They are hot, playing the best football right now. Not denying that

But any praise of the Giants you hear is amplified by 100x since your an Eagle. You're natural hate juices get flowing and you start calling everybody who does well frauds. Ive seen it before. Eagles fans are famous for it.

Then explain how you consider them fraudulent? Because they're a 9-7 team?

The best part is we had this exact same conversation weeks ago about the 49ers and look where they are.

But they just beat the Saints, the favorited Saints. Meaning the Saints were frauds, and when you beat a fraud, you are a fraud. And the NFL is full of frauds. There is only one-non-fraud a year apparently, and even they can be frauds as we were in 2007...apparently.

Because they are overachieving right now. They are not a top 5 team in the NFC in my opinion

Does this mean the Packers overachieved last year? Winning 3 on the road, last seed in the playoffs, upset the #1 seed in Atlanta, beat the Eagles at home, beat the Bears at home, and beat the Steelers at a neutral setting?

Yes to a point. Look at all the injuries they had going into the playoffs. Of course, they came back and had an amazing run in 2011, but in 2010 THEY were the 'hot' team. Even though they were the preseason favorite. They were still a better team than the 2011 Giants though

FWIW, Football Outsiders has the Giants ranked 12th in total team efficiency, and 6th in the NFC
