Super Bowl

New England versus New York because the Fans in New York will be happy and it would be like the Red Sox's versus the Yankees. Giants would win so it would be two wins in the row for the Manning family.
It would have been good for a Payton versus Elie or Jags versus Bucs Super Bowl.

If the Giants can go up to GB and get a win, who knows. Kudos to them fir a tough hard fought victory today.

I found this error amusing.

It will be funny if Peyton is at Lambeau next week watching Eli play. Actually, it will be surreal.

Mr. Favre and the rest of the Green Bay Packers are in the way, mgom. I love the Cinderella ride that the Giants are on, but taking down the Packers at Lambeau field would be really surreal to me.

I am proud of these Giants, though. They are showing discipline, poise, and heart that I did not know they had until recent weeks.

Pats and Packers would be a good one. That's what I'm aiming for.

Guess there's something to be said for Giants team who played week 17 as if it were a playoff game compared to the Colts who played Week 17 with Jim Sorgi

If the Giants win next week and make it to the Super Bowl, then this will be looked upon as a stroke of genius. I don't totally agree with that, although I do think the Giants came out of that game with more pride and determination than ever.

mgom, you called it! Nice going!

mrskippy · 01-20-2008, 11:05 PM

I hope the Giants beat the Pats and ruin their shot at 19-0. Plus, it would be nice to see back-to-back Manning Super Bowl victories. I'm sure many fans thought it was possible for a Manning to be in the Super Bowl, but not this Manning.

100% agree.

Left-handed Badger · 01-20-2008, 11:32 PM

I'm a bit split, I hate the Pats and hate the idea of them going undefeated and yet I am tired of the 72 Dolphins and would like to see their comeuppance.

SO, I just dont care.

Jestor · 01-20-2008, 11:36 PM

This is the worst of all possible Super Bowl matchups for me.

I don't want 72 to go down, but I hate that punk ass Eli.

Big Hugg · 01-21-2008, 02:11 AM

Sounds like you need an Eli Manning Priceless Pep Talk.

Why? He's a heck of a QB. He's a classic pocket passer, has the size, has all the tools, makes good reads, has good touch on his throws, moves around well in the pocket and he makes quick drops. What's not to like?

Agreed. He's so laid back that he takes heat for it. Not sure of the "punk ass" talk.

Jestor, I don't mean to dump on you especially after that super fine thread on the OOTP 2007/8 discussion board, but how do you come to hate Eli Manning, let alone call him a "punk ass"? How is it, when it comes to sports at least but certainly not confined to sports, that people can suddenly "hate" something or somebody? Manning, besides being a mediocre quarterback until recently, has been criticized for being bland, unemotional, passive. What's to hate?

Just highlighting this again. That game looms larger and larger as the catalyst for this amazing run by the Giants to the Super Bowl and maybe gives them the confidence they need to pull off an upset.

Some interesting points:

The Giants have won 10 road games in a row this season.
They are the only NFC team to ever win three road games as the wildcard to advance to the Super Bowl.
In doing so, they beat the two teams that kicked Giants butt in the first two games of the season, scoring 80 points combined.

A very satisfying season, regardless of what happens February 3. I am proud of these Giants. (And of Eli Manning.

)

Hehe, who says Boston/New York fans have to wait until baseball season to re-new their rivalry.

Sorry 1998Yankees, you are now my sworn enemy again sooner than expected!

Seriously though, The Giants are on a roll, no question, but I like the Pats passing game (and now running game) in a comfortable Arizona stadium.

Of course, a lot of people saidthat about the Rams in 2001.....
