jranieli Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I was talking to one of my friends yesterday. He is also a Giants fan and is really worried about the Super Bowl. I kind of agreed. We were talking about how this week off can have put an end to the Giants momentum going into the Super Bowl. Yes, the extra week off is nice to rest some injured players but this team was on a roll. I guess it's the same with the Pats but they already had a Bye week. If it wasn't for the week off, I believe this team could have steam rolled the Pats but not so sure now. I hope Tom has this team prepared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. P Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 If the week off is the reason we lose than we don't deserve to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treehugger Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 We had a week off before our last SB win too so I wouldn't worry about it too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hlb37 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I hate the week off but that is mostly due to my need for instant gratification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firstnten Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 The way Manning was punsihed during he 9er game. If I had to guess he apprecated the time off. He must have felt like a truck hit him monday morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmenroc Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 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.

Yeah you're right Kareem Mckenzie was a rape victim during that game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmenroc Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Yeah you're right Kareem Mckenzie was a rape victim during that game. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
