NYG-NE: Super Bowl Fever

by Tim on Jan 20, 2008 11:07 PM CST in News

I've refrained from posting my postseason thoughts here on BRB, primarily because I try to keep focused on your Houston Texans and, you know, we haven't really been to the playoffs yet. No more. A few thoughts on the 2007 playoffs as we await the New York Giants-New England Patriots rematch for the whole enchilada:

I really thought the Colts were the best team in the NFL this year.
I was terribly, terribly wrong.
I truly dislike Phillip Rivers. To the point that it was really hard to root for the Chargers today, despite the fact that I want to see the Pats lose.
Man...a Green Bay Super Bowl appearance would've been awfully sweet. But the Giants completely outplayed Favre & Co. tonight and deserve to head to Arizona.
More on this later, but I've been a staunch Eli critic since he pulled that draft day stunt to force a trade out of San Diego. Righteous indignation aside, can I really bet against him when the Giants are getting nearly two (2) TDs?

Feel free to share your Super Bowl and/or postseason thoughts in the Comments below.

re:

#3 & 5 -- But it would have been fun to have a Chargers-Giants SB....if only because all those draft-day hijinks would have been replayed and discussed for 2 full weeks. Yep, that is actually the only reason.

#4 -- No shit. Aside from that 90-yd TD to Driver, the Green Bay offense couldn't really sustain any forward movement of the ball.

We can be critical of the draft picks, but in the end we always support the new Texan.

re:

I admit I wanted to see the Pack in the Bowl, but, man, hey looked like shit. Favre was his usual gunslinger (TM John Madden) self, and he paid the price. He wasn't accurate, and the Giants were kicking ass on the d-line. It was pwnag3, pure and simple.

That aside, it's just a matter of time before Eli blows up.

Re: Eli

Completely agree about Eli, but I keep expecting it to happen and it hasn't. Now, I just want one more controlled, efficient performance from Lil' Peyton in two weeks. A channeling of his efforts against the Pats from the last game of the regular season would make the Super Bowl unbelievably entertaining.

Looking forward to a day when being a Texans fan doesn't mean that April is the highlight of my season...

Dancing in Bean Town

The m'fuckers are fixin to Waltz, Moonwalk, Charleston, Roger Rabbit, and Humpty Dance thier ass to another Super Bowl win. I give the Giants the same chance I give myself of ever doing Jessica Alba, Jessica Simpson, and Jessica Biel at the same time. There's always a possibility - but its unlikely.

Shakin 'em off one win at a time... In Schaub we trust.
