You wouldn't be worried about the Giants had they rested.

I'm sure those starters the Giants lost won't hurt at all.
--- Quote ---The Giants lost center Shaun O'Hara, backup safety Craig Dahl and linebacker Kawika Mitchell, all with knee injuries, and cornerback Sam Madison with an abdominal strain.

O'Hara is a huge loss if he's out next week. So is Madison. Did you happen to notice who that guy was flopping on the turf trying to keep up with Moss? That is Madison's spot, yes?
Joey Galloway is faster than Randy Moss.
The Giants played well, but they lost, and it cost them in injuries. That is exactly what I said they couldn't afford.
tommy:
It's not a good thing that they lost those guys, but without Manning and Plex playing well it does not matter who else is in there, we would have just lost anyway in the next round due to lack of confidence.
I still think we are better off for putting up a good fight and all the players now feel like they can do something more in the playoffs because of it.

Scary story - Pats just coming back, middle of the fourth quarter... my living room Tivo crashes and comes back with a CANNOT BOOT KERNEL error.
Thank ---smurfing--- god I have a second Tivo and was smart enough to tell that one to record it too.

Give it a rest already old time Dolphins, act like men not a bunch of mean pissed players who can't stand to see their old records go down. And while we are at it lets stop even showing those old ---smurfs--- on TV and quoting them.
The Pats have a longer season than the Fins had and number of games that they won, I think they are better already without winning a Super bowl.

Because it's true. In order for a team to truly be undefeated, they have to win it all. The 16-0 record is meaningless if they lose a game when it counts. How can a team be 'better' if they don't win the important games? If they go undefeated in the regular season and then lose in the playoffs, all it says is that the Patriots were good enough to win if the game didn't mean anything, but if the game was important they simply weren't good.
The '72 Dolphins team not only won every game when it didn't really matter, but they won every game when it did matter. They proved that nobody could defeat them that year and that no circumstance was too much to overcome. Until the 2007 Patriots do the same thing and win every game they play this year, they can't be compared.
Has what they've done been impressive? Oh hell yeah! It's been amazing. But to compare them to the '72 Dolphins at this point in time is laughable. The '72 Dolphins were Superbowl champions. The 2007 Patriots have yet to do that.
ChadTower:
The '72 Dolphins had the easiest schedule of any super bowl winner. Ever. By a good margin, too.
