So, basically to summarize, you're saying we need to play good football and keep the opponent from playing good football?

I'd like to post my 3 Steps to Success for the Giants game - we'll revisit it on Sunday and see if I'm right:

1) Score more points than the Giants (this means we will win)
2) Keep the Giants from scoring more points than we score (this also would mean we win.)
3) Score more points than th...oh wait, we already covered that.

Nothing irks me more than "football experts" tips and prognostications that, when you actually think about them, mean jack. I'm all for intelligent discussion and debate on football, but we seriously have to move beyond the old locker room mantra of "we gotta stop their playmakers and score points ourselves." It's so friggin obvious that's what we have to do, it doesn't take analysis.

Oh, and while we're on the topic of cliche locker room and columnist BS, you can NOT give "110%." 100% is all you can give - it's all you have. You can't give 10% more than you have. If it feels like you're giving 110%, you clearly underestimated what you originally had to give.

Tell us how you really feel...
