Super Bowl 2012 Facts And Figures

Here are some Super Bowl XLVI facts and figures for you courtesy of the NFL's PR Department. Some of these we have likely already talked about, but I figured we would go ahead and put them in one place for your perusal.
- The 2012 Super Bowl will be the first in which quarterbacks who each have a Super Bowl MVP award will play against one another. New England's Tom Brady is one of only four players to win it multiple times, with Joe Montana (three times) Terry Bradshaw and Bart Starr.
- This will be the third quarterback rematch in Super Bowl history. You will like the way the other two turned out, which is shown below:
- During the 2011 regular season, Brady passed for 5,235 yards and Manning had 4,933 passing yards. The duo combined for 10,168 passing yards, which would be the most ever by opposing starting quarterbacks in a Super Bowl. Brady and Manning combined for 8,142 passing yards in 2007, which would rank fourth all-time.
- The Giants (9-7) - who defeated Atlanta (10-6), Green Bay (15-1) and San Francisco (13-3) - are only the second team to reach the Super Bowl via playoff victories over three opponents with a better regular-season record than its own (Arizona, 2008).
- Head coach Bill Belichick and QB Brady are headed to their fifth Super Bowl together, the most ever by a head coach and starting quarterback combination. The duo had previously been tied with Pro Football Hall of Famers Tom Landry-Roger Staubach(Dallas), Chuck Noll-Bradshaw (Pittsburgh) and Marv Levy-Jim Kelly (Buffalo).

I like that...like it alot...and it will be...!!!!!
"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 agree with Bobbi
I don’t see the Patsies D keeping us under 30 pts. I am thinking we win by more than 1 touchdown
Let's not Brady ourselves here
Play as though they’re going to shut you out, so your defense stays hungry. I think it’s as likely both teams are under 30 as it is both are up in the 40’s. These are two evenly matched teams here.

I believe...
We’re even at QB…We have a better defense..and a better set of offensive weapons..I just can’t imagine us losing, in fact I’m thinking we’ll beat them big..
"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 agree that we match up well,
but I don’t think we’ll win big. I’m thinking like a 3 or 4 point victory will suffice.
If we win by 1 or 2, however...
I will be irate!
If we win period
Our right to be angry is suspended for the month of February

Have a lot of fun and take a zillion pics and share some with us later.
This is not the 2007 team.
2011 NYG will have their own legacy.
this is what ive been thinking all week
the pats beat 1 team with a winning record all year. (last week against the ravens). & we seem to have their #. With the way we’ve been playing lately, I just dont see how they keep it close.
"Do you realize if we don't hit Brady, we don't win the game?" --Michael Strahan
Talk is Cheap! Play the Game!
You can't spell Elite without ELI.
I always get nervous about playing the Pats and
Trying to beat them twice in a season will be a monumental task.
Why is Tom Quinn still here? I loves me some Coach Clawfin.
Love the title Ed
The game on Feb 5th will be played with a football and the winner will be the team that scores more points.

just watched the Giants get off the plane
Coughlin was walking with his wife and she was smiling and yapping something in his ear. I swear he didn’t even change his facial expression.
He’s so focused on the SB I bet if someone said, “Hey Tom, we forgot your wife in NY,” he would say something like, “Wife? I have a wife?”

The Super Bowl is being played on 2/5
2 × 5 = 10…Manning’s number…BOOM
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.
Also...2/5/12...
2 + 5 +1 + 2 = 10…Manning’s number…BOOM!

We’re the Spaniards, baby..The Mayans don’t have a chance..

I know, right. :-)
They were too busy ripping out peoples hearts to sacrifice to the Gods while the Spaniards were buliding ships and learning about gunpowder from the chinese.
The truth. The REAL voice of reason
Mayan end of the world...
12/21/12…
1+2+2+1+1+2 = 9….Tynes’ number. Tynes kicks the Giants to their 4th Super Bowl victory?

Keep up the good work :-)
What about the fact that I have a dentist appointment on 2/9/12. Does that factor in in any way?
The truth. The REAL voice of reason
2/9/12, huh?
That comes to 23…Webster’s number. Webster’s job is to make sure his guy doesn’t get “wide open”. Dentists ask you to “open wide”. Corey Webster doesn’t want you to go to the dentist!

2nd superbowl appearance in 5 years (2007 thru 2012). 2X5 = 10 Eli's number.
This is not the 2007 team.

Yes, the Brady Calendar is set to expire on....
Feb 5th 2012
Yes sir!!!

For you folks out there who are really superstitious
If we win the game, “I-wish-I-was-Peyton” will have beaten Brady on the world’s biggest stage twice. To top it all off, it is 2012. Hopefully, come 2/6/2012 I will be fabricating a blueprint for a bunker.

Champions of all time
Baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In legends of old when men played a game called football
The NY Football Giants were the Champions. These Giants as they were called. Fought with great determination and effort and were men amongst men on this thing called a football Field. Men cheered and worshiped these great warriors. We can only Imagine to be as Great as The NY Football Giants. Now put out the fire It’s time for bed.

End of world would mean that the eagles did never won a superbowl.
This is not the 2007 team.

More fun facts and figures.
2011 figures from NFL.com. Interesting breakdown on drafts,FA pick ups, salary cap figures of the Pats and the GMEN.
None of those salary figures are correct
Several (Cruz, Faulk, Solder, Blackburn) violate the CBA.
You can't spell "Eli Manning and the NY Giants win Super Bowl 46"
without “Eli.”

another interesting SB fact
Princess the Camel from the Popcorn Park Zoo in Lacey Twp, NJ has predicted 5 of the lst 6 SB winners correctly. This year she chose the Giants to win.

I just want the chance to blow a bunch of money on nyGiants SuperBowl memorabilia
Die hard Giants fan since wide Right! I was 5...
I'm down wit JPP
Yea you know me
Win Ugly.
-Eli Manning for MVP
The nerves are really starting to set in
I DO NOT LIKE all the positive press Big Blue is getting. I know TC and Tuck and Eli have that on lockdown, but still, it worries me. The Patriots can be downright frightening when they have a chip on the shoulder. And given everything (XLII, the regular season loss, the amount of press the Giants are getting, “only” a 3 point line, etc.), they have to have a boulder on their shoulder.
Don’t think Dr. Evil isn’t in that locker room needling them.
