Good morning fellow Giants fans. I don't know about you, but I did fall asleep eventually last night. And like most of you reading this right now, I am in happy disbelief that the Giants pulled out another of the greatest wins in franchise history Sunday night--a stunning OT thriller by the Bay to send Big Blue to the Super Bowl once again. I could babble about this historic win all day, but let's see what everyone else is saying the morning after......
D'Alessandro: Giants' Tom Coughlin always believed in his team | NJ.com
You look back at the last five weeks and still shake your head. How does a 7-7 team earn an all-expenses-paid trip to Indianapolis in two weeks? By having faith, is our guess. By listening to a remarkable, indomitable coach. At least that’s what the owner thinks. His coach is a man who feels certitude when others feel doubt, even when there was a gong watch for his job back in Week 15 or so. Now, in the stunning aftermath of the Giants’ triumph, you have to wonder whether Coughlin himself is almost as stunned as the rest of us.
NY Giants head to Super Bowl XLVI to face Tom Brady and Patriots with same magic that beat New England in 2008 - NY Daily News
An overtime championship game for the Giants. Again. Nobody had ever had two of those, until Tom Coughlin’s Giants, who came from nowhere to this one, who had that 7-7 record, and have now won five in a row from there, gone from nowhere to Indy.
Giants’ Manning Delivers in Fourth Quarter Yet Again - NYTimes.com
Amid the postgame bedlam near the Giants’ team bus, Peyton’s smile was nearly as wide as Eli’s. The elder Manning, whose neck injury kept him sidelined the entire season and has put his status with the Indianapolis Colts into question, did not tell his younger brother that he was planning to attend Sunday’s game. He did not ask Eli for tickets and did not alert him to his presence until greeting him with a celebratory hug. "I told him I loved him," Peyton said. "I told him I was proud of him." From a quarterback’s perspective, Peyton was particularly proud of the touchdown pass Manning threw with just under nine minutes remaining in the fourth quarter.
What a story that is. Apparently the Fox camera crews had no idea Peyton was in the building as well.
Mike Vaccaro says Giants in this miracle run for long haul - NYPOST.com
They aren’t cute, cuddly overachievers anymore. Many of them are veterans of that remarkable game, and many others bear scars of the three seasons in between that fell flat in one way and short in other ways. All of them were 6-6 at one point this season, and 7-7. As a group, they weren’t just written off but buried, cast aside, afterthoughts. Until they started winning. Until they shut up the Jets and shook off the Cowboys, until they blasted Atlanta out of MetLife Stadium, until they walked into Lambeau Field and slapped the Packers silly, then came here to the ’Stick and out-wrestled the Niners in the muck and the mud. Five weeks. Five potential one-and-dones. Five victories. From 7-7 on the brink to 12-7 and Indianapolis.
NY Giants' Victor Cruz makes his point against 49ers, even without a touchdown | NJ.com
Cruz said he won the duel in the first meeting when he caught six balls for 84 yards. Tonight, he won it again — emphatically. The second-year receiver torched Rogers and the rest of the San Francisco 49ers' secondary with 10 catches for 142 yards, continuing what has become a surreal breakout season.
Eli Manning, Tom Coughlin survive again to lead New York Giants to Super Bowl XLVI - Don Banks - SI.com
The Giants are Super Bowl-bound once again -- for the second time in five seasons -- because Manning and Coughlin never believe what they hear. They have confidence in their abilities, resiliency in their nature, and an iron-clad belief in how they go about their business of playing quarterback and coaching a football team.
NY Giants' Mario Manningham comes through for Big Blue this time around; Tom Coughlin predicts Lawrence Tynes NFC Championship Game - NY Daily News
The last time the Giants had faced the Niners, on Nov. 13, Big Blue left Candlestick Park with a 27-20 loss, and Manningham had failed to dive for a late Manning TD pass that would have tied the game. That didn’t happen this time.
New York Giants wide receivers, especially Victor Cruz, have big day against 49ers - San Jose Mercury News
Cruz's performance highlighted another dominant performance by the Giants wide receivers, against a vaunted San Francisco defense, no less. New York wide receivers -- Cruz, Nicks and Mario Manningham -- combined for 214 yards receiving and a touchdown.
Lawrence Tynes and NY Giants weather elements at Candlestick Park and San Francisco 49ers - NY Daily News
This one Sunday, the one that won his second NFC title with his second overtime kick, was from 31 yards, dead center. Sounds easy enough, except the football was slippery, Tynes had to wait about five minutes for the kick, the rain was blowing, the pressure was indescribable and the snap was low. No matter. Tynes slowed his approach just a bit to give Steve Weatherford a chance to recover and set up. The football sailed straight through the uprights, the Giants won 20-17 and now Tynes gets to kick against the Patriots again in a Super Bowl.
By the way, how many of you were hoping for a touchdown there at the end, or getting Tynes to the 1-yard line to have essentially an extra point? I know I was, but I'm thankful things ended the way they did!
Mario Manningham catches fourth-quarter touchdown as Giants beat 49ers, 20-17, for NFC Championship - NYPOST.com
Mario Manningham rewarded fellow receiver Hakeem Nicks’ faith with a catch that helped lift the Giants to the Super Bowl. "I led the prayer [before the game] and told him he was going to make the winning touchdown catch," Nicks said. "He believed in it, and he went out there and did it."
By the way, contrast the TD celebrations of Vernon Davis and Manningham. I mean, Davis is a great player, and I have no problem with excessive celebrations as a rule, but I love how Manningham quietly celebrated with Hakeem Nicks and Victor Cruz.
Giants vs. 49ers: Jacquian Williams, Devin Thomas become unlikely heroes for Giants | NJ.com
Add the names Jacquian Williams and Devin Thomas to the list of improbable postseason heroes for the Giants.
New York Giants' defense comes up big on third downs against 49ers | NJ.com
The 49ers would finish 1-for-13 in that situation, the lone conversion coming on a meaningless play with the Giants in prevent as time expired in regulation.
Steve Serby on Super Bowl rematch between Eli Manning and Tom Brady - NYPOST.com
For Manning and Coughlin, it is a chance to win their second Super Bowl together, which means it is a chance for Coughlin to tie Bill Parcells, and it is a chance for Manning to carry the banner for little brothers everywhere with one more championship than big brother Peyton. In the meantime, he is the first Giants quarterback to take the franchise to two Super Bowls.
Steve Weatherford Giants punter finally gets to Super Bowl after win over 49ers - NYPOST.com
The third time was indeed the charm for Steve Weatherford last night. All it took was the veteran punter changing New Jersey football addresses. After back-to-back championship game failures with the Jets, Weatherford latched on with the Giants and finally landed that Super Bowl trip he feared would never happen yesterday thanks to a 20-17 overtime victory over the 49ers.
Mark Purdy: In the end, miscues end 49ers' magical season - San Jose Mercury News
The 49ers had every chance to win. Based on two touchdown passes to solid-granite tight end Vernon Davis, they took a 7-3 lead in the first half and were ahead, 14-10, with 11:17 remaining in the fourth quarter. They could practically smell a Super Bowl trip to Indianapolis in two weeks. But then punt returner Kyle Williams made two bad mistakes -- a muff and fumble, losing the ball twice to the Giants -- and there went the plane ride to Indiana.
And I know we need a day (or two) to celebrate the NFC title, but here is a small bit looking forward to the Super Bowl on February 5...
Quick Take: Giants-Patriots Super Bowl - AFC East Blog - ESPN
Three things to know about Super Bowl XLVI, which will be played Feb. 5 between the New York Giants and the New England Patriots in Indianapolis:
Congrats to the Giants' organization, the players, the coaches and the fans. We are NFC champions, and we are Super Bowl bound. Believe it!

There was a solid core of us who said
We like ours, let’s play the season and see how it turns out
Exceeded my expectations, but it’s proved the old saying:

On my last day on resort in Punta Cana… and I am posting on BBV, awesome! That game took 5years off my life, but they did it… Super Bowl Bound!!!

I am in shock
Still what a great game now we have to wait 2 weeks
So you are a mommy now?
lol. Sorry could not miss that one.
This is not the 2007 team.

I haven't gone to bed and I'm still drinkin
Wahooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh yeah and I’m at work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Who would of thought Tedd Gin Jr not playing
was the biggest injury impact on this game. Really Really wierd.
Williams mad 1 mistake
Jaquain made a great play, and let’s nt forget Eli making gritty first downs to improve field position so that a play like that was possible. You don’t see that play when Weatherford has to kick 50+ yds
Eli is our King!
Yeah, a great play by Jacquan but he knocked it loose with just a couple fingers, so also a mistake by the return-man.
by BigBlueDeadHead on Jan 23, 2012 9:20 AM EST via mobile up reply actions
No, I knew the minute I saw he was not gonna play, that it was huge. I didn’t even think about the possibility of an inexperienced fill-in making mistakes, but knew that a big return from an experienced TGJ could have been a diff. maker. Turns out an inexperienced fill-in made mistakes.
by BigBlueDeadHead on Jan 23, 2012 9:18 AM EST via mobile up reply actions
Yes, with him not playing helped us with 49ers not getting good field position on some of their drives.
But they were not converting 3rd downs anyway. They would have got some FGs though but Eli can sustain drives when game is on wire.
This is not the 2007 team.
2011 NYG will have their own legacy.
What a way for Eli to come full circle
Eli was mocked and criticized for saying that he was the in the class or Tom Brady. Hell, after the first game, I even posted..
“Yes Eli, you are in the same class as Brady”
I guess that’s why they play 16 games and have a playoff. Funny how Eli can end this all with an “in your face” win over Brady at Peyton’s house. Hellova journey. Hellova game. Hellova team!!
Quinn must go !!
Brady wouldn't have survived the hits Eli took last night..He'd be in the hospital...
"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 never seen Eli get hit that hard and so often
Eli is one tough SOB, that play he got hit his chin strap is up on his nose and he is aware enough to call Time Out after taking a monsterous hit to keep the drive going, I won’t forget that.

That San Fran D is no joke.....
But our boys came to play too. Take away the two monster plays to Davis and this thing is like the Atlanta game. Lots of talk about that San Fran D coming into the game, and rightfully so, but in the end, Alex Smith is still their QB. I’ll take our D and Eli any day of the week.
Quinn must go !!
Yeah Alex Smith really only has Davis..they hardly threw the ball..
They’ll need to upgrade their receiver unit…
"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..."
Part is Smth not getting developed
In our first Super Bowl, Eli was still learning the tough throws, getting it in between 2 defenders, getting it in a small window (Manningham TD)
They need to train him up, cause even the best WRs don’t get wide open that often
Eli is our King!
Maybe Alex Smith can go to the Manning QB school this off season or is it not for pro players?
This is not the 2007 team.
2011 NYG will have their own legacy.
Yeah he looked ridiculous there, like a bird who got in a crash and had his wang and feathers all out of sorts, with his shoulder pads out and sticking up on one side, his helmet all cockneyed and chin strap hanging, ..
by BigBlueDeadHead on Jan 23, 2012 9:23 AM EST via mobile up reply actions
LOL..He probably had to re-adjust his 'wang' too...after that hit..hahaha!!!
"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..."
Those hits on Eli were too much and we need good OL next season.
This is not the 2007 team.
2011 NYG will have their own legacy.
Let's hope we can find out for certain
Need to get to Brady early and often.
Really wishing we hadn’t IR’ed Beatty now. I would plug him in at LT and move Diehl to RT… (Can’t believe I am taking Diehl over anyone but Mackenzie is a statue.
Will lightning really strike twice?
It got really ugly with all that pressure on the outside
Eli is our King!
totally true about Mackenzie
calling a turnstile right now would be a compliment.
Giants Mets, JPP is a MONSTER
Mac stood there and watched Eli get sacked and hit.
i just could not understand why he was so frozen and was just a step or two away and saw the defender approaching!!!
This is not the 2007 team.
2011 NYG will have their own legacy.
Agree, Brady would not have survived those hits.

You PLAY to WIN the GAME.
Dear Tebow, please let the Giants beat the 49ers.
I fell down my carpeted stairs last night
my ass hurts this morning
and I don’t really care!
I’m going back to bed you sickos
You PLAY to WIN the GAME.
Dear Tebow, please let the Giants beat the 49ers.
I almost did that too
I rushed up the stairs to my wife who was watching some show on the Oprah Network or something, tripped, and then dove onto the bed like I was trying to block a kick, face-planted, and then pounded on the bed six times with both hands. There aren’t many moments in a sports fan’s life like last night, and it’s always fun to savor them.
Hahaha!!!!....
I don’t even bother attempting to climb stairs in my what became celebratory condition..haha
"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..."
Besides even if I were to attempt it..my wife would have evicted me from the bedroom...
Due to excessive farting…
"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 lucky I still have my fingers
I was cooking, chopping onions and slicing keilbasa listening to the latter half of the game. Thankfully I was able to still count to 10, in honor of #10.
I spent the night in the ER
My wife jumped up and landed hard after the Tynes kick! After about an hour of celebrating we went to the ER for an x-ray. Fortunately they had ESPN in our room so we passed the time rewatching highlights for hours. Diagnosis: low ankle sprain. Superbowl Status: probable.

You linked the D’Alessandro one twice
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
No worries

Something like 7-2 all time

Wow they deserve a lot of credit...
but Eli in particular, how impressive. He threw the ball 58 times in terrible weather and was hit 20 times, that’s crazy. He just kept getting up and getting back to work. Not enough can be said about just how well Eli preformed, I will never forget this one, one of the all time great preformances by a quarterback if you ask me.

than the one of him calling a time out with grass in his face mask and his shoulder pad hanging out. I saw him at the podium afterward and thought, “that dude has got to be seeing stars”

looked aaawwwwwwffffuuullllll last night. I don’t care how good thier guys are, ya gotta do better than that. At one point I was just hoping we’d get Eli out alive so thjat we’d have him for the foreseeable future.
You down wit JPP?
I got 99 problems but a Vick ain't one!
Tito
I heard from Tito, he will be back at some point. Hope he is enjoying and feeling vindicated.
Though Eli was a bit off last night, in part due to the rain, he still showed he is an elite QB. He took some real hits and kept on coming.
All the Giants should play like Mark Bavaro.
TQ, DD and KMac Must Go!
TC, PF, KG, will stay but should go for the long term good.

Weather??
What weather? All week long, yada yada yada. This is football not golf. I don’t ever want to hear someone saying the weather will impact a game, NEVER
don't look now
but the weather was a major player last night.
Eli’s passses sailed on him more than I’ve seen in years, as well as the deep balls that got knocked down, recievers falling, line drive punts,
I’m glad to see that the Bowl is in a dome.
You down wit JPP?

They already have the Patriots 3.5 point favorites..assholes
Elite QB comparison:
Eli 32-58 316 yards, 2 TDs in pouring rain
Brady 22-36 239 yards, 2 INTs weather not a factor..

Thanks Giants for the win
Yay… Aint that what football is supposed to look like. A battle in the trenches win. Ugly but we’ll take it. The question now is can Brady survive this monster??? I dont think so.
I know someone will FanPost something about this.
I’d like to know how the Giants defense looked statistically if you remove the two coverage breakdowns.
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.
Even with those two big plays
The 9ers went 1-13 on 3rd downs, with their lone conversion coming on the last ditch effort at the end of regulation.
Alex Smith was shook.
The Giants D balled out.

That's what I'm thinking.
Without those two plays the Giants dominated. But, let’s face it, those breakdowns can’t happen in the Super Bowl.

If you do take aways those two big plays
and Alex Smith goes 10-26 for 95 yds and limiting the 9ers offense to just 227 total yards.

They likely will...
the difference is we can put up points and keep up and score on the Pats D. The Niners D is just completely and udderly ridiculous. They are beastly and I am glad we are going to catch a break from them in SB 46.

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.

Thank you. Very admirable of you.
And you guys should be proud. The 9’ers played a hell of a game. They put themselves in position to with the game several times, things just didn’t go their way. You guys have a hell of a team, and a hell of a future ahead of you. Call it ugly, or whatever you want to call it, but I love that kind of football. That defense is incredible, and coming from a lifelong Giants fan, I hope that is appreciated. Safe to say I’ll be pulling for you guys for the forseeable future anytime you’re not playing the Giants.
Hope to see many more battles between our 2 teams in championship games...
It looks like you guys will be contenders for many years to come. Hope we can stay there with you.

They did everything wrong that we complained about all damn year long (the Oline sucked, we couldn’t run the ball, Defensive breakdowns in the secondary cost us 14points, Cap’n Crunch was as conservative as ever, Radio, well he never got soft this time) And yet they find a way to get a ticket to Indy
This will take the majority of the week to absorb.

I suspect they play much better on a dry field and we do too
That’s what happens in a weather game, fair amount if bumbling, hard to predict the TOs, team that wins usually is able to push through better

Amazing
Kudos to Coughlin and Co. Honestly, I have never seen a team play so consistently poorly, then flip a switch and just play balls out for a bunch of games in a row…. The 07 team was NOT like this one, they played bad early, but showed great improvement towards the end of the season. This team was DEAD after the Redskins debacle.
ESPN is rattling off all these stats like the Giants are the first team to be outscored in the regular season and make the SB etc etc….. For alot of us, I just cant say I have ever seen a turnaround of this magnitude…..
For me, I kind of compare Coughlin to Deihl…… Both are consistently maligned by many, including myself….but at the end of it all, we may end up winning TWO Superbowls with Diehl playing both LT and LG…. so eventually, if you get beat over the head with it you have to admit that results are ultimately what matter and mayber our perceptions were not correct.
After last night I'm not so inclined to credit our OTs with much
Maybe adding to Eli’s legacy as the toughest mofo to play QB for the Giants

by trueblue63 on Jan 23, 2012 9:00 AM EST up reply actions 1 recs
perceptions of Deihl
for this season are justified. He and MacKenzie were revolving doors last night, and Eli paid the price 20 times!
Although you are correct, we here don’t really know crap. I too once called for Coughlin’s removal, but by midseason this year I finally realized the guy is the real deal. This is a complete shocker as far as I’m concerned.
I was content with just beating the Eagles back in week 3. I thought that would be our Superbowl. But to see them regroup throughout the year, and finally get it together down the stretch and get the NFC East crown over the Cowboys, at home, in week 17! F’n unbelievable.
Now to see them turn this run into an NFC Championship, and a trip to the show?! I’m at a loss for words.
You down wit JPP?
I got 99 problems but a Vick ain't one!
If someone told you that....
Eli would throw 58 times in that game, knowing the conditions….
And that he would be sacked 6 times, and hit 22 times, would you think we would win?
if they told us that there would be 0 turnovers by us, than yes.

by BigBlueIntervention on Jan 23, 2012 8:54 AM EST up reply actions
i had no doubt that we will not turn over the ball. There was no way Eli was going to throw an INT or players losing fumbles. They knew the ground and ball will be wet and slippery & they raised their intensity to a higher level to take care of business
This is not the 2007 team.
2011 NYG will have their own legacy.
I've never seen a QB performance like that.
He was getting rocked by that nasty D all game. And how many 3rd and longs can you convert against a tough D in a championship game?
Yes
Cause if Eli is on the field I think we will win.

There was a silly poll on NFL.com recently
Which QB would you rather have for one drive with the game on the line? Answers were Brady, Rodgers, Brees or Tebow.
Needless to say, I declined to answer in protest to the fact that Rodgers could be considered more clutch than Eli

Congrats from Niners Nation
It was great fun talking pigskin with you guys all week and last nights game was an instant classic.
I hope you didn’t get any nasty trolls in your game threads from our end. We had some in ours but they were Saints trolls that wanted to rub salt in the wounds. The guys from BBV that came into our game threads were cool and respectful, and I take my hat off to ya.
I hope we see a rebirth of the rivalry of the late 80’s and early 90’s with both of our franchises becoming dominant in the NFC again. You guys surely deserved the win last night and many of us Niner fans will be rooting for you against New England!! Hope to see you next year — maybe with a better offense. =P
Sack Brady for us!!!!!
Every time Jamie Dukes says something enlightening and informative about football Jerry Rice and I mount up on our flying grizzly bears and claim pirate treasure from the moon. That's how often it happens.

LOL… Reese is a freaking Genius. I had a brief convo with him at training camp in 2010 while he was signing my Giants helmet and the guy is a pure gentleman and a very smart. I’ll never forget the impression he left on me in the brief minute or 2 when we were all talking around him in a bit of a crowd.

Kudos to Jerry Reese
Solid picks and UDFA agents making contributions across the board. Even Beckum made some plays. I can see him having a big day in Indy; Eli and KG seem to be working him into the offense.
Time to terrorize Brady again. There’s no 92 this time, but now we have #90 to chase him down.
Speaking of which, it amazes me when JPP is blocked up on a run play and just reaches out with one arm and brings down a guy like Gore. He did that at least twice last night. It’s incredible. Also played very smart, keeping contain on A.Smith on a few plays. He’s getting better, week in and week out.
It’ll be nice being able to bring the house and not worry about the QB making plays with his legs—Brady won’t run unless it’s a designed play, or he is in deep doo-doo.
