Stupidest Reason you have heard, why the Giants will win - Page 2 - New England Patriots Forums

A reason that make me go huh? Manning has been the best qb in the playoffs. Ok, he hasn't thrown a pick. In three games he's thrown 4 TD's. Does anyone seriously think he's going to outplay TFB?

I din't rip off anything. The question was "the dumbest reason you have heard" His took the cake. But I've also heard similar variations of this sentiment from many other people (i.e. "how can you bet against 10 straight road wins?")

Because the 2007 Giants are identical to the 2001 Patriots, and the 2007 Patriots are identical to the 2001 Rams.

After watching the America's Game film on the 2001 Patriots, I find this one much less funny. Apparently, Belichick used the fact that the Patriots had only lost to the Rams by 7 to great effect, and Lawyer Milloy talked about how the Patriots' locker room was jubilant after the game, even though they lost, because they had proved they could play with the best team in the NFL.

So, I'm not quite ready to dismiss this one yet.

Lincoln Kennedy on Rome is Burning:

Giants will win because they are familiar with the Pats having just played them.

This is the one that really makes me laugh.

In the Pats two playoff games they have been kneeling on the ball with a two score advantage.

On those same weekends the Giants have had one game come down to the wire, and were it not for Crayton slowing down, the boys would have won.

The next game was an overtime game where Lord Favre looked more interested in hitting the showers then hitting his receivers.

How is barely winning two weeks in a row hot (one game overtime), and the Pats kneeling with a two score advantage not playing well???

Because the pressure of going undefeated will get to the Pats

Because the Patriots are overrated.
