Go Pat's
 

Thanks Don!
 

Lot's of good fans on both sides of this years game. It should be fun.

Any year that 2 excellent teams wind up in the Super Bowl makes for a great game and the fans are the winners!

No Question About Two Awesome Teams
 

That showed they deserve to play it out in the XLVI!!

However, with the will of Coach Bill Belichick, Tom Brady and Team New England Patriots, I wouldn't be at all surprised to see them pull together and win!!.. There is something about not coming from a perfect season, that adds some salsa and other things to the mix. I hope the Gronk gets well soon, and can play in this game too! He sure deserves to!

The Gaints win by 6+.:)

Giants in overtime by 3

Brady and the Pats eat the Giants alive 35-10

I agree with Winnisquamguy and won't be happy with anything less than a Denver-style spanking of the NY Dwarfs.
Keep in mind that NY took the SB,last time,on what amounted to a "hail mary" pass.....they did the same thing to San Fran.Don't think it's going to happen again.

What's up with this???
 

Don,

In years past we had to link our posts to the lake region!! like starting the post with: Where is a good place at the lake to watch the supper bowl? Then we could go into our real posting reason. Like the Pats will spank the Giants ect. I see in your post you "did not link to the lake!"

What happened to that Forum rule????? :D:D

It must be nice to be the Site master!!:D


Just kidding Don. Thanks to the place for us PATS fans to post.


ToW

From your lips to God's ears!!! Fingers crossed but think it is going to be a tough game for the Pats to win!

Brady 4 or Eli 2?
 

Why spend 3 to 4 hours watching the game when the last 5 to 10 minutes will decide it.

Being from Colorado and a huge Broncos fan I have no vested interest in either team, however I will say this in regards to their loss to the Pats, the reason why they were "spanked" is because they didn't show up to play at all. Anyone could have beat the Broncos that day. The pats barely won against the Jags just like the Giants barely beat the 49'ers. Could have just as easily been 9er's vs Jags.

My prediction on the game? Can't underestimate Belichick just when you think you got him figured out he pulls some brilliant play out at the right time that can be the difference maker. Since I think both teams in the end equal out, it's all about the coaching and there is no denying that Bill is the best coach the NFL has seen in a long time. Very slight edge to the Pats for this reason only. Should be a good game.

I just hope that the penalty calling doesn't get out of hand. I do like the new OT rule where each team gets at least one possession unless a touchdown is scored. That was long overdue.

Giants healthy
 

Giants are indeed a great team. For anyone who may be just a casual observer of the NFL, NY was hit with many injuries this past season, and they were not a truly healthy football team, until the final weeks of the season. They are now healthy, and truth be told, probably much "fresher" (for lack fo a better term) than the Pats.
I believe this game will be won/lost in one catagory...Pats O line, vs Giants D line. The Giants D line is tough, mean, rip your head off aggressive...
Light and Mankins simply must bring their A game, or Brady will have a problem. A real problem.
That being said...
It says here, that the Pats will score early, and Eli will make a key mistake late, as the Patriots win by 17.
Sorry Pineedles...not this year.
The brothers "Goober" have 1 Super Bowl a piece, and that's all they're getting.
"Ah, shucks Pa...."

????????
 

Jags????!!! How many Coors have you had out there?

Never count the Giants out until that final whisle blows!!!! My boys are hungry and healthy. If Brady plays the way he did against the Ravens, the Pats are in trouble. GO GIANTS!

I second that....thanks,Don

One of the reasons I think the Pats will crush the Giants is that the Giants have won 3 out of the last 4...Bill is not going to let it happen again. Besides they still have a bad taste in there mouth from the last time they played.Pats will be hungrier and it will show on the scoreboard.You are right Eli has had a lot of 4th quarter comebacks this year, but I just don't see it happening again.

To many apparently ;)

I just hope that next weekend we finally get some snow cause I'd rather be out riding the sleds than having nothing better to do than watch football.

ESPN is 3 miles from from my house. Somehow we can intercept all the sub-electrolysis broadcasts from their deep dish reverse network, informing us of all the subcutaneous info. Take it to the bank, Giants 24, Patriots 15.:coolsm:

Thank you Don ...
 

... for letting us break the rules about no sports to let us talk about the 46th Super Bowl. I've lived up here for more than 20 years and I'm still a GIANTS fan!

Go BIG BLUE!!!

Football heaven for me.

I was a Giants fan way back in the day. YA Tittle and Sam Huff were my heros. I know, that was a while ago.

Then came the AFL and the Boston Patriots. Attended the first ever AFL game at Nickerson Field at BU. I slowly transitioned into a fan of both teams, and that is where I am today.

I will admit, over the last 12 years the Pats are my #1, but Giants remain a close second. The game will also be close and enjoyable. I also really like those ads at $3.5mm for 30 seconds.

The Game
 

I'm with RESIDENT 2B. The Patriots are the home team now. When I was a kid, the Giants were the home team. Hoping for a close, exciting game. Nothing worse than a SuperBowl blowout.

In his house
 

I like the fact that Brady will be using Peytons locker as the Pats are the home team.Brady 4..Mannings 2.

correction
 

The "brothers goober" have 2...1 each. Just sayin'....

Can I vote twice? The Giants don't have enough votes.

Espn
 

I think the microwaves from their dishes are permeating the red corpuscles of your brain!:laugh::laugh:

Thanks.This goober is in full on space mode.:laugh:I guess I've still been trying to block that last one out.

Wasn't that the Super Bowl Yesterday
 

Well it looked like what football will be like after the Bradifcation of the league is finished. No tackling the QB because Little Tommy Boy might break a nail and don't think of touching WR .....they can only touch the DBs..You know like that push off by Branch against the Broncos....I know the Pats would have won that game anyways. And what ever happened to if the ball hitting the ground it not being a catch... Gronk....if he is such throw back he wouldn't have counted that TD either.

Go Giants......

Pats in a close one
 

Pats 30 - Giants 26. Take it to the bank. :D

Its funny that the rule about not touching WR's down field, was put in because the Patriots D was to rough on the Colts Wr's. back a few years ago.....

break this!
 

Yeah, he might break a nail....or, maybe one of his three Super Bowl trophies, or perhaps one of his two league MVP trophies, perhaps a plaque marking the occsion of throwing the most TD passes in a single season ever, or an award as the quarterback who has won the most post season games in his career (with several still left). yeah, you're right...he wouldn't want to break any of those things.
Pats in a cake a walk. Brady throws for 275, 2TDs, and wins another SB MVP. Brother goober throws multiple picks, and let's the D down.
"Aw shucks, Pa"

The Brady record
 

He threw for 4,000,000 yards last year! He was 99.99999999% for completions, last year. Yea Brady is a phenom, but what really matters is, what is his puss going to look like (and Kraft's), when he walks off the field beaten, by the GMen AGAIN?:laugh::laugh:

Will come down to who dictates to whom.

I'll go out on a limb and say 31-23, with a late NYG TD to make it interesting.

Gotta wonder what this game's allure is outside the i95 corridor.

Actually these rules were put in place, after the season that Peyton Manning and Indy did nothing but complain about how the other successful teams played them. Look it up. Especially when they played NE.
Peyton was the leader in this campaign
