It was a little bit arrogance, a little bit defiance, and a lot of deflecting last week when Jerry Reese was asked about the obvious holes on the Giants roster and he responded by essentially pointing to the standings. He's right, of course. His Giants are in first place, and that officially makes them a playoff contender.
But what really matters is who sits atop their miserable division in the end, and whether the Giants can be good enough for the next month and a half to secure the playoff berth that has eluded them for so long.
