Just heard that the Giants set the record for beating teams in playoffs with combined win totals. Beat Atlanta - they had 10 wins Beat Green Bay - they had 15 wins Beat San Francisco - they had 13 wins (14 counting playoffs) Beat New England - they had 13 wins (15 counting playoffs) That's 51 wins (54 counting playoffs) our beaten playoff opponents had. Interesting. Call it strength of schedule of playoff opponents.

Keep the WRs and get some OLine depth. I'd be happy with a TE too, but Ballard hasn't exactly been horrible. Keep the WRs together and keep Eli protected...while strengthening the running game with OLine guys. A LBer would be great to have too. J Williams has gotten better and Boley and Kiwi have been pretty consistent...and with Goff coming back...we might be okay. Greg Jones continuing to develop...who knows.

Playoffs are a whole new season...once you're in, anything can happen.

I am glad we got the TD, but it would've been nice to have forced the Pats to use their last TO and to give them less time than what we did. Glad our defense wasn't coasting that last minute...

Agreed, on both accounts.

Sure the ring will make him feel a little better...but yeah, I don't see him coming back.

Well, if they structure the deals appropriately, each could get a higher base salary in alternating years so as to get paid, AND stay together.

Yeah, I can't watch sportscenter...can't listen to espn...can't even go to espn.com...I'm tired of the coverage... Give me the game already.

You want a PRIVATE life....try not living in the PUBLIC eye.

I'm all for someone who is firm in their beliefs, even if I don't necessarily agree with them...however, if you're so far in one direction that you can't even see or have the patience to hear an opposing point of view...it crosses the line.

Wonder what she'll tweet when JPP breaks his neck?

Good stuff

They COULD check, assuming you're listed in a phone book. They probably WILL check when they run your credit, a standard practice in refinancing.

I emailed you...that's gotta count for somethin'....how's the whole refinancing deal working out?

Not listed, but I'll take the over.

Just clipped the betting lines out of Sunday's paper... Overall, Pats still favored by 3.5 Interesting betting lines include: O/U of 1 minute, 34 seconds -- length of national anthem (Kelly Clarkson) O/U of 5.5 seconds -- length of time Clarkson holds the word "brave" O/U of 5.5 times -- they will show Peyton Manning on TV O/U of 2.5 times -- they will mention Andrew Luck on TV O/U of 46.5 -- Neilson Rating for the game O/U of 115 million -- number of viewers there are a bunch of others..

No, I had the opportunity to buy them because I had been on the waiting list long enough and I suppose with the PSLs and shitty economy and the increased seating in the new stadium...I finally got my opportunity to buy. Between the time of signing up on the waiting list and the time I got the phone call, I bought a house and proposed...thereby eliminating any possibility of being able to afford them. Back when I was simply renting for extremely cheap and making good money, I probably could've swung it. Timing just screwed me.

Nah...for me...I bought a house and am getting married...priced myself out.

Teams are constantly trying to improve themselves. He was a victim of that. He said himself it wasn't a personal decision. But given he turned out to be a bigger and better impact this year than the rookies...to not be invited back to at least compete for the positions would be an insult...

I got the same call earlier in the season...but then again, I had signed up for season tix years ago. Like you, I couldn't afford them, but figured that it was simply my turn coming up.

Perhaps...but if that's the case, we're "stuck" with a pretty damn good DE.

I hope he realizes how good he has it hear playing next to the guys he's playing next to. Playing opposite guys like Tuck and JPP is what get him the stats that he gets. If he is traded, I hope the Giants ask for no less than a #1 and #2 AND that he's traded to a team selecting in the top 1/2 of the draft THIS year. Otherwise, keep him here.

After the contribution he made this year...I'd be a little upset if he wasn't offered SOMETHING....but to not be invited back, would be a slap in the face.

Can't say that he was the only one.... I guess at the end of the day, it's what you're team needs more at the time, momentum or health.

I understand the momentum argument. Green Bay was rusty...we beat them when they were clearly off their standard. Please don't take this as the Giants not earning that win. They did...but GB helped. I think after the tough game against SF, we were physically beat up a bit and it did our whole team, not just Eli, a lot of good to get some relaxation. That, and the fact that most of the guys haven't been through SB week before. So I really think that the extra day or two to just get your head right and learn what to expect. Outlining what to do when, knowing what's coming, and not being surprised or shocked by the hugeness of it all...I think is almost as important as the gameplanning preparation.
