Rejected Super Bowl commercialsGiants fans...XLVI reasons to believe!
Happy Anniversary, Super Bowl XXI!What we learned from the Week 9 battle
"Spooky" to see Giants-Patriots againRevenge a real factor for Patriots

Jan 28 Nothing the Patriots do is going to stop David Tyree from pinning the football to his head like a high school graduate securing a mortar board, or reverse an all-out blitz call that left gimpy cornerback Ellis Hobbs in man-to-man coverage with Plaxico Burress. If we must make the rematch/revenge angle relevant for the Patriots matchup with the Giants in Super Bowl XLVI we don't have to revisit Super Bowl XLII four years ago. We can hit rewind and go back to Nov. 6, when the Patriots lost, 24-20, to the Giants at Gillette Stadium.

There is no secret to the Giants' game plan in Super Bowl XLVI. It's the same one they had in November. It's the same one they had in Super Bowl XLII. To win this game, they have to stop Tom Brady. And to stop him, the defense knows it has to hit him often, and hard. The Giants overwhelmed Brady in Super Bowl XLII, sacking him five times and hitting him nine times. Brady still completed 29-of-48 for 266 yards and a touchdown. But running one of the most prolific offenses in NFL history, he was held to just 14 points.

New England Patriots nose tackle Vince Wilfork may cause chaos for the Giants' offensive line in the Super Bowl next Sunday. After the Patriots' (generously listed) 325-pound defensive lineman took over the AFC Championship Game last week, the game was vindication for a 31st-ranked Patriots defense that had been doubted and criticized all season, deemed unfit to make the Super Bowl, even with Tom Brady on the other side of the ball.

Giants tight end Jake Ballard says he will not need to undergo surgery on his partially torn PCL (posterior cruciate ligament) in his right knee. In the Giants' Week 9 victory in New England, Ballard had four catches for 67 yards -- including a beautiful game-winning touchdown grab with 15 seconds remaining to give his team a 24-20 win.

Giants defensive end Osi Umenyiora says he'll "rekindle" his rivalry with the Patriots' Matt Light in Super Bowl XLVI. "Yeah, man, it is what it is. Me and him, I've actually fought him twice, actual real fight on the football field, twice," Umenyiora said. "Me and him, we have history. We're going to rekindle it on Sunday."

As Giants cornerback Corey Webster prepares for his second Super Bowl, he proclaimed on Friday that he believes he's the top cornerback in the NFL. The cornerback made his claim after he was asked if it's hard to get attention with Revis in town and if him and fellow cornerback Aaron Ross like flying under the radar.
Webster was quick to add that fellow cornerback Aaron Ross and the rest of the Giants' secondary "feel the same way," so perhaps his self-appraisal wasn't as boastful as it first appeared. Still, Webster has every reason to be proud of what has been an excellent 2011 campaign - with bookend corner Terrell Thomas missing the entire season after suffering a torn ACL in training camp.

In Week 14, Antrel Rolle and Corey Webster got mixed up on a call, allowing the Dallas Cowboys' Dez Bryant to score an uncontested 50-yard touchdown against the Giants' confused secondary. Cris Collinsworth, calling the game for NBC, said Rolle got "barbecued" on the play. "Get out of here with that, man," Rolle said in the days after the comment.
Antrel Rolle was the one who said the Giants" opponents on their schedule should fear them. He was the one who called pesky slot receiver Wes Welker human, and the one who labeled the Patriots' inflated offense "nothing spectacular." With the Patriots circling back for another crack at the Giants, it seems Rolle has taken a different approach, from decidedly confident to tacitly humble.

The demeanor of Tom Coughlin has changed, allowing for more jokes and laughs over the years, but the way he runs his team hasn't. From 2004 to now, the Giants head coach does not believe he has really changed as a coach in his eight seasons with the team.

Super Bowl XLII

Jan 27 On Feb. 5, the Patriots dynamic duo will attend their fifth Super Bowl together, the most in NFL history. Only the showdown with the Giants after the 2007 season ruined their perfect slate. Bill Belichick has been on the sidelines for all of Tom Brady's 16 playoff wins and five losses, and Brady has been under center for each of Belichick's three Super Bowl titles with the Pats. Apart, they are a former sixth-round draft pick no one wanted and a failed coach for the Cleveland Browns. Together, they make magic.

With 10 days left before kickoff, this time period feels like it's dragging for Pierre-Paul. "It does. I'm ready to play," he said today. "Just see who's going to be Super Bowl champions." Still, Pierre-Paul realizes the down time is valuable for some people, including the seven players who sat out practice.

Eli Manning stepped up in the pocket, assuming he had evaded San Francisco 49ers rookie sack sensation Aldon Smith barreling past right tackle Kareem McKenzie off the edge. A split second later, Smith blindsided him with the force of a Mack truck, snapping Manning's head back, forcing out a grunt from Manning drawn out on slow-motion replay and flattening him face first for the 49ers' fourth sack of the game.

After putting together a string of quality games protecting Manning and being able to establish the run, the offensive line will have to rebound following a dismal performance against the 49ers in the NFC Championship Game. In the second half of the win, Manning seemed like he was pressured, hit or sacked on virtually every one of his throws.

With two weeks of preparation, the Giants believe they're going to be ready for anything and everything that the Patriots will throw at them. Including when New England switches its base defense between a 3-4 and 4-3 defensive front during the game. "To be honest, I don't think it's that challenging," center David Baas said.

The Giants have registered nine sacks in their first three victories in the playoffs after recording 48 in the regular season. In the playoffs, the Patriots' offensive line has been very stingy by allowing just one sack in its two games. The Giants' pass rush is going to have to be at its best to try and rattle one of the premier quarterbacks in the league.

Patriots quarterback Tom Brady called Eli Manning a "great quarterback," and coach Bill Belichick said he's had a "great year." "I've seen firsthand what he can do in the fourth quarter of these games," Brady said, referencing Manning's game-winning drives against the Patriots in Super Bowl XLII and Week 9 this year.

The Giants were able to deal with the elements at soggy Candlestick Park on Sunday, but the numbers show their offense plays better in domes. In three dome games this season, Giants quarterback Eli Manning has averaged 360 pass yards and the offense has averaged 445 total yards. This will be the Patriots' first dome game this season.

New York Giants safety Deon Grant could care less about the New England Patriots trying to avenge their stunning loss to the underdog Giants in Super Bowl XLII. "They feel like the first Super Bowl we beat them in was a lucky one. That's the talk," Grant said. "They're still not giving the Giants their credit. We feel like we have something to go out there and prove."

Mathias Kiwanuka has probably gotten a ton of ticket requests, seeing as how Super Bowl XLVI is being played in his hometown. As for Devin Thomas, he only needs one. "As long as my dad is there, that's all that matters," the Giants special teams ace said Thursday. "Everybody else can celebrate after we handle our business."

There is little doubt left that the Giants' trio of wide receivers - Hakeem Nicks, Victor Cruz and Mario Manningham - are among the elite units in the NFL. Simmering beneath the surface is a small desire for respect, but for right now they are content to let their exact worth be determined by debates in bar rooms and sports talk radio.
Hakeem Nicks started and played in a career-high 15 games this season. The only hole came in Week Nine against the New England Patriots, and now the wide receiver will fill that blank stat line in Super Bowl XLVI. Nursing a hamstring injury at the time, Nicks, who is now working through a shoulder injury, will play the Patriots for the first time in his three-year career. To whose advantage that will be remains to be seen.

Jan 26 Special Report - It was with an almost amused point of view all season that one listened to Giant fans criticizing general manager Jerry Reese, head coach Tom Coughlin and the two coordinators, Kevin Gilbride (offense) and Perry Fewell (defense). In the end, all it proved was that coaches are generally only as good as the players they have, and that Reese did a more astute job than anyone was ready to admit.

Patriots secondary is Giants' primary target. Joe Flacco was stumbling around in the pocket, searching for open receivers, under intense pressure from the Patriots defense. Then the first quarter ended, and the Ravens offense led by Flacco moved the ball with relative ease against the overwhelmed Patriots defense. The Ravens scored on four of their next five possessions from the start of the second quarter to the middle of the fourth quarter.

The Patriots Don't Have Eli. Eli Manning didn't yell at Hakeem Nicks. He didn't scold, he didn't gesture wildly, he didn't even say anything about Nicks reading the 49ers' defense wrong, running the wrong route and letting Manning's ball hang on the very first pass of the Giants' biggest game all year.

Justin Tuck, who had the game of his life in Glendale, is still here, so is Osi Umenyiora. Mathias Kiwanuka, who missed that Super Bowl with an injury, is healthy now. Chris Canty is the player the Giants thought they were getting. Jason Pierre-Paul? He has become an ascendant star of his sport. Now the guys up front try to do it to Brady again in Indianapolis.

Both the AFC and NFC title games were decided in large part by special teams miscues. The Patriots' 23-20 win over the Ravens was in doubt until Baltimore kicker Billy Cundiff shanked a potential game-tying, 32-yard field goal attempt with 11 seconds remaining. The Giants outlasted the 49ers thanks to a pair of fumbles by San Francisco punt returner Kyle Williams, including one in overtime that led to New York's game-winning field goal.

Amanda Tynes faces pressure as a kicker's wife. By now, Amanda Tynes knows what a good kicking "operation" looks like. And it doesn't start with the low snap that nearly skidded off the wet Candlestick Park grass Sunday evening as her husband lined up for the second NFC Championship Game-winning kick of his career. So she looked away.

2007 Championship Season

Jan 25 - UPDATE A private woman, Ann Mara, widow of Giants patriarch Wellington Mara, became an Internet sensation this week with her staunch support of her beloved team but is currently resting at home after breaking her shoulder in an accidental fall. Mara's oldest son, Giants owner John Mara, said, "She is home and resting, though not very comfortably. Will be listed as probable for next week."

Jan 25 Eli Manning stood in front of the Giants and addressed them Tuesday about the importance of the next two weeks. "It comes down to us getting our preparation done this week," Manning said. "If you do extra meetings - the meetings that I hold with my running backs or something I do with my receivers, I'm going to try to get all of that done this week, because once you get out to Indianapolis, your routine does get thrown off."

Eli Manning said today he doesn't regret saying he was "elite" in the preseason and, in a rare public jab, that the media's job is to "talk and make up stories." Just like he did four seasons ago when he fired back at Tiki Barber for saying his attempts at leadership were "comical," Manning stunned reporters with his jab today when asked if he regretted the comment.

As much as Eli Manning will be able to consult his brother, Peyton Manning, about playing at Lucas Oil Stadium and the sound cadence there, he's not sure that the Colts quarterback will be able to help him out. "I don't think he's ever been the away team in his home stadium," Eli Manning said.

The Giants think they can stop Tom Brady, or at least slow him down enough to win this Super Bowl in 11 days. It's not as if he's Rex Grossman, the seemingly mighty Washington quarterback who slayed the Giants twice this season. They've beaten Brady the last two times they've played him. They know what makes Brady queasy, how pressure up the middle makes him uncomfortable.

Tom Coughlin's job security seemed to be a topic of conversation and debate every other week before the Giants began their magical run from being stuck at 7-7 and a play or two from missing the playoffs to NFC champions. Conversely, Bill Belichick might be the only coach in the NFL who's almost guaranteed to leave his team on his own terms - a remarkable feat in a profession where unhappy, pink-slip endings are the norm. Despite the contrasts between the two coaches, they share common denominators.

Giants linebacker Michael Boley honestly can't remember the last time he watched the Super Bowl. Seriously. "I don't watch the Super Bowl if I'm not in it," said Boley, who will play in his first one on Feb. 5 against New England, on Tuesday. "I've been like that since I've been in the league." Boley has been in the NFL for seven seasons.

While several Giants players and coaches will be reliving the glory of a similar playoff run four years ago that culminated with a Super Bowl win over the next two weeks, four players in this year's locker room know not all Super Bowls have a fairy tale ending. They are Rocky Bernard, Deon Grant, Antrel Rolle and Tony Ugoh, and all three lost in the big game.

Giants safety Antrel Rolle kept his eyes on the backfield -- and it cost him. Matched up in slot coverage against 49ers tight end Vernon Davis, Rolle got barbecued for a 73-yard touchdown that put San Francisco ahead 7-0 in the first quarter of Sunday afternoon's NFC Championship game. Rolle hopes he got all of his mistakes out of the way last Sunday.

Some Giants say they went after Kyle Williams with the intent to take him out of the game. There was the mishandled pitch from running back Kendall Hunter on a wide receiver end-around in the first quarter that he was able to recover. Then there was the awkward diving catch of a punt that could've been disastrous. And, of course, there were the major gaffes that ultimately cost the 49ers a trip to the Super Bowl: the muffed punt that glanced off his knee and his fumble on a punt return.

Getting away from Mike Westhoff proved to be the best move for Steve Weatherford. As the Giants punter readies for his first Super Bowl in what he believes has been his best season of his career, Weatherford said on Tuesday that joining forces with Giants special teams coach Tom Quinn has taken him to the next level. The Giants punter didn't talk highly of his former special teams coach either.

Giants - Patriots: Super Bowl from A to Z. There is still more than a week to go before kickoff for the big game, so it's a good time for a Big Blue breakdown. Here's everything you need to know about the Giants from A (Amukamara) to Z (Zeke Mowatt)

Former Giants
David Tyree sees Giants as 'carbon copy' of 2007 team that won Super Bowl XLII. Four years after making the improbable catch with his head in the Giants' Super Bowl victory over the Patriots, Tyree, a native of Montclair, said he plans to be Indianapolis for the rematch and admitted the Giants' run and how it has played out, will help his marketability.
David Tyree - For the next two weeks through Super Bowl XLVI, highlights of Tyree's amazing helmet catch from Super Bowl XLII will be played over and over again. For Tyree, it was the defining moment of his six-year career and he's back in the spotlight again now that the Giants and Patriots are facing each other again.


tyree

Manning's incredible scramble and throw followed by Tyree's now-legendary 3rd down catch against his helmet, kept the winning drive alive and enabled the Giants' 17-14 victory against the previously undefeated New England Patriots, making his the most famous helmet in Super Bowl history. They are in The Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, OH.

Jan 24 The Giants are headed for Indianapolis and Super Bowl XLVI, after beating the 49ers in the NFC Championship Game on Sunday. Exactly how well did the G-Men play in San Francisco? View the Giants' NFC Championship Game report card.
Post columnist Steve Serby lays out why Giants fan should be confident about Big Blue's Super Bowl rematch with the Patriots on Feb. 5 in Indianapolis. Serby gives Giants fans...XLVI reasons to believe!

Eli Manning says extra week before Giants-Patriots Super Bowl is a good thing. What he means is he felt every bit as bad as he looked when he was slammed to the ground during Sunday's NFC Championship Game victory in San Francisco and got up with his chinstrap out of place, grass in his facemask and his shoulder pad sticking out of the neck hole of his jersey. Manning was sacked six times during the game and, according to the official scorer, was hit a total of 12 times.

The Giants have won five straight since losing to the Redskins on Dec. 18 and dropping to 7-7. They now sit one way from their second Super Bowl in the Manning Era. In the Giants' way, of course, are the New England Patriots, the same team they beat in Super Bowl XLII. Eli Manning and the Giants will head to Indianapolis on Monday after practicing on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

Tom Brady may want to stay away from his television in the two weeks leading up to Super Bowl XLVI against the Giants. The Patriots quarterback said Monday that losing to the Giants in Super Bowl XLII still gnaws at him, and seeing highlights of David Tyree's miracle catch and Plaxico Burress' game-winning touchdown make him sick to his stomach.

During the New England Patriots' 13-3 season and run to the Super Bowl, their offense has been lauded and their defense has been questioned. After all, New England ranked second in the league in total offense and 31st in in defense. But after the Patriots held up against the Baltimore Ravens' two-minute drive in Sunday's 23-20 AFC Championship Game win, safety James Ihedigbo hoped the defense had earned its due.

Players said Bill Belichick gave them a speech yesterday about how that loss in 2008 has no bearing on what happens in 2012. In fact, there are only seven players on the Patriots' active roster who played in that game.
Since losing to the Giants 24-20 in Foxborough on Nov. 6 earlier this season a game Coughlin noted seems like an awful long time ago the Pats have outscored opponents 359-188 during a 10-game winning streak.

Eli Manning and Tom Coughlin beat Tom Brady and Bill Belichick in the Super Bowl four years ago and in less than two weeks they will do it again. The Patriots were a better team in 2007 than they are now. The Giants are a better team now than they were in 2007. Final score of Super Bowl XLII: Giants 17, Patriots 14. Prediction for Super Bowl XLVI: Giants 34, Patriots 24.

Super Bowl tickets to see Giants-Patriots rematch carrying high price tags. Giants fans will need big bucks if they want to watch the Big Blue take on the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLVI in Indianapolis on Feb. 5.

The Giants will face the Patriots once again in the Super Bowl and Justin Tuck is hoping the game can be as titanic a clash as the first game was. "It doesn't really matter who the opponent is but it's going to be fun because I always say the best will bring out your best so it should bring out your best," Tuck said.

The Giants feel they haven't been getting any respect. And the wife of the late Wellington Mara, the former Giants owner, let Terry Bradshaw know about it on Sunday. As the FOX analyst interviewed players and management in the locker room following the Giants' 20-17 win in overtime, Ann Mara let the Hall of Fame quarterback hear it for picking against the Giants in the NFC Championship Game.

Safety Tyler Sash, who suffered a concussion according to the Giants on Sunday, will undergo the protocol of tests that each NFL players who may have suffered a head injury has to go through on Tuesday. "I think Tyler is going to have to go through all of the protocol, but he felt pretty good even on the plane last night," head coach Tom Coughlin said on Monday.

Jim Harbaugh probably will be named NFL Coach of the Year, but this wasn't his finest hour. In fact, the 49ers called pass plays on the first play in each of their last five possessions, eschewing a Ground & Pound attack that churned out 150 yards in the Candlestick muck. He played to the Giants' strength, rushing the quarterback and defending the pass.

Death threats for Kyle Williams, who misplayed two punts in 49ers' NFC Championship loss to NY Giants Final miscue led to game-winning field goal in overtime by Lawrence Tynes. you stay classy, 49er fans. Following San Francisco's overtime loss to the Giants in Sunday's NFC Championship Game, folks claiming to be 49er backers took to Twitter, taking out their frustration on game goat Kyle Williams.

On The Game: Game 19
Gamegirl "..First off, let me say how excited I am and also how exhausted I am after watching this game! You live and die with this team and you know what? The way they play their hearts out they deserve every bit of fan appreciation you can give them, and I for one would like to throw out kisses to Devin Thomas for making those two fumble recoveries..."
Mikefan. ".
.Both teams have improved since their last go round and it was a tough battle on both sides. As expected, the Giants couldn't run effectively on San Francisco, and you knew their defense was going to be tough. They were so tough that Eli Manning, as elusive as he usually is, was batted around for 6 sacks, 12 knockdowns and 20 hits..."

Game 19 Preview - NFC Conference Playoff - Giants (11-7) vs Niners (14-3)
Last week the 49ers took on the New Orleans Saints at Candlestick Park and came away with a 36-32 win when Alex Smith hit Vernon Davis with a last-minute (nine seconds left) touchdown pass. The fourth quarter lead had changed hands four times in this hard fought battle. The next day the 49ers got a chance to recover and enjoy the playoff game between the Giants and Packers to see who they would be playing next.
The Giants beat the defending Super Bowl champion Green Bay Packers 37-20 at Lambeau Field. Not only did the Giants have to overcome the top-seeded 15-1 team playing in their home stadium, they had to survive some bad calls by the refs as well. Both the Giants and 49ers are happy with the outcomes as far as opponents go. The Giants didn't want to play in the Superdome and the 49ers didn't want to travel and play in Green Bay.

Then Bavaro Said to Simms:
The Best Giants Stories Ever Told

Giants Jersey Scarf

Jan 22 The Giants didn't set out on this journey hoping to find redemption. They're not flying across the country looking for revenge This game, to the Giants, is not about evening the score with the San Francisco 49ers. In fact, it has nothing to do with the 49ers at all. "They're just in the way of where we want to be," said linebacker Michael Boley. "Obviously, that's the Super Bowl."

There were stretches during this season when the Giants were remarkably one-sided. Their offense carried them and their defense held them back. Then there was a game against the Eagles and another the second time around against the Redskins when the offense was a no-show. The Giants eventually figured things out and they have landed in tonight's NFC Championship against the 49ers because they were able to have one side of the ball complement the other.

So here stand the New York Football Giants, eyeball-to-eyeball with destiny again, nose-to-nose with the bloodthirsty 49ers, spoiling for the fight of their lives, the Super Brawl that gets them back to the Super Bowl. Six buses packed with steely-eyed Giants departed the Timex Performance Center at 10:35 a.m. EST yesterday for Newark Airport and the United Charter that would touch down in enemy territory at 3 p.m. PST.
The Giants traveled cross-country to San Francisco once earlier this season, a Week 10 loss they hope was the opposite outcome of Sunday's NFC Championship Game. They believe they are a different team now, and they're also staying in a different hotel. Related or not, the Giants are among the most successful postseason road teams in NFL history.

As the Giants take the field against the 49ers in the NFC title game, there is strong consensus that physicality will determine who gets to suit up one last time in the Super Bowl. Nowhere on the field will that decision be made more than in the trenches, where the Giants' vaunted defensive line hopes to get past the Niners' strengthened offensive line to rattle quarterback Alex Smith into mistake-prone football.

The Giants' return to glory under Bill Parcells was built around his linebackers. Heck, even when they weren't good, the linebackers were beasts. From Brad Van Pelt to Hall of Famers Harry Carson and Lawrence Taylor to Carl Banks, Jessie Armstead and Antonio Pierce. They were the heart-and-soul of not just the defense, but the entire team.

Asked about San Francisco's Smiths -- the 49ers dynamic defensive duo of Justin and Aldon -- Giants coach Tom Coughlin only could give a wan smile and rueful chuckle, like a man being audited about the IRS. Several Giants players called Justin Smith the best 3-4 end in football, the heart of the 49ers physical defense and the facilitator for Aldon Smith's huge rookie campaign.

Osi Umenyiora, Justin Tuck and Eli Manning get hot at the right time as the Giants meet San Francisco. The Giants are on a four-game winning streak. They are not only winning. They are dominating. They beat the Jets by 15, the Cowboys by 14, the Falcons by 22 and the Packers by 17.

The text message lit up Justin Tuck's phone on the morning of Nov. 30, two days after the Giants had been blown out by the Saints in New Orleans. "When you get in," Tom Coughlin wrote, "come see me." That text message from Coughlin, and the pep talk of a meeting that followed, saved the lost season of Justin Tuck.

For a long time - or maybe it was for about five minutes - we've been intrigued by this curious practice of setting the clocks ahead at the Giants' practice facility, which is some sort of time-dishonored tradition, if you will. "Yeah, TC Time," Dave Tollefson explained. "That's what we call it around here." TC, as in Tricky Chronometry. "Coughlin Time," explains rookie tackle James Brewer. "This is not the Timex Center, this is the Tom Coughlin Center. You're warned about that the day you get here."

Clint Sintim has come to grips with the cruel reality that he's not going to play this season. Expectations were extremely high for Sintim heading into the 2011 campaign. He was expected to serve as Mathias Kiwanuka's backup and have another chance to prove that he was worthy of being selected in the second round of the 2009 NFL draft.
