Brady has never seen this kind of pressure, in all ways.

 

[Statorama]

No flag?

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

Brady getting beat like a rented hooker.

 

[Woz]

Regardless of the outcome of this game, or the recent controversy around the Patriots, I think we can all agree that the Giants not only were the best team in the NFC and belong in this Superbowl, but are one of the two best teams in the NFL. Another Patriots Superbowl, another nailbiter.

In the regular season, the Giants were average at best. Greatness in the playoffs doesn't not erase that fact.

haters. They were as good as anyone cept Dallas and the Pack during the regular season, better than most on the road.And it is all about scoreboard. When it counted, the Giants made it count, and Dallas and the Pack blew chunks.

That's not saying much. At any point in time an argument could have been made that the Giants, Seahawks, Bucs, Vikings, or Lions were the third best team in the NFC... and none of those teams were particularly outstanding in the regular season.

No flag?

For what?

see, i want to agree w/ you but i watched my vikings obliterate these guys. i mean it wasn't even close. really, we're seeing a decent team click at exactly the right time.

My Packers obliterated them too.....Just not when it counted. Giants turned it on at the right time.

And the Bears destroyed the Packers. Bears = Best team in the NFC.

Thanks for that insight Roxanne

Say what?

 

[Statorama]

Calling it now...Patriots 13-10 in the first SuperBowl OT.

Isn't the "game going into OT" prop something like 200-1?

 

[Statorama]

No flag?

For what?

Looked like Welker got mugged

 

[Newslang]

What were the vegas odds for a Tyree first recieving TD?

 

[Woz]

Brady not on top of his game today... pressure seems to be getting to him

Great analysis.

tat was from aikman, i forgot the quotes

Here's the 1st "Pats can blame this on Walsh" post.

How many of those teams won 10 straight on the road?And when were the Vikes or the Lions ever considered the third best team in the NFC in this decade, never mind this year?

If there were a flag is should have been on the Patriots offensive linemen for his hand going into the defenders facemask during the rush on that play.

Aikman is posting here?

 

[Green and Gold]

Great game so far by the Giants D. If they pull this out, they deserve the MVP as a unit.

 

[Statorama]

Here go the old Giants...trying to run off the last 9 minutes of clock...

 

[Statorama]

Same old Eli

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

Eli Grossman

 

[mr. furley]

gb Eli

what a move to get away and then a horrible pass to cap the play

 

[smackdaddies]

wow, what a missed opportunity

 

[shining path]

Come on, Eli.

 

[bakes]

AUUGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

 

[bostonfred]

Osi would get it if the Giants won. Back to watching the game.

 

[hammerva]

Right now the biggest issues with the Giants is:

1. Overconfidence. That defense left the field way too excited for about 9 minutes in the game

2. Repeating mistakes. The main reason they lost the first game is because the Giants quit at the end and sat on the ball

#### that was close.

 

[Newslang]

Go to work Strahan.

 

[nerangers]

key stop!

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

Why is the clock stopped?

 

[smackdaddies]

A great tackle.

But man, what a horrible missed opportunity by Eli/Burress

 

[Woz]

Does anyone else picture Woz as Kelso?

 

[Statorama]

That Eli Manning incompletion to Burress and Toomer running a 1 yard short pattern are exactly what seperates good teams from great teams

you see another angle the rest of us didn't?

every punt inside the 20 today for Feagles?

Gotta keep the ball away from Welker. he WILL burn the Jints...

I agree with him. Burress should have kept running.

That's what the announcers said Roxanne. But ask you Dad - he probably knows more than Aikman

wow.

I think Brady to Welker completes that, and I think Welker runs a 10 yard pattern when they need 10 yards...NOT 9.

i got drunk just reading that

I agree with him. Burress should have kept running.
