And Mr. Sour Grapes Wade Phillips telling the media that the better team lost.

Key word there is lost Wade...and not congratulating the winners and telling anyone who will listen that your team is better only underscores what losers you really are.

I heard that on the radio. That bugs me when athletes say that crap, it's even worse hearing it form a coach. I bet Tuna's laughing his ass off.

Funny to see TO crying last night.

Saw/heard the other part; Wade thought they "outplayed them". Must be blind or he has to see it on tape. Gmen d line/linebackers was putting the pressure on romo in the second half, the guy was running for dear life. Wade prolly didn't see romo screaming at his o lineman for missing his assignment when the gmen stunted on a pass rush.

Man talk about whining.... he's never going to win the big game with that attitude.

Giants are playing some great football. They will certainly have their hands full with the Packers. The D-Line is going to have an even stronger game. The Giants secondary is pretty banged up, Favre handles pressure much better than Romo and is probably the best QB ever at making things happen on broken plays, plus the Packers will have a more healthy viable receiving corp than the Cowboys.

Huge challenge for the G-Men. A Championship Game win at Lambeau would be one of the all time great non-Super Bowl wins of all time, especially when everyone left the Giants left for dead at the beginning of December.

Loved seeing the Cowboys lose. I couldn't stand how cocky they were towards the Pats before and after that game early in the season; can't stand TO or Jerry Jones either, so it was a pleasure watching them go down.

That all said, I'll be pulling for the Packers. I want a Pats/Packers Superbowl rematch even though it's been ten years since the first one. It's kind of like wanting to see a Red Sox / Mets world series happen again.

I think you really meant that everyone left Eli for dead at the start of Dec. Which is true. I certainly did. I'm still not convinced of anything, but he has played good football for 3 weeks in a row.

He is a different QB with Toomer playing. They have a chemistry that is non-existent with alot of the other receivers.

While I'd love to see a Giants/Pats rematch, I really meant what I said before.

My NFL season was made on Sunday afternoon. Anything else is just gravy.

I am not a football fan, but strange as it may seem, my wife is. Her brother who was a huge Giants fan passed away last month, so the Giants victory was mixture of joy and tears for her.

Big props to Eli and the Gmen , the way i look at it is you owe this great play to the Pats, we made you a better team and gave you the confidence you needed because you were almost able to hang with us. Just kidding Jim, but i knew they would have confidence from that game and they should they played great, its good to see Eli finally deep in the playoffs while his brother watches, winning in GB is a tall order but i think they can do it.

IMO, the best thing that happen to Eli is having Chris Palmer as the QB coach. During Parcells time at NE, he was brought in to coach Bledsoe and that's when he made big improvements in his quarterback play. Palmer left after two season to pursue the Jaguar's OC under Coughlin. IMO, after Palmer left, Bledsoe started to plateau or defenses started to figured him out.

Last couple of games I saw, Eli does not lock into a target and he doesn't throw into double coverage. Also, compare to last season, it looks like he has better velocity and a tighter spiral on the ball.

Oh, I do not contest what you write here. I agree fully.

Playing the Pats hard the last week of the season made all the difference.

My Giant fan buddies all agree too.
