First of all, after being pretty annoyed and disgusted with the team throughout the game and even a little after, I settled down.
We won an ugly game and basically had A LOT of beneficial calls from officials and sheer poor play by the Jets. We didn't play well - we had no business winning that game... but we did anyways. However, in the NFL it's all about timing - if we end up winning 4 of our last 5, we're probably playing some good football and we will be streaking at the right time.
No one thought either of those Giants teams were good enough to pull either of those Superbowls out, but we just need to be clicking on all cyclinders by week 15, 16, 17 and 18. Then you never know.
So while I'm not sold on this team anymore tonight than after the Broncos game, all it takes is a solid win against a good Ravens team and then everyone will have forgotten about our poor-play-but-still-win performance against the Jets and think we are peaking at the right time.
So don't get too caught up in how we won tonight, just be happy we did.
