Super Bowl XLVI GameThread: New England Patriots vs. New York Giants

It's finally here, friends: Super Bowl XLVI is under way in Indianapolis, with the New England Patriots and New York Giants both seeking to put the finishing touches on the latest glorious chapter in their respective franchise annals.

The hype is over. Now, for one last time in the 2011 NFL season, it's all about the football. These are two very good teams that each present matchup problems for the other. There is rich recent history between the two franchises; in 2007, the Pats beat the Giants 38-35 to wrap up a perfect regular season before the Giants ruined their bid for an undefeated season by winning Super Bowl XLII 17-14, while this year, the Giants ended the Patriots' 20-game home winning streak with a 24-20 win in Week 9.

Can the Giants make it three-of-four? Or will the Patriots preserve the trend of the regular season loser earning post-season glory? Enjoy the big game, folks!

i get what you were saying

And I totally agree. It seemed, like two kinda average teams, playing well enough, but far from OUTSTANDING football. I think we can be competitive with either of these teams, and had we played better through the season (which i get is dabills1’s point) we could have definitely given either team a challenge, potentially.

I am picking up what you are putting down. I hear what you are saying. I get what you mean. I feel ya. WORD WERRD WORD?!?! Werd… and such.

I’ve decided, if I get PowerBall, the two things I’m getting (after killing everyone in my family’s debt, because I’m nice like that) are a Grand Sport and Bills season tickets. (While still living in O-town. Hell, with PowerBall I can afford to fly in eight times a year. Yes, I’ve thought this well through.)

If you win the Powerball, you can get a much nicer vette. I’d go with a split window. But i’d also own a Ferrari 288 GTO and a 911 GT3 RS. The GS is only a $68,000 car. I think about the cars i’d own in this scenario daily, myself.

Defense Wins Championships.

Its all about rushing the passer and stopping the run.

Don’t say that, I tried pointing out we strengthened against the run and now can get pass rushers and was mocked, lmao

You weren't

mocked by me. We are stacked against the run and can now focus on pass rushers. I like how this team is made. Yes, we still need starters, but, pass rushers don’t take long to train. Playing the run on the other hand, very hard.
When Bruce Smith started, he had no issues rushing the passer, but, his play against the run and especially on draws and sweeps was awful.

I commented Gailey was building his defense from the inside out, since we were god awful against the run. Now is the time to get our perimeter set. Then was told run defense wasn’t important, since lots of winning teams have bad run defence it is about passing and stopping the pass now adays. I’m an advocate of balance I guess.

I remember that

some will argue just to argue. Pay no attention. I happen to agree with you. The Bills had such a horrible run defense that teams never needed to pass on them to get a first down. They had to fix that first. And I think, at full health, they did. I think this year, with some more talent at OLB/DE they will be at the level that is going to be a top 15 run defense. Maybe even better.

Don’t worry about it. There are others who agree with you, some don’t like the hassle they get if they post. If you write a post and put it to a vote, you’d be shocked at how many agree, how many disagree, has nothing to do with how many leave messages. The ratios are exactly the opposite.

I spent the evening witha bunch of Pats fans

My buddy & I are both season ticket holders and had to listen to them gloat all evening and let me tell you my friends that the Giants victory was very sweet! Next best thing to the Bills making it to the playoffs was being able to stick it to a bunch of Pats fans, sure was nice!

Hey, wonder if this means something… wait, Eli did become a pretty damn good passer. So I couldn’t argue that one doesn’t need a good one to win the Bowl. I’m still going to continue arguing that Fitz IS good, though.

Well, when the Patriots won, they did it with great defense. Brady didn’t have to put up tons of points. The Giants applied unique pressure last night, at least as I observed it. They weren’t always successful, but it was clear Brady was rattled.

congratulations giants

I watched the 2nd half at one of my friends houses down the street.

His roomate got totally boned by the Giants.

His square was a 2 for the Giants and a 7 for the Patriots and then the Giants went for 2 when it didn’t matter. So instead of winning he was off by 1 on the Giants because they didn’t kick the XP.

The better TEAM won today

Even if the NYG coach almost gave the game away, they still won. The pass rush only got a few sacks, but, they were in Brady’s lap some of the night and certainly when it mattered. I do wonder if their DC (Perry) will get a HC job now. He should.

YES!!!

I am so happy the Giants won today. Congrats boys. Although they’ll always be second to the Bills, I do love the Giants.

Also, I want our team to resemble theirs one day. I feel like a good offense run by a franchise QB and a good pass rush is enough to beat anyone on a consistent basis. I know we’re really far away from their defensive level, but it’s still the team I would like the Bills to emulate.

They are the NFL gold standard for a 4-3 Defensive line.

Exactly, and now that we’re switching back to a more consistent 4-man front, I’d like to use their defense as a blueprint.

Both Coughlin’s and Eli’s. I know many other Giants fans that complain constantly about Eli. If they don’t want him so much, send him over to the Bills.

At the Two minute warning, with the Giants driving at the Patriots 20 with a first down, and with the Patriots up by two and with two timeouts, the Patriots should have let the Giants score, and gotten the ball back.

I know it sounds unconventional, I just think in the scenario it would have given the Patriots a better chance to win.

by Xaviermw on Feb 6, 2012 12:04 AM EST reply actions  

I think they DID do that.

Just too late.

I posted on Facebook how it even seemed like they’d learned from us. How Freddie got tackled and if they’d let him in it’d probably have gone to overtime knowing Brady.

"Herndo"

Hey Rumblers, as a little revenge for his goose-stepping into the endzone on the final week of the season (which didn’t get an unsportsmanlike penalty, even though Stevie Jackson did … what a backward league), I’m going to go to google and type in “Aaron Hernandez embarrassed himself” for dropping a key 4th quarter pass. If enough of us do so, maybe it will show up on Google Trends tomorrow. And maybe he’ll hear about it. I don’t know, it might just be fun.

I’ll be at the Sizzler, er, Google if any of you want to join me.

Flashbacks

Am I the only Bills fan who watched that game and couldn’t shake the memory of Super Bowl XXV?

The underdog Giants control the ball pretty much the entire first half but go into the locker room just barely behind, spend the second half allowing the opposition to complete an endless procession of short passes, and come out on top when the other team just barely misses a last-chance shot at a win.

It was friggin’ spooky.

I just saw on Early Today, that Tom Brady is on the ledge of his hotel room threatening to jump (Which is much nicer than any hotel in Buffalo). Giselle is currently trying to talk him off the ledge.
