Hey, Giant Fans. Welcome to the Giant Insider podcast. My name is Jerry Foley. I'm the senior editor of the Giant Insider newspaper. And with me, as always, as the beat writer, the heart of Giants Nation. Nobody beats the biz. Chris Bisignano. Well, dude, it's been what, four or five years since we've been doing this podcast, and we finally have our first playoff podcast. It's been, what, six years since the Giants have been in the playoffs. Giants Nation is going crazy right now.

They came out in the playoffs.

Giants Nation is going crazy right now. They came out with the video, the hype video,

Our Way. Yesterday, I mean, if you watched that and didn't get psyched, you're dead inside.

The enthusiasm in Giants world right now is palpable. It's awesome. It's a great feeling. I cannot wait to see this game Sunday to watch

this game and could not be happier with how this year's obviously transpired. But we are finally

here and we got who we wanted again, the Minnesota Vikings, bud. Yep. Yeah, I think everybody's

excited, man. The Giants feel confident.

You could just feel it in a locker room. These guys feel like they're going to go in and take care of business.

They're not intimidated by the first playoff game for many of these guys, especially Daniel.

And the way to, you know, I've been telling you this, man, you know, the feeling is that we could go into anywhere and win a game.

There's a confidence in this locker room that they could go in this game and beat these guys and get out of there and go into the divisional playoffs.

There's not a doubt of my mind.

Now, whether or not they execute that happens, that we'll find out starting 440, so Sunday afternoon.

But there's none of that, oh, we're playing with house money type feel.

Oh, we're happy to be here.

Nobody picked us, you know, to be here. So, well, let's go

have some fun. Whatever happens, happens. No, you know, the Giants have, they have the confidence,

man. They have the feeling of, well, wait a minute, wait a minute. Yeah, okay, that's nice. They

won 13 games. Well, we won nine. We deserve to be here. We're not playing
