I'm tired of listening to the G-Men, their fans and east cost media bias.

Hold on there, pardner! I’ll grant you the Giants are very confident, but their so-called predictions of victory are just the media asking them leading questions that they can’t really answer any other way. I think the teams have both avoided any real trash talk and genuinely respect each other.

I’ll grant you the media seem to want the Giants to win to set up a Superbowl rematch against someone. It’s not anyone’s fault that the largest media organizations are headquartered in NYC.

But I take exception to the possible knock on Giants fans — from what I’ve seen here and on Big Blue View, we Giants fans and you Niners fans have had a wide-ranging and generally polite discussion of the game (thanks David & Ed, especially). Sure, we both talk up our teams (when speaking ‘in-house’) but I haven’t seen and Giant fan overconfidence or real trash talk.

Tend to agree with you on the ‘800-lb gorilla’ that no one seems to talk about . . .

I’m not necessarily talking about Giants fans on this forum. Just out there in the ether of the internet, like say the Bleacher Report… So to those Giants fans that are LEVELED headed it’s not directed towards you…

unless you were, then I don’t think you have any room to comment on how much or little that young man’s death affected the team.

Aaron Rodger’s said HE’S HAVING trouble with the situation. You know the guy throwing the ball. How much did that play into the PREPARATION leading up to the game. Nobody in the national media explained the DROPPED passes that infected the Packer’s wide receivers. Can YOU???

I’m giving a PLAUSIBLE explanation as to why that might have been, BECAUSE it sure wasn’t the VAUNTED Giant’s Defense that caused them to drop them.

But are you really using that as the only reason why they lost?

You don’t think it could’ve been that the Giants are actually a good team? Or maybe it was because the Packers were overrated and don’t know how to tackle on defense?

It’s not like the Packers blew out the Giants when they faced in the regular season. No, that game came down to a last-second field goal.

Have no issue with G-men fans or their team. They’ve earned their way here, and talking up your team is almost a requirement of being a fan. :-)

Now the media. My prediction is this: after we win the superbowl (hey, I’m a fan so I’m talking up my team!) you still going to hear from them “buh…buh… THEY GOT LUCKY!” or “The other team was hurt/injured/distracted/whatever” not "Hey! Maybe the Niners are a good team after all!

. . . you will be the champs, and the media will play you up as gutsy Cindarellas and Harbaugh will be a god.

No, I didn’t. I find it startling that it wasn’t even put forth as one of the reasons they lost.

Finally, you JUST SWERVED into making my point for me. The Packer’s had to be at the TOP of their game to BEAT the Giants by just a FIELD GOAL. So before the game did they have a bye? Did Flynn play the game and threw 6 touchdowns? Breaking a NFL and having the national media say look how great the Packers are, they just had their back up the playoff bound Lions. Words of honey that can LULL a team that needs to be hungry. Did Aaron Rodgers take a game off before they played? Did a tragic death hit the team???

The Packers were at their BEST then. They weren’t last week, FOR MANY REASONS.

I made a clarification that my frustration isn’t necessarily directed to any Giants fan on the Nation. I have no problem with any fan being proud of their team, but to discount another teams ACCOMPLISHMENTS because they belong to a certain division is horse crap.

The media has shown in the past how much it affects the teams when tragedy strikes like this (I.e. HWSNBN’s fathers passing prior to a MNF game). Of course it can swing both ways for teams and the media a lot of times either use it as a glorifyimg point or an excuse. The Packers have done a good job of not doing either in this case, though IMO.
A team should be able to overcome this to play the game no matter what. Sometimes it works, other times it doesn’t, but I wouldn’t try to bring it as a main selling point to a success or failure in a game. Not saying ESSJ’s main point was that, but it’s the medias job to try to bring some sort of ‘heart strings’ story so everybody says “awwwww” and it looks like the Packers are not trying to ride that train.

I have ran into many and there clowns. I watched all the games this year (I have a cool job that allows me too watch them). Yes the Giants got lucky that the Packers didn’t come to play. Hands down and simple to see.

Giants are not the same team they were years ago. Giants have skated by and will see there demise unless like the packers the niners dont come to play. Watch a few of your away games again and take notice. Again to say you are a favorite over a 13-3 team with the best defense in the NFL is a joke. You guys should and are crapping your pants right now 4 hours before game time.

I am not saying it is gonna be a cake walk and that we are going to win but its hard to not feel confident as a niner fan knowing you guys are coming of a win that was not hard fought and earned. You got 99 problems and there all NINERS! Am I talking smack? Hell ya and I would gladly like to take this time to say thanks for destroying us in the 86 playoffs. Cause now its going to be redemption time!
