Still trying to decide after last night if the Giants are that good or the Cowboys just that bad.

To answer your question, I think it is very possible.

Yes the Giants are that good (occasionally) and the Cowboys are that bad (frequently).

pherein 01-02-2012 04:22 PM

Very very good chance. Giants almost beat them last time. Its one of the teams the packers are afraid of.

on Any Given Sunday any team can win, just look what happened with us and the Rams...

Or even Seattle last season. Even with all the injuries, we beat that team 9 out of 10 times.

SmashMouth 01-02-2012 04:24 PM

Make it happen Eli!

papz 01-02-2012 04:48 PM

I think it's going to be a close game. Green Bay's defense has struggled all year and Eli has taken a step up this year. If Pierre-Paul and Tuck bring their A game, I can definitely see them taking it.

pumpkindriver 01-02-2012 05:15 PM

Can the Giants beat GB? Yes. Will they? It depends on which Giants team shows up. They have been so up and down. Talk about your Jekyll & Hyde teams, sheesh.

RaginCajun83 01-02-2012 05:18 PM

All I know is after rooting for the Saints, I'm the biggest Giants fan for the next two weeks

FinSaint 01-02-2012 06:36 PM

It would be nice if the Giants would be able to beat the Packers.... but on the other hand, I think that there are some old scores to settle and the honor of sending the Packers packing belongs to the Saints.

Also, beating the Packers in the Conference Championship game at their home stadium would quiet the Cheese-heads about which team is the best... at least in the NFC.

Sorry, but I seriously do not give a **** about what the cheeseheads say.

I WANT TO WIN THE SUPER BOWL AGAIN.

As Heath Evans says, period, the end. :-)

They looked like the put their 'serious' hat on against the Cowboys.

I almost said Cowgirls, but, out of respect for those here that are turned off.... Nevermind, Cowgirls.

I can't stand Jerry Jones. Gag.

Im with Fin. Our SB we killed 3 hall of fames QB's, no one can say we sneaked in. We earned it.

IF GB loses we can't control that, but Id rather Brees torch Arod, and smash the Pats to win a SB. Then Drew would have beaten. Brady,Rogers, Manning, Warner, Farve etc.. theres no doubt he's one of the best ever.

Sneaking in is kind of girly, won't stand up when hall of fame comes around

halloween 65 01-02-2012 09:44 PM

I with ya FinSaint, I live here and it would make me extremely happy to shut these cheese eaters up once and for all. I can say they are not talking it up the way they did at the start of the year, I think reality has fell on them and they want no part of us, it's not being said but you can tell. I want us to beat them in Packerland, it will give me a big smile on this face.

"Girlie", huh?

So, girls sneak around for advantage, is your point then?

I notice Darren Sproles 'sneaking' though big a$$ scary defenders legs and no one calls him "girlie".

Whatever, dude. A Super Bowl win is a Super Bowl win.

And, I bet you $50 bucks, if we win the big one this year, because the Giants knocked off the Pack, you won't be complaining about, or disparaging our performance, because we won the Super Bowl in a "girlie" way.

Euphoria 01-02-2012 09:51 PM

Funny how many people are scared of the Packers...

Cruize 01-02-2012 09:52 PM

The Packers O-Line is banged up. The Giants bring the pressure. It's not impossible. And yes, the Cowboys are bad.

Wanting to win the SB, and having the best chance possible to do that, does not equal scared.

If I evaluate the stats this year correctly, the best chance possible for us, is playing in the dome.

Funny how many people don't care about strategic advantage to win the game for all the marbles.

It is a gargantuan feat to win the Super Bowl, that implies both skill, execution and luck. To me, there is no reason not to want any advantage you can get. That's mostly why we played our starters against Carolina. When asked, the first thing Payton said was "There is still seeding at stake..."

The term is not gender specific. Its a common football term used. Not seeing many guys offended by the word "boy", so you might want to recalibrate the feminist meter.

and as I said, we don't control it, but I want GB, and the Pats, so Brees can go into the HOL. They will look at the weak teams we faced. Its why the 1978 Steelers were considered the best team ever. Theirs schedule was very tough, they deserved it.

just wanting to sneak into a SB is silly, and means little.

halloween 65 01-02-2012 10:13 PM

I relish the thought of us playing in cheeseland. Green Bay is the one that will need all the help they can get when we come to town. The only strategy will be McCarthy explaining to the media why we put an a$$ beatin' on them the way we did, and don't kid yourself Payton wants to show everyone who the man really is.

RaginCajun83 01-02-2012 10:14 PM

The Packers D is worse than the Saints just they create turnovers, after the last couple weeks I'm not scared of the Packers at all

Yep. I think they have the defense to pressure Rodgers and slow down their potent offense and Eli is putting up elite numbers this season, so they can keep up with them in a shootout if their defense can keep Rodgers off the field. I also think they can beat San Francisco. Again their Defense will keep Alex and their lack luster offense in check even San Fran slows down Eli and Cruz. The Giants are built well to play any teams in the NFC except maybe us, if we continue to play the way we have the last couple weeks.

RaginCajun83 01-02-2012 10:16 PM

I always thought that version of the Steelers were considered that good because they had 20 HOFers starting for them

You know what is interesting .... even the word "boy" cannot be used in a disparaging way ( unless you are using it to reference men of a particular ethnic group ). No, in our lexicon, all things male, are strong and awesome. Feminist meter is not complaining -- jus sayin'.

It is hubris not to want the Super Bowl, this year, any way we can get it. And, of course, we would deserve it!

And worrying about Brees in the HOL ... here's the thing ... another Super Bowl will assure his appearance there alot faster than not winning a second one.

I don't think that anyone here would dispute the fact that winning the SB would be the absolute No. 1 thing for the Saints to achieve this season - no matter who they faced along the road to that final goal or however those individual games were won.

All I was originally saying was that I would relish the chance to see the Saints play in the conference finals against Green Bay, because 1) they are the number one seed of NFC and NFL; 2) they defeated the Saints in the season opener; and 3) because it would undoubtedly be a highly entertaining match... one that might have a chance to go down in history as one of the greatest.

And I don't worry about things like HOL for Brees, because I have no doubts when it comes to his induction down the road.

I wonder if SP still feels some resentment over the fact that GB decided not to offer him the job?!

halloween 65 01-02-2012 10:51 PM

Hard to say! but I do think he want people to know he is better than McCarthy. He has done New Orleans well!!

Well thats not true. I mean a man calling a man a "boy" is in itself a put down. Sense football is a guy sport the next level down is girl. Has nothing to do with women. Its not a politically correct sport, and men playing like smith, have the mental capacity of a soft shell crab.
saying something is girlie is not proper , but don't see it changing.

Of course you want to win a SB, but we only have a few years of Brees/SP. If we don't make our mark, we may never get another chance.
Maybe the thing you should be asking is why do you want to avoid GB, Pats ? are we that weak and undeserving that we would not beat them? Then why do we deserve a SB.

Maybe its a guy thing, I don't know.

but beating SF, GB, Pats, and having Brady, Manning, warner, Rogers, Farve, etc on our team wins, seems so much more fulfilling than killing a Rookie QB and beating the Bengals in the SB.

Yeah, I'm sure he has no regrets about the career decisions he has made since leaving GBR's beer league, but he also seems like a man who would hold a grudge even though he might not openly admit it.

Anyway, I'm happy for the success GB is having with their current staff and players, because it's nice to see small market area teams like the Saints and Packers succeed whereas rich teams like the Cowboys fall short once again.

Although, the Vikes being my No. 2 team, I can't honestly admit that I'm overjoyed when the Packers win games.

QBREES9 01-02-2012 11:08 PM

Eli has been good all year. I might take that bet. The could beat the Acme Packers.

NOLA54 01-02-2012 11:15 PM

If the Falcons don't beat the Giants, the Giants can beat the Packers

pherein 01-02-2012 11:20 PM

Giants are a beater team than the falcons, as a whole. Problem with the Giants is their secondary, but their DL might be the best in the NFL.

Really? Why isn't the next level down hockey fans? Or gorillas? Or people with small brains who think girls are the next level down from them?

The mark you want to make is for Brees in the HOL, right? I have a quote for you.

As the great Martin Luther King once said: "The Arc of the Moral Universe Is Long, but It Bends Toward Justice”. And, even now, it would be unjust for him to not already be in.
