Sorry Cippy
I don't like Brady either, and god knows I hope Boston falls into the

sea someday.....but I love Bill Belichick and I despise the Seahawks, their piped-in crowd noise and perpetually aggrieved fans, Pete Carroll and Russell Wilson. They didn't deserve to win last week, and I think they're going to get waxed in this one.

Fuck the Patriots. The ONLY redeeming thing about that team is the coach.
Margaery?

I don't like the Seahawks either, but at least they're 3,000 miles away. Pats fans would be unbearable with a 4th SB. Hell, they're unbearable now.
Patriots fans can't say shit to us

Let 'em win 100 Super Bowls against the rest of the NFC.

I want to see the historical record preserved, the one that says the Giants are the only team the Patriots couldn't beat in the Super Bowl.
I don't want the Pats to have as many SB wins as the Giants,

Giants Fans Should Root for NE  
Samiam : 1/29/2015 4:02 pm : link
First, BB was a major Giants contributor and never went to work for the enemy like the Cowboys. Second, I cannot stand Seattle with the piped in music as mentioned above. Third, I would still like to say to the antiReese crowd that no other GM has the 2 rings the way he does. Fourth, NE beating an NFC team makes the Giants wins even sweeter. Fifth, the NE Rutgers connection.

Would this be the same Seattle team that required a recovered onsides kick to squeak by a hobbled Aaron Rodgers in an NFC title game played on their home field? Whose QB played like complete dogshit for four quarters?

What the hell does that have to do with Giants fans?
BB is a great coach, and I appreciate all he meant  
Section331 : 1/29/2015 4:07 pm : link
to the Giants, but, seriously, fuck him. I don't see any reason to root for him to win a 4th SB. He hasn't been a Giant for 25 years, I think his statute of limitations has run out with Giants fans.
Pats Win Will Piss Off Jets Fans,  
clatterbuck : 1/29/2015 4:28 pm : link
which is rooting interest enough for me. Also, can't stand Pete Carroll who is an arrogant jerk, can't stand the borderline illegality of crowd noise in Seattle, and my sense Carroll coaches his team to play just outside the rules and gets way with it. I hope the Pats crush them.
Pete Carroll is an asshole and Bill Belichick was an indispensable  
Greg from LI : 1/29/2015 4:28 pm : link
contributor to two Giants championship teams. Yeah, I think he gets a lifetime pass from me for that.
go Hawks

would love to see the post-spygate Pats remain ringless.
I hate both of these teams.

I'm sick of Patsies "fans" , who will jump ship
and revert to rooting for the Cowboys as soon as
the franchise hits a rough spot

BH28 : 1/29/2015 6:26 pm : link
you can't ever root for the Pats because of their fans. 2005 was soul crushing for me when it was Philly-NE. Obviously I had to root for NE then, but I felt dirty about it. As long as they aren't playing an NFC east rival, I will always root against the Pats.
Has anyone read Drew's books?  
mattlawson : 1/29/2015 6:39 pm : link
Are they as good as his articles?
Here are a few reasons I am rooting against the Patriots  
steve in ky : 1/29/2015 6:43 pm : link
* With a win the Patriots would tie the Giants with four wins

* Personally tired of Brady

* Their fans are beginning to remind me of Cowboy fans

* Don't like any cheaters even minor ones

* If everything was equal I usually would prefer the NFC win

Steve - Good Points  
Trainmaster : 1/29/2015 8:18 pm : link
The two points I'm still struggling with, from a "best for the Giants franchise perspective" are:

1) If Seattle wins, the Patriots are still stuck at 3 SB wins.

2) If the Patriots win, a first ballot HOF coach with a first ballot HOF QB were 4-0 against 4 different NFC teams over a 14 year span, and yet were 0-2 against the Coughlin/Eli led Giants including having a 18-0 season spoiled.
I was 50/50 on this  
ChathamMark : 1/29/2015 8:37 pm : link
after Deflategate it swayed me a bit, just seemed strange, the whole thing, Belichick becoming a physics professor etc., so going with the Seahawks. Also, have fond memories of folks in my Boston office saying how lucky we were in both our Super Bowl wins against the Pats. So, go lose three Super Bowls in a row, you filthy animals..
See, when I think of this...

...I smile and remember the final score.

Any NE hate I might have had was erased in SB XLII and XLVI

Now, I want the Pats to win every SB they're in that they're not facing the Giants so long as BB and TB are there so the only blemish is at the hands of Eli and Co.
It's a no-brainer to root for Seattle for the following reason: LEGACY  
Optimus-NY : 1/29/2015 11:07 pm : link
Since the 1986 season (that's gonna be 29 seasons at the conclusion of SB 49), NO TEAM has won more Super Bowls than the Giants:


Quote:
*First - 4 SB championships
-NY Giants (1986, 1990, 2007, & 2011)


*3 Tied for 2nd with 3 SB championships
-San Fran: (1988, 1989, & 1994)
-Dallas: (1992, 1993, & 1995)
-New England: (2001, 2003, & 2004)


*5 tied for 3rd with 2 SB championships
-Pittsburgh: (2005 & 2008)
-Baltimore: (2000 & 2012)
-Green Bay: (1996 & 2010)
-Denver: (1997 & 1998)
-Washington: (1987 & 1991)


*5 tied for 4th with 1 SB championship
-Tampa Bay: (2002)
-Rams: (1999)
-Colts: (2006)
-Saints: (2009)
-Seattle: (2013)



If Seattle wins SB 49, then the Giants still maintain their hold on that streak. If NE wins SB 49, then they'll equal the Giants' hold on SB titles since SB 21.

Add in the Boston factor, the overall douchiness of the Pats, and the whole cheating aura, and they don't deserve to be up there w/the Giants. Eff em. Seattle is just a ship passing in the night. Let them repeat. They won't keep this streak up. The cap monster will gobble them up once Wilson's extended at an astronomical rate. It'll completely change the face of their team. They won't win be able to win another title again for years, and when they're ready gain, Caroll will be probably be gone.
I'm rooting for the Pats...

Adding another W to the Parcells coaching tree would be huge.

I admire excellence. And I belive this run by the Pats the last 15 years is the greatest in NFL history. Going to 6 SBs in 13 years is just unimaginable in this economic era.

Fuck the HGHing Seahawks

is an ass of a person and I have no doubt he'd cheat whenever and wherever possible. F' the Patriots. Wilson isn't as bad as his showing 2 weeks ago.

Go 'hawks.
I hope the Seahawks destroy the Patriots  
Vin R : 1/30/2015 8:39 am : link
I wouldn't be able to deal those mouth breathing fans all off season. IMO, they're worse than Red Sox fans, fuck them I don't want them having the same amount of Super Bowl trophies as the Giants.

Bingo!

That's all I care about in the end. It's my (borderline unhealthy) obsession with NFL sports. I don't want any NFL team to have as many or more super bowl titles than NYG.

The Niners, Cowboys and Steelers have more. Packers have four. Pats have three. Lets keep the Pats at 3 and pray the Giants catch the leaders over the next 5 years or so...sound good? good..thanks.

You admire excellence when it doesn't encroach on the Giants legacy. Smarten up! The fact that you weren't willing every ounce of your energy towards Dallas losing 3 weeks ago scares me.
