The explanation is poor. The defense has been horrible all year--how aren't they the cause?
Then are all these other receivers in the league overrated? A lot of passing numbers were high. Cruz had two catches today; his ONLY postseason.
Your response makes no sense. You justified their numbers due to a poor rushing game. Fine. Then you go into blaming the defense, which has nothing to do with the poor running game. So which is it? Are they a good passing team because of the poor running game or as it because of the poor defense? Again, add in the fact that they essentially did nothing in the first 3 quarters of most games against non-playoff teams and there you have it.
The team's poor rushing and weak opponents makes their statistics overrated.
Completely overrated. They have an abnormal amount of receiving yards because their rushing game couldn't put up the numbers in the regular season. And much of that is in 4th quarter come backs where they basically did next to nothing for the first 3 quarters. Cruz is either focused or he isn't. He can't afford to drop passes in the post season. He currently is 4th in the league with 10+ drops/ The giants haven't beat anyone really impressive all year except the Pats--everyone else they have lost to.
The savior of this team is the D.
First off, who is rating either Nicks or Cruz as a top NFL receiver. They are both very good and they have the benefit of having, IMHO, the best passer in the game this year throwing it to them. No other top QB has had to carry their team the entire year like Eli has.
Your statement above is ridiculous. By your logic, Jimmy Graham is only successful because Brees throws the ball a ton. Megatron is over rated because Stafford throws it 45 times a game.
Reality is that it is more impressive that the Giants could not run the ball all year and still completed as many passes as they did. When defenses know that you can't run the ball, they key on pass rush and defending the pass.
Faulty logic. They went 9-7 in the regular season. If you count 7 losses as "didn't play" well...and then tack onto the fact that they've only beat 1 playoff worthy team during the season, essentially beating 8 'weak' teams with a running game that came in last in the NFL...then for two guys to get 1500+ yards passing is not impressive and definately overrated. Sorry.
Whatever..dont care anymore about the argument. You keep hating on the Giants and they'll just keep doing what they do best...win big games.
Who said anything about the entire passing game? I'm talking about Nicks and Cruz. Personally, as an opponent, I would always be more worried about Brandon Jacobs more than anyone else.

OK, it is obvious that you are trolling. Jacobs has been terrible all year. You are clueless.

B Jacobs? Why? He finally had a good game for once.. Are you sure you watch all Giant games?

I'm not hating, I think I just proved my point. Like I said, it's hard to predict. My only confidence is that the Giants have been here before. If I had to put the house on it...I'd go with Green Bay for the reasons that I've mentioned. The fact that Cruz and Nicks are overrated were just reference points. But like I said...Id be more worried about Jacobs than anyone on the offense. When he gets going...he is almost unstoppable.
