As you watch the Super Bowl...

The problem is that too many people look at this stuff in a bubble.

You've taken two games out of 16 for each team. That's two games out of 48 total.

You have to look at the entire body of work for each. Patriots were good all year long. Giants were above average in a tough division. We were awful for a good part of the season and then possible average for the rest. Super Bowl contenders don't play as poorly as we have all season. The Patriots might play poorly here and there but overall they know how to play and win as a collective unit.

We do not. And that's why we're not as close to a Super Bowl as people might think.

Isn't finding a legit QB part of having a strong offseason?

Looks like many Debbie Downers around here.

Its even more simple then that. Last 5 Superbowl starting QBs Eli vs Brady, Peyton vs Brees, Big Ben vs Warner, Big Ben vs Rodgers, and Eli vs Brady mean while we trot out Henne and Moore!

Eli Manning: "Who's your daddy!"

Bill belechick and Tom Brady in unison: You are ELI-TE."

Love it!

Well ... we ARE close to being a .500 team ... expect Vegas to still peg our Over/Under at 8.

We have to show it on the field ... NOT with rationalizations!!
