Bring on the Patsies!!!

[BIGLOOK]

There’s nothing New York about Hillary.....she probably doesn’t even know the Giants play in New Jersey.

[jwalsh07]

Deion: I believe in you Eli.

LOL

[Perdogg]

Eli has QB rating throughout the playoffs of 99.24

53/85 - 602 yds - 4 tds - 0 ints

[scott says]

The guy was predicting another Pats blowout SB win...not another blowout loss.And I am VERY old enough remember the loss to the Bears if you must know.

[Richard Kimball]

How do you explain the Cleveland curse?

[Lady Jag]

More like, go Giants....

GO PATS

[marajade]

Best cornerback in NFL history.

[LibertyRocks]

You’ll have to knock a couple of those first-downs off the stats to get an accurate picture though... The Packers handed them like 3-5 straight first downs on penalties alone in the first half.

[warsaw44]

Ha! I see dead people - and they all wear Giants uniforms!

[discostu]

Which is really amazing given how much he’s sucked for most of his career. He’s really turned it around late. And good for him. But the SB has very bright lights.

[newnhdad]

Pats are the perfect team but they can be beat.
Problem is that the Giants play their game and the Pats play their game, the Pats win 99 times out of 100.

I’ve been a NYG Fan for all my life but that’s the facts.

Lets see how the game ends up on the field in two weeks.

[Lady Jag]

Brilliant Graphic!

[Richard Kimball]

I’m a Cowboys fan. I feel your pain. We’re both sitting here going, “How did we lose to these guys?” We just got outplayed, and didn’t want it as much as the Giants did. If Favre starts crying in the postgame, our experiences will be exactly the same.

[Reaganite1984]

I actually do recall that game, believe it or not.

One of my favorite B. Bills moments.

Their subsequent Super Bowl appearance, not as much.

[LibertyRocks]

Sorry about that... I realized it only after I had posted and was reading back through others replies... My apologies... :)

[mfccinsd]

So what, an hour, maybe, before Hillary will somehow claim this as a prophetic sign that she will be winning the political playoffs and be the nominee. (And if Giants win next week then she’ll say she’ll win the “Super Bowl” too) Maybe Rudy will try to beat her to the punch. LOL.

Of course Mitt could try and claim the same with the Pats...but that’d ruin his gold/silver medal thing he’s using.

[From The Deer Stand]

We (the Packers) were among the top four teams despite the loss!

[joebuck]

"That’s pretty much been the standard spread with the Pats this year."

Makes sense, then add 2 points for all the dumb money that comes out for the Super Bowl which will all go to the Pats and 16 makes sense. (Dumb money is people who never bet on any game but the SB, and don't really follow the game and base their entire decision on what the talking heads say.)

[big'ol_freeper]

I'd say great game to the Giants but actually the Giants deserved to lose a little bit less than the Packers, so, based on performance they should have won.

Sets up the latest 21st Century New England team spanking of a New York team...THAT never gets old...and right before pitchers and catchers report for the next baseball season where the Red Sox will be defending World Series Champions.. Gotta love it.

Go Patriots!! Go Red Sox!! (Aggravating New Yorkers is never out of season)
