We had one of the best defensive teams in the NFL last year and this was WITHOUT Haynesworth and Orakpo. If the Giants win, it sure as hell won't be because they're marching up and down the field on us.

I have to disagree here. NY moved the ball on our defense pretty easily in both games. And if not for stupid playcalling and horrible INt's by Eli in that first game, the score could have easily gotten out of hand. I could see NY easily scoring 20 + on our defense. Hixon killed our seconday in that 2nd game. Let's see if the addition of Haynesworth and Orakpo makes a difference. You have to remember that NY has one of the best O-lines in the NFL and they're better in the trenches than we are.
