florida_guy1's blog post - First Blog....

So yeah this is my first blog, and I have to say its going to be more or less about the the NFL. I am purely tired of hearing Giants fans going on and on. Sure they were an "under dog" team and they pulled it off. Then I heard them going on about this "Joes" vs "Pros" ordeal. As if trying to add insult to injury. Making the Giants to be just regular old people and everyone else they were playing hardcore professional athletes.... This is utter bullsh!t. The Giants have best pass rushing defensive line in the entire NFL... They have an ancient blood line in their quarterback who have always turned out great... Archie.... Peyton. Granted Eli may not be as good as his older brother, he certainly isn't unknown. They have one of the best recievers in the NFC in Burress... who has been headlined more than once. To my knowledge they have the biggest active HB in the entire league with Brandon Jacobs who is bigger than a lot of the line backers out there... Lets not forget to mention Jeremy Shockey who although didn't play this weekend is one of the main names that comes to mine when you make any reference to a Tight End.... Yet these are all Joes... not buying it sorry.
Why are they in the playoffs in the first place.... If you look at all the games they won the best they played was... The Redskins? Not to mention they lost to them their 2nd time when they played. Sure Buffalo and the Lions were tough too but other than that their schedule was easier compared to a lot of the others. What consistantly Great Teams did they beat this year in the regular season? If you were too take the time and look at their schedule last year the faced a lot better opponents... Jacksonville.... New Orleans..... Seattle. To go along with division rival Dallas and because of that they were an 8-8 team last year. Yet again they STILL made it to the play offs last year.. Lookin like some real "Joes" to me. If you were looking for a Real "Joes" team this year you might should have looked toward the Miami Dolphins.... or a team with a brighter note The Browns even the Lions?
Like I said the Giants played well in the cold weather and were able to beat Green Bay. If you were to base the game on pure "big names alone", looks like the Giants have more. What other big names do the Packers have other than Favre and maybe they're press corners? Driver maybe? Although I think we can all agree that Driver is no Burress.
They beat the Cowboys you say, What about that? I heard someone who said a guy from the practice squad was covering T.O. If memory serves me right T.O. has a high ankle sprain and was playing injured. "But Terry Glenn came back!" you say. Yeah he played about as well as anyone else would after not playing for an entire season. In the end though... the Cowboys had a chance to win it. Just as in the end the Packers had a chance to win it.
I had no reservations going into that game on any particular winner, sure I wanted to see Favre make it to another Superbowl. Nothing overwhelming for either team though, but I felt the need to point these things out to all of those Giants fans saying Joe's vs Pro's... Insult to Injury ...
On a different note, I will see how this blog thing goes over to see if I want to continue it. I know this may not be the correct place for an NFL rant, but bare with me and I'm sure I can come up with something more interesting in the future.
