It only mattered when, not where

I trust everyone is breathing normally again?
Really, the Giants didn’t seem too concerned about wrapping up the No. 1 seed. They just wanted the week off, and that was secured when Minnesota lost.
“I guess we have to see,” Eli Manning said in respond to a question about gaining home field. “I didn’t think it was going to be the end of the workd if we didn’t have it. It’s great for our fans. You never know what the weather’s going to be like. We’re used to playing in these cold games, these windy games. I think we had the advantage in some of those, so I think it should be fun.”
The week off, though, was critical.
“Huge,” Justin Tuck said. “That’s basically why we wanted this first round bye. Other than that we don’t care about the seeding. For us we don’t really care where we play as long as we get an opportunity to play but the first round bye gives us an opportunity to get some guys rested and get some guys in the training room and back to 100%. That’s huge for us to be able to make this run.”

Go Giants! I still need a strong drink.
No drinks and I’m still recovery!!!
From the second quarter to the end of the game, they looked like the team that won the super bowl
