Congrats to Giants fan. But since the Vikings kicked the snot out of them, does this qualify the Vikes for a plus-1 contest? Skol Vikings!

 

[Erzengel]

Didn't Moss complain til he was traded to the Pats?

 

[Excel]

patriots: 16-0 In 2008 + Super Bowl Win!

That reminds me; it's really nice to have a football season end with a definitive champion and not some nonsense like we get in college.

I'm glad to see Belicheck get what he deserved. I just wish Junior Seau would have been on the Giants so he could have gotten a ring.

When Bardy went for those 4th and 20's, my heart was beating way too fast, if he had made one of them, I think my heart would have exploded

Yup.

You can't make a pair of Nike's naked

That is better than outright trashing them.

There's actually a website I saw that sells shirts and hats like those. I wonder if I can dig it up again.

 

[Go Web Go!]

Are people going to blame Giselle for the Pats loss like they did with Romo and JS? Hmm.

not at all.....it was obvious what was causing Bradys' poor play tonight...a suffocating Giants defense

I'm sure it will do great in the "fiction" section.

That Amazon link is like a peep into an alternate timeline.

Has Belichick done an interview yet? I've been watching the news all night?

I remember riding the subway the night of Game 5 of the Yankees/Mets World Series and seeing a guy wearing all the Mets World Series Champions stuff. No idea where he got it.

I saw him briefly during the postgame. He looked like he was going to leave and try and drown himself in the showers afterwards.

I want to congratulate the Giants. Their front 4 played lights out and Brady was rushed the entire game. I think the front four was the key to the game but the Giants coverage in the secondary was impressive. I think the Giants were able to stop the rush and force the Patriots to pass which allowed them to tee off on the Patriots weakened offensive line. Heck of a defensive game plan.

The Patriots defense played pretty damn well the entire game, however they made some mistakes in the secondary and missed tackles definately hurt them. Samuel missed and interception on the sideline that was a big key, Hobbs blew the coverage on Burress on the game winning TD, up to three Patriots missing the sack on Manning on the game winning drive. These old men certainly looked old.

The Patriots offense was off key all night long up what seemed to be the game winning drive. The star of the offense all night was Wes Welker and Kevin Faulk made some key plays out of the backfield. Tom Brady was not Tom Brady. It was a valiant effort, but he was misfiring all night long. You can certainly credit the Giants defense with making Brady miss. Where the heck was Muroney all night? He had a kick return and then disappeared into the Giants front seven.

Now for the Giants offense, they showed up when it counted. Eli Manning looked Bradyesque on both TD drives. They made more big plays than the Patriots. They didn't abandon the run and complimented the run with the pass when applicable. Kudos to Manning who I have been killing all year long on the boards and otherwise. He was the Giant's "Giant Killer". I am thoroughly impressed with him now.

To me this tarnishes the Patriots season. Sure they wen't 18-0 going into the Superbowl, sure they shattered records. I understand that Brady broke the record for most touchdowns thrown in a single season. I understand Moss broke the recored for most touchdowns receiving in a single season. None of that matters though because they lost the Superbowl. That is how I feel, and I know that is how they feel. They will now be considered by some, including me, the 2nd best team of the 2007 season. The best team in the league being the Super Bowl Champions...New York Giants.

Congrats to the fans on the boards and the fans abroad. The Giants earned and and you fans deserve it.
