Well, I certainly don't think the Xmas-eve match-up will be a walk-over. It is 8 weeks away and that is an eternity in football. Today's win was great, a great atmosphere at the stadium, a great tribute to Wellington Mara, his granddaughter sang the national anthem. She is cute, looks like Nieve Campbell and the girl can sing, his other grandchildren were on the field with her. The Offense and defense looked like well-oiled machines today. Those of you who remember me from the old days know I am not want to savior victories for too long. I'll enjoy reading the papers tomorrow and talking about the game with my students, but by tomorrow afternoon I am thinking about San Francisco.
As for the skins, it's games like this that test the leadership and heart of a team. A good team looks at the films, gets disgusted, learns from it, and comes out hungry. A bad team feels sorry for themselves and continues to glow in the San Fran game. Either way, this could be a turning point for the club. They get back to work and put together a good season, or they completely go in the tank. As for blame, look at your lines. The Giants were only rushing 4 most of the day and still got to Brunnell and Ramsey, and Tiki cut through the D line like a hot knife through butter.
