Jason Pierre-Paul's Guarantee Could Spell Doom For The Giants

Jason Pierre-Paul has been the Giants best player all year, but now he's put a target on his back with a big fat guarantee.

Everything seemingly clicked on Sunday for the Giants. Their D-Line took a stroll down memory lane to 2007. Eli's 4th quarters are about a masterful as all of Quentin Tarantino's flicks. Victor Cruz and Hakeem Nicks are unstoppable. It reeked of 2007 after the clock ran out on Sunday's game. But, then the youngest, rowdiest, most unstoppable player on the Giants decided to let it all go to waste by running his mouth.

ESPN.Com-EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- The New York Giants' confidence continues to swell and Jason Pierre-Paul likes his chances of pulling off an upset in Lambeau next Sunday.

When asked how optimistic he is about the Giants beating the Green Bay Packers, the defensive end replied, "We're going to be all right."

"We gonna win ... we gonna win," Pierre-Paul later added.

Pierre-Paul is just expressing the confidence he and the Giants have after winning three consecutive must-win games with their 24-2 rout over Atlanta on Sunday in the Giants' wild-card game at MetLife Stadium.

"We know what's at stake, and we know it's one and done," Pierre-Paul said. "We aren't going to let that happen. We are going to go out there and give all our effort and we are going to walk away with a win."

With a few cocky words the Giants went from dark horse to top dog, and in most cases that's not a good thing. JPP's guarantee completely halts all the positive, but vitally quiet, energy that they've been building in the last few weeks. Now he's turned them into the New York Jets, guaranteeing everything in the world. You all know how that went for Rex and co and while you could argue it worked for them two years in a row, it's still not the Giants style and never will be.


Tom Coughlin probably lost his mind when he heard this. TC is about as classy as they come and I'm not sure he actually knows how to trash-talking even if he thought it was acceptable. I know that the Giants are riding sky high, but this is bad, bad news. I really was under the impression that the G-Men were all but ready to shock the world once again, but after spinning the attention on them, they've completely changed the vibe of these playoffs. The Giants are no longer the hunters, they are the hunted. Instead of using their cunning abilities to rob the bank, they just drove the getaway car through the bank. I repeat, this is terrible news for Giants fans, terrible.

Take this as a lesson Jason, you never guarantee wins unless you are already the favorite or if your Joe Namath, but I'm pretty sure I'm not going to see you drunkenly trying to kiss Suzy Kolber on a MNF interview. So no, you're not Joe Namath. If the G-Men go out there and lay a big fat egg, you can blame it on Mr. Pierre-Paul. JPP, we know you're good, but now shut your mouth and go have a 5-sack game, because lord knows you're probably going to need it.
