Giants won when it mattered. Had they not squeaked by in the SB everyone wouldn't be talking as much about the huge need for a killer d-line. They'd be talking about the 18 near murders that the Patriots put on through the rest of the year. What the Pats did on offense all year greatly eclipses what the Giants front 4 did.

So to jump in here...but I firmly disagree. It doesn't matter what you do during the season, you HAVE to bring home the big one, or none of it matters. What the Giants did in the SB does indeed eclipse the offensive juggernaut that was the Patriots in 07. The Giants won when it mattered.

I too have to go 100% here with Jsarno...the Giants D-line did what no other defense did ALL SEASON! And that was get in Brady's face all game.

That being said...if we "somehow"...could get Taylor at the right price (aka not one that would break our bank as in the past) I'd be all for bringing him on-board. For the same reason that we're talking about...D-line!!! Let's pretend and be SUPER optimistic and say the Redskins go to the Super Bowl this year and face the Pats, assuming their offense is like last years, who here would feel confident with the D-line the way it is against the Pats as of right now???

I absolutely agree.
Although we'd have to take something an 8 mil salary too. Not so sure we need that. But if we could somehow restructure him, I'm all for it.

I don't know about that. Yes, NE's 07 offense was record breaking. But I'm sure if you asked Brady and Moss they'd probably throw those records away if they could've gotten the win over the Giants.
