Giants Win Super Bowl XLVI

The New York Giants are the 2011 NFL Champions. They defeated the New England Patriots tonight 21-17 in Super Bowl XLVI to win their fourth Super Bowl. It is the second title for the Giants in five years. The Patriots now have gone seven years without winning it all.
What does this mean for the Jets? Mainly it means a long offseason of insufferable Giants fans, players, and friendly media. There are a few things we can take from this, though, beyond watching the Pats fall heartbreakingly short.
This is Eli Manning's second Super Bowl win. For his first three years in the league, he looked uncannily like Mark Sanchez has. A lot of people gave up on him at that point. None of that means Sanchez will follow the same path and develop into a top tier quarterback. There are a lot of questions about almost every aspect of his game on the field and off the field right now, but three shaky years can be overcome.
Even more, it shows you don't need to have a super team to win in the NFL. The Giants were not a great team. They were an average to slightly above average team. Just about every significant aspect of their team was near the bottom of the league except their passing game. They just got hot at the right time and got a bunch of bounces to go their way. It can happen to anybody.

Congrats on winning the Super Bowl NY
We had [Brady] down… but we didn’t kick him. We helped him up and gave him a PowerPuff Girls band-aid for his knee. What exactly did you expect would happen when we did that?

I guess you can say that they had two things the Jets didn’t this year. A pass rush, and a QB.
Goddamn right.
It’s a magical formula isn’t it?

And that is where having a steady,
unwavering hand at the top pays dividends. Don’t overreact to anything any other team does, stick to your game plan, Mike T and draft well. That is where you build championships.

He didn’t start the entire season his first year…
His 2nd and 3rd seasons he threw for over 3,000 yards and 20 TD and made the playoffs both years…

Well, Eli was below average in
Y/A, completion percentage, Int %, and QB rating, so I’d rethink your position
People were calling for Eli's and Coughlin's heads just last season
Remember all those INT’s he threw?

As a Jet/Giant Fan growing up I’m ecstatic. I Sure as heck wish this was the Jets tonight but just bouncing off the walls that it wasn’t the Pats. Now it’s time to really see what we do this offseason as I am sure Rex squirmed this whole last two weeks and most of all tonight.

"A Jet/Giant fan"
What is that exactly?
Should we really acknowledge the existence of people who believe it is possible to be fans of both teams?

It’s someone who grew up one season going to see Jets games and the next season going to see Giants games… It’s how I was raised. I’ve told the story so many times on these boards :P

Any rivalry between the teams is artificial.
For the most part, neither team has been consistently great, although the Giants now have four rings, I’d hardly say they’ve been great the past five years, and neither team has a significant advantage over the other, i.e. the Yankees buying into the playoffs every year. I’m a Jets fan who roots for the Giants 63 out of 64 regular season games. Why exactly either team’s fan hates the other team makes no sense. I’m not saying you have to like the Giants, but to hate a team solely because they’re in the same city is ridiculous.
Exactly. I’m of the same breed Evan_S. My father used to take us to the Jets one season and the Giants the next season. We’d wait around after the games and get autographs.. the whole nine yards… how could you not grow up loving both teams that way? It was complete turmoil in the exhibition games… I’d never know who to root for. I think I became heavier on the Jets side simply because they weren’t as successful over the years and I found it more fun to root for the underdog. But almost every year I’d find myself saying.. “least I got the Giants” lol. I don’t watch any other sport or pay attention to any other sport so I can easily focus just on football. I like hockey every now and again… but football is where it’s at.
I never did understand the rivalry either… this big brother little brother stuff is none sense and it does kinda bug me that Rex is even bringing that stuff up in a season. It’s creating a rivalry that just really isn’t there. We’re bred to hate the Pats, Phins, and Bills… to see people on here rooting for the Pats gives me the eeby jeebies… to each their own of course but ugh…

Meh
I didn’t care who won, I just wanted to see a good game & that’s what we got so I’m cool. The shit talking Giant fans & media don’t bother me because they were the same guys & gals who wanted to get rid of everybody only a few weeks ago. Them putting on the happy face shows how phony they really are IMO.
And on another note, fuck NBC for zooming in on Kraft at the end. No wonder that network sucks so much(excluding Community, 30 Rock & Parks & Rec).
And if not, I turn around & say forget it.

Oh yeah, because people totally should have had the foresight to see the team go from 6-6
and down 12 in Dallas, to winning the SB. What nonsense.
There is no hope.... there is no future....there is only BLUE WALLS.
The 2012 Mets: Fortune cookie says come back in 2015
Come on with that
Constructive criticism is one thing(& there was a ton of legit criticism such as the poor defense & non existent running game to be made), but the sky is falling reaction is another. Even with their streakiness, they still had a talented enough roster to at least compete for the WC spot. Nobody called them winning the SB(nor should they have), but they should’ve been decent at the very least this year.
And if not, I turn around & say forget it.
Maybe on places like Facebook,
ESPN, bleacher report (sites I don’t visit) or other fansites the sky was falling. On BBV I think there was level headed criticism mixed in with hope, a small amount of optimism, and some realism.

I went over to BBV
right before the Packers regular season game as well as after the second loss to the Redskins and that is not true. There was a majority of “can Coughlin” viewpoints, a lot of moping and pessimism overall.
Something tells me you haven't read
a fraction of the articles or comments that I have, but I don’t doubt you saw some of what you say.

Fair point.
I occasionally read BBV & I did see the responses, which were very level headed & process based. Although the “Fire” posts were there too for Gilbride(which I happen to agree with BTW) & Fewell(ehhh….) as well.
And if not, I turn around & say forget it.
No, but it does make you look mighty stupid in hindsight, doens't it?

I have a ton of best friends and very close family members that are Giants fans.
I have never felt any animosity towards the Giants, even though there have always been the Mike Francesa’s of the world.Maybe it’s Rex Ryan, maybe it’s Mike Francesa, maybe it’s watching all the fans of the other teams live through glory days, maybe it’s all of the above, but I am officially a hater. In ’07 I had the 100% full support of the Giants, of course in ’07 the Pats were kind of the evil empire, dynasty type team still. I could never support Brady and I believe every time Brady is sacked an angel gets his wings, but this Superbowl it felt the Pats were the underdogs.

how often do those actually work out? for any team? We do need to fill in all the cracks though, and i’m sure tanny will get right on that with a bunch of contract restructuring, cuts, and mid-tier free agent signings.
let the 2012 off-season begin!
in the immortal words of Bart Scott: “CAN’T WAIT”
def. it seems as though were on the same page.
a good offseason and draft will go a long way this year. IMO it doesnt have to be great just a solid offseason and well be back in the playoffs where anything can happen.

Not ALL of it does
but i think it’s reasonable to expect him to play better next year, and good enough for us to get far. We do still have a good defense (we led the league in forced fumbles too) and we’re gonna run the ball again. I like our chances. J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS.

Motivation
Use watching your neighbors celebrating reaching the pinnate of the game as motivation to get to where you want to be. Talking doesn’t get you there, guarantees doesn’t get you there, winning when it matters most gets you there. I could only hope that Rex, Tanny, Sanchez, etc are watching this and it will drive them to putting themselves in the position to do this. Nothing else matters, but reaching that goal and no amount of words will aid your journey in reaching that destination.
Just get there, I just need the Jets to get it f…..g done, I’m tired of watching everyone else get to celebrate. Hopefully those with the influence to change things are fed up as well.

Here’s hoping that Rex is paying close attention to this contest, and realizing that defenses are built on run stopping and hitting the QB, NOT collecting big name corners.
BTW, can we not compare Eli Manning to Mark Sanchez? That’s honestly quite embarrassing and shouldn’t even be brought up. In any context whatsoever.

I don't agree with either of those comparisions
Eli and Mark are not like Joe and Steve….Although I wouldn’t mind if Sanchez turned into Steve. I mean Young was a pretty good QB back in the day and he is a HOF’er with a SB ring.

"hooray"
Not happy about seeing the Giants win yet ANOTHER friggin Super Bowl, but love seeing Brady and Co. fall short.
As for the Jets, they don’t need motivation. They need an infusion of talent and better locker room leadership. I just hope that at some point in my lifetime we get to be as happy as Giants fans are right now.

The Giants were a great team with inconsistent focus and bad injury luck
They have basically the 4 most important things you can have on the field: elite QB, a pass rush, offensive playmakers, and a mentally tough coach. If you have all those, you will always be a team capable of winning a title. The thing is I don’t think the Jets have any of those.

We have offensive playmakers. Say what you want about Holmes, he has already proven a dozen times in his career that he can make big plays when given the chance. Keller is less of sure thing, but also a TE that many teams would love to have. Kerley looked pretty solid too. So did McKnight. They’ll all be fine with a coordinator who knows how to utilize them.
And I don’t think you can question Rex’s mental toughness, though he is still obviously a work in progress as a coach.
And… not ruling Sanchez out as the answer just yet. But we sure as hell do need a pass-rush.

we'll see about offensive playmakers
I never came here to kiss Bill Belichick's rings. I came here to win, let's put it that way. ... I'm certainly not intimidated by New England or anybody else. Rex Ryan

We have guys on offense who can make a play at times
We don’t have any big time, consistent playmakers. At least not in the current setup. Kerley and Keller and McKnight are nice complimentary players to a top-notch weapon, and Holmes is a great #2 or at least #1B, but he’s not a true #1. Which isn’t a big problem in it’s own right, I’m not going to slam a good player for not being great or elite, but Tanny paid him like he’s elite and IMO precluded from really searching for a Braylon replacement because he thought Holmes was elite. Dinosaurs like Burress and Mason weren’t true stabs at finding a top notch player, they were attempts at sliding by on the cheap because he had Holmes (either that or he really thought they really were capable of replacing Bray, which would not say much good about Tanny).
We also have no one who threatens deep. Holmes isn’t that guy anymore for whatever reason, Kerley is more quick than fast and serves us well on underneath routes but not over the top of the D, Burress’s 40 is clockable with a sundial, and Keller might be our best deep threat which says it all. I’m no huge Braylon mark but he clearly brought a downfield threat that was completely lacking this year. We need, if not a true #1, at least a guy who will threaten a defense deep like a Mario Manningham. I mean, when you compare Holmes-Burress-Kerley-Keller to Nicks-Manningham-Cruz-Ballard, outside of the TE battle it’s not even remotely close. Nor is it as good as Welker-Branch-Hernandez-Gronkowski.
Not going to really discuss Sanchez, I think he has the ability and the moxie to be a very good quarterback but I don’t think we’ll ever see elite from him and at this point very good is looking like a stretch. I think he deserves another year but he needs to play much better.
Gimme a pass rusher, please.
I think after this year it’s fair to question Rex Ryan’s mental toughness. If reality is half as bad as the reports, the locker room spiraled out of control down the stretch on his watch. Even when the Giants collapsed the past couple years, we didn’t hear half the mess about cohesion issues as we have about the Jets. We already know the guy’s skin is a little thin but from the sounds of things, he wasn’t even clued in on what was happening. He talked all year about being Mr. Fix It and nothing got fixed. He can change it, but right now he seems a bit like a much cooler, more early success version of Wade Phillips… player’s coach, defensive mastermind, hands-off on the offense, somewhat thin skinned. I sincerely hope this isn’t the case, but as of right now I think a wait-and-see approach is fair.
The first 7 lost team to win a SuperBowl .... DAMN!
The Hardest thing for some men to do is .... Believe what they see!
anytime the pats choke
Its a good day.

Stop comparing Sanchez to Eli….they are nothing alike….

Don't feel bad Pats fans
Since your last loss to the Giants in SB 42 you now have half as many playoff wins as the Jets! Even if one was against Tebow and the other was a luck-fest against the Ravens (the only team you beat all year with a winning record) things are looking up!
People are so on Brady and Bellecheat's nuts...
They were mediocre at best all year…didn’t beat a good team until the Ravens fucked up…Brady is on the decline…is this the end of their “dynasty”?

The Dynasty ended 4 years ago
This is just the reinforcement of that fact
I love to bash the Pats as much as anyone...
…but a comparing them to the “success” of our NY Jets, who haven’t made the Super Bowl in 40+ years, is not a good way to go about it, playoff wins or not…
Always do what irritates Pats fans most-
skewed or not! However regardless of the Jets-it is amazing just how crappy the Pats have been in the playoffs in recent years given their amazingly good and consistent play in the regular season. Since “converting” Brady to the focus of the team and a non-game manager, the Pats have somehow suffered. And Brady has also-he is something like 5-7 in his last 12 playoff games with 17 INTs (and nearly a 1:1 TD/INT ratio if you take away his game against the hapless Broncos).
