It all goes down off exit 16W in New Jersey today


Today's game in East Rutherford, New Jersey is a real golden opportunity for the New York Giants. Everyone is weighing in on it. The road to a repeat begins today. The Giants aren't gonna be able to throw their way to an NFC Championship Game appearance. They're going to need to run a 2-headed attack with Brandon Jacobs and Derrick Ward. That is why I like Eli Manning. He isn't here for all the stats. He's here to win. He's a different egg then his brother Peyton.


He grew up watching Archie Manning take beating after beating. His dad would come home from taking a pounding and Eli would get him a coke and sit on the couch with him and his dad would be beat up after a tough loss. These are the fibers that make up the champion that is Eli Manning. Today I wouldn't be surprised if he threw for 140 and the Giants win. The key is that they get more 3rd and 3's and 3rd and 2's then 3rd and 8's for Eli.


Something else that is concerning is that his last postseason loss was to these Eagles. He played well, but they were the team he lost to last in the playoffs. Eli played a sparkling, untouched postseason last year. He was fabulous in every way. The model of consistency from a franchise QB. This year, I think a lot of people expect him to throw a critical interception at some point today. If he can keep that from happening, the Giants will win.


Brian Westbrook is a Giants killer. But that said, I don't think he can beat Steve Spagnuolo's defense by himself today. Donovan Mcnabb and Desean Jackson will need to have big contributable games as well.


This should be an absolute war. Things are going to be cold at kickoff. I hate to say it but my gut all week has told me Philadelphia Eagles, which has cut into some of my excitement for this matchup.

Couple of things:

Yeah, I'd fight you.

This blog's quality matches the team it's based around.

My other blog pulled in 15,000 hits tuesday. Lets see you have something on the web that sucks and get that many people's attention. Lets not stretch truths here because you're a jackass.

If get laughs out of this you're a lamer.

I like having you. In a way you're putting money in my pocket. You're here more then a few times a day. Every time I get a hit or a visitor its just putting money in my pocket. So keep it up!

Guys like you will keep me 'trolling' the OBR forever.

Troll? That isn't any type of slam at all. Just another way of letting me know that I took a shit in your little pathetic world and you were insulted by it--which is confirmed by you continuing to show up on my site and posting your brutal comments.

Like I said, its fun for me as well.

LETS GO RAVENS
