    giants

    By Max J. Dickstein

    Quick Thought: The Giants are a speeding locomotive

    The 2007 Giants were a sluggish, underpowered old train on an uphill climb when their season began in September with defenseless losses to Dallas and Green Bay.

    That Giants train crested a peak with the team’s commendable showing against the Patriots last month, gathered speed with playoff wins against Tampa Bay last week, and, after a 21-17 win at Dallas yesterday, is now screaming downhill toward Green Bay.

    With another expectation-surmounting win, this edition of Big Blue will clinch a rather unlikely Super Bowl berth.

    The increasingly praiseworthy Giants are on a roll, and it is a testament to the luck, passion and effort that is bundled up in the mystery of sport.

    “That’s a gut check right there,” Eli Manning said after a win that drastically redefined the tilt of the mild-mannered quarterback’s career. “No one’s given us much credit. They probably still won’t. And we like it that way.”
