Their last year to become a dynasty would be next year. My guess is, it's NOT gonna happen folks.
During the regular season, coaches and players talk about the 24-hour rule -- the window allowed for celebrating a victory or dwelling on a loss before it's time to start moving forward.
It still applies to the Super Bowl champion New York Giants, at least in some regards. They'll have their parade, plenty of endorsements and quite some time to prepare for their next opponent, but already, oddsmakers have made them longer shots than the Green Bay Packers or New Orleans Saints to win Super Bowl XLVII.
Despite the Giants' fairly consistent run over the past few years, a quarterback in Eli Manning who is in his prime and a nice crew of wideouts, Philadelphia or Dallas probably will be the trendy pick to win the NFC East.
New York isn't viewed like the Packers, who, like the Giants, had to scratch and claw their way into the playoffs before winning the Super Bowl last February. Green Bay is a team in its prime that has the quarterback and other elements to fend off improving NFC North competition and all comers from around the league. The Giants, well, they were a team that got hot at the right time. At least that's what you'll hear. New York won't be treated the same as Green Bay, even though their respective quests to a title, personnel and head coaches are similar in terms of results, age and production.
