Don’t know about that but I hope this Manning has the same success as the other Manning had last year in the Super Bowl. I hate the Patriots.

[Mr. Mojo]

Final (telling) stats:

First downs: Giants 22, Packers 13

Rushing yards: Giants 134, Packers 28

Time of possession: Giants 40:00, Packers 22:00

The game wasn’t as close as the score indicated. The line of scrimmage was complete controlled by the G-Men.

See you in a couple weeks for the rematch of the (very) close contest that closed out the regular season.

Go Giants!

LOL

Bed heck. Tomorrow is a holiday. I’m gonna have a beer to celebrate.

[HelloooClareece]

Unbelievable game!

The Giants came close to beating the Pats so here’s hoping for another trophy for the Manning family. They are a class act for sure. (As is Mr. Favre).

[Brandie]

Me too Scott, this was a good game. I would have been crazy yelling too with the OT if my team was in it.

[jwalsh07]

I think the question is going to be do the bright lights put the zap on Eli’s head, they don’t have a team that can overcome bad QBing like my Steelers did when Ben choked, for one thing they don’t have any former QBs lining up as WRs to throw the big TD.

If the Giants get a push on Brady they can win, if they don't they can't. Simple as that.

[SamAdams76]

Well even though it will be annoying to deal with Archie and Eli Manning the next couple of weeks, at least we won’t be subjected to two more weeks of “human-interest” stories on how Brett kicked painkiller addictions, had to deal with adversity on the home front, how he “resurrected” his career when everybody though he was finished, how he is such a “nice” guy, blah, blah, blah.

Good game, Giants fans, and congratulations.

I guess that Patriots are polishing up the Lombardi trophy now. Just dreadful.

[Incorrigible]

Cripes! Tom better get some treatment for frostbite never mind talking to Bradshaw!

[Richard Kimball]

Yeah, they squandered some chances, but the Packers never got the chances. That last int was all on Favre.

[warsaw44]

I tell you what is going to be so much “ fun “. Listening to the friggin’ New York fans calling WEEI right up until the SB.

[jwalsh07]

Giants pass rush has to play the game of their life for the Giants to have a chance.

You know football.

[discostu]

Of course they did lead the league in sacks, and do it without a lot of blitzing which you have to do in order to cover all those Pats receivers. Should be entertaining. Though I was hoping for perfect season-vs-Favre winning his last. Guess I’ll just be rooting for the perfect season now.

[LibertyRocks]

Now THAT was an awesome Super Bowl! :)

[Ken H]

The Giants win the penant! The Giants win the penant! The Giants win the penant!

[marajade]

Deion: I believe in you Eli.

[yield 2 the right]

During the TV break, I was listening to the radio on the wrong station, the news babe just said the Red Sox and the Yankees will play in he Super Bowl...Hired for her voice not for her brains...

[Richard Kimball]

I think 14 points. That’s pretty much been the standard spread with the Pats this year.

[Radix]

"I hope the Giants beat the pants off the Patriots."

The Patriots have played New York teams 5 times this season and won em all.

Sure, Boston area fans have a complex after all of those Yankee beatings.

But now, it is so over for New York.

The Giants will be humiliated in the Super Bowl, now that the Patriots have been unleashed from their NFL political shackles.

You'll see.

Meanwhile, Congrats to the NY Giants. Enjoy it while you can.
