Yeah, it was an odd statement to make, considering they beat every East team in the regular season (Except my cowboys
), but I meant for them being "that good" those games were only one possession games; even against the Redskins, if memory serves me correctly. If you recall, the East was a train-wreck this season, but still gave the 9'ers a run for their money.
Beat the Eagles by 1.
Lost to the Boys by 3.
Beat the Gmen by 7.
Beat the Skins by 8.
And after the Saints game, the 9'ers didn't instill much confidence in me. They scored 14 points in the first quarter off of Saints' turnovers. Yes, great defense had something to do with it, but so did poor judgement on the Saints' part. The 9'ers went 3 full quarters without getting into the endzone again, until the last 2 minutes of the 4th quarter. Whereas the Saints kept getting into the endzone at least once a quarter, after the First.
The 9'ers are certainly a good team, but I just don't think they're as good as their record says--Kind of like the Broncos, but for the sake of this thread, I won't mention "his" name. They are a GOOD team that has "squeaked by" and caught some good breaks that have inflated their record and perception.
(Double checked here, before publishing this post, so as to have some support behind this argument:

--With that said, they would steam-roll my Cowboy team in the playoffs.
I hate the Giants, (and I'm going to have to hear flack from all of my friends about this for another year or two if they advance to the SB), but I feel they have the experience, the talent, the urgency and the consistency to beat this 9'ers team Sunday.
