That Steve Weatherford moment last night was awesome "I'M GOING TO THE MOTHERFOOKIN SUUUUPERBOOOOWL"

Sky went straight off air afterwords though even before they remembered to advertise the pro-bowl or super-bowl

Not disputing his ability but we shut him down in that second half. He'll have his opportunity to add to whatever legacy it is in a couple of weeks time when he steamrollers the Patriots.

You think they will steamroller us?

He may well win but we actually throw to more than 1 reciever and score points so it won't be that easy

Should be another great game hopefully this time with a different result! Couldn't have asked for much more out of last nights games both going down to the wire and it could well happen in the SB aswell.

Can't wait

You should know this. They're the team of destiny, like Leeds were.

They have already done the 'destiny' thing in 07, it's not happening again this year, this year it's our 'destiny'

Sound's a bit negative, but at the minute I'm just happy about the entire season. Where we were at Dallas, behind by 11 with 5 minutes to go and then to make the superbowl is breathtaking.

Most road wins in playoff history - 5 Eli Manning

39 points conceded in 3 playoff games. Brilliant.

I think the game come's down to Brady v's our pass rush. I expect Eli and the wideout's to make plays. The Patriots are not as scary as they were in 07.

I'm the same TBH, I find myself thinking how the heck have we got this far after some of our performances this year!

So I'm just gonna enjoy the game this time around and hopefully we can come out on top this time, the way I see it the Giants should be favourites this time around because of how well they have played to get into the play-offs and carried it on against some of the best teams in the league.

This is gonna be a long 2 weeks for us Patriots fans being reminded of the Tyree catch every 2 minutes by the media thats for sure

I think our D is coming good at the right time albeit still way behind yours, we have been relying on a big play here or there to get a stop/turnover like the Spikes INT and the Sterling Moore plays yesterday. I know after the Spikes INT Brady give them the ball back with his own INT but that was a special play by the 2 DB's rather than a mistake.

Hope Gronkowski's ankle injury isn't too serious because he has been one of the major reasons we have got this far, it looked nasty a bit like the Rapelisberger one against the Browns. It just had to be Bernard Pollard aswell the spiffing chap! That's Brady, Welker and now possibly Gronk that he has taken out!

McKenzie, Diehl & Baas all looked poor last night and McKenzie looked very susceptible to the speed rush which is one of 2 moves Mark Anderson has (the other is a spin!), if the Patriots can get pressure on Manning with just the front 4 (like the Giants will be trying to do too) then Eli wont have the time to find the holes in the secondary.

However...the defensive line only seems to be able to get consistent pressure for about half a game so there will still be big plays to be made

Gronk was back in the game not long after but was in a boot after the game, which was probably just a precaution - he has 2 weeks to get right.
