This is overblown. There's no way the Giants can go into a game overconfident against an 18-0 team. At the same time they have to maintain a certain level of confidence that permeates the team in terms of how the act and talk or they will be psychologically defeated before the game has even started.

Minus BB and Brady of course. That might be important.

I, like some on this board, had little respect for the Giants and Tom Coughlin. Through most of the year, they didn't exactly light it up.

But week 17 changed it all for me. TC had the balls to go for it, when it didn't mean anything. It was counter-intuitive, but it paid great respect to the Pats and the game of football! And somehow, this helped light a fire under their organization just at the right time. Now they're in the Super Bowl, with a legitimate shot at the Lombardi.

Fortunately, the Pats respect them for who they are and what they've accomplished. The Pats will be prepared; they will be ready for a war!

I think the Pats will win (maybe win big), but this Giants team deserves to be in Arizona. If they are overconfident, that's good for us.

This promises to be the biggest, grandest, most hyped, most watched Super Bowl in history. Bring it on!! Go PAts!

I hear them in all these interviews about how they would have won that week 17 game if they hadn't made a few mistakes. Go back and watch the game. The Pats had a TD celebration penalty that in all likelyhood gave them a TD they wouldn't have otherwise gotten. Not to mention that the Pats were up 10 with little over a minute remaining. The notion that it was a 3-pt game is totally disingenuous. I get nervous before all Pats game, if you check my posts you'll see that I thought the Chargers could have beaten us and was very nervous for Jacksonville. I have no worries about the Giants. None.

I was in Giants stadium that night and when Brady threw that record TD to Moss, most of the fans around our group (all Giants fans) knew at that point that the game was up...

In fact, many of them didn't even wait for the consolation drive by Eli... they were already streaming out of our section, shaking their heads..

No one, I repeat, no one there thought the Giants had a chance after Moss caught the ball... Their expressions said it all... We were, of course, jubilant..

I agree with the garbage TD that made the pats win by 3 instead of 10, but not the kick return. We brought that upon ourselves with a penalty, a ticky tacky penalty, but a penalty nontheless. One thing I know is that the Giants had every big momentum shift go their way, and they lost by a misleading 3 point margin. Their people got to Brady, we had no linemen, they had critical momentum swings, and we still won. They are overconfident, but whether they look bad because of it is yet to be determined. Hopefully they do end up looking dumb.

Tha penalty should not have been called. I still don't understand how they call that. It shouldn't have been a TD just because of that, but they wouldn't have gotten a TD without it. Never seen that penalty called in other games where teams celebrate way more.

That could be a bad sign Wildo did you ever think of that.

Chris Collinsworth said the "group celebration" was against the rules-meaning one guy can celebrate by doing his dancing or whatever, but they can't do it as a group as a whole.

Not sure if this is true or not.
