DA FALCONS!

 

[Alex The Great]

DON'T COPY ME!!!!

DA PATS!

 

[BlackLantern]

Atlanta got the high hard one this year......first their franchise QB gets jailed, then the coach that left college to coach said QB quits before the season ends.....I hope they make the right changes and do better this coming season

 

[Alex The Great]

things aint going good for them. I hope Cmill makes more hilarios Bob sanders stories....they were awseme.

 

[Dark Donnie]

Moss will be back.

Stallworth won't.

Comes down to Asanta Samuel or Moss, one will go.

 

[BlackLantern]

i see Moss sticking around.....he'll take the "winning team" discount

 

[M.O.Steel]

nice try Mee, but NO......The Patriots are a damn good team but they arent the best team....

I don't agree. They are still the best team, but they lost a fair game yesterday. I would still take the patriots over the giants if they played again next week, as i'm sure most people would. It obviously won't be a 12-14 point spread, but i still think they are the better team. Having said that, Giants did the very thing every other team has tried to do, and they were successful when it counted. Other than 72 dolphins, everyone loses a game. It is extremely unfortunate that it had to be at the SB's expense. But they are much better than the 72 dolphins, and are still better than the Giants.

These are the opinions of a redskins' fan who has no "investment" in either team.

 

[BlackLantern]

Being the best team in the NFL means you get to hold the Vince Lombardi trophy at the end of the Super Bowl......and that wasnt the Patriots.....

Pats beat Giants 9 outta 10 times, last night was the 1. It sucks but it dont change nothing.

Hell, Dallas, Green Bay, Indy...they are all better than NYG.

 

[M.O.Steel]

Whats your opinion?

Can the patriots redeem themselves if they do pull off a superbowl next season?

I don't think they can even if they are the superbowl champs next year with 18-1 or 17-2. Its unfortunate that anything short of a winning a superbowl is considered a failure, it seems like they have set the bar even higher to do it with a 19-0 season to fully redeem last night. Man, talk about setting the bar high.

What do you all think?

 

[Cmill216]

As much as I'd like to agree with some of you, the Patriots aren't the World Champs right now. The Giants are.

Bitter, Party of one your table is ready...Bitter, Party of one....

as a football fan, the Pats have all the tools to get back to the Super Bowl next year.....I see Brady will not be attending the Pro Bowl....good for Derek Anderson, I see cleveland doing good things next season

Again, i respectfully don't agree. I'm not taking anything away from the giant's victory last night, but they aren't the better team.

 

[Gmanofsteel]

Way to go Giants Their defense turned Brady into a tackle dummy

My God - get over yourself.

 

[Alex The Great]

So how much cap room does Indy have? 50 grand

All that matters is the SB, the Patiots had an 18-0 record and failed to win. The only game that matters and the only game people will even remember is the superbowl. The Patriots in the end, were over rated. 18-0 is impressive, but take into account all those close/lucky wins, it doesn't mean anything unless they soundly won every single game.

WHAT THE ****!!!! All season it was all about how the Giants weren't good enough, how Eli couldn't handle the pressure, How Strahan missed training camp and had lost a step....They go to 2 of the most hostile environments in the NFC...Dallas and Lambeau Field...beat 2 outstanding QB's....go to the Super Bowl and derail history....and still NO ****ING CREDIT...its all about how the Patriots messed up, not about how Eli stepped up and the Giants D banged Brady like a kettle drum ALL NIGHT LONG.....it makes the whole ride that much sweeter

agreed

 

[StorminNorman]

Last Night - the Giants were the better team. Period.

Thats all that matters here people.

 

[Alex The Great]

 

[Erzengel]

We are the champions.


We beat the Giants who won the Super Bowl, therefor...co-champs! WOOOO!

The Giants couldn't have done it without your support all year, Mee (E Manning's #1).

 

[Excel]

Some of yall can shut up ight? Maybe it makes you happy the Pats lost buts its hella dissappointing to some of us; show some damn respect. WE WERE 18-0 MAN, WE WENT 18-0! And couldnt win it the last one. Yall can say "get over yourself" and that **** but I cant remember the last time I felt so gosh damned dissappointed. Didnt see me coming on here and talking **** to the fans of the teams the pats beat this season, so shut it. Its easy to tell us to move n **** but it aint that easy for some fans to just move onto next seaosn after a season like this ends so badly. Im not crying some people, but show some damn respect.

They beat us-fact.
They also held our lineman on that eli escape-tyree catch and no flag was thrown-fact
I feel were didnt show up and didnt play our best game-fact

It sucks, its incredibly dissappointing and none of yall know how us fans feel cause none of yall ever went 18-0 n blew it in the super bowl with :35 seconds to go. This aint right, this aint how it was supposed to end, so Ill say sorry for all Pats fans in advance if we have trouble moving on from this.

I said all season undefeated, while awesome, nasty,sick, great,ect. is really only a testement to the teams you play. Winning the super bowl is a testement to how good you are. That said; I feel we didnt play our best game and so do the vast majory of people and you. Sucks cause its a one shot deal, but its true.

Well.......maybe if they don't cheat next year, their karma will be better in the end......
