It's All Coming Down to This

After Ahmad Bradshaw ran over Brodney Pool and coasted into the end zone for a fourth quarter touchdown, the message was clear. The Gmen won the so called "Battle for New York." Truthfully I don't understand such overhype, but I guess Jets head coach Rex Ryan is to blame. What bugs me the most about how he uses the media to hype up games is he doesn't even make it about the game he makes it all about himself and what he thinks. It's selfish in my book.

But hey how about Victor Cruz breaking Amani Toomer's single season franchise record for receiving yards in a season. Not only that he did it with style. A 99 yard touchdown reception when the Giants were backed up in their own end zone. Simply awesome. That salsa dance is like fine wine it gets better with age. That was easily the play of the game.

Alright now that the Giants have beaten the Jets and are done with the stupidity of Rex Ryan we can think about more important things. The entire season as we know it has come down to one final game against our division enemies the Dallas Cowboys. Sunday night, the lights, the drama, it's going to be a battle beyond recognition. I get chills up my spine just thinking about it. This is going to be one hell of a football game.

A battle for the NFC East in the final week of the regular season. Unbelievable. As we can remember from our last game against the Cowboys, these teams matchup against each other pretty well. I would expect both Eli and Romo to have good games. I know Romo injured his hand in that game against the Eagles, but I would be very surprised if he did not play in this game. But then again it was his throwing hand and you never know. It will be interesting to see what happens with that.

I cannot imagine a better way to bring in the new year. The Giants have had a very erratic season filled with many highs and many lows. But so have the Cowboys. The Giants have also typically gotten together and put in some remarkable team efforts for big games. As a fan am I nervous? Absolutely. But that's just because of what's at stake. Am I confident the Giants can win? Damn right. I have been correct 8 out of 15 times in predicting Giants victories this season. Sure I always predict the Giants will win, but that's not an arrogance, it's a philosophy about believing in your team. It's something I think is very important in the world of being fan. Against all odds when the Giants backs are against the wall and it doesn't look good, you still gotta believe. Because that's what being a sports fan is all about in my opinion, not just rooting for your team, but truley believing in them with your heart and soul.

Giants. Cowboys. It's all coming down to this.

But no matter what, don't stop believing in the Giants. If that clock is winding down and we need to score against all odds and we have the ball, we're going to do whatever's necessary to win the game. I believe in the New York Football Giants.
