lessee.... the 6 games they played against the east were... Jets, Miami and Buffalo - three true football powerhouses with a combined record of 12 and 36... tough to win that div.
You can't blame the Patriots for their Division they don't tell those teams who and how to play. Plus the Giants didn't even win their Division.
Oh, and the Giants played those 3 teams this year as well. So lets compare how the 2 teams did against those weak, pathetic teams.
The Giants beat those teams by an average of 10.3 points per game. The largest margin of voctory was 17.
Patriots won by 25.7 points per game. They won 5 by 21 or more points...
Pittsburgh hasn't been the same since Rothlessburger gave blacktop body surfing a try. NE beat Washington early in the year but they in a tailspin until Taylor's death prompted a strong finish. Cleveland and Cincy are mediocre teams. 3 picks in the last game against SD...
they've played better each game and our D plays its best in the 4th quarter.
Really? You want to compare teams the Pats and Giants Played?
The Giants played 8 games against teams that were at or under 500:
Atlanta, Philly (twice, and barely won the second time), San Fran, the Jets, lowly Miami (whom they barely beat by a field goal), Buffalo (yep, those same 3 teams in the AFC East)Minnesota (who creamed the Giants), Chicago (who the Giants barely beat).
Oh, the Patriots blew out Washington early in the Year? I didn't realize week 8 was early in the season, I thought that was is Mid-season, not early, but the Giants beat Washington in week 3 by only 7 points. Much less than the 45 point victory the Pats had.
Oh, and the Giants D plays it's best in the 4th quarter?
That's why the Pats scored 15 in the 4th off of them in week 17.
And that's why the Giants had to go for an Onside kick in order to have a hope of kicking for the tie. :rolleyes:
And let's not forget the Pats were trying to let Moss tie and break Rice's old mark - and everyone knew it. Yet, the Giants still couldn't stop Moss, even though they knew the ball was going to him.
Cleveland just missed the Playoffs and the Steelers won the AFC North, so they aren't as bad as you claim (10-6 for Both). Cincy had a much better record than Miami, and Miami never had a chance against the Pats and barely lost to the Giants.
Final score:
NY football GIANTS 35 - NE Cheatriots 28 ... winning TD comes on an INT late in the 4th quarter by Ross who takes it to the house on a 76 yard run back.
Ok, Nostradamus, if you are so good at predictions, why haven't you put Vegas out of Buisiness yet?
Cheatriots?
they broke a rule about
where they could film from - so everyone who breaks a rule is cheating?
There is a rule against excessive celebration - does that make TO and Chad Johnson cheaters now too, since they've broken that rule many times?
Cheatriots? I guess you missed Goodell's press conference concerning Specter's inquiries:
Goodell said that the evidence - tapes and notes - he had collected from the Patriots backed up what the team had told him about their activities in attempting to decipher the play-calling signals of their opponents.
He also noted that such attempts are common in the NFL, as they are in baseball.
"I'm not sure there isn't a coach in the league who doesn't expect their signals are being intercepted in some way by other teams," Goodell said.
"I think it was coach (Bill) Parcells who said any coach who doesn't expect his signals to be stolen is stupid."
Cheatriots vs. Gi-cheat-ants
Why Gi-Cheat-ants?
Well, it's safe to assume that Belicheck didn't start taping this year, and Belicheck probably did this with his former teams, and since he was the D-coordinator for Parcells when the Giants beat Buffalo...
And why would Parcells say that "any coach who doesn't expect his signals to be stolen is stupid," if he wasn't trying to steal signals himself?
So Belichek must have learned from the Master...
Do you want to keep it up and continue to go there, cause you might not like people tossing the "tainted" word around the Giants SB win over Buffalo, now would you?
Patriots win, Giants cover the spread.
