If you asked me in February, I NEVER would have included the Giants! Hell, if you asked me in December, I would have said, “NO WAY are the Giants getting there!”.

Here we are going into February and the Giants are playing the Patriots in the Super Bowl! Who would have thunk?

Here are my thoughts on the game. Right or wrong, good or bad, I would like your feedback on this.

The Giants should have beat the Patriots in the last game of the season. They had EVERY chance to win and just didn’t do it for what ever reason. The Patriots are favored by 12 points which is WAAAAAY too many! In fact, I believe the Giants defense will rattle Tom Brady so much, the Giants WILL WIN this game! Don’t believe me, look at week 17 again!

That’s it for me until the game. If nothing else, we will watch one of the best games the Super Bowl has had in a LOOOOONG time!

GO GIANTS!!!

YUP! You read that right. The Giants are going to Arizona for the Super Bowl! New York Giants against New England Patriots!

You probably are asking yourself the same question as me, “How did THAT happen?” The only possible answer is Eli Manning. Since the game against the Patriots, Eli has played lights out! No interceptions, over 100 passer rating. Hell, he even played great in the coldest weather he will most likely ever see! So much for the under 50 degree theory.

Plaxico Buress had a great game against the Packers. Catching balls all over the field…Taunting the Packers bench…Doing what Plax does best…Intimidating and WINNING! (Still can’t believe the Steelers let him leave!)

So how did the Giants beat the Packers? They BELIEVED they could. The defense did not sack Farve once. But, they put pressure on him all night long. That is not how the Giants won.

The Giants won…are you ready…because of the offense! You read that right. The offense won this game. Eli Manning moved the offense down the field with a good mixture of passes and runs. When Brandon Jacobs was not as effective as he normally is, in came Ahmad Bradshaw. Between the two of them, they ate up chunks of yardage and the all important clock. Toss in a little Plaxico Buress, Amani Toomer, and Steven Smith and your game is complete.

Yea I was upset about the 2 Lawrence Tynes missed field goals, but he came through in the end when he had to. I have to admit I had my “Shoot Lawrence Tynes” (figurative) t-shirt out and ready to don. That 47 yarder to win the game erased those thoughts!

On to Arizona and the New England Patriots. What are your thoughts on the bowl and who could win? Early line has the Patriots at 15-1. I believe otherwise after watching the Giants last game of the season against the Patriots. Time will tell.

Hell, the Giants beat the Dallas Cowboys, I’m good with everything from that point on!

Please leave your comments about this or any other post.

Hey everyone. I have kept my mouth shut for the last few weeks since every time I say something the Giants lose!
Now, with the Gints in the NFC final round, I can’t shut up any more! Why? The Giants have done the one thing I never expected!
They won the NFC East and are playing for the Super Bowl.

Did you, in your wildest expectations, think the Giants would make it this far? I know I didn’t!

This is how I look at it. The Giants beat the Cowgirls….Cowboys when it counted. I don’t know about you, but I live to see the Giants win against the Cowboys. If the Giants only win 2 games a year, it HAS to be against the Cowboys!!

Anyway, let’s get into it a little more. The Genisis of the New York Giants! Where did you notice it? When did it happen? What made them a TEAM?

Personally, I look at the New England game. Eli seemed to become of age in that game. He began making decisions and executing plays. That my friends was the turning point of Eli Manning and the New York Giants!

Let’s get a little deeper in the TEAM! The defensive backs have sucked for a long time. If you watch the Giants like I do, you know that. Have you noticed something different in the last few games? BLANKET coverage? BIG name receivers unable to get open? CRUCIAL blocked passes?

These things are WHY the Giants have begun winning. Oh…don’t forget they are road warriors! That is another topic for later.

What about the running game? Brandon Jacobs, Derek Ward, Ahmad Bradshaw, and Reuben Droughns. Did I forget anyone? These guys have done a fab job of taking the pressure off of Eli. Gain yardage, Eli doesn’t need to throw as much. Simple formula!

Now we head into Wisconsin. Green Bay and Lameaugh field on a VERY COLD Sunday evening. How will Eli react? What about the defense? Time will tell my friends.

This is the last thing I have to say before the game. If the Giants lose, they have already gone farther than I ever expected! Should they come away with a win, GOD BLESS YOU BRETT FAVRE! You will be one of my heroes forever! Play again or not!

Go GIANTS! Go ELI! Go Michael and company! Go Brandon and Ahmad! GO TEAM! Win one for the Gipper! Oh, sorry…wrong team! Got carried away.

Talk soon, please leave your comments. I REALLY need to hear them!
