I never expected that the Mighty Patriots could get to the Super Bowl with Tom Brady tossing three interceptions. But as was written here a few weeks ago, they needed to get their running game going and they did. Lawrence Maroney was the difference in the game and Kevin Faulk was huge on third downs.
San Diego was tougher than many people expected. But being held to those field goals early in the game haunted them.
Good luck to you Giants fans. You’ve seen a different Eli Manning for about a month now and if he takes care of the ball the Giants can survive the cold and the Packers.
Who has the better shot to beat the Patriots, Packers or the Gints?
Hell of a leg whip/trip by Vrabel on the Samuel int. Unreal that the referee could be looking right at it and miss that penalty
Either way, the Pats would have won the game even if they called that penalty. It’s just unreal to me that a ref could actually miss a play like that
Buddy: I’m not sure anybody can beat them on a good surface. But maybe the Giants because they can get pressure on Brady.
Marc: There are missed penalties on every play in every NFL game. Vrabel was getting held like crazy by the tight ends. That stuff all balances out.
Buddy,
Both are scary for Pats fans. The “weak sister” conference actually has 2 good teams playing their best ball right now. I’d rather face the Cowboys.
But to answer your question, the Packers have a better chance because they have the better QB.
I bet the Giants are licking their chops after watching Brady struggle today. Wonder if they’ll look past the Pack?
Buddy,
Not even a cheerleader?
The Patriots winning is only slightly less distasteful to me than the Red Sox winning.
Screw the Giants. Go Pack!
Let’s go NFC
I am so glad I am nice and cozy inside
Buddy: To answer your question, my top choice right now is Fordham. I’ve also bookmarked Leeds and Durham, but Fordham’s really the one school where I’m like WANT. NOW.
I am still working on the application. I’m a lazy sod.
Not even a cheerleader?

Somehow I always miss their cute faces by being distracted by their pom poms.
Giants 13 Packers 9
Rebecca-
Would you get student housing at Fordham? You would be so close to Yankee stadium, you could get a job selling beer to make some extra cash.
Buddy–
A) I’m not sure. Worst comes to worst, my parents have been, erm, very generous, so I’ll live somewhere in the City. I am weighing the idea of finding somewhere in Manhattan and commuting, but I’m not sure yet. The idea of being so close to Yankee Stadium…oh man…
B) I went to the Jets-Bills game back on 9/30, with my friend, C, who is male and into men. We might have been the only two in the entire stadium NOT into the cheerleaders!
(oh, I have to actually get in, too)
Fran,
In answer to your question, what is the difference between the Eagles fans and the Patriots fans, well, let’s just say the Pats fans were civilized.
bare arms?
Oh dear…
Guys. Come on. I hate killing threads.
Living in Manhattan would be sweet! I used to live in Brooklyn.
GO PATS BABY!!!!!!
Every Sunday I look at the floor plans for various luxury living spaces in Manhattan. It’s fun.
Ok, off to a Obama house party, maybe I’ll catch the 2nd half of the game.
Jr. Seau’s tackle on 3rd & 2 was the turning point in the game….The Bolts are forced to kick a FG…..Key play…..I have been taking the dog the past 2 weeks and filling my wallet with Benji’s……Giant just may win this game outright…..Nice piece by SJ44 yesterday……
GO JETS!!! oh wait…
Pats were fortunate LT, NEAL, GATES & RIVERS were all hurt… With a healthy LT… Chargers score TDs, not kick FGs… PATS would have been tested. BUT… such is life.
Still, Pats hardly played championship football today.
SD had a QB w/ a torn acl, a hobbled TE, a 2nd string RB… and they still racked up the yardage. PATS offense basically had two productive drives… They dodged one today!
Big Jamal on defense was hurt as well… Hence the success in the running game.
PATS are having the greatest season ever… for sure. BUT, today just shows that they are far from being the best team ever… 80s Niners, 90s Cowboys would have scored some points today… OF COURSE, Pats are on that list of all-time greats… BUT, I wouldn’t say they were the best team ever.
Buddy B -
Seriously????
Rocco: Oh man, I am so with you
These receivers are dropping or missing way too many catchable passes. I understand it’s cold but this gut check time guys!
Steerlers of the 70′s ,,,,could be the best ever……Their Defense commonly shut teams out…..Pats win the Super Bowl, they’ll rightfully take their place as The Dynasty of the 00′s
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
I think that they are still cheaters and should forfeit first game.
I for one have no interest in visiting a Boston or New England site for reasons of trash talking and making an idiot of myself. It serves no purpose whatsoever,
I would hope that fans on those sites would do likewise. Bantering to use fact or slight disagreement is one thing – trash talking is another.
