Best Team in Football?

This may be a shocking statement to some, but the Giants might be the best team in football.  They totally dominated the Cowboys and are tied for the best record in the NFC.  Since the disappointing Tennessee game, they have won 4 in a row heading into the bye week.  The offense looks great and the defense is basically taking out the opposing teams quarterback each week.

Offensively, you can not look any better.  Eli looks great.  After 2 early interceptions against the Cowboys, he came back to throw 4 touchdown passes.  They have 3 of the best young wide receivers in the game.  Hakeem Nicks is an absolute beast and can not be covered.  The running game is back.  Ahmad Bradshaw has been one of the best running backs in the league.  It seems like he has at least 2 or 3 huge runs a game.  The offensive line is back to playing at the high level they played at two years ago, and even Brandon Jacobs looks like he has finally woken up.

The defense has looked dominant at times.  They are beating up quarterbacks to the point where they are not coming back onto the field.  Osi and Tuck might be the two best defensive linemen in the league.  Michael Boley has quietly been playing like one of the best linebackers in the game.  He totally destroyed Tony Romo, breaking his shoulder blade.  The defense has a swagger that we have not scene in a while.  All the hype has been about the Jets defense, but the Giants d has been far superior.  They have the best pass rush in football and when you have that, you become incredibly hard to defeat. 

The biggest weakness they have right now is their special teams play.  Even during this 4 game win streak, they have continued to struggle.  They give up at least one big punt or kick return a game.  They gave up a 93 yard punt return to Dez Bryant in the Cowboy game.  If they do not correct their special teams problems, it will prevent them from being as good as they could be.      

It should be a very interesting football season in New York.  Both football teams sit on top of their divisions and have championship expectations.  Is a New York New York Super Bowl possible?  Maybe, but it is still early and the NFL changes each week.  For now, both teams look great and they will give the city an exciting season.
