They know we will come out with a new chip on our shoulder next season.

We better............. we play MUCH better with a chip on our shoulder.

We better............. we play MUCH better with a chip on our shoulder.

the chip next year will be the smear campaign during superbowl weekend this year.

Way too early to be putting any odds on returning. We don't even know if Moss, Samuel will be on the roster next season.

IMO, this was our best shot at winning it all. There is way too much game tape out there now that teams will be studying/preparing their draft boards to counter our strengths.

Next year will be much tougher.

But the Patriots will have that same film, too.

Didn't we have one from last year?

Speaking of losers. Wouldn't it have been perfect if Tom Petty did "Even The Losers" during the half-time?

"Baby even the losers
Get lucky sometimes
Even the losers
Keep a little bit of pride
They get lucky sometimes"

They sure did.

Would anyone be the least bit surprised to see the Giants not even make the playoffs next year? I wouldn't...
