Maybe it was a Patton-eque prayer that talked about smiting enemies.

On the other hand, prayer is more properly done with some privacy, IMHO. I am glad to know they prayed AND that it was not put out for media fodder. Giants Fan since 2004.

Idiots out there really need to get over athletes praying.

Most have done it since they were youngsters.

If I was making millions of dollars doing something I loved, I'd pray constantly, thanking the Lord for my good fortune, health and ability.

I am sorry to tell you that I saw the exact same thing the prior week after they won the first playoff game and I had the exact same reaction as you did. However, I seem to recall seeing it on the NFL website, not the Giant’s website, so I assumed it was an NFL decision.

I know they pray which is a good thing to me. Even if they didn't though, I wouldn't be upset, but to know they do, just makes them all the better in my eyes.

I am a seasons ticket holder.

I am a lifelong Giant fan, I can't put into words how disappointed I am with who ever did this.

I am also a lifelong Giants fan, and probably longer than you I would guess. (I was AT the '56 Championship Game.) I'm also a reasonably observant person, but I think there is good reason for privacy in these matters. Despite what others think about Tebow, I think he would just as soon not have his religion be made such a big deal. I know about his eyeblack, but I don't see any of this as being any different from someone crossing themself before an at-bat or before a race.

Let it be.

Old school, unhip Tom Coughlin is among the three best head coaches in the NFL.

They say the Lord’s prayer, I have seen it done a number of times on video.

They’re praying that they be spared the Wrath of the New York Fans when they lose.
