Official Super Bowl XLVI Game Day Thread

This.

Though I am less than upset about his attempt to be playful with Berry. There is almost no way he knows who Berry is. The better question is why do sober, adult minds put a 79 year old in that situation in their planning meetings? Starr (was it Starr last year?) at least seemed steady on his feet. I did not think Berry was going to make it up the steps.

Wasn't it Staubach? Host team gets to choose I guess. Next year Archie walks through the Packers.

I can't hate, Eli is a tough, clutch SOB even though he looks like he should be working at a fast food joint.

(was it Starr last year?)

It was Roger Staubach last year. The game was played at Jerry World so they wanted a Cowboy legend. Just like they picked Raymond Berry this year since the game was being played in Indianapolis. Starr will get to carry that trophy through the gauntlet when Lambeau Field hosts a Super Bowl.

Good luck with that one.

Looking back, New York's receivers consistently made plays on the ball, even when the throw was off. Man, that group had a great run in the playoffs.

[denverYooper]

They are well known for that. Pulled that stunt early in the year to get a free TO late in a close game when two of the same guys hit the turf "injured".

The more I think about Aaron's comment, the more I think he's gaming the gamesmanship. I don't know if it will have the effect he'd desire, but I bet he wouldn't mind a stricter penalty being enforced on the injury faking. I don't know that he'd get a much better platform than Superbowl pregame to attempt such a thing.

Quite possible, as I don't recall the Giants falling to the ground like leaves in the Packers game.

You must have dipped into a package with a powdery white substance. NE played Tebow after he shot his load vs the Steelers and was not the better team vs the Ravens IMO. The giants ripped up the Pack in GB and withstood the Niners sick defense. They had the tougher road and survived. I say NY wins and we all talk about how it should have been the Pack for the next 6 months.

One of the most outstanding runs in any NFL season for the once 7-7 NY Giants to capture this Super Bowl. Any Packer fan with half a brain should have been pulling for the GIANTS to win the prize after humiliating us in Lambeau Field.

I felt it, could really feel it coming and I got all wrapped up in the psyche game and psyched myself out. I awoke Monday morning hating that I went againsy simple analysis that the NY GIANTS would overcome all the NE Pat's and TOM BRADY and Bill Bilichick hype. Damn those silly talkin' heads. IGNORE them and go with your analysis. Go with your guts. Forget the it's their turn BS logic sort of logic.

IMO these are major factors in sidelining the PAT's chances.

a)The loss of TE Grokowski and all his productivity really hurt Tom Brady's chances of moving the sticks.
That put added pressure on Wes Welker. His productivity was only in the 60n yard range. TE Fernandez did as i expected produce in Gronkowski's absence of effectiveness.

FLASHBACK !!

See Our #2 WR or was he #1 ...Jordy Nelson and the fella that calls his number OUR teams HC Mike McCarthy !!?

Did Mike McCarthy think that Jordy Nelson's game would fall off with Jennings back? What happened in our playoff game in terms of those two McCarthy and Nelson? Were they on any page? Even hurt, Gronkowski was targeted and made one inspiring catch. Remember that catch and how did you feel after seeing that catch?

Mike McCarthy? Now there's a mystery??

Sorry for the diversion..................

b)Maybe? Tom Brady wanted it too badly !?

c) Maybe? All the late week bad press (Buffalo Uhh!?) might have annoid Brady and he lost his cool?

IN FINAL ANALYSIS.

In early December the New York GIANTS were in Dallas and down 12 points late in the fouth quarter of a MNF game. I had Dallas in my Pro Pickem'. I said to my gal. Got that one in the bag let's hit the sack. I turned the game off but somehow went back to it. Low and behold .... Tom Coughlan and Eli Manning were performing Magic ! The GIANTS looking dead in the water came a long ways back to salt down the Cowboys..secure a huge comeback win. The GIANTS began to believe in one another. They were inspired by a great Head coach, Tom Coughlan.A future HOFer now. A HC with tremendpus earned respect now. Tom Coughlan was the man. He made each GIANT player believe in the possible. That they could play better football.

After that late game setback and challenge in Dallas on that MNF game the GIANTS realized just how important that comeback was and could be!

THE GIANTS never let down from there and got on the momentum wave. It's a huge wave towords deciding outcomes.

Didn't we see that and PACKERS in last seasons playoffs and Super Bowl? A victory comes out of the dressing room.

A victory is inspired by team leaders and most importantly a HEAD COACH with the REAL stuff in him to inspire that 'we must win', attitude. The 'IT' factor.

Does Mike Mccarthy have that 'IT' factor?

GO PACKERS!

Did you miss the 2010 season?

[pbmax]

Nelson targeted 7 times. Jennings 7 times. Nelson had 3 catches to Gronk's two. Perhaps the QB and WR need to find a way to complete and catch more than 50% of the targets against a good NY Giants D.

I dunno, maybe. What do you think?

[easy cheesy]

I love the fact that the Giants website had the balls to "accidentally" put this up the day before the game... WHOOPS! LOLZ!
