The Bills might be 4-2 but their play could just have easily seen them 6-0 or 2-4. When they play good teams, it’s always close. Sure, they’ll blow your lower ranks out of the water, but the victor of a top-notch dual might as well be decided by the toss of a coin.
The Giants are slowly, steadily and subtly building a respectable body of work for the season. Going into the bye week, they too possess a 4-2 record and a half-game lead over the 3-2 Redskins who have suddenly found their Quarterback situation up in the air after Rex Grossman sent most of his passes the same way, resulting in a horrifying four INT 0 TD performance against Philadelphia.
In a week of headlines dominated by the other New York team – you know the ones? The ones in green who never shut up, god bless them – Manning and his Giants have earned a few more fans.
A Week 9 showdown against the patriots – the team the Giants beat to lift the Lombardi trophy at the end of the 2007 season – will test the mettle of this team and go some way to ascertaining whether it’s all smoke, or whether there really is a fire brewing in the bellies of the NFC East frontrunners.
