Giants Win
What a game! It will certainly be remembered as one of the best of all time. Both defenses were outstanding, but New York’s ability to put pressure on Brady was the difference. If Brady wasn’t getting sacked, he was being knocked down. In spite of the Giants defense though, Brady was still able to drive his team down the field and hit Moss for what could have been the game winner.
But the Giants offense, which had also been shut down, due to an outstanding effort by the New England D, would not be denied. The Patriots defense made Manning and the G men earn it though. The key play was when Manning somehow avoided a sack and slung the ball downfield. The pass was somehow caught by Tyree, who used his helmet to snag it. The winning touchdown to Burress ranks up there with Montana to Taylor in Super Bowl XXIII. It was that big, and maybe even bigger, considering the Patriots had one of the best teams ever.
More from:
Big Orange Micheal at MCB- “This could be the biggest upset in NFL history. I need to sleep on it to be sure. All I know is it was wonderful to see the Patriots stumble on the biggest stage. I love that all the pundits were proved wrong.”
Gingersnaps- “Call me an old fogie, but I’m glad. There will never be a line-up like Bob Griese, Larry Csonka, Jim Kiick, Mercury Morris… Gotta say, though…tonight’s game was great!”
Right Truth- “Congratulations to Eli Manning and the entire team.”
Rustmeister- “Belichick, the class act he is, leaves before the game’s over, not congratulating the opposing teams coach.“
Brian’s Blog- “A second year in a row for a David Cutcliffe coached quarterback to win the Super Bowl. Tonight, Good overcame Evil. Positive overcame Hate. Reputable overcame Tabloid.”
Brian at Six Meat Buffet- “I’m sorry Tom Petty but who programs the Super Bowl half-time? And why do they only seem to pick up a satellite signal stuck on 1989? My full moon fever broke around the time Nirvana came out.”
Kevin of Lean Left- “The Giants receivers were the difference in the game. They made Manning look good, making several spectacular catches. Manning should not have been the MVP, his receiving corps should have been.”
John Norris Brown- “The Patriots are looking at the first ever disappointing 18-1 season.“
Brady choked. Never saw him play so bad.
I was surprised he missed a couple of open guys. But I don’t think he choked. The Giants defense was outstanding and caused Brady to spend most of the night on the turf. He did enough to win though. The Giants just answered with a drive of their own.
Choked? Not at all. Is Brady a Republican? I haven’t heard anyone suggest Brady choked.
That might be the best prevent defense ever in the Super Bowl. Nice job Giants.
It doesn’t get any closer than last night.
It was a good game. I was all set NOT to watch, ’cause I thought it’d be a snorefest. Glad I found nothing better to watch.
