Lets hear about matchups stats and anything else.

[Malaka]

I am a Giants fan and I still think the Ravens would beat us, that defense was from another world.

[NY+Giants=NYG]

I would say Ravens too, but Fassel was a horrible HC who was out coached. I actually feel a lot more confident with Spags, TC and Gilbride preparing this team. I think we'd do a lot better, and Spags would do better with Strahan-Osi-Tuck on the DL.

[ChiFan24]

Lewis and Holmes runs on the Giants D fairly easily, Ogden and company keep Dilfer pretty clean, and all the helmet catches in the world don't stop Eli from throwing 2+ picks. Ravens fairly easily.

[niel89]

I chose the Ravens but if the Giants played like they did that day then they could definitely win. I think that Jermaine Lewis would also be an important part of the Ravens win.

[vikes_28]

Ravens, and it's not even close.

[George Lippard]

If the Giants got ahead, I doubt Dilfer against that passrush...but he wouldn't be broken in half like Eli in this game.

[Ness]

The Ravens. Although it would not be shocking to see the Giants win.

[RAVENS/WIZARDS/ORIOLES]

There was no stopping that team in the playoffs We beat the **** out of everyone. Denver got it 21-3, Titans got it 24-10, Raiders got it 16-3, and in the Superbowl we made the best NFC team look like a little league team. 15 out of the 21 games we played that year we held the other team to 10 or less points. Shut out 4 teams, 9 teams were held to no TD's. We went 5 games in a row without a TD and still won 3 of those games. Oh yea we had Ray ******* Lewis!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't see the Giants offense doing anything against the Ravens. The Ravens offense would pound some production from Lewis, the Giants linemen would have to play the run a lot more, giving Dilfer more time when he would throw. The defense would cause a couple key turnovers.

If we could eat up Tom brady and that offense, I have no doubt Dilfer would get owned by our pass rush and blitz packages. IN my opinion the game would come down to field position, turn overs, and if anything could happen by a stroke of luck on offense.

Yup, pretty much sums this game up. Neither offense would be able to do much of anything. It would come down to whoever could make a bigger play at the end on defense.

Tough one, but I'll give my vote to the Ravens on this one.

Yeah I'd vote for the Ravens too. But if we won, I wouldn't be surprised. We tend to do that in superbowls. We managed to beat the high flying Bills offense with our defense, and we did it with the Pats. So if we pulled another upset off, I wouldn't be surprised. But I def. would give the edge to the Ravens. And I would be confident with Coughlin preparing this team and not Mr. Fasshole who is out of the NFL now.

[bigbluedefense]

I'm going with the Ravens.

I don't think it would be as big of a blowout as you guys think though. We easily have the superior qb.

But at the same time, our defense was more geared to stop the pass than the run, and they would eventually get worn out trying to stop that power run game.

Plus their special teams were better. And that defense was amazing.

I'd say Baltimore in a close, good old fashioned smashmouth contest.

[Giantsfan1080]

We gave up 14 points to the best offense of all time so I'm not worried about the Ravens on that side of the ball. The Ravens defense of that year was better than our defense of that year though so I have to say Ravens. The score would probably be 6-3 or something ridiculous like that.

[DeathbyStat]

Ravens Win 10-7

[Brothgar]

Hey folks it is half time and the Ravens lead 34 to 3 and the Giant fans are leaving the stadium.
