IGotWorms 3,317 Posted January 21, 2008 I do know, giants dont stand a chance. Terrible superbowl, i wont go out for it, and i will have it off by halftime. You're an idiot. The Giants have been playing extremely well--they have peaked at exactly the right time. That is what championship teams do. And, as another poster mentioned, they nearly beat a very hungry Pats team in week 17. I wouldn't count the Giants out at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robertd52 0 Posted January 21, 2008 Yea, I never understand people who watch a team beat another and then say that one of the teams they beat should be playing in the super bowl to make it a good game. If Dallas shoulda been in the super bowl, then they would have been. Same with Indy, same with GB. This isnt college where those teams got beat 3 months ago and are still being punished for it, NY beat everyone they had to beat and they have earned their chance. Sure, I still think that NE is gonna win, but I wouldnt be blown away if NY did, especially with how they played them in week 17. If anything, that is gonna make the Giants even MORE likely to pull an upset...they KNOW they can play with the Pats, and they know if they did just a little deeper they may have won that game. Trust me, the pats gave them EVERYTHING they had week 17 to get to 16-0, that game was as big as a super bowl to them.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RoadLizard 73 Posted January 21, 2008 I do know, giants dont stand a chance. Terrible superbowl, i wont go out for it, and i will have it off by halftime. You're right on. Fokcing waste of time. Even if the Giants play great they will never beat the Cheaptriots because something lame will happen like it always does and The Lametriots will be handed YET another win. Its not worth anyones time, except for the drinking and food. Dont bother watching the game..... it will just sicken you like today did most of the country that saw a 100% HORRIFIC performance by The Pats still get them a win. Its like trying to fist-fight Jesus....you cant win , no matter what. Whos ready for the 2008 fantasy season? I sure am! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Barnaby Wilde 0 Posted January 21, 2008 Anyone who thinks the Giants don't stand a chance has not watched them play the last month. They played New England tough, then won three straight road playoff games, not an easy feat. I say bring on the Pats! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Giants Fan 85 Posted January 21, 2008 Not even gonna bother responding to a lot of this. Honestly, I think the Giants have (had) the best chance to WIN, IF ... they pulled off what they did. On the other hand, if the Cowboys and T.O. was just destroying everyone .... I might say Dallas looks tough. But T.O. is crying in his popcorn! Giants look like they are ready to play anybody!

Justy2 0 Posted January 21, 2008 First off, congrats to the Giants for pulling it off. Nobody thought it would be you. It was either going to be the Packers or the Cowboys and look how that ended up. However, it is time to come back to reality. In week 17 the Giants played a great game while the Patriots were not at their best and the result was a Patriot win. Now are you not only giving the Patriots prep time, but the benefit of having just played you. Don't expect the same team you saw in week 17, the game where you had the shot to beat them. The Super Bowl is a whole new animal. That 19-0 is bulletin board material now. It's finally on the line and the Pats know that the whole season will mean nothing if they don't go out and punk Cinderella. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's finally on the line and the Pats know that the whole season will mean nothing if they don't go out and punk Cinderella. Exactly! Who is the pressure on in this game? The Giants? I don't think so. They were not even supposed to be here. The Pats? They are the team with EVERYTHING riding on this game. 19-0. Best team ever. All that crap. The Giants can learn from what San Diego did, and put a game plan together to stop the Patriots. Their defense is playing very good football right now. It can be done. Not saying it will be an easy task, since no one has done it yet this year, but it CAN happen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's finally on the line and the Pats know that the whole season will mean nothing if they don't go out and punk Cinderella. I love this kind of attitude from Pats fans and the media. It's as if the Giants are going to just not do anything in the next couple of weeks, throw out the same game plan they did in week 17, and hope everything will go to plan. It's only about the Patriots and what they choose to do with this game. Won't it seem a bit odd if they lost? Does that mean BB game planned a loss in the SB? Oh that clever Belichick, what will he think of next? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CookieG 4 Posted January 21, 2008 As a Giant fan, I have to say it's like playing with house money.. thrilled just to be there.. but this team knows they can stay on the same field with the Pats. To actually pull it off.. it has to be a near mistake free performance. I think as an older team who has gone undefeated.. and even with a one week bye, the Pats looked a little groung down.. they will be recharged and full of swagger and confidence in the SB. They do have a chance.. and all aspects of their team are playing well right now. I just hope it doesn't come down to a 35 yard Tynes attempt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just hope they play a good game and have a chance. They should be loose...they really got nothing to lose and NE has everything to lose. Either way, it sets up as a nice matchup, IMO, coming off the week 17 game between these two teams a few weeks ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cbfalcon 824 Posted January 21, 2008 10 straight road wins (including playoffs). Guess which team has that record? 10-1 (10 in a row) is a good road record no doubt....8-0 (8 in a row obviously) is ok as well. Or...Last 2 seasons on the road. Pats: 16-2 Giants: 15-5 Just sayin...

R8RMick 242 Posted January 21, 2008 Not even gonna bother responding to a lot of this. Honestly, I think the Giants have (had) the best chance to WIN, IF ... they pulled off what they did. On the other hand, if the Cowboys and T.O. was just destroying everyone .... I might say Dallas looks tough. But T.O. is crying in his popcorn! Giants look like they are ready to play anybody! If I'm a fan of the G-men, I want to play this game next week, or maybe even tomorrow. The two week break is going to hurt more than help, injuries aside. A bright spot is Plexi-glass stepping up huge last night. Vincent Jackson showed how the Patriot's DB's can be had by recievers with some size. Obviously, New York needs to crank up that running game and keep Brady off the field. This I think they can do, as their O-line is playing well. Can Jacobs be relied upon to become a beast in just this one game? Defensively, it's ALWAYS an advantage when a front four can bring good pressure without blitz help. G-men have a shot here as well. I'm not buying into the "pressure's on the Pats angle..." That's a veteran team, they'll make mistakes but won't hand the game away via turnovers. Having said all that, I predict the key to the game will be how the New York football Giants perform from the 10-15 yard red zone range. The Bolts kept putting up FG's instead of TD's. Against the Chowds that ain't gonna cut it. If their special teams return guys keep up their great play, that'll help. Man, that would suck to go 18 and 1, and DONE... I liked the 'house money' angle. Real loose, does Coughlin need to keep them. As Yoda would say... BTW, LOVED how Coughlin burned that last time-out in regulation. I'm a fan of keeping seconds on the clock using your TO's, and letting the offense control the clock with the extra time you give them. I hope Wade Phillips was watching that one... I guess Tynes was lucky he didn't have to fly his family out to Madison to live with him, if he'd missed that kick in OT... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dan 59 Posted February 4, 2008 Does yesterday's win count as a "road" win (since it was on a neutral site) and therfore extend their record? The "experts" are saying so, although they concede that it is a technical road game. I think the crowd favored the Pats, but not overwhelmingly so. But statistically, yes, because they were the "away" team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
