The Giants won a game today against the Chicago Bears that they had no business winning. For 3 quarters, Eli Manning played like absolute garbage. Derrick Ward coughed up the ball a bunch of times. It was a complete nightmare that I almost turned off. But through it all the Giants' solid defense keep the team's anemic offense in the game against the mediocre Bears.
Then in the fourth quarter, the Giants went to the no-huddle offense and like he did last year, Eli stepped it up. In the no-huddle offense - which during the past two seasons Eli has run with ease - Manning led the Giants on two late scoring drives to lead the team to a 21-16 win over the Bears.
Things would have been rough in New York this week on the team and definitely on Eli if they hadn't won. Hopefully the Giants coaching staff will lighten up and start running the no huddle offense in future weeks as for some reason it's something that Eli runs particularly well.
As I said at the beginning, this was absolutely positively a game that the Giants should have not won. And one that I was still planning to blog on if they had lost. ... But they didn't lose and at 8-4 the team finds itself with a 2 game lead in the Wild Card race.

The worst 8-4 team in NFL history. Giants are a by-product of the sorry NFC. By the way, how come you only write articles when they win? As I mentioned before, when they got drubbed by the Vikings, I didn't hear shite (Irish)! Holla me boy!
