Favre is speaking. I can’t believe it. I’ve got more respect for him.

[mikrofon]

That Hillary curse is quite powerful — football, baseball, hockey, whatever — nobody in NY does well while she’s in office there.

Problem is if you want the curse to be broken, she’d have to be elected President...

[scott says]

I think it will be pretty close and hopefully as a Pats fan, they pull away at the end.
Giants have a great D and can play with anyone. Should be a good one.

[GraniteStateConservative]

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.

Yeah, except the game is in two weeks.

[cleveland gop]

If the Giants can hold the ball for 40 minutes again, not only do they stay close, they can win.
I think NE has to take chances and be a bit more agressive defensively than they were today.

[wardaddy]

what a nice treat eh?

i hadn’t watched a pro game since Stabler...

our homeboys rule on either side !!

[rlmorel]

“What the heck are you rambling about”?

I am discussing your baseless assertion that the Patriots admitted that they “lost” something. The organization admitted to taping, but go ahead and find me a quote from the coach or one single player that admits to “losing” something in the process. Good luck with that. If you can’t follow a thought from one posting to another, that is your lack of focus, not mine.

As for the Giants, sure, I think the Giants have a chance, a good one. How long have you watched football? I have been watching for a while, long enough to know that there is no such thing as a lock on anything. That is something the Dallas Cowboys and their fans understand, and something the Patriots and their fans understand as well, especially since halftime of last years AFC Championship game.

[marajade]

Favre can’t believe they lost. Get over it pal.

[Cyropaedia]

Don't forget Hall Of Famer Jimmy Johnson. Arguably the finest one on one pure cover corner ever.

[Last Visible Dog]

Question: I have heard the TV guys making a comment about the Giants winning 10 in a row - what are they talking about? The Giants lost to the Redskins in week 14.

[Perdogg]

Check out the early forecast. It’s going be like it was the first they played three weeks ago.

[warsaw44]

Oh, please - very, very different football team these days.

[rlmorel]

Perhaps 10 road games in a row?

[Perdogg]

They were talking about wins on the road.

[Radix]

"And John Elway?"

Elway refused to be signed by the Colts, but ...somehow it is not the same thing as what the Mannings pulled with that San Diego draft stuff.

Perhaps memory distorts things.

I think that if Eli Manning did not already have a brother playing in the NFL then the appearance of things might be different.

[JohnLongIsland]

on the road...

[marajade]

road wins Do you even follow football or are you really a troll?

[NCC-1701]

First, I do have a team to follow. Been with them for 30-odd years. Secondly, I do hate the Patriots. I have NEVER liked them. I wish the Giants all the luck in the world in their quest to win Super Bowl 42. Even if it’s by one point, that would be fine with me. It won’t be easy. I know enough about the game to know that.

[marajade]

It is too the same thing. Elway threatened to play pro baseball

[Cyropaedia]

It’s not about him being a liberal, it’s about getting a straight answer out of the NFL front office.
