I don't think the pressure will get to Manning. I've been to 2 Giant SBs & the crowd is usually overwhelmingly New York. (Nearly got in a fight remarking about that at the Buffalo game. Had to be the only Buffalo fan within a mile.....) So sure there's the glitz & stuff, the pressure, the attention. But the fan base will probably be overwhelmingly a home crowd. That can help. Then as well the Mannings are groomed for this stuff. The Offensive line has to protect, guys like Burress have to have a good game & the D has to continue. Mistakes will be made if Manning gets pressured a lot. I don't think Manning will have a problem coping unless New England cracks the line a lot. It's the rest of the game. Whether or not there will be turnovers......Giants are good at giving the ball away, although not recently. Whether or not Brady totally dominates the New York Defense. I'd like to see a game like the NY/Buffalo SB. A Parcells old time NFL slugfest. Take the QB's right the hell out & grind the opposing Defense into the dirt. That stopped Kelly & Buffalo, but I don't think NY has the muscle to pull it off this time.
