Well, they’re still in it. It took a long, drawn-out Thursday night struggle against Washington to keep the Giants’ season alive, but they pulled it out. And it’s these types of games, no matter how ugly–and Thursday night games are not the prettiest–that could be the difference in the Giants making the postseason.
Of course, the Giants needed that win to get their season going really, to keep their season alive. It’s important to remember Big Blue’s been right in every game they’ve played, and while losses are losses there is something to be said for their competitiveness.
