I don't begrudge the Giants team themselves. It was a remarkable performance and one that I'm sure we'd all have appreciated much more if it didn't come at our expense. But the Giants still represent that moment in time when I hated everybody who dogpiled on the Patriots all season and got to have the last laugh, a moment that never stops being unfair to me. It also allowed NY fans to get their mojo back, and it wasn't long after that we saw the MFY win the WS. THAT is why I carry the grudge. The Giants were enablers of all this bad Boston sports baggage that we're carrying around today and I delight in seeing them CRUSHED at every opportunity.
This!
It wasn't just losing. It was losing when we could have made history as a perfect 19-0 team, with so much adversity and hate against us. It was a one-in-a-million $#@#$! damn lucky play against a NEW YORK TEAM. And they weren't even 15-1 or 14-2. They were a fluke 11-5. In other words, THEY WERE WHO WE THOUGHT THEY WERE!
So, yeah, crown their a****, but they were who we thought they were.
ANY SB win will definitely negate the sting of '07 but against the Giants would be doubly sweet.
And, yes, I've hated the Giants with a passion since then. Actually, I hated them before the SB, but REALLY hated them afterwards.
I still am really not over 2007. I think this is Coughlin's last year and I really want a rematch against them. I think that is the only way I will feel ok about it all. What do you guys think?
....I prefer to beat the best at their best in the biggest occasion there is. Every single person of elite performance thinks that way.
I would love a Pats/Giants rematch, especially if they spot us 28 points in the 4th quarter!
Seriously, a rematch, and a win, of course, would take away the sting a little bit. I don't think the G-Men are going to make the post season, though, after that debacle.
Don't forget Brady was wearing a boot until the super bowl.Actually they were 10-6. It was the day that all that could go wrong did go wrong. There is no other explanation. Matt Walsh....Arlen Spector....Giant D...Faulk hurt....Neal hurt...Tyree....
