[QUOTE="LombardiChick, post: 424452, member: 3669"] Fair enough - but I think you're taking the comments of a couple of guys and extrapolating it to the rest of the board. If you look around, you'll see a great mix of comments (some even fearful, from Packer fans) - a lot of us actually[I] agree[/I] that "MAYBE the Giants CAN win". I do. Hell yes, I do. But: No matter what we've done this year, there always seems to be this big question mark hanging over us. At 15/1, at home, against a team we've already beaten this year on the road, with the health of both teams being a wash, with the probable NFL MVP at QB and guys like Jordy Nelson on fire, people [I]still[/I] doubt us. It doesn't matter how much we win, and it doesn't matter who our opponent is and how their record compares. They doubt us vs. New Orleans, they doubt us vs. the Giants. They would have doubted us vs. Detroit, though we've beaten them twice this year, once with our backup QB. We know this. And I honestly think that's what people are responding to. It gets old, is all. So we push back. Don't take it as something against your team...people who seem overconfident today will probably feel pretty nervous on game day. But it just gets a little old feeling like no matter how much you accomplish, you can't convince people you're really any good. I would imagine there are times in Giants history you can re-live to relate to that, no? [/QUOTE]
