Many people go "Anyone but Obama," I in like manner always go "Anyone but the Pats" when the Colts aren't in it. Although, I was really hoping for the 49ers and Ravens to come to Indy. The match up we have will probably be better financially though.
I hated rooting for the Ravens. Made me feel a bit dirty. They're at the bottom of my barrel..but not THE bottom. THE bottom is reserved for the Patriots. Then the Jets. The Chargers and the Ravens are tied just above the Jets.
That said, I think that the 49ers Defense would give the Pats a much more difficult task. Those guys can play some football. They harried Manning mercilessly last night. And if it weren't for two special teams gaffes by the SAME GUY, it'd be the 49ers coming to town.
Not that the Giants' D isn't good...because they are. I'd LOVE it is the Colts had a D-line like that. I just hope that they can harass Brady as much this time around as they did the last time.
And HOPEFULLY the Giants won't need an improbable drive-extending catch to help secure a win. Hope they can force Brady into a mediocre game and just pound pound pound the ball against a Pats D that gives up a lot of yards.
Been a Giants fan since junior high. I still remember staying up to watch Super Bowl Whatever when Norwood missed the last second field goal. I had to do the victory dance silently so I wouldn't wake my mom. (Too bad we can't replace Caldwell with Parcells.)
I'd be rooting for the NYG over just about anybody (Colts excepted) and against the Patsies regardless of who was the other team. I despise Bellicheat and Brady with a passion.
