I look forward to more Giants-Pats SB's. You should ask your owner to put together better teams, the Giants have too much talent to be missing the playoffs half the time over the last 10 years.

this past season. McAdoo did well (D coordinator Spags credited for much of Giants success) but the "O" struggled & we need an O co-ordin. They greatly upgraded the "D" but Eli will be another year older with many holes on the "O" side. We DESPERATELY need a good LT, TE w block/catch capability, a couple young RB's along with a healthy Vereen. "D" needs a pass rusher or 2 but we're facing salary cap issues. Eli should pull a "Brady" and take less $$$ ($24 MILL!!!) for the good of the team.

the Pats to put better players around him. In the end, neither Brady or Manning are going to be in the tough financial shape that many former players end up in, and taking a little less now (for the opportunity to win more championship) may pay off later in life. When your career is over, people talk about how many games, or championships, or even awards you won, not how much money you made. Big QB contracts can certainly hurt a team, just ask Ravens Fans.

The Giants have had some bad luck with injuries, but their drafts have been better over the last few years, and I think they're headed in the right direction. I'd like to see them get back to the SB before Brady retires for one last shot at you guys.
