Eastern Members - NY Giants

New York Giants NFC champs come on only one more win for the superbowl

GO GIANTS!!! If they win in two weeks I will lose my mind. Plaxico was huge tonight and hopefully Eli continues keeping the interceptions to a minimum.

PUHleeezz you guys don't stand a chance, wanted to see brett farve. Giants do deserve to be there though, great game.

I would NOT say they don't have a chance. If any team played well this year again the PATS it was the Giants. Not a huge Giants fan, but I think they have had a great year, and played VERY well against the Pats

i agree with 02 camaro ss, and you also cant forget how good the giants played againts the pats about 3 weeks ago

GO GIANTS............:headbang:

they have as much chance as a fart in the wind at beating NE.

Go Giants!!! Besides Indy nobody has played the patriots better this year, especially any team from the NFC.

while i agree they played well against the pats in the reg season, the superbowl is an entirely different game all together...little manning is gonna crack under the pressure, and mr. cool as a cucumber tom brady will come away with the big win ONCE AGAIN. should be a fun game to watch!

i agree with phirepower...we all know whos gonna win

Go Giants!!! Besides Indy nobody has played the patriots better this year, especially any team from the NFC.
the Eagles and the Ravens played them just as well if not better than the giants did. Eagles lost by a field goal and the Ravens had some "questionable" calls go against them.

this is the Superbowl...not a reguler season game...Patriots will come to play and are gonna play hard....their perfect season is within sight!!

Now thats funny Rick

this is the Superbowl...not a reguler season game...Patriots will come to play and are gonna play hard....their perfect season is within sight!![/QUOTE]

So you mean to tell me that the patriots didn't come to play in that game. A game which meant a perfect regular season for them. If that game didn't mean anything to them then you wouldn't of seen all of there starters (especially brady) come back to play in the second half of that game.

As for the superbowl the Giants are going to be atleast a 10 point underdog and given absolutely no chance to win. Which should put alot more pressure on the pats especially after having a perfect season up to this point.

tom brady feels no pressure...its manning that has the pressure on him...even if they giants could rally against the pats, paytons little brother will have the world on his shoulders for the next 2 weeks. He'll be throwing up like donavan! ROFL

GO PATS!

Little Manning needs some more schoolin before he wins the big show. It will be a good game. I think it will come down to experience. Even though im a die hard Pats fan, Im glad to see a different Manning get a win. Payton needs to stop making those stupid commercials.

Tom Brady is all about wanting to be better. Even with a perfect regular season under his belt he is not happy with it. He IS the best QB ever and he is proving that. Even if the Giants pull the win.

hey now...easy with the Donovan comments...:jest:

i agree with the above statement...Tom Brady is as kool as they come....the guy doesnt panic. even being down 10 points in the 4th quarter to the Colts...didnt even flinch. Eli will have the same dazed and confuzed look on his face he allways has, only this time he'll be surrounded by hundreds of reporters. its gonna be fun watchin it all unfold.:chug:

Giants will dominate the defense and win by 3 points!

Giants will dominate the defense and win by 3 points!
whatever your smokin, pass it over...i want it. :D

Warm weather = domination for the Pats.

The Patriots have slowed down over the last 6 weeks... mainly because of the cold weather. When Brady and the O have warm weather (can grip the ball, catch the ball easier...) it will be all over.

I was at the Giants game and not once in the game was I worried. There is a reason the Pats are the best team in football (#1 offense in scoring with #5 defense in points against). NO team has played the full 60 minutes against the Pats to beat them. I dont expect anything different in this superbowl.

Props to the Giants for beating up on the best teams in the NFC!! They showed alot IMO, and Eli has played great. Lets remember though... they play the best team ever in this Superbowl. They have a big mountain to climb to beat the Pats... there only chance is if Brady gets hurt IMO.

long time giants fan here...iam cstatic that they are in the superbowl , but my superbowl winfor the year was them beating the cowboys

The giants played their best against the patriots last time they met. the patriots toyed with them and won anyway. now with the big prize on the line the pats will bring their A game. 42 - 17 pats win. Eli will struggle most young qbs do in their first super bowl.

BTW, I went to the Pats/Giants game, met some cool Giants fan down there!

No one was toying with anyone that game...

Pats have a great team. Probably the best in history. I think the G-men have a chance. I think most of the football world counted them out in Dallas. I heard a lot of talk about Eli choking in bad/cold weather.
To have a chance, you got to at least, make it to the big game. Well, they are there. We shall see

i think it'll be a little closer than that with the same outcome. luckily theres no weather to worry about cause its gonna be nice and sunny in Arizona so thats gonna play to NE's strength...the pass!!

As a life long Giants fan, I admit that it's going to be tough to beat the Patriots. Just like the saying goes, Offense wins games, defense wins championships and I think the Giants have the better defense going into the game.

I just heard at lunch that Tom Brady has been spotted with a cast on his foot, so who knows what that's about.

QUOTE: Ah, you know, there's always bumps and bruises. I'll be ready for the Super Bowl," Brady said Monday during his weekly radio appearance on WEEI - before the photo and video emerged - when asked if his leg was injured. "I'm not worried about that. I'm not missing this one. I'd have to be on a stretcher to miss this one. There will be treatment this week. In games like this, you get a little nicked up. It's nothing serious."

So who knows what that means. Eli is playing better, making fewer mistakes than normal, so that at least gives his team a chance to win.

My prediction, 24-27 Patriots winning.

Patriots have the better offense and defense during the regular season:

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/statistics?stat=team&sort=ppg&pos=def&league=nfl&qual=true&season=2&year=2007

During the playoffs (with the Giants playing one extra game) have an edge in defensive yards allowed while the Pats gave up less points a game

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/statistics?stat=team&sort=ppg&pos=def&league=nfl&season=3&year=2007

It will come down to whether the Patriots make enough mistakes for the Giants to have a chance. If Brady throws 3 picks against the Giants... Pats will be in trouble.

The giants played their best against the patriots last time they met. the patriots toyed with them and won anyway. now with the big prize on the line the pats will bring their A game. 42 - 17 pats win. Eli will struggle most young qbs do in their first super bowl.

are you crazy eli is playing his best football and tom is coming off his worst 3 ints come on now it is going to be alot closer than that it is going to be giants i am hoping.

Eli is playing great for him... no question. The key is nobody is getting any pressure on him.

Brady will throw 375+ yards in the superbowl... 4 TDs. It was extremely cold + windy hence the interceptions for Brady against the chargers.

I don't think the game will be a cake walk.... Giants will keep the game tight in the 1st half... then the Pats will break it open in the 2nd half. Despite the Pats history of 3 point wins in the superbowl, I predict something like 38 to 21 Pats win 4th in 7 years. Thats just my prediction.

Got a call from my dad about 2 hrs ago... we got 6 tickets to big game... see you guys in Arizona!

Jon

Boss - Pats fan
Shipping Manager - Giants fan

Just saw my boss and shipping manager make a bet (each for their team) that whoever loses has to go out and buy the Superbowl Champs shirt for the other team and wear it at work for a week. I was the witness and will be quite happy either way, although I absolutely do NOT want the Pats to win. I'm indifferent about the Giants, but if it means stopping the Pats one game short of a perfect season, I'm in.

Its funny, you know a team is elite when fans hate them just because they dont want to see them win again :D They are like the Yankees, like the steelers of the 70's, like the cowboys of the early 90's in regards to be hated.

Eli is playing great for him... no question. The key is nobody is getting any pressure on him.

eli was in colder weather and till played alot better than brady idk i dont think e will pass for 4tds and 375 yds at all. i dont think the pats are going to be able to stop the running game of brandon jacobs or amound bradsaw i think togather they will rush for 170 yarrds with 3tds and i think eli will pass 2 to plaxico idk i think giants are playin better than thhe pats lately everyone is performing eli,plaxico,jacobs,bradshaw,smith,and the defence,strahan,osi,webster,tuck, idk LETS GO GIANTS

Heres something for you pats fans to think about. I remember a few years ago when they went to the superbowl and faced the rams(the greatest show on turf). They were 2 touchdown underdogs and given absolutely no chance to win. We all know who won that game and it was the start of the patrots dynasty. It just goes to show that anything can happen on any given day.

are you crazy eli is playing his best football and tom is coming off his worst 3 ints come on now it is going to be alot closer than that it is going to be giants i am hoping.


your correct and that is why i think the pats win, Brady wont have another 3 int game, the giants D is not as talented in the secondary as San Diego. Eli is playing well but he will come back to reality when the Pats line up Super Sunday. im not a pats fan im actually a Broncos fan. we won our super bowl against the packers when we were 14 pt underdogs. yes the giants can do it, i just dont think they will.

Anything can happen for sure... but there is one major difference you arent mentioning. The Pats #4 (or #5) defensive ranking in the NFL this year and #1 in offense. The Rams were # 1 in offense, but there defense stunk. also, the Pats secondary dominated the Rams... the Giants dont have a great secondary.

The key for the giants is Plexico vs Hobbs in the secondary. Plexico got the best of Hobbs in the first meeting... hence the great day Manning had (with all day to throw).

Anything can happen... I just dont think the Giants will have enough bullets to take care of business.

i dont think the pats are going to be able to stop the running game of brandon jacobs or amound bradsaw

Been there and done that already this year. Not worried about the running game at all.

i think giants are playin better than thhe pats lately

Nobody is playing better than the Pats lately... sorry, but 18-0 tells me the Pats are playing better than everyone at anytime this year... even now (depsite what people may think are mediocre performances for the Pats). Even when Brady has an off game, the team is so good that the game was still won.

everyone is performing eli,plaxico,jacobs,bradshaw,smith,and the defence,strahan,osi,webster,tuck, idk LETS GO GIANTS

Yes, they are all playing great.

Brady wearing some kind of foot cast sounds like Belicheck B.S. That's been tried before (Ask TO) Brady is probably due for a good game. NE's defense held the Chargers when they needed to inside the red zone. I think the G-men's secondary is playing great. They leave the middle of the field open too much, but they have been picking off the ball at very important moments. I think the Giants have a good shot at the upset. I am a Giant fan so maybe I'm a lttle biased.

Brady wearing some kind of foot cast sounds like Belicheck B.S.

I could actually see him limping on the field in the 4th quarter against SD. I think he is just being overly cautious by wearing the air cast for a few days... nothing to do with the coach IMO.

Ever wear an air cast? They are very comfortable! :D

the superbowl should def be a good game, look at the last time they played each other, one of the best games i have seen in a while, i do feel bad for brett though, especially the way he went out, throwing an interception

Brady has been listed on the injury report every single week for the past 3 years with a shoulder problem....must not be hurtin too bad if you ask me..:jest:

Is the line still 13 1/2? I thought the air cast might be a ploy to lower the line. I would expect Brady to play regardless of any injury.

I'm going to guess it'll be a close game but the patriots win. My guess is the offensive play calling will be much different this game than it was against the giants at the end of the regular season. I was disappointed at the end of the patriot's regular season with the offensive play calling. I had the impression the team got a little fixated on throwing the ball deep while trying to get Brady and Moss thier records. A few of the deep throws seemed to be forced rather than being willing to take what the other team was willing to give them.

Where as in the playoffs the team has been willing to take what another team is willing to give up. Jacksonville would be a good example where they decided to take moss away and the deep ball threat away so the team was content to run and throw check down passes. The chargers again took moss away and the running game and dump passes to Faulk were available.

I'm not saying a team shouldn't try to take Moss out of the N.E. game plan but in doing so often other players or spots in the zone are left open.

Take it easy
Brewski

it's going to be a good game I think...close.

I dunno, both teams have a big star receiver (plexico and moss). Both teams have good defense. It will be key to see who gets to the QB on defense, and who establishes the run on offense.

I predict the G-men by a field goal.

brady has been on the injury reort for the last 79 games, i believe, atleast according to sportscenter, Def. do not count him out

I agree. Close game. If the Giants D line can get to Brady with just the front 4 it will be a long game for him.
If not, he'll probably light up the scoreboard.

That should have never happened. The Rams were absolutely amazing that season. It was like they just gave up in the second half and no one knows why.

On the contrary, they were punched in the mouth in the first half. They scored twice in the 4th quarter to tie the game... the second half was there better half. Goes to show you, 99% of the time you need balance to win a superbowl... Rams had a mediocre defense at best.

The giants played their best against the patriots last time they met. the patriots toyed with them and won anyway. now with the big prize on the line the pats will bring their A game. 42 - 17 pats win. Eli will struggle most young qbs do in their first super bowl.

they did not toy them at all think about what you are sayin i think we watched 2 diffrent games and no way it will be 42-17 i think it will be 21 -24 giants

does anyone agree with him thhe pats toyed with the giants thats not what i saw

The Pats did not toy with anyone this season. You really think their coach said "hey, lets keep this close and have fun"? Belicheck comes to destroy his opposition every game. I can't believe you can "toy" with any team.
If they toyed with the Giants, what did the Pats do against the Ravens, Colts, or Philly? Those were very close games. Some would say the Ravens has some calls that didn't go their way, but what can you do?

does anyone agree with him thhe pats toyed with the giants thats not what i saw


regardless of what your rose colored glasses saw. the giants came out to play that night they gave their best shot. the pats didnt play as well as they could have, and when they were down by 12 they just shifted gears put up 17 points and won the game. to me thats toying with a team. scoring at will when they needed to. the giants could shock the world, but i have a feeling the pats will be playing for keeps the entire game. they easily could set the record for most points scored by a team in the super bowl. sorry you dont want to hear that but reality sometimes sucks

I was there... and there was no toying at all. Pats played lousy... but they made some adjustments that ended up resulting in points. Giants made ZERO adjustments and got a shit ton of unanswered points put up on them.

No toying... no such thing in the NFL. Pats started clicking on all cylinders and pulled away (depsite what a 3 point score showed).

I think if the Giants played the best game they have in years the Pats would be them playing at 80%.

Theres only one way to find out, with good weather and the way the Pats have played all year.......odds are in their favor and if you argue that then your dense. Sure the Giants have a chance and it's not a sealed deal but the odds are in the favor of the Pats.

I would agree with the Pats making the necessary adjustments and the Giants not adjusting at all. That was the whole difference in the game. That accounts for the 17 points. Pats are a premire team without a doubt...but Go Giants

they didnt play as well as they could have bull or they wouldnt have won the game in the last couple mins

Every snap is an opportunity to make or break the game. The Pats made the best of it. The Giants could of, but didn't. The game should be good. I'm excited about the week 17 re-match.

I don't think the outdoor temp will matter, Eli is going to be in hot water. The pats have played pretty crumby and still dominated teams of late

I am a cowboys fan but I want the gaints to win the superbowl

Wow, talk about blind loyalty. Did you actually watch the game?

I did. I saw the Giants drop several passes. I saw them let Moss get open. (Boy was I pissed) I think it was the G-men who didn't play their best game. They lead the league in dropped passes.
Who knows. If they bring thier A game...they might have a prayer. If not...19-0 Pats and they make history.

I think you may be the only one to think the Giants didnt play their best best... seems like the Pats game was their best game of the year.

If the pats don't play any better than they did against a banged up charger team than they may be in trouble. They might not even be in the superbowl if the chargers had Lt and Gates at 100%. It just wasn't the same old brady in that game, it was almost like the pressure was starting to get to him.

I was there... very cold and windy. Thats why Brady was off. He is going to light it up in Arizona... warm weather for the win.

BTW, Pats havent given up a TD in the last 6 quarters of play.

i believe the chargers defense has way way more talent across the board then the giants. especially in the secondary and linebacker positions. i think the pats could afford two turnovers and still beat he giants. eli wont put up 30 points and thats what it will take to beat the pats.

He did put up 35 against the Pats the first time. The Giants leave the middle open way too much. The front 4, in my opnion is better that what the Charges brought.

I think you may be the only one to think the Giants didnt play their best best... seems like the Pats game was their best game of the year.

Without a doubt, Eli had his best game on that day. The Giants defense could have been better. I think that Eli having a good day sparked the team through the playoffs. I can't speak for the Superbowl, but if the trend continues...who knows

i think its gonna be a close game.... but pats will come out on top... they r just unstoppable.i have a funny feeling short passes and a controlling running game will be the pats game plan (as it has been all throughout the playoffs) and thats what wins playoff games and superbowls... consistancy and no big gambles.

eli only accounted for 28 points 7 came off a kick off return. i look for an intersting 1st quarter then the wheels fall off the giants wagon. the pats will dominate the game and win by at least 21. im not a fan of either team its just how i see this game going.

21? I think the spread is only at 12 1/2 now.

it's going to be a good game I think...close.

I dunno, both teams have a big star receiver (plexico and moss). Both teams have good defense. It will be key to see who gets to the QB on defense, and who establishes the run on offense.

I predict the G-men by a field goal.

well I was close.......:devil:

Just pressure Brady, that's all they have to do to keep it close......hats go off to the Giants for playing good defense on the pass rushing!!!

they have as much chance as a fart in the wind at beating NE.

It must have smelled pretty bad at the Super Bowl last night.:jest:

As a life long Giants fan, I admit that it's going to be tough to beat the Patriots. Just like the saying goes, Offense wins games, defense wins championships and I think the Giants have the better defense going into the game.

My prediction, 24-27 Patriots winning.

Well, I was partially right. I said that the better defense was going to win the game and the Giants did that.

I kept laughing last night and all day today at Tom Brady's interview where he laughed at Plax thinking the Patriots were only going to score 17 points and he wondered if Plax was planning to play defense.

Well guess what, the Giants defense shined and shut down Tom. He was sacked five times and hit/hurried countless more.

It was the most amazing game I have ever seen, no matter what team you like, anyone can admit that it was just awesome.

Honestly, I didn't think Brady's comments were that nasty, I could see some cockiness but he doesn't come off to me as a cocky player. He's good at what he does. The one I can't stand is Belechek(sp). That made my night when he walked off the field, nice sportsmanship bud.

Giants brought their A game, I wanted to cry when they won. I'm a life long Giants fan as well. Brad Benson was my Pop Warner coach and I am friends with Shaun O'Hara's brother so it meant even that much more.

Well, it was close. The front 4 did their job great. Rattle Brady and he just isn't the same. Hell, rattle any QB and you have a different game. I didn't see any wheels come off any wagon.
Must have used loc-tite on their nuts. I am a happy Giant fan!

I can't get enough of that clip with him laughing at the prediction.

I can't get enough of the catch and escape of Eli on 3rd and 5. Wow! How do you catch a ball against your helmet???

I can't even tell you how many times I've watched their final drive. I've been in the library all day (supposed to be) studying for my neuroscience final and I've probably watched that final drive about a dozen times and read every article on espn.com about the game.

Man I have Direct TV. I got the football package. I have watched the NFL channel from 11:05PM last night, all day today with the occasional look at CNN, FOX and ESPN. I with ya. Can't get enough of those G-Men

Here he is laughing at "we're only going to score 17...ha ha ha..."

No, you only scored 14...
