaxico is the best he has been physically all year. Steve Smith is improving with every game. Boss is making important plays and Toomer remains the great receiver he has always been. And don't discount Sinorice Moss coming out to make it five wides. Now that Burress is practicing, Eli is able to practice with everyone where they will be in the game. And the receivers are not dropping the ball the way they have during the year in leading the league in dropped passes. And be aware of that offensive line.

Ahmad Bradshaw gets better with every game and provides a contrast with Jacobs which catches defenses unaware. Hixon is an added attraction to improved special teams, giving the G men important field position. Jacobs is hitting with such ferocity that tacklers are wary of him.

Tuck is only getting better which is scary, while Osi has yet to reach his peak. And Strahan is more motivated than ever. The secondary, while not completely healthy, is better than it has been. The linebackers are steady.

All of which adds up to a quality effort against the Patriots.
