Giants should be 3 &0, replacement refs missed 100 holding calls in the Dallas game

You know, when the game is over, you either won or you did not. As Parcels said: you are what your record says you are. Personally, I want the Giants to be more consistent, but we all want things which we may or not receive.

The Giants have a tough road ahead of them with a few great times. However, the tough teams that they are playing have been beaten by mediocer teams, like Philly beating Baltimore, the Vikings beating the 49ers, the Raiders beating the Stealers, the Seahawks beating the Packers and the Chiefs beating the Saints, everything the Saints are garbage this year. Anyway, If our G-Men cancome play like they have the last 5 quarters of football, Super Bowl Champs again. Go Big Blue!!
