-So what to say on a pretty quiet Tuesday here in NYC? Not much other than lots of talk about the Giants’ big win in Big D last night to move into first place in the NFC East- a half game better than the Eagles and one up on the reeling Cowboys. Credit must go out to Coach Tom Coughlin for how well his team has bounced back since that debacle in Seattle to fall to 1-2 before their bye week. Since then, Big Blue has rattled off three straight in impressive fashion over Washington, Atlanta and Dallas. Now, 4-2 and a perfect 3-0 in their division, they have a chance to seize control. With home games coming up against Tampa Bay and Houston before a primetime showdown against the Bears, this is their opportunity to make it five in a row heading into that big match-up. As Coughlin indicated to WFAN’s Mike and The Mad Dog earlier today, they can’t take their next two opponents lightly. Especially with the Bucs having gotten a huge lift from ex-Giant kicker Matt Bryant with that remarkable 62-yard field goal to shock the Eagles and send them to their second consecutive victory. Coughlin’s club must prepare well during practice and focus on the task at hand. If they do, things should be okay next Sunday.
-Speaking of that dramatic Bryant kick, you should’ve heard the exciting play-by-play call by the Tampa radio announcing team. Entertaining to put it mildly:

How could they not sound a tad over the top after something like that? That’s what makes sports great.
