[QUOTE="cheesehurdler, post: 341086, member: 3981"] 2007-2008 New York Giants. What got them there? It didn't look like that from the start, starting 0-2 (one of those losses being a 35-14 Packers thrashing at home), but their tough defense and great pass rush, along with a brute rushing attack in Brandon Jacobs, did just enough to get into the playoffs, winning their next 6 games and going 10-6. Then, they developed an "us against the world" road-warrior mentality to get them into the SB. What happened in the SB? They upset the Patriots by dominating their offensive line and sacking the "invincible" Tom Brady 5 times, and rallying in the 4th quarter to ruin their perfect season, winning 17-14. Why didn't they return? Actually, they did well in the next season, going 12-4 and winning the NFC East division, but the pressure of a repeat of a Super Bowl season got to them and they lost to the Eagles 23-11. They had a forgettable 8-8 season in 2009, and suffered a meltdown after a good start in 2010. During that time Plaxico Burress was suspended and Michael Strahan retired. [/QUOTE]
