It might seem like a minor observation, but every interview or photo of Brady I have seen since last week has shown him to look unusually relaxed. I know he's done all this superbowl stuff before and he's probably the coolest cat on the planet right now but I keep coming back to something Sal Paolantonio said on Monday about the Patriots.....That in all the time he's covered them, this is the most relaxed he's ever seen them.

I cannot see the Giants winning this game even for a moment. I have thought it was going to be close. I'm starting to think that this game has the makings of a Patriot blowout.......

I just hope they aren't overconfident. They have all been acting this way all week. It makes me very uncomfortable. They haven't won yet, they should be all stressed and playing their cards close to their vests.

Both have the same effect, but Manning transcends measurable human intellect while Brady merely chooses a different play.

They did that for 18 games to get to this one. I think these guys are focused but they are trying to stay loose and not put any more pressure on themselves than they need to. I've heard enough comments lately from some of the players to know that the pressure did get to them. Bruschi and Harrison both mentioned how "tight" they were in week 17. They admitted a little pressure did get to them in that game. They were probably a little wound up the last two games too. One loss and their season would have been over. Now they have reached the Super Bowl. There is no other game to worry about but this one. Why not relax and focus on the upcoming game? I'm glad that they are loose.

they know the drill! and those that dont, i'm sure are spoken to by the rest! they will be ready

the reason they are all relaxed, imo, is because the last time they played them they were screwing around. they know that if they play for real it will be humiliation.

Cheers to that!

I think people are right, they don't want to be so stressed they peak before the game.

yea ive noticed how happy the whole team looks including coach bill..i love seeing them extremely happy & excited..the only person i was nervous about was moss before i saw him but when he started crackin jokes & laughing that made me really excited..

We want the team loose. When they are tight, they don't play as well.

Besides, wasn't the big thing all year long how much pressure we were under to go undefeated and how "loose" the other teams were going to be? Being loose is a good thing.

I'm sure they are not kicking back in practice.
