5. Useful exercise to forget the past and take advantage of the present

If the Giants only thought about the worst-case scenario from this point onward, then other positive possibilities would have less of a chance of coming true. If Beckham thought that he would be baited he would not play with all of his effort and most likely not attain the production in receiving yardage that he had last season of 1,450 yards.

The exception, oddly is Manning, whose body language under pressure situations indicates that he is constantly thinking of the past and worst case scenarios because of his pronounced “skittishness.”

Unless one is Manning, it is useful to forget about the past and set to work on removing the grime of the past three weeks that has built up on the Giants bid for the playoffs this season.
