Joe Namath is biased. Besides, my mind is made up, don't confuse me with facts!   :rofl;  And I will simply point out that the first year the Niners went to the Superbowl (which they won), EVERYBODY said they didn't stand a chance. My boys seem to have powerful Guardian Angels.   :cheer:   :yahoo;   :2thumbsup;   :clap;

I know what the score was but it seems to me the Giants were beat; #10 of the 49ers was a Giant player.

Oh man...such close, exciting games!!  Great entertainment.  Sure feel for Billy Cundiff, though.  That's the stuff of nightmares.

Look, the Giants won period.  The Giants stripped the ball. If that makes him a Giant...  You really have to be kidding me.  How about congratulations that was a very close game.  It was anyone's game but the Giants stood up and won.  The better team won today.  The Giants deserve to be in the Superbowl.  No wonder the call them the Whiners.

Wow! That was exciting! Win or lose, that is my favourite type of game! YL, I'd like my crying towel in red and gold, please!   :rofl;   :rofl;

It was a little too exiting for me.  I am glad I remembered to take my blood pressure meds.  That was crazy when the game was tied and they showed the stat that both teams had exactly 288 yards in offense.  They were very evenly matched I guess.  The point spread of 2 1/2 was pretty darn close.  It just favored the wrong team.  Now we have to beat those darn Cheatriots again.

The Giants ruined the Cheatriots perfect season last time and they will beat them again this Superbowl.  Yes, the Cheatriots.  Bill Billacheat is a cheater. Once a cheater, always a cheater and cheaters never prosper.

The Game:

I am reminded of the last time the Giants and 49ers met for championship purposes; Roger Craig fumbled the ball on the Giants three yard line during a off-tackle-right play.  Had he not fumbled the 49ers would have scored for the winning touchdown.  The Giants then went down field and won with a field goal.  Walsh then cut Craig and ended his career.

Williams #10 didn’t just fumble, he kneed the ball on a punt return that he was supposed to back away from.  With that mistake he ended an entire season of effort.  The Giants took possession and scored.

Maddening. Upsetting. The regular punt returner was sitting on the bench with a small injury.

On the other hand, I am a Bay Area football fan and that includes the Raiders and the Cal Bears.  I am used to disappointment; I have been led to the brink only to lose at the final showdown more than a person should bear.  Yes, I recall when the Cal Bears were ranked #1 in the nation, for two hours.  But the Giants won this time, congratulations to their fans and the team.

Yes, it was the Giants who back-cracked Montana in the first quarter of a play-off, thereby stripping the Niners of any desire to continue playing.  And, yes, Frank Gifford once played for the Giants.  Now there is a real-life whiner.

Giants won, see ya next year.

Part of football is having 46 active players. Not 11. Not 22.  In the NFL players get hurt.  If you do not have the players on your bench to step up then you do not have a winning team.  Please remember that our center got hurt.

This is true, however, to be realistic, it is impossible to have true depth at every position.  I mean, look at the Texans.  Schaub goes down, Leinart comes in for ONE FREAKING PLAY and breaks his collarbone, and Yates has to carry the team the rest of the season.  The Colts and the Bears were not so lucky.

I personally think the season is too long; it should go back to 14 regular season games.  Not only that, but there are too many teams.  They should eliminate 4 teams in each conference.  This would help in 1. lessening the opportunity for injury by playing fewer games and 2. increasing the depth chart by not having so many teams.  (Jacksonville...really?) I am tired of watching this game of attrition.  I want to see as many healthy first-stringers at the end of the season as possible.

The Jaguars may be coming here to Southern California.  It really does look like We will be getting an NFL team.

Yeah, I've been hearing some rumbling about that.  What's the latest news?  Do you think such a move will really happen?

Yes.  There is a lot of money behind this.  The problem I have is that they are really pushing for this to happen next to the Staples Center in LA.  I think that would be a disaster to get in and out of.  One site considered is in The City of Industry which makes so much more sense.  It has multiple highways around it and would be easily accessible form the Inland Empire, Orange County and LA County.

Injuries are a part of football.  This is true from Pop Warner, high school, college & pro.  It just is unfortunately.

As far as I'm concerned, SoCal could have the "Traders". Enjoy!

I would just love to have the NFL here.  I really can't believe there is not a team here anymore.  I think they should bring back the Rams.  Any team except the Raiders.  I actually would like to go to a game and enjoy it.

Ummmm, I would take the Raiders over the Cowboys but we all know that the other NFC East teams are not on the table.

Jeff Fisher is just the man to pull off another transition.  He was with the Oilers when they moved to Nashville.  Im sure now that he is with St. Louis Rams, he could move again to So. Cal.  He is just the man to do it too, but I don't think it will happen!  But hey, not the first time Ive been wrong and won't be the last.

P.S. Both games were close, and Ravens fought hard that whole game, just to lose it like that had to hurt!  Patriots & Giants!  Normally I pull for AFC but I like Eli Manning because of the connection to Peyton (Who played for Univ. of Tenn).

Speaking of Peyton, does anyone think he is going to be staying in Indy?  I'm not so sure.

I do believe he will be there next season.  As a starter, I m just not sure.  I think if he gets his neck back like it was, he still has a couple good years left in him.

With two play-off games as close and exciting as we just had, I think the Superbowl may turn out to be the Mediocre-bowl.

Not quite NFL but....    :cheer:

My brother-in-law, Tim, use to play football in high school and was really good.  He went on to play at Spokane Falls Jr. College and was really good and went on to play for U of Idaho..... and was MVP.  Then he started farming in the basin (in WA).  Well, I guess he was nominated for the Hall of Fame in WA and won.  After 44 years (he is 62) he is going to be in the Hall of Fame.  Isn't that wonderful?  He is trying to down play it but he is pretty excited.  They are going to have him come to Pasco on May 31 to some sort of dinner/celebration.
