I still think Seattle wins that game by virtue of a much superior defense. Branch should help them by then too.

Its just been in general the last few years...the Giants can do little wrong. Their rivalries, and, being basically on par with the Eagles, Cowboys, and Redskins have something to do with it, and although all those divison games are big draws for eastern TV, the Giants seem to get more credit and press (outside of Owens on the Eagles and Cowboys) then any of those other teams in that division.
That said, today, their comeback was more about the Eagles handing the game to them, then them winning. Nevermind the turnovers in the 4th, and the poor defense after hemming in the Giants on thier own 20 with under a minute, the lineman kicking the Giants lineman turns a 50+yd FG attempt to just over 35 yd attempt.
Back to Seattle...2 Sundays nights from now, the Bears/Seahawks should be a dandy. I was hoping the Seahawks to play the Bears in the NFC Championship game (I thought they had a better chance of beating them then the Panthers), but now, with the Bears offense seeming to be an actual legitimate going concern, it will be a pretty good matchup.
