So the Super Bowl is set

Lawrence! Phoenix is the other way!

I can't believe the Giants are in the Super Bowl. Really I can't I've watched this team and they never impress. Well they did against the Bills, but who doesn't impress against the Bills? But I enjoy that back and forth of the last game, one of those last possession wins it types deals. Man Mr. Tynes got a lot of opportunities to save himself. I don't care about the bad snap, he shanked that one, that one is on him. Lucky he made the one in OT, or he wouldn't make it back to NY. But you knew once the Patriots made it in, they were happy if NY or the Packers made it in. You get all the NY vs Boston stories or Brady vs Favre. Just makes the media drool at the easy stories.

Unfortunately we get two weeks of hype over this game which will neither be good or close. I don't care they played close a couple weeks ago. The second time you play Bill Belichick he owns you. Oh man theres another storyline. Lets look at all the storylines we will see.

Patriots play for perfection
Belichick and the Giants (bad super bowl 25 memories there)
Brady vs (other) Manning
Yankees Vs Red Sox type talk
Junior Seau talk, ugh
More dynasty talk
More hype then I need to pay attention to and I'll ignore it till Super Sunday.

Early prediction

Patriots 31 Giants 17

Ooo boy that was not close

I don't like talking about the past but I'll do it here. Man, was that a mismatch. The score was 56-10 and it could have been worse. The Patriots are such a machine. I never felt they were trying to run up the score since most of the damage was done early. Tom Brady is at a level so much higher then any other QB, that its almost unfair. It didn't help that JP Losman didn't have a good day either. Rev up the bring in Edwards talk. I use to hate the Patriots I really did. But they are so good, and its almost a work of art how their offense operates. So many different options. You just have to watch and go wow, I wish the Bills were something like that. Well lets take a look at the stats, and examine the damage.

Game Stats

Total Yards Patriots 510 Bills 229
3rd Down Eff. Patriots 8-11 Bills 4-10

Tom Brady 31-39 375yards 5tds and a completion % of 79.5

JP Losman 15-26 173 yards 1 Td 1 Int 57.7 completion percentage and 4 sacks.

Randy Moss 10 catches 128 yards 4 TDS (all in the first half)

Punts Patriots 1 Bills 4 (they only punted 4 times? seemed a lot more)

Gain per play Patriots 7.3 Bills 4.7

First Downs Patriots 30 Bills 14 No way they got 14 first downs. Seems like way to many.


The funny thing is the Bills weren't careless, 2 turnovers and 5 penalties, really isn't bad. But to beat the Patriots you have to be more then perfect. No drops, no penalties, no sacks, nothing bad. Even then you'll probably lose. Really teams should be spotted points just to be fair.

Well I'm glad the official girlfriend of GCFB was there (there isn't an unofficial one by the way), she even bought the pizza. She gladly distracted me from this beat down, made her dislike of JP Losman known (she's a Edwards gal) which somehow makes me like her more, though I don't have an opinion of who I want to start. And was very symbolic of the game by falling asleep on me, literally.

Anyway the Bills are still at 5-5 and have a good chance at the playoffs, so not all is lost. But man was that a thrashing.
