I'd rather get shot with projectile vomit than watch gridiron football. It doesn't deserve to take any sport's name.

Go Red Sox.

To get back on track, the Pats can do it as long as Brady doesn't get hurt.

I think the Pats can do it, but I don't think they will. They were set to smash the Eagles on Sunday, just like they smashed everybody else other than the Colts, but the Eagles almost had it. People are going to see that, and especially how it happened, and they'll be using that in the future. The Patriots will probably take the Super Bowl, but they'll lose at least once along the way.

Screw the Pats. Go Cleveland!

Have you ever tried to get a bunch of your friends together and play a game? It can be really good fun, just like the other kind of football.

In US football it's more than just crashing into the other guy. It's trying to imagine a way that you can trick the other team into not being able to crash into you, or to read the team's play so you can crash into them earlier. It's being able to read 5 to 30 yards of field for an open receiver, all the while trying to make sure the rushing defenders don't crash into you. It's making you wonder if they're going to take it on the ground this time, was that hand off just a play action? or which route are the receivers going to run.

But yes, watching large tank-like men crash into each other can be quite entertaining when it's a good crash.

I wonder if they want to play that in the snow and call it a winter sport, maybe one day, millenniums from today, it can be included in the winter Olympics. I really like the show, Torino was amasing, I don't know why but i like to watch ski jumping and biathlon. I even got the game lol.

Seconded!

Also, I have gotten into American football a bit this year and I hope the Pats go all the way without a loss... it may not happen, but the fact that I care enough to want it to is shocking enough for my system to handle in one season.

Well here's the latest, the Pats next 4 teams are the Steelers, Jets, Dolphins and the Giants.  Other than the Steelers, the other 3 shouldn't be a problem for the Pats.

I think the Steelers have a chance to do it as close as the last two teams were to beating the Pats. Since they're leading the division though, I'd like to see the Steelers lose so the Browns can get bumped up. As long as the Dawgs don't play like they did in Arizona the other day they'll be fine....

So we're only one game away from a perfect season. Unlike the Dolphins of old, these Patriots play football in the era of the salary cap and a season that's longer by a few games. They've really come a long way.

But the New York Giants, underdogs by every meaning of the word, undefeated in their last 10 away games, will be playing away again in Glendale in Super Bowl 42. Go Giants!
Title: Re: 16-0????
Post by: Towlie on January 23, 2008, 04:32:50 PM
I wouldn't think of them as under dogs I  think they are even money not from vegas though
Title: Re: 16-0????
Post by: sudanor on January 25, 2008, 04:42:21 PM
How could the Giants NOT be the underdogs? They're not coming into this game with a perfect season and nobody on their team has broken any touchdown records this season. Statistically, the Patriots should pound the Giants into 1972.
Title: Re: 16-0????
Post by: Allama on January 25, 2008, 05:51:15 PM
I'm not so sure about that, actually.  This is going to be a grudge match; last time the Pats met the Giants they barely had the strategy and skill to win, and I think the Giants have gotten their strategy together a little more since then.  They have a shot at it, I must say (despite rooting for the Patriots).
Title: Re: 16-0????
Post by: Bender1968 on January 25, 2008, 09:22:37 PM
The Vegas line has the Giants as 12 point underdogs.  I don't think the Giants are that bad, but can't stand rooting for either team(I'm a hard core Jets fan!!)

before week 17 i would have agreed but i think they might have the right wepons in the right places to make this one of the better Superbowls (and biggest upsets?) in a long time i am almost sure this will be a 1 possession game it will come down to 1 big play or 1 slip up. two team with the fire to win the pats want the ring and the perfect season and the g-men not wantin to be the foot note in history and to overcome the week 17 lose. its gonna be a great game

Post by: sudanor on January 26, 2008, 11:11:06 PM
I'm not saying it's not going to be good. I'm not even saying the Giants don't have a chance. They were one of the closest teams to beating the Patriots all season. I'm just saying that if you compare the stats, the Giants are definitely underdogs by the very meaning of the word.

I would have rather seen the Browns at the Super Bowl, but I doubt they could have beaten the Pats in the playoffs anyway. And the Browns did play a pretty nasty game the last time they were in Glendale anyway.

This should be a good one though, and I'm very glad I don't work Sundays :)

i'll say

not to mention the fact that football is fun to play...

I played all through high school, but after i tore my ACL in my senior year, i haven't picked up a football again *sob, sniff*

I hate the Pats. I am a loyal Buffalo Bills fan and to root for any other team that plays in the AFC East is pure treason!!

Patriots stink!!

I have the Patriots at -12.5 in several pools.

In reality, I have the Patriots at -21 for XLII. The Giants played their absolute best in Week 16 and the Patriots played...not so great and still managed to win the game. The Giants' secondary is far from impressive and on offense I doubt Brandon Jacobs gets past 80 yards.

Patriots 41-17.

The Patriots may have better stats but, the Giants want it more. I mean they haven't won a super bowl in a while and they want to kick the Patriots a**. They are getting too cocky and I hope the Giants sack stupid Tom Brady HARD. 
Title: Re: 16-0????
Post by: Bender1968 on January 28, 2008, 02:19:34 AM
The Giants played a bad game against the Pats on the last game of the season.  The Giants have been playing much better during the playoffs to prove something to themselves.  The Pats are a much better team overall. 

The Pats over the giants between 3 and 7 points.

Post by: Ryazania on February 03, 2008, 03:52:15 AM
Are you kidding? That was about the best game the Giants could have. Brady was getting poor protection in the pocket and performed subpar compared to the rest of his season. The Pats' LB corps also didn't look themselves that day.

The Patriots want it more. They want to be the BEST ever.

The Patriots will win. /thread
