The Giants have a dynamic duo at running back, and our weakest area is run defense, especially if directed at our aged inside linebackers and strong safety. This could be a major problem during the SB if we don't jump out to an early lead and force the Giants to pass to catch up.
Strahan and Osi are beasts, and their pass rush is maybe the best in the entire league (while also being stout against the run)
Additionally, I have long thought Eli Manning is a pretty clutch performer, even in his second year he would have a clunker of a game but then in the 4th quarter turn it up and lead his team to victory.
To be honest, I am more scared of the Giants than I was of the Packers. Let's not forget, the G-Men led the Pats by 12 points deep in the 3rd quarter just a month ago.

I'd much prefer the NYG to the Packers, the Giants will have their moments but if we play well on offense they can't outscore us with a strong running game like the Packers maybe could have with a hot passing day.

We did not have 2 starting OL, and were missing our blocking TE. Aslo, they were geeked up for a game to knock us off from ranks of unbeaten. Despite all of that we won.
Relax. This is Brady time. Manning will be eaten up by the media focus. Its one thing to play in CG games, but SB is another level.

I don't get how you can say our run D is our biggest weakness, we've done a great job lately at shutting down some great power running teams, the Giants being one of them.
When we faced the Giants in week 17 we held Jacobs to 67 yards, and the Giants had 79 rushing yards total, 13 of those going to Manning.
Re: NY Giants' Running Game and Pass Rush Terrify Me
I should start off by saying I like the Giants. They are my NFC team purely out of convenience since we get all their games. But honestly, I think this rematch is going to be a lot easier than Week 17.
