This is the year for the GIANTS to go all the way!!
65I started this when the G-men were just 3-2.
Since 2007 not much at all has been said about the giants. They started off that year in much the same way the have started this one, injuries in the secondary and the front defensive line, offensive hot-heads not satisfied with anything that comes there way(or lack thereof). The media seems very much inclined to go for the teams that have four or more stars on the field with the highest paid players in the league. We have seen time and time again (eagles, cowboys, jets) those teams that are the media darlings never win the big one. Yet, the giants are 5-2 right now getting ready to face there biggest challenge this year; and of course they are the under-dogs. I will tell you right now that is fine by me, because I know my team and they play there best football when they go up against the best teams in the league. Now by the same token they seem to play there worst against under 500 teams. They always have, and they probably always will. What strikes me most about this years giant team is there resilience and there poise. They are in they very same state that they were they Super Bowl winning year and I can't wait till December! Right now they have only two main injuries (Thomas and Dixon) but they seem to have such great depth on both sides of the ball it makes no difference. Just like that year we have seen players such as Cruz and Webster come out and show that they very much belong in the league. We lost Boss but gained Ballard, we lost Smith (not much of a lose) and gained Cruz, who I could tell from the preseason he had last year that he was going to be a force to reckon with. With that I will make this prediction, the GIANTS will indeed win the SUPER BOWL in 2012!!

Thank you and I will be putting up some more NFL hubs in the near future. I must confess though, I am a New Yorker at heart because I grew up in Brooklyn! I moved to NC when I was 13, so I am a very huge NY sports fan. I will say though that unless the G-men knock out the Saints, I am very afraid of a repeat from last year.
I don't see the Giants winning the Superbowl, but I love the enthusiasm,hopefully they can fight off the Boys.
Unfortunatley, I might have to agree with you Manny. This is another bad habit the Giants have picked up over the last few years, slumping in the second half of the season. I will still have high hopes if they can beat the Saints, but if they don't, and with GB up after them; I am afraid of another dismal season.
Ya unfortunately, the G-Men have the hardest scheduele there division has to offer, ironically all because the Packers and Saints failed to win their divisions last year. Talk about bummer, especially after going 10-6 with no playoffs last year.
My worst fear came true yesterday! Here we go again!! Not only did the Saints kill us, they out-played us. A sad week for all of us Giants fans out there indeed.
I think the Giants are going to win the Superbowl.
Here we go GIANTS here we go!!
Hate to say I told you so!! I predicted this was going to happen only 6 weeks into the NFL season!! Thanks to the publish date (11/04/11). I will not however say the Giants will win, but I do believe that it will be another nail bitter that will come down to the last minutes of the game.
OHH NOOOO!!! Two in a row and I said this one would be good and come down to the last few minutes (see above). Now Eli Manning has proved to me that he is better than Tom Brady. You can sack him, hit him, but you can't rattle him! Brady can't handle the pressure. Two Super Bowls, two MVP'S!! NY Giants baby!
and so the legacy of Brady ends in Indy and those like us who believe saw Eli's road to Canton set in silver! What a game! Giants rocked it and are bringing Lombardi home! Big Blue showed the world what champs look like ;)
What do you mean you won't say the Giants will win? I know I don't speak for myself here (right, wavegirl?!!) when I say some of us never doubted. Not for a minute.
Well, during the actual Super Bowl there were a few brief minutes. But everything you say above is true. You can't rattle Eli and Brady got rattled and his shoulder hurt, too.
Oh well. The Giants lost about 20 (seemed like) key players to injury but they kept going to the very end.
What a game! Could be the best SB ever.
And I'm not just saying that because they won. Although that helps:-)
I did not want to jinx my own team!! Ever time I say something before an important game, it always comes back to bite me. It was a great game with over 111 million people watching Eli dominate Brady and finally putting to bed the talk that he is not an elite quaterback. Can't wait till my t-shirt gets here!!
Agree on all counts, 910chris. I just felt emboldened this year to go for broke (although our "pool" was virtual no $) and state my truth. I mean, if you're gonna be 'all in' be 'all in' right?
I cannot comment on Eli being an 'elite' quarterback as here on HP 'elite' is a four letter, dirty word:-). But he sure earned his place in the hall of QB fame on Sunday. Grace under pressure.
A great game that ended well.
Feels good to be all in. Doesn't it!???

A guy from North Carolina a GMan fan . .Im impressed. Will the Giants go all the way. . now wouldnt that be an amazing feat. When Eli let Big Blue to the SBXLII who would have thought at the beginning of the season that they would be champions especially with Tiki retiring. This is the NFL and as fans we all know anything can happen on any given Sunday.
I wish I had more faith in the coaching staff. .. I miss Boss. . but like you I have found joy in watching Cruz. Eli, Osi and Justin (among others) have my heart. .and I hope like the last time we are once again pleasantly surprised, and your Hub title of 'This is the Year for the Giants to go all the way' comes to pass.
But I must confess. . I am hoping the same comes true for the New York Jets!
Thoroughly enjoyed this read and would love to read some more NFL Hubs from you!
