Final Thoughts

There is a lot of sentiment floating around after the Giants survived the 49ers, embarrassed themselves against the Eagles, and won a pug fuggly game against a Dallas team without Tony Romo and Dez Bryant, that the Giants don't deserve any kind of accolade.

And yeah, they haven't been pretty the last three weeks, or even conventionally good at all this year.

But, they are finding ways to win. They are, slowly, getting healthier, and right now they are the only team in the division over .500, and are a couple plays away from being 6-1 right now.

So call me a homer if you want, but before you do, take a look around the League. There is a LOT of bad football being played. We joke about the "NFC Least" but the AFC South might be worse than the NFC West was when the Seahawks won it with a 7-9 record in 2010.

The Giants might not be playing like a "Top 10" team, but they are winning, they are division leaders, and there are at least 20 teams that are either playing worse, have done less, or don't have as many reasons to be hopeful.
