The official 2007-08 NFL thread

If I were a Patriots fan, I wouldn't feel comfortable in the least. The Giants went into two stadiums which is arguably two of the toughest places to play and came out with wins. They did exactly what the Steelers did a couple of seasons ago, and they came out the other side as Super Bowl champions.

No way I'm ready to crown the Patriots the champs yet. I think it'll happen, but if the Giants win, I won't be surprised.

I just remember at the week 17 game, the pats fan sitting near me were biting their nails until the end.

Really?  They weren't cracking up at Coughlin's inexplicably bad clock management?

I'm not entirely sure that the Giants were shooting to kill at the end of that game.  I think Coughlin got what he wanted: some momentum, confidence, and organization.  He didn't see any need to try particularly hard to spoil the Pat's fun at that point.

Well, they may have more momentum..they just dont have the WR's, QB, and OL they do.
But no doubt what the Giants have done is amazing. And remember, 10 straight road wins!
Like I said, as long as they make a fight out of it (and I do think they will) even if they lose....I dont even know what else to ask for.
Before the season I believe most TV anylisists were predicting a 6-10 season, and Tom Coughlins head would be on a plate.

And....he DID make the 47 yarder that counted. Longest ever in Lambeau Post season history???
Go G-men

Holy crap, that is so freakin' hysterical 

For a minute I thought it was one of the local Dallas sports talking heads.  At least Adolf can wear his T.O. jersey next year after all.

Oh man, tomorrow my mother's charity is holding a charity dinner which will be attended by many New York Giants.  From the top of my head, I know that the following are going: Eli Manning (QB), Brandon Jacobs (RB), Plaxico Burress (WR), Michael Strahan (DE), Justin Tuck (DE), Gibril Wilson (SS), and Jared Lorenzen (QB).  So, I will be chilling out with THE G-MEN!  I am SO EXCITED. 

I just found out how many guys will be there a few hours ago.  Up till then I just knew that Gibril Wilson and Brandon Jacobs would be there.  But holy crap, I am really excited, as these really are most of the best of the team.  

IDK if pics will be taken, they probably will.

And I love Tuck too, especially after that contract extension
