To Win Or Not To Win

When the NY Giants host the New England
Patriots Sunday night it probably may turn
out to be the worst the NFL has to offer.
The Giants have clinched a playoff spot and
have nothing to gain other than a spot in history
if they knock off the 15-0 Pats. This school of
though here is this; if they try hard and get a
key injury, then they jeopardise a possible
Super Bowl run, and if they lose in the process
it looks even worse. Even if they win many say
no one will care, but I say that this is being said
only because no one believes that they really have
a chance to win this game, NOT because no one
will care. I assure you that if the Giants pull this
off, it will be BIG, and it will be be big if for no other
reason than the fact the the Pats and Bill Belicheck
WANT it, otherwise they wouldn't be risking their
own Super Bowl run, which incidentally has more
legs than the Giants does, and that goes without
saying. I hope the Giants do give this their all,
because they do not have a strong chance at winning
it all, and this may be the closest they get to saying
they beat the eventual Super Bowl Champs. They
will also be the team that stands out in years to come
when this ALMOST perfect season is looked back on,
and no one can say that the only reason they won is
because the Pats where being cautious not to injure
key players. It's obvious they want this, so why not
make them earn it. Keep in mind that if they suffer
a key injury and these two meet in the championship,
then it will be to the Giants advantage the Pats egos
where to big to let up on what is a fairly meaningless
stat unless you win the whole thing, and until that is
done, the Dolphins still sit on top of the perch.
