Our offense has done nothing against a slightly better then average defense.
We dropped way too many balls so far so this fourth quarter will all be about running well and executing. We can win this game with a big play so someone (aka Burress or Smith) better step up.
this is it. It is time for Eli to do what he's done many times this year and in his career. Time to lead this team to a come from behind victory in the fourth quarter.
The Pats can then go 3 and out and we drive again.
That is how I see this game.
Bottom line: we can't go without points on this drive cause the Pats are nipping at our boots and they will score. Our offense must come alive. Burress, Smith, Boss and the run game all must execute here.
and try to reap the benefits of the pounding they've been doing. If they can get a drive rolling on the ground and chew up 6-7 minutes and end with a TD, then they'll have a chance regardless of what the Patriots do.
I'm nearly in tears. The Giants are one TD drive from the most improbable of Super Bowl wins. Humiliate me after the game if you wish, but I can't help it...
Toe to toe all the way to the end. Only our two games with the Pats have been like this. That Plax play was almost a great effort by both players, you can't fault anyone. Let get them.
Where's the defense this time?.....this is exactly the kind of drive the Pats make time after time to win Superbowls....it was a good year guys, but it don't look good.....
double Moss there its an obvious passing situation. But hey, Eli has a chance here to make his legacy. Although i wouldn't be opposed to a Hixon TD return
I doubt he makes that play even if he doesn't fall down Â
As a Giants fan growing up and living in New England. Fell in love with this team during the 90-91 season that ended in the SB win over the Bills. I've followed them ever since. I had to hear all sorts of crap from Pats fans the last two weeks. They were already making parade plans and talking about how it was going to coincide with Super Tuesday. It was a done deal if you listened to the Boston media all week. It feels so great to get this win. Thank you New York Giants for an improbable, world class season.
"Fire Coughlin!" "We're nothing without Tiki" Draft a QB!!! Â
but I don't think discussion of the Eli-to-Tyree play presents the historical magnitude of that play well at all. Comments just like the ones you made can be seen in every game thread. You guys suck."
the better it gets. The 2 classic responses were Steve in South Jersey at 9:51 we need a miracle and Tyree then makes the "Hail Manning" or the Great Escape. The other comment I loved was at 9:58 from Jim in NH who described half of the Giants fans around the country. I love reading this thread it just will never get old.
Some of the posts are quite embarrassing to read. Some people giving up,some blaming Plax,some finding fault with Eli,some starting to blame the refs, etc before the game was over. I'd delete it, if anything. Some people expect perfection on every play. Some people have no clue about competing and the ebbs and flows of a great football game.
It needs to be bronzed or something! Thanks to all the guys and gals who had the focus to actually type during the fourth quarter. You made this thread. Awesome Job!
so I couldn't participate -- which was very frustrting, but my heart was with all my BBI buddies. On our last drive my wife started readinga book cause she was too nervous and I practiclaly kicked her out of the room. (She put the book down).
I watched the previous three playoff alone and the superbowl with my wife and son which made it special. Hats off to a classy group of men who gave us a playoff run for the ages.
Exactly the reason I did post on the game threads. wanted to share it with BBi.
Frankly, I'm getting a little tired of some BBi'ers complaining & taking the piss out of those those BBi'ers who did post during the game (mrvax..not you). It's quite simple really. It's called doing 2 things at once. Laptop and TV. Even more annoying is some of the posters here taking some posts, cutting and pasting, and then choosing to mock some of the statements in new threads
Seriously, you'd think some of the immature wiseguys would have better things to bitch about...
You have a point...BUT it was an extremely stressful game. Peoples emotions are all over the place. Anger,joy,annoyance,jubilation,fear and desperation.
Sorry, I disagree. IMO no excuse for some of the posts. This team came out of nowhere, made a great run in some tension filled games in the playoffs just to get to the SB. If anything there should have been more confidence that we would pull it out,rather than the typical BBI BS negativity. Save that for when we really suck, not in the SB. I'll bet a few people would like to be able to go back and delete some of their comments. Kudos to the BBIers that never lost the faith.
are the ones about Tyree, whys he on the field towards the begining lol, and yes the we need a miracle right before one was amazing. This thread almost brings me to tears its great.
The one on Tyree just before the play is an all-time BBI classic Â
is that many people didnt give the Giants enough credit for shutting down Dallas run game the second half. Breen Bays running game the whole game and Maroney was totally shut down.. They also repeatedly foiled the New England screen passes.
brings back some good memories.What would be really nice is 20 years from now when I'm 50 to read it again.How weird would that be.SUPER BOWL CHAMPS BABY!!!
First time I am reading this thread, and it's been fun but seriously...how could you be posting on here during the game. I would be afraid to miss something.
managed to type during that last drive. My hands were shaking too much to type. What a great read, took me right back to that moment. Amazing. Crazy to think camp is just 2 weeks away. What a whirlwind lol.
Here are the pictures of it.It says "The Giant Catch" on it.Is that what that play is officially called now?I kind of like "The Play" a lot better because the catch gives all the credit to Tyree imo.Anyway here's the pictures.
I couldn't watch the fourth down play. And after the last "incomplete, intended for Moss," I was too busy running outside and waving my jersey around. Oddly enough (since I was in Maryland between Baltimore and DC), I wasn't the only one.
I used to look at the link to this thread on pg. 1 and wonder why?!!! Â
evert time I see Eli scramble out of there and nearly fumble. I still wonder why that wasn't reviewed (are you sure he recovered it?). It was under 2 minutes so it should have been a booth review. IMHO he didn't fumble, but it was pretty damn close.
EVERY night before I go to school. Kinda of like how I used to say my prayers every night. This still seems so surreal, and everytime, tears come to my eyes. I love this team.

Another huge surprise in a surprising season.
It's Eli's time to shine. 15 minutes to victory.
Is he the man?
That is how I see this game.

WHAT THE FUCK!
Awesome thread; should be STICKIED and LOCKED
(especially after my final comment) =)
The harsh words to people who lost the faith are not needed; everyone is a different degree pessimistic at times...I even found "me" in this thread...
I was the guy at my get together screaming at the TV after the TD saying, THERE'S TOO MUCH TIME, THIS ISN'T OVER!!!
Great read!!!
Giants Win. Oh. Hell. Yes.

Eli Manning has a chance to be great. Let's see if he can do it.
Manning
Mike in Boston : 2/3/2008 9:44 pm
Has to make up for the bad throw to Burress that missed the first last drive. he needs a big completion now.
WHY IS TYREE THERE?
Anak : 2/3/2008 9:51 pm

Tyree for MVP!
