rams80 Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Who should be put on suicide watch more, Cowboys fans last week or Packers fans now?Packers fans. A guy who lives on my floor went nutso when Tynes made the FG. Turned off my TV talking about "DON'T GIVE FOX THE RATINGS!!!" My 29 year old sister said that "a single tear went down my left eye" when the Cowboys lost. So yeah, judging by that, I say that if you know any Packers fans or have any that live near you...go see about them, 'kay? It's going to be interesting at my house tomorrow. My cousin and Aunt from Wisconsin are coming by to visit Bradley. Said cousin refused to leave today because the game "had to be watched in Wisconsin". I believe they plan on leaving for Peoria at 4:30 AM. Yeah...it's going to be tense.

KennyRock Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 I would posit that Eli Manning and the Giants have played far more inspired football than any other team in this year's playoffs, the Patriots included. If today's Giants squad matched up with today's Patriots, New York would have wiped the floor with them. Eli and the Giants deserve a lot of credit for going into two very hostile environments and coming out with the win. I feel like if that Chargers had shown a pulse today, they could have walked out with the win. As it happened, they stunk up the joint and the Pats sleepwalked into the Super Bowl. I don't doubt Belichick will have them better prepared in two weeks, but if the game were played next Sunday, I have a pretty good feeling the Giants would win.Okay, I agree with your first paragraph completely.However, as much I want to heap endless amounts of praise on the Giants, I can't. Yes, it's true that this is the same team that just won 3 straight road playoff games and gave the Pats maybe their toughest fight of the regular season. But, as much as one can argue that this game could be rough for the Pats... it's going to be way harder for New York. The Pats now have the entire game tape from their Week 17 meeting to study, and that was when this entire identity for the Giants came into to place. If they somehow stifle Brady, can they also stop Maroney on the ground? Or if they stop him on the run, can they still contend with Brady's arm in the warm weather? And even if their defense is up to spec, you can't miss 2 field goals and fail to score touchdowns in the red zone and STILL score enough to keep a lead... Also, you can't count on the Pats to keep your hopes alive with FOUR penalties on the same drive.I'm not trying to be a downer, just a realist. Of course I want them to win, and I love the underdog story. Anyway, sorry for the rant - one thing I do want to say is this - I totally agree that if the Superbowl was NEXT week I'd give the Giants a slightly better shot.

habsfan1 Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Would that of been something to see Peyton face his brother in the Superbowl? Oh well maybe next year.Or maybe not. It looks like the Pats won't be losing a game until the beginning of the next decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mantleisthebest7 Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 I know I've already posted, but I've gotta say something Ive been really thinking about for the past ahour. It jsut hit me that of all the teams Ive seen in the playoffs this year, I havent seen a team exhibit more heart in thier play than the Giants, including the Cheatriots - I mean Patriots, and the way they have been playing football the past few has been tough, gritty, all-heart, down to the wire football, the way the game is MEANT to be played. And they have won with it. Another thing: They have flat out never gave up on anything. Lawrence Tynes missed two straight field goals and got two nast swear words from Tom Coughlin before he nailed the OT game winner. He never gave in to those missed field goals, he just kept his head up and became the hero. There was so many times taht Bradshaw from the Giants got tossed around like a rag doll trying to run the ball, but he kept his feet moving and found a way to get as much ground as he could before he finally got down. And Mannings performance has been as good as anybody this postseason - NO INTS INCLUDED - and he has played a huge part in thier success. But the Giants play some hardcore team ball and play with some extreme heart. So don't doubt them for a moment. So, for one day and one day only, in two sundays, I will be a Giants fan. I'm gonna throw on my royal blue Under Armour shirt that I wear for football, tape the Giants logo to it on Super Bowl sunday and wear it proudly as I cheer for my one-day-only favorite team. As Chris Berman says, "GO G-MEN!!!!!" or as he also says, "GO NEW YORK FOOTBALL GIANTS!" Jimmy Eat World Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

infrared41 Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Where do those cool NFL helmet sigs come from? I checked the concept thread, but didn't see anything.Helmet sigsOnce again "New York" vs "Boston" dominates the sports world Ah crap. I didn't notice that. Oh LORD, that means there will be at least 30 Yankees-Red Sox references by ESPN before the Super Bowl begins.EDIT: Make that at least 200 Yankees-Red Sox references. I forgot that it is ESPN...They'll hit 200 by morning. Â Â Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly think the Giants deserved to win today.
