Agreed, no one saw them coming last year until it was too late.

But I disagree with that. LOTS of people not only think they can/will win but many EXPECT them to win. The difference is most Giants fans aren't yet as overconfident and arrogant as those of the cowgirls. Last year it was the annoying NE fans who we all had to put up with, now it's Dallas. The thing of it is they haven't even done anything yet that warrants that kind of arrogance. And when the cowgirls fail there are going to be lot of them ripe for ridicule.
I mean really, they can't expect to post "Cowboys will win, all other teams suck" over and over and then when they choke not expect some of us laughing and pointing at them. Can they? :D

I've been wondering when someone would make that point. The Giants don't seem to be a team of just a few stars, and when they lose one of them the whole team unravels. Rather they are a cohesive unit that is well-coached, which means they will have to lose a lot more than just a few marquee players in order to derail their season.
I don't know if they'll win it all but they do have a shot. Anyone who says otherwise is just fooling themselves.
