OK the fourth quarter pissed me off so many times. I saw my guys expertly move down the field and score, and then they freakin' giants fumbled their whole way back and stupidly got SO MANY lucky breaks. They actually measured the ball twice when the giants had it. RIDICULOUS!

What a ridiculous game.

!!!!!

I hate football now. UGH!

I completely agree. Sadly, I had to WORK through the Super Bowl tonight, so I didn't get to see a bit of it. However, I did listen to the last bit of it on the radio. Irate is a completely inadequate word to describe me during that last Giants drive. The Patriots had a legacy... they were THISCLOSE to setting a history-making perfect season, to having that trophy, to be considered the absolute best team of our generation....

And they BLEW it! Now, instead of making history, they're but another footnote.

I'm reminded of a saying. "Cheaters never prosper."

But seriously, Yay for the Giants. Even though I only saw the 4th quarter, what a quarter. This is payback for what they did to the Rams in 2002. Bastards.

Hey, I didn't even watch the game, and I made 12 bucks! Yay Giants!

I'm now reading this while still only slightly drunk, and I need to ask you all something...

Not an exciting game?! Are you kidding me?

This game was packed full of sacks, hard runs, and Tom Brady eating turf almost 25% of the time he touched the ball. It wasn't a blow out, each team was playing well the whole game through. I'm of the opinion that the game was a good match up, and the better team won.

With a little asterisk next to the record, stating how they were found guilty of cheating! Nothing can top the 72 Dolphins.

And how. I mean, had that just taken that field goal, instead of trying to run it, they've have won the thing. But either egos, or a lapse in common sense, made them think they could score a few more points by running it.

That's bull. All the teams watch each other to see if they can pick up each other's plays, Patriots did cross the line in video recording it. However, they were punished for it. 10-1 odds that since the Patriots lost, the Senate will drop the investigation...

Which was a sham, in my opinion. The only rules that were broken were NFL rules, and the NFL dealt with it internally. Why the Senate got involved was merely to placete the consituents.

All in all, a great game. I pity Tom Brady, cuz he really is the best QB in the league right now, but Manning played way better this time around. Furthermore, that stupid pussy ass challenge by Bill on that 12-player on field thing was such a pussy call, that at that point, I wanted to fucking SINK the patriots.

Great game overall, I still feel kinda bad about the pats, they are for sure the best team of this generation, but Giants really took this one home. It's good to be a New Jersey-an (even if half the people here are eagles fans, and thus hate the giants...lol).

That one play by manning where he broke 3 tackles, avoided a sack, to throw a PERFECT throw was unbelieveable. I actually dropped my beer in surprise, shock, and excitement!

Beer...

I got $20 off this game. Just thought you'd all like to know.

I was running security in my dorm last night during the game, and I of course had the lobby TV on to watch. It was a great game, I was watching in my security desk seat, and suddenly...out of nowhere...

The helmet catch.

Have you ever felt a dorm called The Towers shake from hundreds of students stomping and yelling? Yeah. That shit was crazy.

For the first 3 quarters, the game was constantly tied at 7-3 and neither offense could really get anything going at all to score points. Sure, sacks are great, but I would much rather see great passing/running drives up the field for touchdowns rather than a few good tackles. Also, most of those defensive plays mostly led to Brady throwing a very rushed pass. Not that exciting..

Also, the Pats actually had a really bad game. Tom Brady is basically the star of that team with the other players making notable plays, but if he can't make plays then the team doesn't do well and it definetely showed. He was constantly under pressure as the O-Line just couldn't hold off the defense (Starting Right Guard was injured). Brady couldn't make good passes because of the pressure. The running game was off and nothing special, and the defense just seemed to slightly hold off the Giants from scoring. The Giants' 3rd down conversion was really good. I don't want to say "What if", but honestly if the Pats offense were actually able to get anything going for points, then it would've been a much different game.

Also, I will admit the Giants definetely played a much better game than the Pats during the Superbowl, but they in no way are a better team. When the Pats are playing their "A game" then they're almost unstoppable like they've been in the past games of the season. They weren't 18-0 because of 18 flukes. Like I said, Brady just couldn't get the ball to his receivers for big yardage, the offense couldn't get rolling, and the defense just barely kept it close. The Pats really didn't play their best game during the Superbowl, but the Giants did.

EDIT: Except for the second half of the 4th quarter, not many notable plays happened at all. Pretty much all of the real excitement came from the those last six minutes. The rest of the game was just back and forth with nothing really happening.
