DID YOU NOTICE SUNDAY?


Something I never heard - how the two games featured the two QB's who figured in the '04 draft trade at the top of the draft? Kinda interesting both made it to the title game for the first time the same year.


Also, the two 'best' Quarterbacks in those games both played terribly? Brady won because the Chargers 'D' couldn't contain Maroney in the 2nd half, but he was awful. The NY Post pictures of him in a protective boot on his foot answer part of the question, but will it affect him on February 3rd? And Farve did nothing in the 2nd half and threw the pick that cost them the game.


I thought the comment to surface about the Giants starting to think they could win a championship was after the Patriots game which was their last loss. I agree - up till then, they'd laid an egg everytime they'd face a 'contender'. The close game against New England showed them they could contend. I keep thinking back to 1991...in that season, The Giants lost to Buffalo in the next to last game of the season (Simms was injured in that game, Hostettler became starting QB), but were able to gameplan for the Super Bowl. Does history repeat itself?

I'll say it now - I'm thinking upset.....
