Then the second of the two Kyle Williams punt return fumbles in SF provided the NYG to enter into the SB to face a New England team with a last ranked defense that they came back to beat in the last moments of the game. Yeah, the Giants won SB 46 but then again a lucky team is not a good team. The 2011 NYG were the only Super Bowl champion in NFL history to be outscored by their opponents during the regular season. That's hardly a good team......

Funny thing is you just made the case for the Giants being a good team for me,Thank You.

No, I didn't. Not in the least. Their path to the Super Bowl trophy was paved with luck, 15-1 teams not showing up to play, and a poor defense not being good enough to defend in a game when it counted the most. This team was nothing at all like the 1986 Giants who ran over every opponent to get to the SB. The 2011 NYG were more like 1979 LA Rams.
