He certainly did, but as it was said...in a close game every mistake counts. The Ravens penalty (offside I think) that took a way a pick, the flacco INT. And the horrid final two mistakes of course. Any one different and maybe a different outcome, it's what I love so much!

Also LOL  I guess it's good Jerry Jones realizes the problem, but will he realize that he IS the problem!? Well, a large part of it at least.

BUMP

Poor Andrew Luck...if what MoM says is any accurate that kid is doomed already!

Also posted to my FB before the 2008 SB and how appropriate:


The updated 2012 meme-ier version

While I was sure this would not be case, I gotta say it seems pretty clear now Peyton isn't returning.
Especially now that the "decision" was made weeks ago and no one seems to actually know about it. If it's yes it's yes all these shenanigans can only mean one thing.


Wow I never knew that either.
Well, Arians certainly has lucked out by getting himself involved with 2 big name QBs thus far, and I did hear that Ben is supposedly pretty upset about the departure. Guess everyone disliked Arians except the big man himself.
Maybe he'll develop the kid well, or maybe Luck won't really need him and Arians can benefit again from "raising" another star.

Just crazy how this all went down, we've all said for years the Colts need to fix their problems and they just let it go, and due to an injury took the chance to slash, burn and rebuild. Just unusual, and feels kinda classless from the team with a pretty good rep. I digress.

As I've said before, OC seems to be a pretty weak position anyway. Cam Cameron is pretty disliked but shall keeping his job and Kevin Gilbride will obviously be staying. He's lucky we got a QB that can constantly convert 3rd and 8+ and has gotten a handle on his complex offense. Seriously, the Pats seems to run the same 5 plays all game while the Giants allow their receivers to run like 3 routes themselves. I believe Cruz has free will to pretty much run where he wants, alot of sh*t to read and throw accurately to in 3 seconds!

So, Cam Newton waits untill the Pro Bowl to play like I expected him to play all year: terrible?  Don't worry fellow haters; he'll struggle next year.

Last night for superbowl predictions...whatcha got gents?

It's certainly unnerving having things seem so right for the Giants. Not only does it make ripe atmosphere for the upset (even though the Pats are technically favored) the Giants have a terrible history of blowing it when things are going well

Only good thing is they are on a roll and I'm sure focused.

Things look good for a  Giants win and I think it's because of plus matchups:

-Giants offense vs Pats defense: Giants major advantage. Their coverage is just not good and don't get much pressure. Given the play of Eli under major pressure and with the deep ball, (and overall play) this looks good.

-Pats offense vs Giants defense: Whew, that's a nail biter but I will give a slight advantage Giants since they played so well against the Falcons, Packers and surprising Niners offenses. Also Brady doesn't seem as invincible as past years.

It is Tom Brady though, I'm hoping and expecting a good game.  If we lose thanks to BS I'll bitterly accept defeat but if it's an honest win well, what can ya do?  May the better team win Pat.

Go G men

No need to over analyze these teams......ESPN does a great job of dissecting every angle, nook and cranny of the teams........I have major SB overload and the coin has not been tossed yet.

Wow. Combine this thread with hearing the experts talk I'm almost fearful with all the Gmen love. Part of me likes it, part of me doesn't. I'll say this though, it will probably be close, it will probably be a nail biter, but damn would I love to see it be a huge blowout for the giants. Too many heart attack games thus far.

Every one is taking the Giants!  So i take the Patriots! by 10.
