Gronk being banged up is a big plus for the Giants. He'll play but probably not be 100%. After Brady he's the most important player on that team. I go back and forth on this as well-- I try not to be a hater--it's hard--but if you want to go down that road, then as someone said above, one of these two teams will lose, so when it happens, revel in that loss to the fullest!
I cannot believe 40% of hard-core Jet fans on this site are rooting for Belichick and Brady. I get the feeling Jet fans would root for Hitler if he fielded a team against the Giants.
I count 10, which puts the actual percentages (for non-Patriots fans) at Giants-64.8%, Patriots-35.2%
I think there are also some Pats fans who hides their true team identity. The true ratio might be 80% to 20%
I would rather get cancer than root for the Patriots so that is what I am wishing on all of you who are.
Not sure how people don't get that Jet fans in the NY area hate the Giants. It shouldn't take that much explaining, really, we played in their stadium for 26 years and they've won three Super Bowls in our lifetime. Add in a couple million Francesa types most of us grew up with and what part don't you understand?
And before the usual nonsense about "You're just jealous" comes in, I'll add that when I started watching football around 1964 the Giants were about to embark on 20 years of God-awful football (a record of 100-180-4), so my hatred of them certainly has never had anything to do with jealousy. On the other hand, it has had a whole lot to do with the overwhelming arrogance and obnoxiousness of so many of their fans, who refused to accept the Jets were better even after Super Bowl III, and the pro-Giants media slant that has been around for 45+ years. Just as was true four years ago, I will be rooting against the Giants. The only difference is this time I probably won't even bother watching the game, since it's not like I'm thrilled about the possibility of the Patriots winning.
Same here. I hated the Giants long before 1986, it's not really jealousy it's just hate. You grow up and go to school with these tools and that's what happens. Very likely I won't watch the game either. As Ricky Watters once said..."For who? For what?"
I'm starting to now maybe root for NE.... INDIANAPOLIS -- Antrel Rolle, the Giants' version of Bart Scott -- sans the middle-finger salute -- said Tuesday at Media Day that the Christmas-Eve win over the Jets was the turning point to their season. And he suggested the Giants were motivated by Rex Ryan's pre-game trash talking. "You can't talk with your mouth," Rolle said. "You can only go out there and let your pads do the talking." Obviously, the Giants love talking about that game, especially Rolle, the biggest yapper of them all. "That's when it all started, when we were all on deck," he said. "The practices were phenomenal, it was electrifying. We were flying around like maniacs that week. There was a lot of trash talking, and we just said we're going to let our play do the talking." Rolle also wasn't shy about claiming the Jets benefitted from some "outrageous calls," saying, "I think they were definitely getting fed the biscuit." Holy shit we're 1 day away from February and you still bring this up? Its amusing how the 2 clowns in Rolle and Jacob condemn a trash taker when they've done this so many times. "The Giants will beat the Redkins 99 out of 100 times". LOL.
:rofl2::rofl2: oh my god, the Giants are duke basketball. The giants got so many freakin' calls in that game it was ridiclous. Every possession we were 2nd and 15 2nd and 20, they stole a TD when on the Plax call, this is a team that wouldn't have made the playoffs w/o bad calls int heir favor and needed one in SF and he's saying the Jets got calls?
