Giants Reactions To Super Bowl XLVI Victory Over Patriots

by Joel Thorman on Feb 6, 2012 8:30 AM CST

We never really include the New York Giants when talking about dynasties but two Super Bowls in the last four years makes you pause. The Giants of course beat the New England Patriots last night in Super Bowl XLVI which means the players, coaches and fans got to have what is the greatest feeling sports can possibly bring.

It's something I can't even fathom. My team winning a championship? I don't even know what it would feel like. We've been blogging around here for five and a half years and at the end of the day winning a Super Bowl is what we're talking about all the time, 24/7/365. That's a lot of effort for one goal.

Alas, the Kansas City Chiefs did not win it all. The Giants players after the game were obviously very, very happy. Here are a few reactions from key guys via Twitter (@nflnetwork, @greggrosenthal, @sbnation)

QB Eli Manning: "There's not a better place to win than New York."
WR Mario Manningham on the pressure of final drive. "Ain't no pressure. It's football."
RB Brandon Jacobs: "We decapitated them. They can't wear that crown no more. Can't wear that crown no more, baby."

There's gonna be a lot of talking in New York this offseason.

Well great, KC doing things the Patriot way and now we find out it needs to be the Giant way……..just can’t win.

GIants seem to do things surprisingly similarly.

I don’t think they have a whole lot of big free agent signings. They retain their young talent and seem to draft smart.

We’ll get there.

Biggest thing that stands out

to me about the Giants. is a few yrs ago they wanted to drop kick Coughlin otta there. instead the ownership stuck with him and a couple of Super Bowls later , their glad they did.

Never argue with an Idiot...... they'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.
sometimes I wonder how they would do that chalk outline, if you pushed someone into a tree chipper.

The fans want Coughlin fired every year

the owner talked about how he got emails earlier this year to fire Coughlin

I like how Collingsworth had nothing to say about Manningham fading his route on the biggest play of the night.

I almost watched the game on mute

just so I didn’t have to listen to Collinsworth.

I like the guy and think he's a very intelligent color guy who brings a lot to the game

he and Al Michaels are terrific … in my POV

He's worse than Madden.

And that’s pretty bad.

He was just acting like Eli is the perfect QB and when it was an incomlete pass it was the WR fault

Like when Eli threw those bounce passes Collinsworth would say the WR ran the wrong route or like on Manninghams 1st fade route when he didn’t get booth feet in he blamed it on the WR. He is like the Trent Dilfer of WR to me.

Except he didn't push the other route to the sideline like Collinsworth said.

His route was good and didn’t fade to the sideline until Eli push the ball too far to the outside. Clearly he wanted an example to use the fancy running straight graphic they clearly had ready prior to the play.

I can't believe Joel was up and blogging at 5 AM (KC time) ...

does the man never sleep? is he simply a blogging machine? I mean, really …

So is Coughlin smart enough

that he threw an extra db out there on the second to last play, knowing full well there was no disadvantage to him?

by Montana Chief on Feb 6, 2012 9:10 AM CST via mobile reply actions

I mean same team that had simultaneous 'cramps'

by Montana Chief on Feb 6, 2012 9:12 AM CST via mobile up reply actions

After the play I think everyone started to ask, why not keep taking 5 yard penalties?

There was so much noise in my house from all the people at my SB party that I didn't hear the announcers at all.

So, I was able to watch and purely enjoy the plays I was seeing – especially the big sideline catch late in the game. :-)

Now is the time

Should this be the time coughlin says he has had enough.he has nothing else to prove to those ass holes in newyork that wants him fired everyyear.what away to go out if he chose to.

Brandon Jacobs

is a classless fool. Eli put the E-L-I in ELITE, though he did have some weird throws… Just glad Tom Brady did not get his 4th ring, and I hope he never gets it. Hate that whiner.

Hopefully, after Peyton dons our red and gold, we can see ourselves their next year. AND the year after, and the year after THAT. A guy can dream, right? Imagine a Chiefs-Giants SB, Manning vs. Manning. That would be something to see…
