Over/Under & Money Odds
I believe it was just 4 short years ago when the Vegas line opened up making the Giants 14 point underdogs and we all remember how that game went, just dashing the Pats dreams of a perfect season. The Patriots looked absolutely average tonight, if they bring that caliber of play to the Bowl it'll be a Giants blowout. The Giants played a tough away game and came up big winners again, Packers, 9'ers, who can't they beat???
no offense, cuz i'm a homer for my team too, but it wasn't a niner offensive problem and them not playing. if was the giant defense shutting them down and the niner o-line not being able to handle the giants.
i've made similar excuses, but it just ain't so. the giants defense is better than the niner offense...
i'm worried about the pats now, the giant defense is great, unfortunately
What Mo said ^ ^ ..ouch..It's a team effort and to see an individual player blow it twice and change the outcome for the team, that's sad...what can I say. I'm a sore looser? No not really..loved watching all of it except Kyle! DD
Well as that game started, I had no clear favorites (then I wanted SF to win). I will start off by saying that the Giants are one of the few pro sports teams I hate anymore (them and the Lakers are the only ones that come to mind), I still get furious any time I think about it. My brother and I were visiting to help our sick mom, who was also a fan. After that game, she got to see us go absolutely ballistic and she did not need that stress. (She died a few months later.) Our fault I know, but after the season we had to have it all stolen in the end like that was infuriating. I could go on and on about how they stole it and played dirty and had the refs in their back pocket. I will instead end it here. I respect anyone's right to like whoever they like, as long as they don't rub your nose in it. I am good online friends with someone from another chat who is a Giants fan, has health problems (I do too, but not of the painful variety thank God), and we respect each other enough to listen to each others opinions and not let it get personal. I hope we can do the same here. It will be hard, I didn't even want to say what I said as the last thing I want to do is stir shit, but I feel you have to know where I am coming from too.
So anyway, I expect it to be a close game, a hard-fought game, and whoever plays better that day will win. I hope it is us as losing to them again would be really tough to say the least. WE are both good teams, we both earned the right to be here and wouldn't be here if we didn't. We both find ways to win. So again, I respect the fans but not the team. I respect what they have accomplished and won't begrudge them that. I know there are plenty of people who hate the Pats. I could say I have a better reason, but we all have our reasons and we can leave it at that. I hope we can respect each other and keep this civil and not get nasty. GO PATRIOTS!!!
It seems to keep working out that way doesn't it? But no, even I have to admit they made some good plays especially toward the end and it was not just luck. It is obvious we can win or lose as can they, I just hope things will turn out better this time. Toward the end of our game, I could not watch. I was thinking "oh God how can you let this happen again?" and how wrong everything would be with the universe to allow that and that I am some cosmic punching bag as a result. Then I put that all aside and thought of my mom and prayed hard. I was shocked that they missed a 32 yard field goal and looked up to the sky and said "THANK YOU".
Later that night I heard someone say Myra Kraft looked down from heaven and pushed that ball away. I would like to think my mom did it. But maybe they were at the same table watching and agreed to do it mutually. Either way I am so relieved. In retrospect I wish I had rooted harder for SF. Giants are the better opponent if we win, but I would have much rather lost to SF. PEACE
GO PATRIOTS!!!
man, when you are right you are right. IF anything I said is perceived as making excuses or otherwise distasteful, I apologize in advance and will gladly edit out any offensive material.
I decided to combine 3 posts into one (I would have deleted them instead of leaving periods if I could; could some mod delete those posts? thanks.) Did I say GO PATRIOTS!?
IF not let me say it again:
GO PATRIOTS!!!

I was a little hard on Kyle, I found this write up at CNN http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2012/writers/ann_killion/01/23/kyle.williams.fumbles/index.html ..it seems the coach and other players forgive him, so can I. Looking forward to the Bowl...DD

S4L,
I consider you an online friend and hope we can continue to root for our teams and not let that get in the way of respecting each other. You could find some of what I said distasteful as I could post #264. I will try harder to watch what I say from now on but we both have the right to say what we need to say too. I hate this whole "political correctness" thing, it is not correct at all in my opinion. I don't want that to happen here. Yet I do believe people can avoid going out of their way to incite other groups and hope we can do that here. Find a balance, that's what I am trying to say. I would have sent a shorter rep message about this but can't rep you yet. If your team wins I will try to be happy for you even though I am miserable. What am I saying? Of course the Pats will win! Go pats!

the same could be said for the giants at the end of the first half and in OT when it matterd
I hope Eli destroys New England... Brady and his coach are Cheaters...
Eli is insane.. and I love old school Tom Coughlin ... If Manning wins this one ..He's better then Peyton..When Peyton won the superbowl he played like shit and the Defense won... Eli's Wideouts are the best any Manning has ever had!
Victor Cruz/Hakim Nicks >Marvin Harrison/Reggie Wayne
Tiki Barber lol Biggest Dumbass is all of sports... Eli sucks huh lol
Giants Defense is going to lockdown NE's Tight Ends ... The Pass rush isnt going to let Brady have 3 hours to throw the ball... NE is going down hard in this one ..Plus Eli is playing in Big Brothers Backyard... Karma is always with those that dont cheat!

San Fransisco needs another option to pass the ball too... Vernon is a beast.... but outside of him you have no hands... Crabtree bust... and Gore is used the wrong way... if they can find another person to catch the ball .. they could open the pass game like NE with its TE's .. Vernon Davis is the fastest TE in the history of the NFL....True Beast ...
