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.

Well I should hope so...he is playing in the superbowl after all.

Wilfork...get Hynoski to trip...essentially chop blocking Wilfork in the side of the knee...in the first offensive series of the game. I'd take a PF not to see VW the rest of the game. I'm kidding of course...but I can't say that I wouldn't be a little relieved if it happened

Eh, assuming they'll have a party next weekend is no more overconfident than some of the comments coming out of Giants camp...

Tiki had no confidence in Eli, a complete disagreement with his coach, and proceeded to throw both of them under the bus both internally and publicly...in essence, dividing a locker room. 6 years later, Tiki still disagrees with the coach who made him relevant and is only now expressing that he know's Eli is a winner. What makes a good teammate is one who has faith (believing without seeing) in his teammates and strives to make his teammates better. Public criticism and fostering dissention, intentionally or otherwise, doesn't sound all that great a means of doing so. I think that Tiki has shown his true colors and I couldn't disagree more with the type of person he has shown himself to be. He could've broken the all time rushing TD mark and gained more yards than any other back ever...and I'd still not be a fan after how he's treated his teammates. Being a good player does not excuse you from being a dick. Comparing Tiki to LT isn't exactly appropriate. LT's problems really affected only him. I don't recall LT trashing Simms or Bavaro or Parcells.

I pretty much agree. I know too that the Giants have been susceptable to the run at times this season and BJGE/DW were both running better towards the end of the season. I don't expect the Patriots to come out run, run, run...but if they establish a running game, it'll hurt significantly. I think that we can beat the TEs by doubling the inside receivers with LB/S. We've had some success against TEs lately (Finley, Gonzalez). Though we got hurt by VDavis. Don't give me the 'we held him to just 3 catches and it was two defensive breakdowns garbage. He torched us for two big plays and it damn near lost us that game. I think we have the ability to stack up against Hernandez and Gronkowski, again, if they're chipped off the line and doubled. CWeb and ARoss should be able to take their WRs 1:1. Welker will be a tough draw for Webster, but so long as Webster disrupts his routes and throws off the timing...I think we can live with that. I have no doubts we'll move the ball on offense...but we need to score TDs and not stand for FGs.

And the coach who taught you how to properly carry a football and as such, put you amongst the top backs in the league...a status you had not reached prior on your own despite what you might think...is now an enemy... Tiki is a piece of shit and quite frankly, I'm a bit ashamed that I once rooted for him and that I once was a fan of him as a player.

They've already come out and said that they're drafting Luck, haven't they? I agree that they definitely should go that route. I also think that they should keep Peyton for 1 more year. Let Peyton and Luck overlap for a year....Luck learns from a future HOFer...Colts set up for the next decade. Peyton has a chance to prove to the rest of the league he's healthy and he becomes tradeable next year. You might have to amend Peyton's contract now to allow him some control over the eventual trade next offseason in order to get this done. Any way you slice it, I think the consensus is that they should and will draft Luck. The only question is with Manning and HIS ability to play football. The other thought I had was, given the coaching changes, offering Manning the OC position, assuming his neck doesn't allow him to play anymore. Given Manning's smarts, I think he could move into that role fairly easily. Still draft Luck and let Manning coach him. I doubt it'll happen, but it'd be really fun to follow if it did.

Ebay, Ticketmaster, Stubhub....you'll get raped on all 3, but they're the only places I'm seeing where they're available

Wait...they're afraid of being criticized for making boneheaded calls/plays? Here's a thought...don't make boneheaded calls/plays and there'd be nothing to worry about.

Coughlin may get there anyhow...I'd have to look at other coaches who've made it. I saw an article that reminded me that TC made it to two AFC championship games with the Jags as well as his tenure with us. Four conference championship games, 2 SB appearances, at least 1 SB win, a pretty solid playoff record overall AND on the road, and even a pretty decent regular season record. Eli definitely needs the 2nd SB to get in. Beyond that though, a 2nd SB win for Eli puts him past his brother.

Agreed.

It does for the Cowboys

Bent nails = "You suck" Cut brake lines = "I hope you die"

I can't see this being a blowout, with a Giants win OR a Patriots win...not by a long shot. The real debate is whether or not it'll be high scoring or low scoring.

They got fucked in the ass by some queer and don't come around anymore.

I'd be all about that app

What responsible, well-intentioned, trying-to-pay-her-way-through-school, hardworking, single-mom stripper would ever, EVER leave their child in the care of another?

Wouldn't it be difficult for her to watch the kid from the pole?

Don't think bad officiating can undo the 45-7 onslaught the Pats have coming

The SB is not going to be a walk in the park...not by a long shot. Defensively, we need to double the inside receivers, which will probably be their TEs. Welker in the slot is going to be a bitch for CWeb. Offensively, we need to be flexible and go with the flow of the game. Sure, we'd love ball control offense and to keep Brady on the sideline, but we need to be prepared for a shootout as well.
