Around the NFL: Super Bowl Thread

You need more than luck to get this far. The Giants have been playing well, gotta give credit where it's due. They got hot at the right time, and healthy.

Interesting. Prater looked to be a good kicker from what I saw.

this is a no brainer signing. he would be a great addition. Pretty cool:

Prater is currently the most accurate kicker in National Football League history for field goals of 50 yards or more, having hit 12 of 16 (or 75%) from that range [7], although six of those twelve have been hit in the thinner air in Denver.

While the Giants have played well lately, they are still more lucky than good. Let's face it. The NYG didn't really outplay the Packers or the 49ers in their last two games. The Packers had so many dropped passes that would have made a difference in the divisional playoff game. San Francisco lost the NFC championship game because of two turnovers by the punt returner Williams that allowed the Giants to not only get back into the game, but win it. That's what I mean by the Giants being more lucky than good. In assessing the Giants, those two losses to the Redskins and that blowout loss to the Saints are really who these Giants are.

Against the Patriots they will not be as lucky as they have been in recent weeks. Tom Brady has said that the loss to the Giants in Super Bowl 42 still bothers him. Brady will be surgical in carving the Giants secondary all day in this game en route to a blowout victory.


So the Patriots were'nt lucky against the Ravens ???:yeahright:bs:

Good story. It makes me wonder if a coach can be successful in today's NFL without the SOB mantra. It seems that in pushing players and staff, a coach has to be overbearing in order to be successful. These three guys are certainly devoted to that style/approach.

I would like to think there is still room for the Joe Gibbs philosophy, but I'm not sure about that. Probably never see his style replicated anyway, because in my mind, Joe Gibbs was one of a kind!

How about Dungy

How about Dungy

Well, truthfully he should have won more than he did. Gruden took his team and won the super bowl and he only managed 1 SB with that loaded team in Indy.

It does seem that the Parcells, Bellicheat, Shanahan, Jimmy Johnson, Nick Saban type of coaches are more successful. I attribute that to they hold their players accountable unlike a Wade Phillips or a Norv Turner.

Regardless, the guy won a lot of games in this league including a SB.

That he did, and you can't really take that away from him. I like the guy and I'd rather play for a Dungy than any of those other coaches I listed. Mostly because I would respond better to how he talked to me as compared to some of those other coaches.
