Is America Serious? Giants have no shot!!

The NFL needs Green Bay and New England.

It's gonna happen.

If New York werent the other team, then I may agree with you. Because yea, Favre is a feel good story and he gettin up there and may or may not retire. I get that. But being opposite the Giants creates a different kind of situation because there is no media market or viewership equal to the Giants in all of sports (other than the Yankees) and I dont think the NFL would mind too much having the Giants in the Superbowl. There are Giant fans all over the country. All over the world. And Im sure there are Favre fans around too, and of course I dont have any statistics to back it up, but ratings wise I doubt the NFL would lose if the Giants were in the Superbowl. If the Packers were playing the Panthers, Bucs, Seahawks, Eagles, Cardinals, Lions and teams like that I would agree. But not the Giants. Just my opinion.

And Im not saying its not going to happen. Just saying that if it did I would question that being the reason why.

I'm a Packers fan BIG TIME and just a few weeks ago the Packers played a very cold game in Chicago and got smoked, it was windy and cold that day and it looked like GB didn't even wanna be there! They better show up tomorrow and not be not be like a bunch of pussies they were in Chicago! I think they can win by 2 td's NY secondary looks pretty banged up!

I agree in that I am so sick and tired (and I up the Gmen are too!) of hearing how this is "Favre weather'...the guy is 3-0 in is career in games where the temp was in single digits at kick...3!!! 3 total games in what, 18 yrs!?!?!?! And now this is 'his' weather????

BTW, not as young as I used to be. Staying home to watch the game on the 4' X 7' projector. Took me too long to find my pee-pee waiting in line with 1,000 other people in the bathroom. Now my daughter brings me beer and I can pee in peace

omg

You may be right. Another New York\Boston build up. NFL brass would love that. Lots of hype would come with it.

Doubtful, but possible

Why does the NFL need GB? With Pats going for perfection I don't think it really mattered who's their opponent.

More meaningless media BS that the fans buy.

Did the giants get off the bus for the green bay game? They werent' suppose to...LOL

[kbsooner21]

The giants played a hell of a game! Road warriors!

[poskid]

Gotta love the G-men...but to be honest. Every Giant fan should be glad that Brett Favre was absolutely terrible in that second half.

They could have marched Barbara Streisand out there and gotten as good of an athletic performance and double the intimidation factor...Pack by 3!
