Can the Media stop Overrating the Giants

I think it is now beyond ridiculous to see that the media still over rates the New York Giants every year.  Yes, they show glimpses of solid football play, but they have shown us just that and nothing more.  We need only look at their schedule thus far to prove my point.

They started out 6-2 and beat the following teams:  St. Louis(2-9), Philly (4-7), Miami (3-8), Buffalo (5-6), Arizona (4-7) and New England (8-3).  They lost to the 49ers, Philly, Saints, Seahawks and the Redskins.  So out of this, we see what we see every week in the NFL, that any team can beat anybody on any Sunday.  I don't see a team that is dominant by any means.  I have went over the New England game and the horrible time management by the Patriots that shouldn't have allowed the Giants a chance to win.  The only convincing wins were over St. Louis and Philly, which has just played terribly as a team, but I would consider them more talented and somebody that could beat anybody in this league.

The New York Giants are a slightly above average team that is always hot out the gate due to an easier schedule and then starts to wane when the schedule gets a bit tougher.  The NFC East has the NFC West and the AFC East this year, which are not what you would call the toughest divisions either.  The Patriots are good, but are a beatable team as are the Jets.  The Bills and Dolphins are spirited but very beatable as well.  The AFC West should have been at the minimum a 3-1, if not a 4-0 record for all NFC East teams besides the Redskins.  The 49ers are good, but not unbeatable good and could be beat by all of the NFC East except for the Redskins.

That is my rant on the constant over rating of the New York Giants.  Tom Coughlin is a good but not great coach as well.  The guy is on the chopping block just about every year including the year they won the Super Bowl, which they were saved by defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo, who could be on the chopping block as well, and very good play by Eli Manning.  So spare me how great he is, when they constantly want to fire him after every loss and claim how great he is when he beats a few cream puffs to start a season.  That is New York I guess!
