Can the Saints Sweep the State of New York?

[BOSSHOG]

Buffalo Bills - Check
New York Jets - Check
New York Giants - ???

Mention of New Jersey not permitted.

1. Giants will win

Eli has a great history in domed stadiums. Giants are the more balanced team and a great road team over the last three years.

2. Nope

Jersey, Jersey, Jersey (sorry, couldn't resist, it's where I was born)

3. They play only one game against a New York team.

:wtf:

4. Are you a geography Natsi?

[madinmaryland]

6. Yes. But I am NOT a Natinals fan!

8. actually 2

the Jets and Giants. New York refers to the Metropolitan area. Buffalo is not part of that area. They are closer to Cleveland than they are to NYC.

11. "New York refers to the Metropolitan area"?? WTF?

It's that kind of attitude that gets upstaters pissed off.
I know because I used to be one.
Fucking arrogant NYC bastards think the whole state revolves around themselves.

14. the New York in the name of the football teams

surely refers to the metropolitan area, not the state. Buffalo is a completely different media market as is most of upstate NY.

15. Maybe now it does, true...

But originally, both teams did play in New York.

Sorry for getting defensive above!

16. people in northern jersey

always identified more with the Giants than the people of Buffalo ever did.

5. They can

not sure if how likely that is, but they have a chance. On the plus side for the Saints, 3 Giants defensive play makers are still injured (Boley, Ross and Canty). That will certainly be a big help.

7. I Certainly Hope So!! nt

9. NO!

Let's Go G-Men!! :bounce:

10. Lets go Saints!

Our household roots for the Eagles and Patriots so we will be happy to see the Saints beat the NY teams. Of course, they also beat the Eagles and may beat the Patriots as well. :)

12. It's the game I'm most looking forward to this week.

A great test for both teams. I lean to the Giants winning, but it's not a guarantee by any means. New Orleans could easily win.

13. We are heading

down to the Quarter tomorrow for a little lunch and people watching. Its great to see and hear all the smack talk going on between Saints Fans and Visiting Fans. The violence usually doesn't start until after the sun goes down.
