Super Bowl XLVI

[lugnutz]

Best thing that ever happened to the Patriots was Brady sucking vs the Ravens. Add in the vengeance factor and I like their chances. Its going to be a great SB though

I am deathly afraid of Eli throwing the ball 50+ times on this Pats defense. Was really hoping the 49ers would pull it out. If the Pats can't get off the field on 3rd down they have no shot.

All good points, but the Pats will score too. Pats 49 Giants 42

Normally, I'd be excited that the Pats are in the Super Bowl, but not today.

Sorry, I'm going to go mope some more. I take sports way too seriously.



P.S. condolences to me on my loss

[B Luc]

Sorry for your loss, AY.

Much has been made of the "Pats have no wins vs teams that finished with a winning record" thing but I didn't realize that the Giants only beat one team this year that finished with a winning record-

The Patriots.

[lugnutz]

Not this time Eli

the Pats have one now...

the Giants added 3 more

Harp on a useless fact some more. It was a "last possession wins" game during the season and it will probably be that again.

who was Harping on it?

[lugnutz]

You have mentioned that fact several times over the last few weeks like it meant something....didnt mean anything then, means less now. One game for glory!!

Lugz you have no fucking idea what you're talking about. Have you seen the Giants D in the playoffs? you know the Giants D that shutout ATL's O, held GB to pretty much 13 points and shut down SF except for 2 plays.

Yup no fucking idea.

Eli lights up the Pats D, I don't think it's gonna be close.

[lugnutz]

Ok you must be right.

if by Harping on it, you mean i mentioned it once, then you are right


carry on

[Section 40]

Pats win and the the much maligned often overlooked 31st ranked defense makes people look foolish in the process and after being fellated by the the media for the next two weeks the Giants defense gets a taste of payback from the Pats offensive line. J Thornton's Godfather squaring the family business blog from last week was right on. Down the the Giants... Down go the Giants....
