It would probably be best if they they just rolled over and took it.



And don't do anything too crazy

Well thats true. But Im speaking about it more nationally and from a national type perspective. You as a Patriot fan see your team win 3 SB in 4 years, and then go 2 years without winning it, and start thinking what the dealio? We need to start winning SBs again. Every fan of their team would think that way. You have a certain expectation of them now. But nationally and from a wider perspective, if the Pats had had a regular 12-4 year this year, and lost in the conference title game in a hard fought game to the Colts again, say in Indy, no one is gonna really kill the Pats and say they choked. But they arent a 12-4 team. They are about to possibly be 16-0, and enter the playoffs unbeaten. They have displayed regular season dominance never seen. They are held to a whole higher standard now because of their success. They are a victim of that greatness

I think who is ever on the field for the Giants will play hard, but they don't have the team to keep up with the Pats. So if and when the Pats start to pull away I expect the Giant players to give a token effort. Up until that point they will play to keep us from going 16-0. I'm sure they feel that they are obligated to try and stop us, their honour is at stake. But it won't be enough to bring them a win.

I know, sorry. I was being sarcastic, like of course NFLN is promoting the hell out of this game, they're showing it.

Here's my take after reading the NYC papers on christmas morning.

The writers as fans really want the giants to go after the win, but they know better.

The Players are saying all the right things. We want to beat the Patriots. What else would they say? "We want to lose?"

I doubt that jacobs, burress and a couple of others who are injured will even suit up.

The Giants know that the Bucs started resting their players last week and are already game-planning for them.

The Giants also know that they are virtually undefeated on the road and that the Wild Card Game at Tampa Bay is a VERY winnable game for them.

If you saw any of Sunday's game in Buffalo, it was a tough, physical win for the Giants in the cold, rain, sleet and wind. The team was spent at the end.

Coughlin is still living game to game. Getting a key starter injured deep in the game, followed by another first round playoff loss, might be his ticket to ride.

While the upside of a win under these circumstances for Eli's confidence would be huge, playing a full game and getting beaten badly with a few more fumbles and INT's would result in a much greater downside for him.

Bottom line: the injured players won't suit up. Manning and the key staters will play a couple of series, probably no more than the first quarter.
