Nope... I don't think they got "hosed"... other than the game might have been different if not for ONE play (the botched punt return), but it happened, the Giants scored, and the Niners still had a chance to win.
If your team lost because they were cocky, then you can blame your team for failing to show up.
My team was not cocky, and showed up for the game, and had a great chance to win... same goes for the Giants... it was a damn close game...
If the Giants had beaten the Niners without that ONE play, I might be sining a different tune... it's just one of those "plays" that unfortunately happens, and you hate to see the outcome of a game decided on it.
And had we won the game, we would have deserved it... just like the Giant fans feel like their team deserved it.
Unlike the AFC game, where the Ravens clearly outplayed the Pats, both teams in the NFC championship played well enough to "deserve" the win... unfortunately, that only happens to the team that scores the most points...
Unlike a Steelers fan, I can hold my head up high this morning and still feel proud for my team.

Umm...okay?

Your analysis of the game is way off, btw.
