Well, I agree to an extent. BUT (which really means you should ignore my agreement)
Our team was considerably worse on offense, yet Kyle was able to draw up schemes which took advantage and put us in a position to win, and did it with a qb who was fairly one dimensional, and this OLine. We have apparently added a qb that has more than one dimension in a game, and kept our running game solid. So, we conceivably should do as well or better on offense.
Our defense was able to hold the Giants in check, and again, they have not really done much to upgrade, they simply are playing at a high level. It is reasonable to look at last year, and say that we seem to know how to scheme the defense to stop them, so it comes down to execution.
Ultimately, this is a new year, but I would say that knowing we beat them 2 times last year at the least keeps our team from thinking they are invincible (like when they beat us several years in a row), and with the new found belief that Griffin can bring us back or put us in a position to win any game, our team will be able to play with a full cup of confidence. That's what last year's games do.
(and besides Grossman can tell Griffin all week the secrets to beating them
)
