#26 Posted: 7/1/2012 6:13:11 AM I can acknowlege a good team when I see one. Rationalizing why the Giants didn't deserve to win the title is lame. Poor regular season and divisional record, benefitting from competition injuries, got hot at the right time, opponents miscues, luck, fixes, etc..... are just excuses to avoid accepting the truth.
Of course they aren't one of the greatest SB champs of all time but good teams win big games. Don't let the almighty dollar and bias blind you into thinking that the Giants can't have a respectable 2012 campaign.  |

Because they had an incredibly lucky run to the superbowl, starting with the fact that they wouldn't have even made the playoffs if Jason Garrett hadn't iced his own kicker against the cardinals and every fumbled ball seemingly bounced their way.
Almost every NFL champion has luck along the way, but the giants had more than their fair share of it.

"Yes, a team who got swept by the Redskins, embarrassed by the Seahawks at home, had a 4 game losing streak in the middle of the season (including a loss at home to Vince Young), was CLEARLY the best team in the NFL."
And yeah, Eli Manning is SO good because he averaged about 20 points a game in the postseason...gee what an incredible player. The defense won the super bowl for them again and Eli made a couple of clutch passes.
This team will be lucky to win 7 games this year
Idiots

If that's not lucky, I don't know what is.

#32 Posted: 7/10/2012 10:30:35 AM , giants 9-7 lose to washington twice and just about beaten by san fran but for one players blunders
, PATS didnt beat a team over 500 in regular season lucky to havve faced Denver in first game and having the Ravens out play them should have lost if not evans drop
the NFL playoff stucture sucks you dont have to be great to win a super bowl you don't even have to be good to have a chance , look at ARIZONA acouple of years back an 8-8 team that was 2 minutes away from winning it
it luck you only have to win 3 or 4 games to win the super bowl
get rid of pre season and 2 games of regular season and have 2 out of 3 series in champ game and super bowl to make super bowl legit, and playoffs more exicting . |

There will always be wildcards cause it's the only fair way to give underacheiving teams a reason to play hard and keep games interesting. IMO, that Cards/Steelers SB was as good as it gets.
"it luck you only have to win 3 or 4 games to win the super bowl"
That makes very little sense.

How do you expect teams to evaluate and prepare their newer players? If a team is really great, they shouldn't need more than 1 game to settle a conference championship or SB. Get real dude. |

I guess the Giants making plays had nothing to do with it 
Jason Garret icing the kicker 
So, if the Pats won SB ,,they would have been lucky because Cundif missed a chip shot.......
The giants made plays.....If all Giants post season opponents were up 2-3 scores late,, 1-2 ( Lucky )or ( Made) plays would not have determined the game...
End of story...

Since you forgot, they were the best team in the NFL that year until Plaxico shot himself leaving Domik Hixon as the #1 WR. That was the year the Giants went into Pittsburgh and roughed up the Steelers, |

Eli is in his prime is and is a TOP QB in the NFL, Giants offensive just got way more explosive with the rookie David Wilson, defense is coming back, Giants will be making the playoffs and it doesn't matter what seed. I like their chances, espcially with Eli at the helm. |

#43 Posted: 7/15/2012 8:46:22 AM If I were to gamble on a super bowl future. I would bet on 2 teams in the NFC and 2 teams on the AFC.
AFC: Ravens Steelers
NFC: Giants Packers |

A lot of cash to put on the Gmen to repeat Jerseyboy. Maybe you should of spread out that grand amoung season total wins, conference championship and the SB victory.
