What others are saying about Giants vs. Patriots

Saturday's potentially historic meeting between the Giants and the New England Patriots is drawing interest from everywhere, as you might expect.

It's even forced the NFL to simulcast the game from its NFL Network to NBC and CBS. So, let's look around and see what is being written about this game in other corners of the great Inter-Google.

Two things have to happen
For the Giants to win this game:
  1. Run the ball, run the ball, run the ball, shorten the game. Giants should play tomorrow night like they have a plane to catch. Take as much time off the clock as possible, or else you are going to see plenty of the back of Sam Madisons jersey as he chases Gaffney/Stallworth/Moss/Welker down the field
  2. When the Pats are on the field, they have to get to Brady, plain and simple
I know I am just stating the obvious, but sometimes the most obvious answer is the best one

Agreed
The problem w/getting to Brady is that NOBODY does. And even if they can the Pats will use that short, quick passing game to neutralize it.

Sooner or later
every so-called unstopable offense meets it's match.  Back when the Niners and their short passing game were unstopable the G-men kicked their asses 49 to 3.  We pulverized them when no one thought we could and knocked Montana out of the game.

The Pats are a little long in the tooth.  I say let's find out if they can play 60 minutes of smash mouth Giants football!

49-3
I remember that game. Very few times has it been more fun to be a Giants fan than it was that day. I believe it was Leonard Marshall who smashed Montana into the turf and nearly broke him in half.

Jim Burt helped....
A few plays before Marshall got Montana Burt came right up the middle and blasted him.  Joe ducked his head and and Burt folded him up like a lawn chair.

 In my opinion,for all his talent, Montana was never mcuh of a tough guy.  He was mostly finesse.  Now Steve Young, he was one tough SOB...never looked like he was scared when he ran.  In his prime I would take him any day over Montana, who had Rice in his prime years and a better running game to help him shine.

Montana
I might agree when comparing Montana's toughness to Young's. But ask me which QB I'd take if I needed to win one game and I think I would take Montana over any quarterback who has ever played.

Think about this....
We know they were both great. But let's say you've got to win one game and your team doesn't have the talent Montana and Young both enjoyed.  Sure, Joe was the better pure passer and he was agile in the pocket,but in my opinion Young is still the guy you want because he could throw nearly as good plus demoralize the best pass defense by hauling ass and breaking tackles.

It hasn't been talked about much recently but Young was an incredibly good game breaker with his feet as well as his arm. I also think he was a little more cerebral than Joe.  You have to hand it to Joe though for landing one of the best looking NFL wives ever.
