I will touch on the jealousy of the earlier blog below in a bit. Let's talk about things that matter. I was just wondering how Knicks fans who also follow the Jets felt about this....
Here's looking at you G$. Thoughts? Concerns?
As for the blog prior to this one I believe the correct title is
IRRELEVANT 49ers FAN SAYS WHAT!?!?!?
I enjoy the haterade, especially when it has a shot of Kettle One fear dropped in for good measure (Shaken, not stirred). I just love the fear emanating from so many fans who prayed that the Giants would not make it to the playoffs. Alas their prayers weren't answered and its time for Big Blue to take all those fans dreams of winning a Super Bowl and making them go Nite Nite.

UPDATED: Who's Next
The JRADM show needs to clarify a few minor details from the previous post:
It's a shame J-Rod has to resort to mis-leading stats in order to sway the readers view on this matchup. I, Da Man, have no "horse in this race" so here's the actual numbers.
1. The Giants Pass Def: The "unstoppable" "explosive" "juggernaut" pass D is ranked 29th out of 32 teams. But look at the last couple of games, the Giants look like they are running through offensive linemen!! Looks are deceiving so lets go inside the numbers. They are ranked 29th giving up 255.1 y/g. Maybe the D was much aligned in the early-middle part of the season. So how bout in the last 5 games? They've given up, 369, 321, 185, 258, 289 yards in the last 5. That's 284.4 y/g, 29 y/g higher!
Are they getting to the QBs of late? Sure, they got to Rex Grossman, Mark Sanchez and Tony Romo (with a swollen hand). Yes, they got to those guys. But whats the point of getting to the QB on 1st down only to give up a 30yd pass on 2nd?
On the flip side, Matt Ryan has thrown no INTs in his last 4, correct. But Ryan has also thrown for a shade under 300 yards in the last 5* (*Matt played very little in the 1st half as the Falcons went up 42-0, so the number reflect 4 of the last 5 games). So a QB coming in averaging just under 300yds against a team giving up just under 300 yds and a key matchup is the pass rush? Huh?
2. Juilo Jones: He wasn't mentioned as a key matchup. Why? Because J-Rod has no idea who he is.
Now, my personal take:
How can you vault your Def AND say it'll be a shootout in the same post?? SMH

Whose Next!?!?
As the newly crowned NFC East champs have disposed of Romo and his Boooyzzzzz, its on to face an irrelevant team that really has no business being in the playoffs. If you said the Falcons, you are correct. Why do I not take this team seriously? Well the Giants are 3 point favorites in the early line. Look for that point spread to increase as we get closer to game day. In their last meeting in 2009 the Giants defeated a MUCH better Atlanta football team.
Keys of the match up
ATL
1. Matt Ryan: Matt Ryan has been efficient all season long. He has not thrown a pick in his last 4 games. Unfortunately those last 4 opponents did not have the explosive Giant's pass rush.
Giants
1. Elite Manning: We have all heard the hype of V. Cruz but Elite Manning is the Giants best player, has the ability to single handedly lift the team to victory with late game heroics.
2. Giants Pass Rush: The Giants had 42 sacks headed into Week 17 with 22.5 of those coming from Osi Umenyiora and the unstoppable juggernaut Jason Pierre-Paul.
This game has the possibility of turning turn into a shootout as both teams have struggled in their secondary this season. If that happens the NY Giants have too much fire power for the Falcons to keep pace and with the Giants defensive front 4 causing havoc, Matt Ryan will be in for a long afternoon.
