2012 Super Bowl, Giants Vs. Patriots: Does Layoff Help, Or Hurt, Giants?

PrintIf you are like most NFL fans you absolutely hate the two-week layoff between the conference championship games and the Super Bowl. If your team is not in the game you just want the season to be completely over with, in fact maybe you consider it over with, anyway. If your team is in the game, like the New York Giants are in Super Bowl XLVI, you just want the talking to stop and the game to begin.
Asked Tuesday about the layoff between games, though, Giants safety Antrel Rolle made an interesting observation.
"I'm not too antsy. This last stretch has been an exhausting one, a lot of hard work, you're just putting everything to the side for these five games, which was very much needed. It took a lot of mental space, as well as physical pounding and doing whatever it took to get to this point," Rolle said. "And you know, once we're here, we're not going to stop now. So I'm going to enjoy this little time off, and once we come back to work on Thursday, I will be ready and full speed. Like I said, it all starts in practice."
That's a good point. The Giants have played five consecutive "all-in" elimination games. They are rolling and you might think playing this Sunday would help them keep that momentum going.
Maybe, though, the Giants will benefit from a little rest before facing the New England Patriots.
Your thoughts, Giants fans? Is it making you crazy to have to wait another week-and-a-half? Do you think the time off helps the Giants? Hurts the Giants? Doesn't make any difference?

M-M-M-M-MOMENTUM BREAKER!!!!!!!!
Not only that, but we’ve got minimal injuries right now…just a few bumps and bruises. They have an injured Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski that are sure to completely heal (at least Brady) in two weeks. The extra week is the worst thing to happen to us.

True
but this extra week helps the guys that got knocked around big time in the 9er game like Nicks, Eli, Blackburn, Cruz, Ballard, etc. A few extra days in an ice bath

I agree
We played the bloodbath, for all the Ravens rep, they haven’t been hard in 5 years or more. Gronk might feel better, but I’m all in for Cruz, Nicks, Eli and AB getting the rest
Also in 2 weeks maybe they can get Diehl and McKenzie some hypnosis, (in an eerie far away voice) you can block a pass rusher…
Eli is our King!
Block like a truck

I’m wondering about Hakeem. His arm/shoulder didn’t look good when he came off the field, and he had no impact after that.
by NorthwestFan on Jan 25, 2012 1:46 PM EST up reply actions
he actually did alot more then I originally thought
he had a few catches after he came back it. One of them on thrid down to help set up Ham’s TD. I think with the extra rest he will be 100% fine come SB Sunday

After that extremely physical game in SF and being on the road, this will be a useful rest for many of the Giants players.
With all the SB 42 vetrans they will be fine. Starting with Mr Cool, Eli.

Was just about to say the same thing. Their bodies could use the extra week after the SF game. (and fortunately for SF, they have about 28 weeks to let their own bodies heal…)

Guys have been pulling all-nighters for ALL of their exams
Didn’t really study during the year, only sometimes did their homework, handed in most of their reports on time, got extensions for a couple of other ones. Watched the ‘good students’ ACE the exams and do all of the extra credit stuff.
Pulled all-nighters before 5 big exams.
Nailed all of them. Straight A’s.
Time to let the caffeine jitters settle down, sleep dead to the world.
Get up.
Nail the Final exam.
Screw that studying all year stuff. 9-7, 13-3, its all the same, why sweat it.

Brady can take big hits too
SB 42 featured 5 sacks and 20 or so QB knock downs. Did it throw off Tom’s timing on throws… sure did, but he got up after each one and played his heart out.

But he does flinch under duress.

For the record Brady did his job
Hit Moss in the Endzone for what shouild have been the go ahead points, if he was ducking I didn’t notice it. Brady is tough, you can get him fustrated but he won’t chuck and duck.
by Late for Dinner on Jan 25, 2012 2:07 PM EST up reply actions
Yep...
Brady is not afraid to take a A hit. But he is afraid to take REPEATED hits especially thise thay he doesn’t see coming. Won’t stop him from playing his game but the defense can get in his head if they hit him enough.
If you want to argue that Manning is a) not a great quarterback or b) not the best quarterback in franchise history your credibility is automatically shot.

too bad the question asked
who keeps fighting after hits? Answer: Brady in Super Bowl 42.
World Series attitude, champagne bottle life, nothing every changes so tonight is like tomorrow night.
and Big deal
Brady kept “fighting” after taking hits..you mean he did his job? Glad to see it!
I may not like the T. Brady
but he does have that “Kill” drive in him…
inches is what 5 sacks in the superbowl, caused Tom to miss… a couple of inches less, Tom hits Moss for an 80 yard TD in the final 20 seconds.
I may not like the guy, but I do fear him. Must have the JWill philosophy here.. Gotta hit him. Early. Often. Hard. only then will he miss fire.
Regardless of what happens, No playoffs, playoffs, no superblow, superblow.... The 2011/2012 is one of my favorite Giants Teams of all time.
The biggest thing, I think
is the extra week will allow whatever was wrong with Hakeem’s shoulder to heal a little more. I haven’t seen it talked about much or what happened, but he was favoring it during the SF game very badly (I noticed when he went to celebrate something and only one arm went up).
Even today, I still feel like Rolle looks in that pic
Can you believe the GMEN MADE IT to the SB? Can’t believe it bro, can’t believe it~
You gotta do like the Jerry Rices do when they score a TD
Act like you’ve been there before, because you have. We’ve taken the three “worst teams” to the Super Bowl. The first two came home with the hardware. Of course we believe. We’ve been there before like this.

Without doubt the break is well timed and well needed. These guys look EXHAUSTED – both mentally and physically. I understand some people want to keep momentum. A week off does not a momentum break! These guys need to see their families, heal some nagging wounds and injuries, prepare in earnest for a TOUGH Pats offense. Having a week off is not an excuse for a loss. To a man I’m positive each and every Giants player will attest to that. GMEN!!

It helps us
We were the ones that had to play the #1 offense in the league.. and the #1 defense the week after.. I actually think a week off, to help the non-injured…. the bruised is the best thing to happen to us since P.F. got his head out of his arse.
Regardless of what happens, No playoffs, playoffs, no superblow, superblow.... The 2011/2012 is one of my favorite Giants Teams of all time.
I'm split
I think it hurts momentum to stop playing, however we just played a very physical team in the 49ers so I’m sure guys are bruised up a bit and that extra time will get all the soreness out.
It's still GIANTS Stadium
You down wit JPP---yeah you know me
Refreshed
Agreed with the pro-rest crowd. The SF game was punishing, brutal…and involved a cross-country flight, which is taxing in its own ways.
An extra week of rest for Eli, the aging OL, Bradshaw’s foot, Ballard’s knee, Nicks’ nicks, Tuck’s shoulder, Baas’ various injuries…these will all help us come out of the gate strong and fresh.
TC knows how to schedule these 2 weeks as well – he won’t set them up for a letdown. If things go according to plan, they will be peaking again with high intensity right at the kickoff.
I don't and never have liked these layovers...
But if all the players feel like Rolle does than maybe it won’t matter too much…I hate it that that dumbass pro-bowl game is in the middle…

Off Subject but
I am tired of Harbaugh crying about Bradshaw fumbling! Sour grapes. Play was over and foward progress over with. How about the challenge we had to use on the punt or the obvious offside that wasnt called on one of our last drives in the 4th quarter? I hate that when a good team does that.Step up and say the truth, Williams holds on to the ball and niners win. Hope he enjoys the off season with his brother! Now on to the Super Bowl and I feel better! LOL
We got a correct call, that actually benefited us. There were other calls during the year and playoffs that did not go our way. that's the way it goes.
I understand his frustration, but it was the correct call.
imagine what they would be saying
if they had a call go against them, much like the jennings fumble went against us.

teh way the Giants defense was playing, its really tough to say the Niners score points there. Maybe they get a FG, or maybe Smith gets sacked 3 times and pushes them out of FG range. Lets leave the assumptions to the Eagles fans.

Biggest factor to me is Gronk. I think he’s not near 100% if he doesn’t have the extra week, but I think most our guys would be close to full speed. If Gronk is limited, that’s a huge hit to their O.

Gotta remember this too
this isn’t like the top seed bye weeks in the first week of the playoffs. That’s 4 teams sitting around while 8 others are battling it out and the 4 winner come out ready to go again. In recent years, a lot of top seeded teams have lost in the second round to the “hotter” team.
This is much different. It is just 2 teams with the same amount of rest getting ready for the SB.

"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 think it is slightly in our favor because of the Defensive players that played the last time
Offensively I think it’s a push, since both QB’s are back
Of course it favors us.
I still think our guys are banged up, Tuck and Dream in particular. Those two with two weeks off? Osi still could use some rest as well. And of course after that beating last week, they could use some rest.
Who cares if Gronk can get healthy? We beat them last time with a 100% Gronk. And that was without Dream.
Last night, a comedian died in New York. Somebody knows why. Somebody knows

true that
and I’m sure ABs feet could use the break too. And Jacobs knee, and Ballard’s knee, and Sash’s concussion…
Osi didn't play either
Just curious who did we play after the bye?

Just. Stay. Focused.
This last game is gonna be the toughest test for a team that has been able to ace everything thrown in front of them for the past month plus.
As long as the same amount of attention to detail, and will to keep fighting once they get punched is there… then I for one feel like they could very likely pull this off.

What I like about Beckum is that....
…absolutely no opponent game plans for him to touch the ball.
I would love to see the kid step up and make a big play in the Super Bowl — not to silence the doubters, but to provide an unexpected lift a la Boss’ big catch in SB XLII. It will take contributions from all 53 to win.

IMO, after this year and just watching this guy..
He is so more athletic than Ballard. But we need Ballard for blocking. KG needs to get him more involved, and not just on 3rd downs. I like what NE is doing with #81, and I think Beckum can do a whole lot more.

You can't prove momentum
and if the theory is true then we get murdered in super bowl 42. Momentum doesn’t matter. Getting Nicks, Webster, Tuck, Osi, Canty and whoever with their nagging injuries is a must. And as Rolle just frickin said above they need the rest. Momentum is another overrated aspect of sports.
World Series attitude, champagne bottle life, nothing every changes so tonight is like tomorrow night.
Mindset
Of the collective unit, as in that of the entire 53 man roster, is far more important.
If you believe in yourself, your team and your dream you cannot fail.

by Commander Prime on Jan 25, 2012 3:08 PM EST up reply actions
it can be argued
intelligently that the Giants had more momentum then the Pats. The Giants like this season played playoff caliber football for several weeks prior to the playoffs while the Pats had long ago clinched home field.
Momentum is a factor in all sports except baseball where the next day’s pitcher can end momentum.
Pats have won 10 straight
I would say they have some momentum of their own…

why there is so much hatred on Eli
From
http://philly.sbnation.com/philadelphia-eagles/2012/1/24/2730063/the-nfl-playoffs-it-shoulda-been-us
As for the Giants, I don’t care how many comebacks he leads, games he wins, or Super Bowls he reaches. Eli Manning is still a loser and a choker, and always will be.
And this gem
Meanwhile, it was reported after the game that, knowing his concussion history, the Giants intentionally targeted 49ers’ kick returner Kyle Williams. That’s the Eagles’ problem! If they ever showed that sort of toughness and tenacity on defense, maybe they’d be in the Super Bowl. But they’re not, and with the failure to reel in Steve Spagnuolo and the likely return of Juan Castillo, expect the titleless-since-1960 streak to continue.

Philly
Has nothing else to talk about. Least credible fans in the NFL.
If we played home game last week
I would say this layoff hurts the Giants. But after playing the late games at the West coast, and have to travel to Indy, I would say it is advantage Giants. Then it helps the Pats coz Gronk is hurt right now. so it’s kinda even.
Two week layoff and the Pats
I think it’s hurt them a bit in SB’s. Look at all 4 in the BB era
36 vs Rams 1 week, they play the game of their lives and pull a huge upset 14 point dogs in that game
38 vs Panthers 2 weeks, huge favortes yet barley survive a shootout with Jake Delhome. Pats D was unbelievable that year but got tourched by the Panthers O
39 vs Philly 2 weeks, big favoretes again but they kinda slept walked through a close but boring game after tearing apart a tougher Indy and Steeler team in the AFC playoffs. And if McNabb was able to handle the pressure the Pats very well could of lost that game
42 vs Giants 2 weeks, we all know what happened.
I gues my point is, their best effort came with a one week layoff in the other 3 SBs they’ve played with two weeks, they’ve been a little off and have not covered the spread even in the ones they’ve won.
Yes it helps the gmen
A tough stretch they just went through with a few dings. Extra week off will help more than it will the Pats who appeared a bit rusty against the Ravens.
Too funny
the comment about Eli, from Eagles SB nation, being a choke. Worst delusional sour grapes opinion in a long time.
