Pierce is the linchpin of the Giants' defense. Without Pierce, I fully expect the Giants to get run over this Saturday by Larry Johnson and the Chiefs.

I also expect next week's Redskins-Giants matchup in D.C. to be a close one. In my opinion, if we win this Sunday, we have a damn good chance to go 3-0 the rest of the way and squeak into the playoffs.

If we go 3-0 the rest of the way, we won't "squeak" into the playoffs...We'll win the division and may even get a 1st round bye.
