Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner

The New York Giants will be playing in Super Bowl XLII
Hang on I need to capitalize that....
THE NEW YORK GIANTS WILL BE PLAYING IN SUPER BOWL XLII
Sorry for shouting.
But how can a New Yorker not be ridiculously excited after a game that had every break go against the Giants, two missed field goals setting up a situation that seemed a perfect deja vu to the infamous Jay Feely Seahawks game, and win the NFC Championship in the 3rd coldest game in NFL history in Lambeau Field.
Wow.
There are a few things that must be pointed out from this game:
1. Blown offsides call on Kabeer Gbaja Bjamala
He clearly and obviously jumped so Eli just went down and waited for a flag that didn't come. Seriously I have to question the officiating crew here. Every person watching the game saw that offsides, and yet every offficial missed it. There needs to be some sort of penalty for refs in these kind of games. I don't want to see any of those guys out there for a championship game again.
2. Emergence of Corey Webster
In the playoffs, because of the injury to Sam Madison, Webster was forced to start. This, I feared was the Giants achilles heel. Instead in the playoffs, Webster has shut down, in order, Joey Galloway, Terrell Owens and Greg Jennings while grabbing two key interceptions. This is a guy who USA Today, in their last draft preview issue, called the worst Giants draft pick in the last three years.
3. Michael Johnson's Punch
With less than two minutes to go, R.W. McQuarters returns a punt into Packers territory and fumbles for the second time. A fellow on the Packers named Jarrett Bush has a clear shot at the ball. And with the coaches on the sidelines assumedly shouting "FALL ON IT!" he attempts to pick up the ball. If he gets it, the Packers would've had the ball at midfield with a kicker (Mason Crosby) who once hit a 70 yarder during practice in Colorado. Instead, Michael Johnson dove and punched the ball out of Bush's hands and it was recovered by Domenik Hixon. That's a play that would not have been made during the regular season. This has been a changed Giants team since Week 17. It's as simple as that.
4. The Drafting of the New York Giants
The most important aspect of the Giants improbable playoff run. This past draft yielded Aaaron Ross, who has solidified one of the starting cornerback slots (1st Round). Steve Smith, who has come up with catch after clutch catch in the postseason and has been a solid third receiver for Manning (2nd Round). Kevin Boss who has taken over as the starting tight end and hasn't missed a beat, he's caught everything thrown to him and been a solid blocker as well (5th Round). Ahmad Bradshaw, who has had the biggest impact with the Giants these last few weeks. He's been the lightning to Brandon Jacobs' thunder. Tiki who? (7th Round). Michael Johnson made the aforementioned game saving play, but has also filled in as the starting safety this year and helped shore up a weak secondary (7th Round). And that's just this year's draft! Has there ever been a draft with so many impact players for one team in their rookie year? I don't think so. And in recent years, the G-men have picked up Corey Webster (2nd Round '05), Justin Tuck (3rd Round '05), Brandon Jacobs (4th Round '05), Matthias Kiwanuka (1st Round '06) among others. This playoff run has been built on youth, and there is only one more hill to climb: Mount New England.
