The Giants have been a better team than the Cowboys over the past several years. It’s that simple. New York has won two Super Bowls in the past four years. Dallas has only won one playoff game during that span. There are a number of reasons why the G-Men have had more success than the Cowboys in recent history, but Giants defensive lineman Chris Canty believes Tony Romo is the primary reason.

“Romo’s a tremendous quarterback, statistically he’s a top five quarterback, that’s undeniable,” Canty said Tuesday on ESPN’s SportsNation according to the Dallas Morning News. “At the end of the day, in the clutch situations, he hasn’t performed as well as you would like him to. I think ultimately, that’s been the difference between their franchise and the Giants ability to be successful.

“Obviously, when you put pressure on any quarterback you can cause mistakes. I think Romo has been prone to make mistakes in the clutch situations and his team has not been able to be successful because of it.”

Based on some of his recent comments, Brett Favre would probably disagree with Canty’s assessment and argue that the Cowboys failures have not been all Romo’s fault. While Romo has made some poor decisions in crucial situations, we’re talking about the span of several seasons and several meetings between the NFC East division rivals. Romo hasn’t done enough to help the Cowboys be successful, but they have made plenty of bonehead mistakes as a team and found ways to lose. Sometimes one team is just simply better than another.

Of all the players on the Giants, who figured that defensive tackle Chris Canty would end up being the most boastful? The same guy whose message to Giants fans before the game was to get ready for a parade predicted his team would win the Super Bowl 28-17. Here’s the tweet he sent about five hours before gametime Sunday, in response to someone’s question:

Canty deleted the message, but the prediction was out their long enough to know his thoughts.

Thanks to Patriots Plus for sharing the tweet.

If Tom Brady was making a guarantee when he talked about fans partying with the team next weekend, then Chris Canty has done the equivalent. The Giants defensive tackle was asked Wednesday if he had a message to the fans back home when he made his boast.

“Get ready for a great day on Super Bowl Sunday … and get ready for a parade on Tuesday,” he said.

Canty was asked if that could be considered bulletin board material for New England.

“I don’t care, doesn’t matter,” Canty said. “Obviously, Tom Brady made a statement at their pep rally. Obviously, both teams are here to try to win a football game.”

Yup, this definitely mirrored what Brady said, but since it was to a media member, it certainly was more direct. Between Canty and Antre Rolle, it seems like the Giants, despite not doing too much trash talking, are certainly confident in their ability. Even though Jason Pierre-Paul is 1-for-1 on his guarantees this postseason, someone should notify Canty that those don’t always turn out so well.
