First they come back from 31-10 in the 4th quarter to beat the Giants- That was like having the crap beaten out of you, but you are still breathing.
Last night when the Giants needed the Eagles to win, they lost to the Vikings at home. This just proves that you can never depend on a division rival to help you out. The Eagles executed them Jack Bauer style.
The Giants needed the Eagles to win because it would force the Bears to play hard against the Packers on Sunday. If the Bears beat the Packers, they would be the 2nd seed in the playoffs and get a first round bye. The Giants would then make the playoffs if they beat the Redskins. If the Packers beat the Bears, they are in the playoffs, regardless of what the Giants do against Washington. The Bears now have nothing to play for because they are almost guaranteed to be the 2 seed. I would be shocked if the Packers do not easily win the game, leaving the Giants on outside looking in.
The Giants have themselves to blame for not making the playoffs. They blew a 21 point 4th quarter lead and got destroyed by the Packers last week. Their collapse is almost Met-like. It will be interesting to see the fall out from it.
