Deja Blue

Hey All,

Sorry for the late post but, here is what I got out of Super Bowl XLVI.
This game was meant to be a great one from the get go. The New York Football Giants and the New England Patriots, a heated rivalry that goes back years in the making. With the Yankees and Red Sox and all the great sports teams, New York and New England just don't like each other. So you know this game was going to be a battle from the sound of the first whistle. The Giants came out and got the ball to start the game and their offense looked good from the start of this game. They were able to put a good drive together and show that they were able to move the ball against the Pats. Their D showed that the Pats weren't going to be able to move the ball easily on the Giants D, and their outstanding pass rush. Justin Tuck, on the first play of the on D, was able to put the pressure on Tom Brady, and force him to make a bad pass which ended up being a safety to put 2 more points on the board for the G-Men. Making the score an outstanding 9-0 in favor of the Giants. The Pats would answer back though, getting a few more scores on the board to bring them the lead 14-9 going into the half. The Pats got the ball to start the second half and were able to drive down the field to put 3 more points on the board, and things weren't looking food for the Giants. But that Defense for the Giants weren't ready to give up hope, and the Offense did their part as well. The Pats would be stuck at a score of 17 for the remainder of the game. The New York Football Giants would make some big plays through the air to bring the game within a winnable margin. With 2 minutes to go in the game the Giants had the game within 2 points, were going into score, and only needed a field goal to win the game. With Nicks picking up a key first down to keep their drive alive on a wide receiver screen, everyone thought he made a huge error in not staying in bounds to keep the clock moving. The Giants were trying to not leave enough time on the clock so that Tom Brady would not have the time to put a winning drive together. On the first play inside the 10 yard line, Eli Manning handed the ball off to Ahmad Bradshaw and screamed "DON'T SCORE!" But Bradshaw's momentum was too much for him to stop and carried him into the end zone with 57 seconds left on the clock. More than enough time for Brady to make his move down the field, and put a W on the board for the Pats. This is were disaster would strike New England as their receivers would just forget how to catch the ball. Brady made some good throws, but the Pats receivers would drop balls that any other time, they make with ease. The Pats yet again fell short to the Giants in the big game. It happened 4 years ago and this year looked strikingly similar.
All in all this game came down to the Giants make fewer mistakes in the clutch then the Pats did. Tom Brady and his Offense just had no answer for the Giants Defense. No one can argue that the Giants just seemed to want it more, and had the right game plan to get the job done. Now that football is over everyone is wondering what will happen now, and what will people watch. Need I remind you that we are right in the middle of 2 major sports seasons, the NHL and the NBA are right in the heart of their seasons, and the excitement is outstanding. I also would like to remind everyone that I correctly predicted the outcome of Super Bowl XLVI to a T. I said it was going to be a close game, and it was. I said it was going to be the Giants coming up with a late game rally to win the game in the fourth quarter, and they did. I want to congratulate both teams on making this far, and a bigger congratulations to the New York Giants on winning against the New England Patriots yet again in a Super Bowl.

Super Bowl Prediction

Hey All,

I know if you a football fan, or even a sports fan in general, you are excited for this Sunday. Super Bowl Sunday is by far the most exciting day in America. It puts the two best teams in the league against one another for a winner takes all showdown. Who wouldn't love that? This year the game has even more hype to it, because it's a rematch of Super Bowl XLII with the Giants taking on the Patriots. The last time these two teams met in the Super Bowl. The New York Giants came up victorious buy a slim score of 17-14 on a great comeback from Eli Manning in the 4th quarter. This year makes for another great match up between two great teams. The Pats, though they are not undefeated like last time, are just as dangerous offensively like last time; and for the G-Men they are even more dangerous Defensively then last time. This game has the the makings for one of the greatest Super Bowl's ever. Between the greatness of the Giants pass rush, the great passing game of the Pats, and a Pats D that is making improvements every week this game shouldn't cease to amaze anyone.
The Giants come into this game with a lot of confidence after beating the teams they did on the road to the Super Bowl. It started with the last week of the season, when they basically had a playoff game against the Cowboys to see who would win their division and get into the playoffs. Once into the playoff they had one of the toughest roads to pass through then any other team in the league. It starts with the Atlanta Falcons, one of the toughest teams to play on the road. The Giant's defeated them in convincing fashion by the score of 24-2, this gave the G-Men a lot of confidence for the playoffs. The Divisional round, no one thought they would get past, as they took on the defending Super Bowl Champs The Green Bay Packers. The way that the Packers were playing all season, everyone thought they were a shoe in to repeat and return to the Super Bowl. But the Giants had other plans, they beat the Packers once again in convincing fashion. Their Offense just destroyed the Packers Defense. The final score in this game was 37-20, and sent the Giants back to the NFC Championship. The NFC Championship game would be the toughest game that they would face. The Giants would take on the surging San Fransisco 49ners. The 49ners would make it interesting for the Giants to make it back to the Super Bowl. This game would go into overtime but the Giants came out on top 20-17 and are going back to the big stage.
The Pats on the other hand, had a easy task through the Playoffs. As they got a first round bye after winning they division and having the best record in their league. In the Divisional round they had easiest game ever in the Denver Bronco's as they won that game 45-10. In the AFC Championship game gave them a bit of a test as they took on the Baltimore Ravens. This game went down to the wire but the Pats come up victorious by the score of 23-20 and this is where the Pats D stepped it up and showed they were ready for the big stage.
Everyone is talking about this game, the buzz for it is outrageous. A rematch of a Super Bowl, in a Super Bowl makes for a media frenzies. No one is picking a set winner this early, except for me. My pick for this Sunday's game is the New York Football Giants in a very close game. I just think that they have the best recipe to win this game; their Offense has pulled through in the clutch before to beat the Pats this year in the regular season, their pass rush is unavoidable, and their secondary is playing pretty well. I can't wait to see what happens, and like everyone I can't wait for the commercials either.

Like always readers,

Playoff Football

Hey All, Sorry for the long delay, but I'm back and boy do I have a game to talk about. The New York Giants faced a great team in the Green Bay Packers on Sunday, 15th. Now everyone knew this was going to be a good game, but I don't think anyone predicted the outcome of this. The Giants came to play in this one, and the Packers should have been well rested after a 2 week lay off from having a first round bye. The Giants offense was on point in this game and would not take failure as an options. The two brightest stars on the field and that time were that of Eli Manning and Nicks. Eli who throw for 330 yards, 3 touchdowns, and 1 INT on the Packers D. Nicks caught the ball 7 times for 165 yards and 2 of Eli's 3 touchdowns. The greatest moment for the two had to be at the end of the first half when Manning threw a hail marry to end the half. A smart decision by the Giants on this play was that they had Nicks and Cruz on the same side of the field, their two best receivers. Nicks looked like he was going up for a rebound in basketball as he boxed out the defenders, went up and caught the ball at it's highest point, which is what you are taught in pee wee football. This in my mind took the wind right out of the sails of Green Bay, as they walked into the locker room with their heads hanging and feeling down on themselves. Also all the momentum was on the side of the G-men. Needless to say the Giants pulled out the biggest upset since they beat the undefeated Patriots in the Super Bowl. This isn't good news for the San Fransisco 49ners, as the Giants are coming off of a high with that big win on Sunday. They completely crushed the Packers 37-20. The 9ners are on a seasonal high though as this is their first trip to the NFC Championship game in a long long time. I think this will be the best game on TV this weekend, as we will get to see 2 great teams battle to get back to the Super Bowl. Both teams are hungry for another win, and will stop at nothing to get a win. I can't wait to see what happens and I will give you the update like always.

Giants vs. Cowboys

Hey All,

The New York Football Giants faced the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday Night Football in a critical game for the east standings.This game would be nerve racking for the fans of both teams, as it was a back in forth battle until the very end. Both teams fought until the final tick of the clock, but in the end it was the Giants who came through and like they have 5 times this season made a fourth quarter come back. The Cowboys had a 12 point lead going into the fourth quarter and everything was looking good for the Cowboys. Eli Manning had other plans for the G men and wasn't about to let their season go down the drain. Eli had another fantastic 4th quarter and drove down the field not once, but twice to put a score on the board, including a two point conversion to give them a 3 point lead with a minute to play. But we've seen this before, just the week before to be exact, the Giants we're playing the undefeated Packers and took the lead in the fourth with a minute to go. The Giants Defense something seems to happen in the last minute of the game. My opinion is that, like most teams, they go into a prevent Defense and give up the underneath routes and yards after the catch. This gave the Cowboys enough time to get down the field and into field goal range, but the Football Giants had a time out left. With 6 seconds left on the clock the Cowboys were setting up for a last second field goal to send it into overtime. But the week before the Cowboys coach iced his own kicker and he missed it and lost the game. This time the kicker was iced but by the opposing team, after making the first one that didn't count because of a time out that was called. The second chance for the Cowboys was crushed by the player of the game in my mind, Jason Pierre-Paul. He changed his position and instead of rushing the tackle, he rushed the center, and made the block to keep the season for the Giants alive. The Giants won the game 37-34 in a very close game that in my mind at the end the Cowboys throw away. For some reason at the end of the game the Cowboys find a way to lose the game. Not to take anything away from the Giants impressive come back win over Dallas, but the Cowboys had the game in the bag a made some silly, stupid errors late in the game to lose it. If this keeps up the Cowboys will need to change things up. Weather that be with coaching change, players change, or something or another. Either way Jerry Jones should be starting to think now about what to do in the feature so that he is prepared when the time comes.
