After rewatching the game tonight:

- We had 4 turnovers (Brady forcing a ball to Gronk with Welker open 5 yards underneath him, Brady strip-sacked (Boley beat Light), Edelman fumbled a punt return, and I missed the first INT).
- Brady was forcing the ball to Ocho
- Brady was generally off target on a lot of throws early on, he really got rolling late though
- Stupid penalties (Arrington PI set up a Giants score late in the 4th, Sergio Brown (Who with any luck won't sniff the field) PI on the goal line with 26 seconds left)
- Injuries (Chung hurt his foot, Spikes got injured) forced Brown, Guyton, and White into action in the 4th quarter, two of those players were directly responsible for the game winning TD, White in coverage, Brown on the PI at the goal line. Without those 2 playing, there was a good chance NYG settles for a FG or simply fails to score.

If we can eliminate one INT and the ST Turnover (which gave NYG the ball at our 10, they scored the next play I believe) we win by 10 probably, despite the injuries.

Edit: I want to see Tom throw the ball away in the SB if he has to. In the NYG and Ravens games if he didn't have what he wanted, he threw it anyways. He threw about 3 of his INTs doing this: Forced to Gronk vs NYG, forced to Edelman vs Ravens, forced to Slater vs Ravens.

Any possible chance Ocho will be a factor in the Super Bowl? Thoughts?

I just cant understand how that ***** Manning has had success. Every time he throws when there's pressure he turns and chucks it, and it lands. He looks like a high school QB with his scrawny frame and limp wristed throwing style.

He's not beating us again, not happening.

The Giants were without Nicks and Bradshaw, and Tuck was hurt and was not playing like he is now.

I understand trying to find angles in our favor, but the bottom line is what happened that game will have no bearing on this game.

Both teams are much better than they were during the week 9 matchup.

I agree. The Giants probably more so.

But I would ask my Giants-fans friends this: The Patriots committed *4* turnovers and two ghastly penalties that led to NY touchdowns. There were four fumbles in the game and three of them were recovered by NY (causing a fumble is a skill; recovering one is mostly luck of the bounce). Gostowski missed a 27-yard FG. All that happened and the Giants barely won.

Do you (to my friends) think that all that will happen again? Why?

I agree the teams are much better then in W9, and I think we enter this game playing pretty much the same level. I think that if Brady is a little more patient and has a good to very-good game, I think we win going away. I just think we are a better football team.

I am concerned about Gronk's ankle though. Not that he won't play.... He will. But he may be pretty limited. That will hurt us.

That turnover was nullified actually because Arrington picked if off in the endzone, so the Giants didnt score. It was still something sloppy and hopefully he doesnt pull a Kyle Williams again.

He'll be activated for the game considering the only reason he was out of the Pats game is because he missed a bunch of walkthroughs and practices because of the death of his father. Like Gronk, there's no way you're keeping 85 out of this game.

Did you not see that second Brady INT in the AFCCG? They still haven't gotten that out of their system.

Maybe Josh has more of a say to over rule any stupid playcall like that boneheaded one.....
