Super Bowl XLVI: Can Giants Defense Stop Patriots Offense?

Now we know, the Giants and the Patriots should have a dramatic battle on February 5, for Super Bowl XLVI. I've got my "analyst hat" on, and it's time to talk real football.
  One thing that will be a huge factor is whether or not Tom Brady can pick apart the Giants tough defense. The Patriots have been able to succeed against most every defense in the NFL, with a few exceptions. Justin Tuck, Osi Umenyiora, and Jason Pierre-Paul will bring pressure, and cause Tom Brady's accuracy to drop immensely. There is something that can outweigh the Giants's advantage. Rob Gronkowski. Practically every game this season that "The Gronk" has started, he has been a go-to target for Tom Brady. For this reason, the Giants will have to give up the catch, but cannot allow any yards after the catch. Now we know that the Patriots offense can still be successful, just not as efficiently. Chase Blackburn can probably stop the Patriots TE's, and yet again, give his QB, Eli Manning, more time with the ball.
