18-0; and the Disprespect Card is back

[BelichickFan]

The guys on FSNE are right. We're 18-0 but the team that loves to be disrespected is right back where they want to be.

- The Giants' black suits for the funeral.
- Burress' "prediction"; did you see the look on Brady's face about scoring only 17 ?
- The media saying the Giants have momentum.
- The media saying Eli has been the best QB in the playoffs this year.

We couldn't have asked for a better week. The Disrespect Card is back for real. Harrison will walk off the field saying "We were 18-0 but no-one thought we could do it".

We have our own Rodney - and he LOVES this card.

So true! I love Rodney.

 

[shmessy]

I don't get it also.

The Giants beat two freakin' NFC TEAMS the past two games by 3 points and 4 points.

The Pats beat two AFC teams by 9 and 11 points.

Why is it that the Pats are limping into the Super Bowl and the Giants are on some hot roll? The SB will be the first time the Pats have gotten a chance to play in perfect weather conditions since Week 9 of the season.

You're exactly right - - the media is beating that drum since last Sunday. It's incomprehensible.

 

[BelichickFan]

I don't get it also.

We don't have to get it - as long as the team feels that chip. It's funny, around midseason Felger was joking about how the team could be undefeated and Harrison would still say "no-one thought we could do it"; well here we are, STILL undefeated and there is some legit disrespect going on. We aren't really an 18-0 team, we're a decent team the just happens to be 18-0

Giants beat 3 division winners on the road. And two of those division winners were the top seeds in the NFC and both had records of 13-3.

Patriots beat the third seed and the 5th seed at home. Both had records of 11-5.

The Pats as a whole have had the more impressive season. (for obvious reasons of course) But, the Giants have had the more impressive playoff run.

Yeah you can argue the NFC is weaker and that you cannot choose who you play etc.

the 11-5 teams may be tougher than the 13-3 ones was part of the original posters point

 

[makewayhomer]

But, the Giants have had the more impressive playoff run.

arguable. I think Jags + Chargers > Cowboys + Green Bay

also, the Giants were outplayed by the Cowboys

Tampa Bay???? Lost at home to Jacksonville, and would get killed by SD.

The Cowboys? We beat 'em by 20+ points in their buiding.

The Packers? C'mon, be truthful. Were they real?

Look, what the Giants have done is impressive, winning tight games on the road against NFC teams.

Please tell me why the 18-0 Patriots are the team with no momentum.

My point EXACTLY. We're 18-0. Got that ? You know, NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE. And, yet, you try and come up with all this slop after winning - hold the presses - 3 in a row. Yep, disrespect is back BABY.

 

[hambone1818]

I particularily love the 'Giants have the momentum' talk that's come out of this week. Um, last I checked one team hasn't lost in 375 days--18 straight wins in all--and that team ain't named the Gints.

Honestly, I LOVE all this ridiculous talk...I get a kick out of it, and it serves as nothing but a motivational tool for the Patriots. In 5 days it'll all be over, and we can get back to talking about this as the best team ever.

 

[QuinielaBox]

Must be all the jealousy and wanting to see a Boston team lose a critical game thing. Maybe the rest of the country is sick of the Big Heads from the

"M*******S"

Too bad, America, I am proud to be a M*******!

I personally think that ending the game by holding the ball for over 9+ minutes against one of the best defenses in the league, and which was not the injury ravaged part of SD, was a very impressive way to win that game, but it has been overlooked. So Brady didn't put up impressive numbers - it was below freezing with 25 mph winds, for crying out loud. But that game-ending drive, which didn't even score points, was the most important drive of the game and I think impressive in its raw power. It's old-school football. Defense and pound the running game at them, which they're helpless to stop. I think it made a powerful statement, which is easy to overlook with the Eli feel-good story (who no doubt has been playing well and deserves to be there). And the week before Brady was 26-28 and Maroney had 122 yards. How more impressive is that?

I think the underdog-Manning thing is the better story, so we're hearing a lot about it. But to think the Pats playoff victories were not impressive is wrong. Both Jacksonville and San Diego were on huge runs and had huge momentum and were both very good and difficult teams to beat - describing them by their seedings ignores the quality of both those teams. We did so handily (meaning by at least two scores). I'm not into comparing things like this, so I'm not saying they were more impressive than the Giants. I'm just saying they were not less so, either.

And not just that, but also very impressive in that it was such a radical change of gears...not just an "adjustment"...offensively speaking. No other team in the lague could have gone from a passing offense to that smash mouth running game....'cept the Pats!

 

[billikens]

I have also heard a lot about the Giants 10 game road winning streak, which is certainly impressive. But they lost, what, like 6 games at home this season? How impressive is that? I know we were talking about the post-season, but when talking about the road winning streak, I think it is fair to mention the home losing streak (.250) this year. The question is, which Giants team will show up Sunday (and don't give me Pats are the home team, etc. It is a neutral stadium and, if anything, more people want the underdog Giants to upset the Pats).

 

[Keegs]

don't most playoff teams have to win 2 or 3 in a row to get to the Superbowl?

i mean, i thought that's how it went.

I guess....you could say that SuperBowl teams have momentum.

But that's like saying football players are strong.

 

[NEPatriot]

pats goes for 18-0 and somebody in media don't think pats is the BEST. They don't even think TB is the greatest QB.
colt won 1 SB and media declared they are the best.
Giants is in SB and somebody in media think EM is the BEST QB and Giants players and other media think they can defeat Pats.?

what the hell is wrong with these people.?

i can't wait to see some good report cards from these people about Pats next week.

Yeah, people are still questioning how great Brady is. Has everyone forgot the fact that he was already won THREE SUPER BOWLS!!! No other active quarterback has even been in three super bowls, much less won more than one. And only a handful every have one 3 or more. Last year, with no receivers, in hostile territory, Brady came within 1 minute of the title game. But 3 super bowls, for crying out loud. What more do you have to do? (oh, I know, have a perfect season).
