Considering the fact that the past 3 super bowls that they had won were by an average of 3 points, it was a horrible move.
You KNOW if they had Adam Vinny in there they would have went straight for the fg, no questions asked.

But think about it, if they had converted it would have been a heartbraker and would have changed the game completly
 
^^^ Yea and bad playcall on dat last drive by the Pats the played double on Burress the whole game but didnt in the redzone???? Im still pissed Moss didnt holddat trophy doe man
 
But think about it, if they had converted it would have been a heartbraker and would have changed the game completly

chances are you aren't gonna change the game going for 4th and 16 in the third quarter, especially when your QB was having trouble completing deep passesall day.

stupid call. Bill went for that 4th and 16 because he thought he was up by 50 points in the 4th. what a fool.

Yes.

Also, that year the Yankees lost to the D-Backs in game 7.
A win by the Yankees was desperately needed to light up the city.



Anyway... O.M.G...!!!

That last drive by the Giants is something I will never forget in my life.
I can't believe I just witnessed this game.

The parade will be held near my work place.
I'll see if I can take an "early" lunch break

i can't remember but i don;t think the giants scored in the following possession anyways. and i think they set a rule that they didn;t want gostkowskyto try a FG attempt 40+ yards.

Football is a game of what-ifs (in almost every play), and a different course of action for that one play could've changed the outcome.
 
salted right now.... to be completely honest, i thought there was absolutely no way that the pats would lose..... smh

But say you punt it, and pin them deep. Then it becomes a game of field possition, and possibly score a field goal or a touchdown IF New York punts theball. If New England hits the field goal, its a tie game outcome (assuming everything happens the same way as it turned out).

And yes, I know they would have gone for the FG with Vinitari in. But still, it would have been a... 52 yarder I believe. Not impossible, but tough. But ifit does go through, it could have changed the outcome of the game, thats forsure.

you just said it yourself...Brady DIDN'T have good pass protection the whole game...
laugh.gif


how are you going to say he choked on the deep balls when it would have taken a miracle from God to come back with 35 seconds left on the 20 yard line in the biggest game of the year after having the biggest emotional letdown a couple seconds ago and the Giants and everyone in the world knowing you're going to throw deep...

if Eli wouldn't have had that godly last drive and Brady's drive culminating in the TD pass to Moss would have stood...he still would've been a choker?
laugh.gif
c'mon man, I know you're a Colts fan but let's try and be smart here...

the fact is he shouldn't have been out there for the last 35 seconds
smh.gif
...he did his job when it mattered

You're not allowed to post

Seeing the Pats walk off the field with an L gave me absolute joy....

Don't have to hear about 19-0, because 18-1 is NOTHING without a ring...

Thank you Gmen I've bet on you every week of the playoffs and it paid off$$$. You are officially my 2nd favorite team haha.
 
dont know if it has been posted already but here is an article from yahoo sports which I completely agree with.


[h4]If he's going to lose, Bill Belichick would rather be elsewhere[/h4]
By MJD

On more than one occasion this year, Bill Belichick and the Patriots have run up the score on an overmatched opponent, and forced an opposing coach to sit there and watch his beaten team go through the motions while their heineys were being handed to them.

But when the shoe's on the other foot, and Bill Belichick's team has been beaten, he can't sit there and take the pain for a few seconds.

With :02 left on the clock, and his team just having failed on a last chance 4th down effort, Bill Belichick ran onto the field for a quick handshake, and then bolted for the locker room. Belichick's an important guy and everything, but I wasn't aware that the league had given him the authority to decide when games end.

There's time left on the clock, his team's been humbled, outplayed, and lost their chance at history ... and Bill Belichick doesn't have the stomach to sit there and absorb the pain until the clock read 0:00.

That's unsportsmanlike at best, disrespectful at least, and at worst, it makes him a big sissy.

Because Bill Belichick wanted to go hide when he lost, the field ended up being flooded with people, and the officials had to clear the area before the Giants could take their final snap and make it official. When you lose, you take your loss. You don't leave early because it makes you feel sad inside. Your opponent deserves more respect than that.

Anyone remember in 2004 when
Randy Moss left the sidelines with 2 seconds left in a Vikings vs. ******** game? Moss was selfish, a baby, a quitter, didn't respect his teammates, and didn't respect the game. Belichick just did the same thing, but did it on the biggest possible stage, and did it from the position of a leader of men.

Maybe there's something to be said for the inability to lose well ... most great winners don't lose well, and a sore loser is still a loser.

But still, if you're an adult, you finish out the game, and you give your opponents the stage and the respect they deserve.
 
NY's final drive is the "Greatest Drive" in NFL history.
Wow, Yall really get carried away with the here and now.

John Elway, 98 yard drive is called "The Drive" Im guessing U never even heard of it.

and this the greatest Superbowl ever?
Nah.
I ll take Rams/Titans and Bills/Giants before this one
 
I haven't been this excited by a SB since my Steelers took it two years ago

In the beginning of the game, I wanted the Giants to win but I just wasn't sure if they could do it. The offense was pissin' me offmissin' opportunities and I know you can't beat NE wit' no touchdowns.

The second of this game was

I'm not even gon' take about "the play"....straight outer-body experience Eli had. He was on his Superman jont right there, I'm STILL inshock. 3 DUDES THO!? Like.....who does that? And Eli a scrawny lookin' dude too
laugh.gif


All in all, the BEST team one. I feel bad for Moss cuz the only dude on that team I like....and Seau, he old as hell so he gotta try and get in where he fitin before the time runs out. Anyways, better luck next year. And the dude who said the D should got the MVP is RIGHT. They controlled the tempo of the game,point blank. Never got tired, and picked up the slack when the offense couldn't get into a rhythm.
 
Congrats to the giants, they played great. Eli has one more believer in me. Their D-line played great
 
Manning MVPs consecutive years.
Smells real fishy.
League wants squeaky clean image.
Enjoy your SB Victory.
 
Don't like either teams, I expected a blowout by the Pats. It turned out to be a great game by the Giants though........
