Talk:Did the Giants really "win" a game this year?/@comment-G-unit-2006021770724

I agree that the Giants had an easy schedule with all injuries accounted for. However, your analysis addresses only offensive injuries to other teams. The Giants had many injuries on defense. Staying healthy is a huge factor in winning in the NFL these days, and the Giants got 11 wins without ever having a first string set of linebackers or DBs on the field. Two games you failed to mention were the week 13 and week 15 poundings of the Cowboys and Chiefs, respectively. Both of those teams came into those games with a ton of momentum and got spamked by the Giants&quot; patchwork defense and bumbling offensive line. The Giants changed the look of the AFC east and NFC west with those games. Did the Giants "win" 11, probably not. But they did win some tough games. They did get embarrassed by the Panthers (aka Steve Smith and 21 anonymous teal-wearing men who are obviously comfortable with their masculinity).
