Boon 0 Report post Posted January 27, 2008 If the Patriots win, they will just become this thing that scorched the earth for five months before capturing a trophy that was never in doubt. Future historians will describe this New England team as if it were a machine. Everyone will concede the Pats' superlative greatness, but the 19 wins will be just a collection of numbers. But if they lose -- especially if they lose late -- the New England Patriots will be the most memorable collection of individuals in the history of pro football. I think the article says it's a better story for football if they lose. I don't really see how that makes any sense, though. It'll be better for everyone outside of New England [including a lot of people on this board], but I don't see how history benefits from a team that went 18-1.

Kinetic 0 Report post Posted January 27, 2008 What kind of persecution complex must the Patriots have to derive so much inspiration from any kind of anything that a member of another team says about them? Plaxico Burress so much as suggests that the Giants receiving corp is comparable to that of the Pats and the media gives a big sitcom "Oooooh," like you'd expect the guy to say anything else. You're just stoking the fires. They will destroy you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cabbageboy 0 Report post Posted January 31, 2008 If the Giants do somehow win this game 23-17 though I will bow down to Plaxico Burress forever. Â It's hilarious to watch the hype for this game. There are way too many people picking the Giants to win considering on paper it's one of the biggest mismatches ever. A 16-0 team against a 10-6 team in the Super Bowl, and seemingly 45% of the experts are picking the Giants. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A 16-0 team against a 10-6 team in the Super Bowl, and seemingly 45% of the experts are picking the Giants. Â If the analysts talk for two weeks about how the Patriots are going to dismantle the Giants, no one will want to watch the event. However, if they talk for two weeks about how and why the Giants are going to win, then people will tune in and watch the the game and, more importantly, the commercials. And, NY was beating the Pats in week 17 by 12, until Manning showed up. So, who knows what will happen? But, they have to give the people a reason to watch the game. Personally, I am looking forward to the halftime show. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MFer 0 Report post Posted January 31, 2008 Most of these people that are picking the Giants probably just want to see the Patriots lose (either due to Spygate, not liking certain members of the Pats, or still not being able to accept that a team can go 19-0 in this era) and are trying to convince themselves of that. New England has been in just about every game situation, have taken most teams' best shots during the 2nd half of the season and the playoffs, and still found ways to win (even in games when they weren't playing all that well). This shouldn't be any different. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
