blah.....blahblah...blahblah.......

The Chargers just intercepted Brady 3 times and held the Pats to 21 points. Do you even watch football?

I just want your honest opinion. Do the Chargers have a better D than the Giants?

Any given sunday. The Giants have the better pass rush and in my opinion the better coordinator. Who knows what will happen

I think what you meant was 21 points + 9 minutes.

they also got stomped.

The Chargers had 30 INT in the regular season, the NYG had 15.

Only from the ends. The Chargers have Merriman, Castillo, Williams, Phillips... all were neutralized.

Dallas averaged 33 pts/game over the first 12 games...care to guess what they averaged in December? 15 pts/game. Tony Romo threw 4 tds and 5 ints in December.

GB looked good down the stretch averaging close to 30 pts/game, albeit they played the Raiders, Rams, Bears, and Lions. Powerhouses, all of them. They lost to the Bears, hmm, cold and windy in that game too.

I have no retort for the Seahawks, GB owns them in the playoffs at Lambeau. Good win by them.

Look, I'm not saying the Giant's D is bad, but I'm also not saying that they are world beaters. They went out and won those games and deserve to be in the SB. I just think that they really don't match up well against the Pats, especially when weather will be a non-factor.

The Patriot offense is the best in the NFL history and when it is on its game in weather neutral conditions nobody can stop them. But the Giant D is much better than the "351 points allowed" may indicate. After the Pats blew out Pitt this season, brady had some interesting comments about the Steeler D. he said they were overrated despite their #1 ranking because in order to pressure the pocket they had to blitz. He said truly elite defenses pressure with only 4 and drop 7 into coverage, and those are the Defenses that present him with the biggest challenge. As an example he gave Freeney and Mathis with the Colts. The Giants more than qualify in that regard, with the best and deepest pass rushing D-line in football, IMO much better than the overrated Carolina Panther D-line of SB 38.

I've follow giants all season aand their d-line is grosly overrated. They don't pressure the pocket as well with their front 4, as we have been lead to believe In fact they dial up alot of exotic blitzes (ex: they ran corner blitzes against the packers) and giants fan have been calling for Osi head all season.
