Shoutout to My Cousin

I have a cousin named Andrew. I remember back in week 16 or 17 he and his family were over at my house for a Christmas dinner and we were talking about different teams' playoff chances. I knew that the Saints were pretty much done, and Andrew was telling me that the Giants were just about done too because they were probably just going to pull another one and out. I told him that the best teams were those that made the playoffs regularly. I talked a bit about how Coughlin should get an extension for regularly getting his team to the playoffs, instead of getting fired, and a lot of people should give Eli more chances since he's young and can still develop. The best teams are those that give themselves the most frequent chances to win. A team that blows everything on one run can easily be derailed by a key injury or a bad game. Teams that build themselves on solid players, committed to staying with the team and playing hard year in and year out produce frequent playoff runs. Although they may lose in the playoffs frequently, it makes the chance of actually advancing to the Super Bowl higher. You throw yourselves at a wall enough times and you'll eventually either break it down or fall to the other side. The Colts are exactly the same way. They went to the playoffs year in and year out, eventually getting the right breaks and winning the big game. Same for the 2000 Tampa Bay Buccaneers. 

So, to all you Giants fans out there, don't give up hope. Anything can happen.
