Well I guess we're pretty good. In fact we're very good. What I like about this team is the grit and character that they play with. Steelers and their fans are already complaining that they were unlucky and they lost the game only because of that bad snap that gave Giants two points and allowed us to tie the game. That was the momentum turner and it gave the Giants great field position that they could utilize to drive for the winning TD, or so say the Steeler supporters. I claim that if that had happened to the Giants, they would have recovered and survived. I'm not saying they surely would've won, but would not have crumbled like the Steelers apparently did. Here's my proof: I can think of no greater momentum changer and emotion charger than a rousing goal line stand. I remember the 1990 Giants-Bears playoff game. Bears had 4th and goal on Giants 1 and Ditka decided to go for it. Giants (John Washington) stopped the Bears FB, Bears never recovered and Giants crushed them 31-3. That goal line stop was the game changer.
What happened in this game? Steelers made amazing goal line stand, stopping Jacobs on two consecutive plays, with a little help from the replay, in the first half. That should have given the Steelers enough momentum to win the game. Not only did they not win, but Giants were ahead by half time. Giants have lots of grit and character.
