Giants by the numbers:

-The Giants improved to 5-0 in NFC championship games. The Giants are 3-0 on the road in the NFC Championship Game, winning twice in San Francisco and once in Green Bay.

-The Giants will be the 10th franchise to play in at least five Super Bowls, joining San Francisco, Green Bay, Pittsburgh, Dallas, the Raiders, Washington, New England, Miami and Denver.

-Since they were 7-7, the Giants have won five consecutive games in which they've outscored their opponents 141-67.

-The Giants won their fifth consecutive road playoff game (three in 2007 and two this year), an NFL record.

-Despite the wet and windy weather, the Giants did not have a turnover. It was the seventh consecutive game in which they did not lose a fumble, their longest such streak since 2008. The Giants did not commit a turnover in three of their last four games, including the regular season finale vs. Dallas. They have won their last eight games (regular season and postseason) in which they did not turn the ball over.

-Tom Coughlin improved to 11-7 as a head coach in postseason games. The 11 victories tie him with three coaches, including two former Giants coaches, for the seventh-highest total in NFL history:

Coaches Postseason Victories:
20: Tom Landry
19: Don Shula
17: Bill Belichick, Joe Gibbs
16: Chuck Noll
13: Mike Holmgren
12: Bill Cowher
11: Tom Coughlin, Bill Parcells, Dan Reeves, Marv Levy

In his 16-year head coaching career, Coughlin has 142 regular season victories and 11 postseason triumphs. The 153 victories tie him with Giants Hall of Fame coach Steve Owen for 18th place on the NFL's career list. Marv Levy is 17th with 154.

Crazy looking at this Pats team and there's only 9 players on the roster from the 2007 season....
Brady, Faulk, Gostkowski, Light, Mankins, Welker, Wilfork, Koppen and Wright. Koppen and Wright are now on injured reserve.

A lot of players don't seem to know the rules. Remember the giants trying to run it back on a botched punt.

Nothing beats this though.

"I've never been a part of a tie. I never even knew that was in the rule book," McNabb said after the game. "It's part of the rules, and we have to go with it. I was looking forward to getting the opportunity to get out there and try to drive to win the game. But unfortunately, with the rules, we settled with a tie." - Donovan McNabb

Just goes to show how fast NFL rosters change really.

I was rooting for the Giants to win last time these teams met in the SB, but one ring for Manning is enough. Sign me up for the dark side.

Same. Im sorry SNES> You can laugh at us next season when you beat us again, but that gif is one of the funniest and best uses of that scene I have seen yet.
 
After only 3 hours of sleep tonight, it still feels unreal that we've lost.

The entire 2nd half and OT was "our game": Dominating defense and a harsh battle for field position which slowly went to our favor, thanks to the punting skills of Andy Lee.

And then we're beaten by our own weapons: We made costly errors on special teams and turned the ball over. We lost this game exactly how we won many others this season.

I'm still not terribly mad at Kyle Williams: Yes, he made two crucial errors that cost us the game. But he had a good season, and it's not like our offense played on a championship level (the same would be said about the Giants if they'd lost).

A bitter loss. But somehow, I'm able to look at the bright side: For the first time in many years, we have coaches and executives whom I trust entirely. Jim Harbaugh, Trent Baalke and Jed York will make sure that we will be contenders for years to come.

For the off-season, I have only two wishes: Keep that awesome defense intact, and get Alex Smith another two reliable targets. Davis and Gore just aren't enough. Morgan should be back, Crabtree will be an o.k. 2nd or 3rd receiver, but we desperately need at least another big target WR for our red zone offense.

@Giants-GAF: It was a great game yesterday. Really impressive how much you've improved since November. I'm rooting for you guys against the Pats!

Now at least you know what Saints fans felt like. The game seemingly in hand despite all manner of shit going wrong, only to be fucked at the end by one of your players doing something incredibly stupid. In our case it was a few players in the secondary, but the result was the same. A swing from likely victory to very inevitable defeat in a few seconds.

It really was a great game (at least for me) to watch, but I hated the way it ended. I just wanted to see someone WIN the game, not someone lose it. Oh well, maybe in the SB..
 
I was hoping for the Packers or Saints to get in for the Super Bowl. I think the Patriots played poorly yesterday and were somewhat lucky to get in. I have to go for the Giants as my favorite to win. The Giants defense is just so good, so many good players all over the place. Doesn't hurt that Eli is on fire when it counts the most either.
