Okay, it was a good year. I called the Orange Bowl. My opinion was that the Giants didn't have the talent to be in the SuperBowl. Well, I was right. If I had been wrong I would be here to apologize. Being right gives me the chance to revel. 3-0 game. I don't think so, and I am not a Ravens fan.

Yeah Flint, defense wins games; notes from a former linebacker. 8<)))

Best Wishes,,,,

Z the Giants are a quality team. Problem they had was they ran into one of the finest defenses to ever play the game. Denver learned, Tennessee learned, Oakland learned, and today the GMen had their schooling in what it feels like to face a defense which totally dominates.

Giants had supposedly a good D as well, now I hope most understand the difference between good and exceptional.

Giants are not THAT bad. Like many before they had a badd day as a result of having to face the Ravens defense. Raiders looked just as badd 2 weeks prior at the RaiderNation.

I think to really appreciate just how dominating the Ravens are you have to become aware of just how much they create situations which result in a Collins throwing 4 interceptions. The int just before the half was not so much a bad decision by Collins(his fault alone), as it was a defense putting direct and mental pressure upon their opponent creating a situation where stupid chances are taken and results badly. Ravens did the same thing 2 weeks earlier in Oakland, creating a key INT when the Raiders thought they actually had a shot in the game. Both interceptions happened at points in both games where the opposing offenses thought they were moving--wrong. Mentally the Ravens D is a beautiful thing to watch. They mentally dismantle their opponents more than anything else.

Hats off to the Ravens, well done!

Strange, last year we had one of the best offensives(Rams) rewrite the rules. Now we have the opposite with Defense. Bottom-line is strategy, team work, and exceptional players win Super Bowls, none of that other crapola heard so often.
