Excerpt: "This Golden Age of Giants football has been built most notably and impressively on two overwhelming ingredients: huge plays in the passing game from Eli Manning and his receivers and a ferocious, relentless pass rush.
Neither asset has been great this season. The passing game has been compromised by nagging injuries that Hakeem Nicks cannot shake, but four Manning touchdown passes in a 52-point eruption against the Saints is a promising sign of things to come.

That should cause the Giants and their fans to take a deep gulp, because what was ballyhooed as the best defensive line in the NFL has not lived up to the hype, making this the Last Roundup for the Big Three."
