Maybe Rors knew and that's why he left like an animal might fleeing before a natural disaster.

LOL

The crowd roar at the Plax catch is another favorite moment. I swear I jumped 10 feet off my couch that day.

When cajunator linked that drive earlier, I was astounded by the roar of the crowd. They were so into it.

TD BURRESS!! I remember turning to my family as the Giants lined up for that play and saying "Fade to Burress for a TD, just watch."

Totally forgot Peyton going nuts after the TD.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

After all this time it still stings.

NEVER FORGET

 

[Big-E]

Too many people claiming the Pats have no chance. I'm nervous.

Giants must win. We saw the tremors last night, but if the Pats win the lifelong swell will wash us all away in its wake.

Do not fear, he saves all no matter the faith. Gentiles all over the world will be saved. You must not fear.

I still laugh at the chick next to him trying to high five him and he totally ignores her existence. :jnc

EDIT: The Alford GORE!

 

[BigAT]

Still good.

Edit: God, I forgot how close Moss was to catching that deep ball. Even now I almost had a heart attack watching it.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Just a few more feet in front of Moss!!!

 

[Levyne]

Go Giants

 

[Wellington]

Still good.

My favorite part of that play is Strahan picking up Jay right after that sack. Almost like "We still got work to do."

 

[WaxHustleNHos]

Wow just saw the last 2 minutes of SB 42. It's embarrassing how poor the play calling was for the Pats.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

These 2 weeks are going to go by so damn slow.

 

[Buckethead]

Jesus Eznark you weren't kidding about Martin's writing.

It's more awkward than a virgin taking off his first girlfriend's bra.

Spoiler

Brady would've been calling the plays at that stage in the game.

 

[AngmarsKing701]

Notice how on the old one there are 25 stars.
Tim Tebow is #15.
Tim Tebow has been in the NFL for 2 years.
Tim Tebow weighs 236lbs.

25 + 15 = 40
40 x 2 = 80
80 + 236 =

Nominated for post of the year. Gold.

 

[Wellington]

Niners RB Gore. Great player, great sport. He came into the Giants’ locker room to congratulate his fellow Miami alums as well as C David Baas, his teammate in San Fran the past few years.

Wow, what a class act.

 

[Oozer3993]

The op is missing something. Something beautiful. Something magnificent. Something almost supernatural.

 

[squicken]

Nothing kills a QB like inside pressure. Against the Ravens, the Pats interior held up great in pass protection. I'm curious if that will happen again. The refs have absolutely swallowed the whistled on offensive holding. Belichick might be telling his guys to hold until the refs stop them.

edit: This isn't some preemptive referee complaining post. I said the same thing in the SF game. The Giants DL was getting held while Alex was getting a decent amount of time to throw his awful passes, while Eli was getting killed. Harbaugh had realized that it was okay to hold, and the Giants hadn't. So I thought the Giants made a mistake by not holding, and then as soon as I posted it, the Giants got called for a hold that Fox never replayed

So if the refs are going to let everything go, it's bad coaching not to instruct your guys to take everything they can get

I'm not sure if we'll ever see a catch as amazing as that one in such a big game again.

 

[Seda]

So I locked the win in the no confidence Pickem. I'm #4th in the confidence one though. I guess I just suck at distributing points.

 

[brentech]

Good thing Justin Timberlake was there

 

[Futurevoid]

Wow, what a class act.

That's pretty freakin' awesome. Very classy.

[AngmarsKing701]

I remember posting before the Championship games that Goodell wanted the NYG/NE matchup and that the refs would lean that way. I was mocked.

And yet, here we are.

I'd say the mental screwups from the Niners and Ravens had more to do with it, but sure, let's go with the conspiracy angle.

 

[Futurevoid]

Sure? Maybe? No? What are you saying?

The point was brought up about refs not calling holds, etc. I posted data about holding calls during the playoffs. Interpret those numbers as you choose.

Make sure to take off the tin foil hat before digging to deep into it though.

 

[BaltimoreLarry]

I don' know, they should have at least taken a second look at the Lee Evans catch.

Really? Brady was calling in those plays? i guess that makes sense

The worst day ever wasn't that long ago!

It's not our fault your kicker is a boob.

Laces Out, son. Laces Out.

Breakdown of holding calls in the playoffs (courtesy of BBI):

The Giants must be doing a poor job of holding then, since they are doing so obviously Essentially, the refs are only calling pre-snap fouls. I saw a few QBs get driven into the ground, a whole bunch of after the whistle hits. Supposedly BAL was roughing up NEs WRs, but we never get to see the secondary. Somehow BAL didn't commit a single penalty versus Houston .

I really hope the NFL overhauls the officiating in the offseason. Not just a few tweaks. Radical changes

 

[bob_arctor]

You guys are dicks.

I wanted your team to win. I was just amazed at the huge gulf in effort in hauling in the most important catch of the season seen in those two instances.

 

[snesfreak]

LMAO at Jon Stewart.
"He SHANKED IT!"

 

[Big-E]

I knew inevitably someone would post a picture or gif of Satan. Damn him and his dark ways and I hope to high heaven that he is no where to be found in Indianapolis and the Giants don't bring him along for guidance. Giants don't need to be corrupted by him.

 

[chuckddd]

Much like Peyton Manning proved to be the NFL MVP this year, by his absence, rors has proven to be NFL-gaf MVP. COME BACK SOON, BUDDY! This place just isn't the same without you...

What a man! What a hero! <3 <3 <3

Indeed. We were all upset when Cutler got injured.

that sum bitch was in the grasp, arghhhhhhh

Oh, I see.

In that case, you should pledge your allegiance to some team.

pro tip: If you pick someone who's won a Super Bowl in the past four years, or the Patriots, you will be considered a lifelong, and you'll have to fight long and hard to shake off that tag.

 

[chuckddd]

Imma send a pm to Evi and beg him not to admit new batches of juniors right before the f'in SuperBowl.


Actually, I think he's doing it to punish us.

When the season first started I did.
