I repeat: The Giants are really, really good ...
... despite the fact they're not getting props throughout the NFL community, if for no other reason than it's fashionable - and easy - to pick against the defending Super Bowl champions.
If you watched them for one quarter-plus last night against the Browns, you saw the kind of play that made them champions. Granted, it's only preseason, and the games don't count. But when you see the kind of concerted effort the Giants made, especially after last week's lackluster performance in Detroit, you can't minimize the performance.
The only thing that can set the Giants back in a meaningful way? The x-factor that every team faces: injuries. Here's my column from last night's game and how the injury factor is the one unknown that could very well determine how far the Giants go.

BG-
Agreed. Excellent article too.
I would like to point out how much the dings of last season helped. Guys down the depth chart got some playing time, so when injuries mounted, guys were already comfortable, see Michael Johnson last year and look at Hixon so far this year in particular.
