The Giants WERE the team I most wanted to see in the Superbowl if only to shut up all the mediots who think they have some f*cking mind meld on the Pats. They would have been by FAR the easiest of the the 4 final NFC teams had the beaten the Pack. But they didn't, and I will ban, block or otherwise ignore forever any mediot who dares to say the Pats dodged a bullet by not having to play the Giants'
As for the rest, I can't understand the reason for this 8 page thread. Who the Pats play in the superbowl (assuming we get there) is a full month away. It's not like the story lines are going away, in fact most of the story lines will change over the next 2 games. So this thread is a massive wasted of energy and will mean nothing UNLESS the Pats meet up with the Packers, and even if it happens so much will have changed between today and then.
In the meantime we will face a team with a large number of great individual defensive players and an offense with many more "brand name" offensive sikill players than we have on our own team. Certainlly more than enough to fullfill any "on any given Sunday" threat. And should we survice that, we have an even MORE difficult game before we even can start to THINK about what the NFC has instore for us.
Lets get back to the program. Lets have the same mental discipline as our team. Let us lock in on the next challenge ahead, and turn off the "noise" from the mediots who are full on with their "tomato can" litinany because if the Pats should fail, it will provide them with the easiest story lines. They have already declaired that anything less than a superbowl win would be an EPIC FAIL, and thuse already taking luster off whatever this team accomplishes. Can't you hear Shank and Felger's rant this off season. "Yeah they won, but the league sucked this year"
