Good morning, New York Giants fans! We have reached NFC Championship Weekend. One more day until the Giants face the San Francisco 49ers with a chance to go to the fifth Super Bowl in franchise history. Let's look around and see what is being written and said as the game approaches.
Giants coach Tom Coughlin said Friday that tight end Jake Ballard did not re-injure the PCL that kept him out of the final two games of the season. Rather, Ballard's knee swelled after "a procedure" was done to it on Thursday. Coughlin was asked how Ballard's loss would impact the Giants offense if he can't play.
"He is very important, just as all are. He has had an outstanding year and made a big catch the other night which was very important," Coughlin said. "He is a guy that is really growing in the position and gives us a big strong body blocking and has done a very good job of catching the ball and getting open."
Ballard said Friday that he "should be ready to go for the game."
During his meeting with reporters on Friday, Eli Manning was asked what he appreciates about Coughlin.
"He has good messages. He has good things to think about," Manning said. "He's gotten better over the years when there was a time to relax and smile you do see him smile a little bit more now than eight years ago when he first came in. it's probably because we are winning a few more games than that first year also. We've gotten along well. I think he knows that I work hard at preparing each week, I'm going to compete to the last snap and I think that's his mentality with a lot of things also - prepare, work hard and a lot of times that's all you can ask for."
Rex Ryan Predicts New York Giants Will Reach Super Bowl - SB Nation New York
New York Jets coach Rex Ryan doesn't always shower his crosstown rivals with love. But Ryan said Friday that he expects the New York Giants to win the NFC Championship Game and earn a bid to the Super Bowl.
Ryan told WFAN's Mike Francesa that he believes New York should be able to disrupt the San Francisco 49ers using a four-man pass rush, and he predicts the Giants will meet the Baltimore Ravens in the Super Bowl.

Mario Manningham has hauled in a touchdown pass in each of the Giants’ first two playoff victories, meaning the 49ers’ secondary will have more than just star receivers Hakeem Nicks and Victor Cruz to contend with in Sunday’s NFC Championship Game.

Hassan Nicks will be the key
Pretty well written article about Nicks and Cruz at ESPN (believe it or not). Nicks High School coach called him Hassan for TWO YEARS and Nicks never corrected him.
New York Football Giants: No Divas, no character issues, nobody hard to cheer for (ever since Shockey left). Now that is something to really give JR credit for.

In other news...The 49er fans have been issued a Zero Tolerance Warning...
For how they treated Saints fans in the parking lot and inside the stadium..They will immediately be removed from the stadium, the property and banned for life..There will be extra security outside and inside looking for that kind of despicable behavior..

Eli Manning is the opposite of Lebron James. If you ask Lebron for change for a dollar, he only gives you 75c because he doesnt have a fourth quarter. When Eli asks for change, he only takes one quarter because thats all he's gonna need

The 49er fans were screaming obscentities at Saints fans throwing footballs at them in the parking lot...
One guy tried to high-tail it with his daughter into the stadium but it was just as bad inside…F-bombs calling the faggots, told one guy his wife was a whore…Told another guy who turned around to see who was doing that to turn back around or will play with your bitch wife…Just all kinds of shit…So, anyone outside or inside will get ejected and banned for life.

If I was still living in San Fran
I would go to the game..
Even when I lived there for two years, left back in feb 2011, on sundays I represented the Giants, I got so much crap for it. That and you hear what happens to all opposing teams fans during the regular season. I wouldnt be surprised if someone got killed, just for saying “Go Giants”
Not me. If I was still living there, I would have watched this game from the comfort of my own home. and if the Giants won, I would wear my Giants Jersey underneath my jacket.
Regardless of what happens, No playoffs, playoffs, no superblow, superblow.... The 2011/2012 is one of my favorite Giants Teams of all time.

Don't like it.
Not the Giants way. MM saying Pro Bowl DB’s are not that great? What’s the point?
The Giants beat the Jets, the ‘boys, the Falcons and GB because they PLAYED A BETTER GAME than all 4 of those teams. Talk is cheap, it’s classless, and frankly, it makes me a little less of a fan of my team (that said, I’m a fanatic, so I’ve got a lot of Giant’s fanaticism to waste).
Shut your mouth…suit up…beat opponent into quitting in the 4th quarter – that’s a Gettysburg Address in my book.

see i can see your view also
but they did the EXACT same thing all the way to Arizona in 2007/2008. If it works, by all means keep talking as far as im concerned. I honestly think they have been intimidating people. Matt Ryan was clearly scared. The Packers were clearly off their game as well. You can tell Aaron was NEVER comfortable. I believe that the smack talk coming in to the game has something to do with it, especially when a big play is made right in the beginning of the game. The opposing team will remember what Mario said when Mario blows by one of their corners and than says something to the corner to let him know what he thinks about him.
by The Blood of Eli on Jan 21, 2012 8:35 AM EST up reply actions
I love the confidence...
but not crazy about the bulletin board stuff. Smack talk works both ways: your opponents start thinking that it’s true and get intimidated, or they get insulted, mad, and go headhunting on Sunday.
I hear this respect all and fear none stuff, then I see MM disrespecting the SF DB’s. Those guys are pros, too, they’re good and they’re tough. The talk just seems out of character.
But it’s out there now – so let’s just win the thing!
"Allie Sherman wrecked the Giants!" - my 5th grade bus driver
Talk is cheap
Atleast that been the motto of TC teams. So maybe this team feels they can ABSOLUTELY back it up. Or maybe they dont see it as talking smack. Maybe they see it as honestly answering a question. As long as they keep playing the same way, they can say / do whatever they want

I love the way the Giants played in Green Bay but I have to think that if GB’s WRs could catch that day then the game may have been very different.

Alot of those catches the GB recievers were hearing footsteeps
The Giants beat on those suckers pretty damn good every time they caught the ball
Why is Tom Quinn still here? I loves me some Coach Clawfin.
At this point what ever it takes to get the Giants up mentally I don't care
The Giants love to feel disrespected and carry that with a chip on their shoulder. I would prefer they just let their play do the talking but, talking seem like it gives them fire to play on Sunday so I say have at it.

In fairness to the players
They’re asked about the week’s opponent a billion times by the media, and I’m sure most of their comments are vanilla…it’s the one, slightly unguarded moment when they say aloud what is generally reserved only for teammates to hear, like “we can beat that guy deep, he’s not that good”, and that’s what makes it into print.
When TC starts guaranteeing SB wins, then we’ll know it’s out of hand.

Yeah I believe players on both teams would much prefer not to talk to the media...
They are obligated to..Both teams know what they are facing…I’m sure they don’t feel like the other team stinks..The media tries to make mountains out of mole hills and the some fans like to get into it with each other…But niether play the game, the players do bottomline…I predicted 24-10 Giants..They don’t like it that’s okay by me, I’m not going to get in a pissing contest about it…
"When I was a boy and I had no sense..I got my pecker caught in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair, tickled my balls and made me shit in my overalls..."
I'm not really a fan of this kind of trash talk but.......
I don’t believe it will matter. If any player needs bulleting board material for motivation to play at his highest level in a Conference Chamionship game, he’s already lost. During the regular season, no, but during the playoffs you’ve earned bragging rights. Besides, none of these players have offered these opinions up unsolicited. A journalist asked a question and I would be dissappointed if one of our Giants didn’t answer with conviction. When you believe, you can accomplish the seemingly impossible.

The guys have been backing up this thrash except for Revis
Cant blame them on that one. But I don’t think their corners are that great they jus benefit from a very good front 7 like our secondary does. It almost seems like they (San fran) always plays some sort of cover 4 or 2 like everyones dropping back lol it’s comical. That’s why QBs hold the ball so long. But I think we hav the pieces to take advantage of them on the outside. So I dont mind their confidence

Don't read too much love into Rex's comments
He wants his old squad, the Ravens, to knock off hated enemy #1, the Pats, and then go on to take down Big Brother Blue in the SB46. Rex’s perfect storm – or so he thinks!
"Allie Sherman wrecked the Giants!" - my 5th grade bus driver
Rex knows it would be horrible PR to pick against the Giants
People hate him already in NYC picking against the Giants would make him look like a petty ass which he and the organization he represenst are but he just can’t do it.
Absolutely...
"When I was a boy and I had no sense..I got my pecker caught in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair, tickled my balls and made me shit in my overalls..."
I heard the Francesca interview with Rex
Mike keeps pounding Rex on his talk and guarantees, gets Rex to admit it was too much for the team to handle and that this year was a failure, and then he becomes a “kinder and gentler” Francesca.
Kiss the ring, say your penance, come on my show and verify that I was right about you all along, and then I’ll go easy on you!
"Allie Sherman wrecked the Giants!" - my 5th grade bus driver
If Rex wants to stay coaching for the NY Jets
I think he is obligated to do the Rex ’Beatdown Tour" by Jets management. He seriously set back the Jets standing in the Tri-state area, and it will take some time to recover.
What pisses me off the most about that interview
Is the Jets told Rex to do it to take attention away from the Giants. You wonder why they’re a Micky Mouse operation yesterday demonstrated why. All year Rex or nobody from the Jets Brass does an interveiw with Franceser but the Friday before the Giants are playing in a conference championship game they all of the sudden put him on? So pathetic and obvious. If I was a Jet fan I’d hate my owner.
Just two fat slobs talking, is all...
If it keeps media attention away from our guys..to me thats a good thing…
"When I was a boy and I had no sense..I got my pecker caught in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair, tickled my balls and made me shit in my overalls..."

While we prep for the big time, little brother explains why he messed up and tells all our fans that we will be going to the Super Bowl.
Actually enhance the 2012 playoff for me…a little icing on the cake.

I just don't understand the praise for the 49ers secondary.
Don’t get me wrong…they are a solid unit but when Baldinger is talking about them dominating the Saints he forgets to mention that Brees actually lit them up for 462 yards and 4 TDs. That is a good day even for Drew Brees.

Their biggest strength is that they don't allow YAC.
They are a good secondary, I don’t doubt it…but Mark Sanchez can beat a good secondary if given enough time. Brees had time last week, despite what others would like to tell you. Yes, he got sacked a few times…but more than half the time, he sat back and picked apart the defense.
Unfortunately, we don’t have Jahri Evans and Carl Nicks on our team…

We are so different than the Saints
Not sure any connection is possible except in retrospect
Key will be getting a real lead early, 10-0, 14-3 then the TC death grip comes out. That’s what happens when we play our way. Just think back to 2008 last time the O and D were in sync like this.
Eli is our King!
If we go up by two scores, I don't think the 9ers have the horses to come back if we stay aggressive

Extra security
SInce we travel so well we will be there in big numbers, just like last week.
I do not know what it is with the Bay area fans, at least the ones who actually go to the games. It is horrible. Made a HUGE mistake and went to an NYG game in Oakland once. I was out there on business, all I had was my Giant hat. At the end of the 1st qtr 3 uniformed security officers removed me from my set and escorted me out of the stadium. They told me it was for my own good. One even stayed with me until my taxi arrived. Nice exp.
That must have sucked....
But tommorrow, any Giants fans need only to flag down security…and they’ll rocket launch the 49er fans causing any trouble…
"When I was a boy and I had no sense..I got my pecker caught in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair, tickled my balls and made me shit in my overalls..."
I was at a pre-season Raiders game against the Dolphins many years ago and there were fights all over the place.
One guy even smashed a dude in the face as he was being escorted from the stands by security.
nywins42 needs a new screen name - "nywins46" sounds great!
Just ordered FatHeads for all available Giants. Now I have something to aim at when punching holes in my wall.
I'm surprised they let you in with a Giants cap
When I used to go to Raiduh games when they played the Giants, they don’t even sell the other teams merchandise in the stadium. I used to go with Raiduh fans, so no body jumped on me for wearing the Giant colors. But, even the ticket takers would say stuff like, “get a load of this a..hole” when going in. I guess they thought, my friends brought me along for their personal punching bag during the game, so that was kind of cool.
I believe that was for the security of fans of the other teams
Oakland is serious when it comes to “colors”
Regardless of what happens, No playoffs, playoffs, no superblow, superblow.... The 2011/2012 is one of my favorite Giants Teams of all time.
That security dude just saved your life
some “fans” forget that this is just a game.

As sad as it is
its stories like this that are the reason I ONLY go to Giants’ Stadium. I’ve been offered tickets to numerous places, but I get a little loud during the games. I just don’t feel comfortable being that far outnumbered.

You can't spell Elite without ELI.
I went to the Giants Bucs Playoff game in 2007
It was weird, Bucs fans were outnumbered by Giant Fans.

It has been that way pretty much since the inception of that franchise...
…there was never really a fan base native to Tampa until the second generation, as a lot of people in FL at that time was a transplant from somewhere else. This was the case really until they found some success under Dungy in 90s. It used to be that whenever you went to at TB sports event (particularly the Lightning) you would see a staggeringly high proportion of folks in the opponents’ jersey.

Hearing all this is crazy
When I go to rugby league games in Aus (which is pretty much every one im free for, tix are abou $20 each), Ive been to some of the ‘worst’ areas in sydney and had no trouble at all. Seems crazy that fans in a place like San Fran would be that violent
Eli Manning is the opposite of Lebron James. If you ask Lebron for change for a dollar, he only gives you 75c because he doesnt have a fourth quarter. When Eli asks for change, he only takes one quarter because thats all he's gonna need

Yeah this ish is hard to believe man
And they say we New Yorkers have no class??? Bonkers man hard to believe ppl find time to act like that at sporting events. I mean it is california where weed smoking is legally accepted, gangs are glorified, and prisons are a major source of state income. So some it doesn’t surprise me.
I went to school in LA for 2yrs and some of this ppl I met who thought gangs and gang characteristics were so cool, im looking at them like your all F’ING Baffoons

I've been to Giants games all over the country
Except for Philly it has always felt like a family type experience. I also am very surprised about the stick, but most all of the stadiums are fine, friendly places.
I am a fan of Kevin Gilbride and I don't care what you say.

I think Raiders fans everywhere are like that
I went to Giants Raiders game at the Coliseum when they were in LA. I wore my Giants hat. It wasn’t pleasant.
I know some might not agree but I don’t like the idea that the giants are talking so much this week.the 49ers are a good team that find ways to win almost every week.I just hope they are not underestimating this team.felt better about last weeks game than this one.but with all that said I have to admit that the giants are playing great and are tough as steel this year.just hope we come and play our best game and don’t take anybody lightly.go G-MEN!!!!
I'm with you
I like the walk softly and carry a big stick approach much better
I agree
but when I see how young this team is, I think this may be the only appropriate time to open their mouths..
Besides, they arent really talking about how they are going to beat the Niners… just how good of a game it will be.

manningham
I believe will be key to our victory.He is fast and can get open.if u watch that 49er game over again u will clearly see that sanfran’s defense pretty much got beat in the secondary.the difference maker was the 5 turnovers.5! And they still barely won the game.The giants can pull this off,they just have to play smart.our wide recievers should have a great day.the 49ers can only score with their defense and off our mistakes
Yeah I've been calling MM out for the past few weeks...
He’s flyi ng under the radar and doing very good…
"When I was a boy and I had no sense..I got my pecker caught in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair, tickled my balls and made me shit in my overalls..."
running game
For some strange reason I think will be better this week than last week.I don’t know why but I feel we will have a decent running game this week.maybe because the giants have a history of doing what everybody say that they can’t do.but I wouldn’t count our running game out this week.will be looking out for some screen passes on that overaggressive front 7 as well
I don't know.
The Giants don’t seem to run screens too often. The only ones I remember (granted I have a horrible memory) were a couple to Ware in the first Niners game and the Jacobs screen for the touchdown in the irst Philly game.
MarShon Brooks has the dreaded.
"I’m anxious to see if they make the same mistake twice." - Shaq talking about the Magic.
actually
to me it seems everytime we try to run the inside screen to AB, it gets sniffed out. & we run that bubble screen to Ware almost every game. But including those, maybe 3-4 per game.

Score first
I think if we score first and make them play catch up like we did to Greenbay we got the game no problem.
If the Giants win the toss, do you guys think they'll kick or defer?
I’m kind of split.
On one hand, I’d like the Giants to get some early confidence against Frank Gore and that running game. A quick three and out would silence that crowd pretty fast, but so would a salsa dance.

the way this team is playing
it doesn’t really matter. They can build momentum on offense or defense, and the rhythm Eli and the WRs are in just won’t be broken by starting the game off on the sidelines.

I always kie to defend first...but they have tended these days to take the ball..
"When I was a boy and I had no sense..I got my pecker caught in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair, tickled my balls and made me shit in my overalls..."
So do I
I don’t remember the last time the Giants scored a TD to start the game. It’s like a wasted drive.
Team Ghost: Manningham, Sintim, Beckum, Barden, JPP, Anvil, Ross
Gmen do their thing
1st Q probe, test, probe
Eli is our King!
i prefer to kick unless you're playing a monster offense.
technically it doesn’t really matter, so given the choice give me the ball to start the second half.

my biggest concern this week is the trick play
I hope TC, PF, & TQ are prepared for the trick play. I see SF running at least 1 trick play on offense or STs. They pulled off the onside kick last time, & I just can’t see SF lining up & playing us straight. They’re gonna try something tricky to catch us off guard, grab some momentum, maybe get another possession, and/or points. I just want us to be prepared so when they try it, we see it coming & don’t get burnt by it.
Also, if I were PF, I’d have JPP lined up at LDE for the very first play so when SF does their playaction rollout, he can go straight for Alex Smith.

Pick Your Poison
A. Nicks
B. Cruz
C. Manningham
you can’t double all of them ,or BJ will be running through the secondary flattening some DB’s
best trio
of WRs in the NFL, in my book. One individual might not stand out ala megatron status, but all three combined is a monster.
JPP is the kraken
Which is the main reason
I hope we re-sign ham although I know it’s less than likely. Having those 3 2gether with Eli in his prime would mean nightmares for the rest of the league for yrs to come. NOT EVEN BEING A HOMER: I think they’re the best trio of reciever combinations in the league that includes TE’s. They’re all unique and yet all effective at what they bring to the table. All compliment each other

Sunday predictions...
1. Patriots win by at least 10
2. Manningham is the wild card. Breaks 100 yards and scores 2 TD’s
3. Giants win by at least 7. 24-14 is feasible
4. Giants prove that 07 was no fluke and eventually beat NE by 4
