''I don't think we played up to our potential at all,'' whined the New York Football Giants

Oh, bullshit. The New York Football Giants played well above their potential last year when they lucked their way into a Super Bowl. 

Last night’s game? The one which they didn’t get blown out by a decent Dallas team but couldn’t win? That’s NYFG’s potential. 

Before being crowned champions last year, they were 9-7. Nine wins, seven losses. Not bad, not great. 

I’m kind of hating these wildcard slots. Seasons become meaningless when the 2010 Seattle Seahawks can be in contention at 7-9 and get a shot at an 11-5 Saints team.

What a waste of time. As was watching a 9-7 football team that suddenly went on a six-game win streak go on to win the Super Bowl.
