What a play and what a game. Congratulations to the Giants!
Someone needs to track down Tiki Barber to ask him what he thinks of Eli now.
Single coverage on Plexico? They should have had people standing in the endzone.
As a longtime Pat’s fan, I have to agree. We had a great team, but no way can we beat a guy who can catch a ball with his head!
Manning should have been sacked in that play, he had three NE Patriots hanging off his jersey. He just did a better job, right when they needed it.
That’s why Superbowls are played.
That play was breathtaking. My congratulations to both teams for one of the best Super Bowl’s in a long time IMO.
I agree that this was the most exciting one ever. What really made the Giant win possible was the pressure that the NY defense put on Brady. I lost count of the number of sacks they got, and when they weren’t sacking Brady they were hurrying him, forcing a lot of bad throws. Toward the end of the game he was looking frustrated.
What are giants going to call the tyree catch? The 49ers have ‘the catch’, the steelers the immaculate reception. This is as big a play and I think deserves it’s proper place in NFL history.
I’ve been trying to find a clip of the Giants’ Catch on the internet, but I haven’t had any luck so far. The Catch part of it reminds me of the Tyrone Prothro Catch for Bama a few years ago.
This was an amazing catch. The whole drive was amazing. I was on the edge of my seat and almost called 911 at a few points. My kids were asleep on the couch beside me so I had to do a very quiet victor dance after that last touchdown.
Ditto that. The Giants played a great game, led by their defense. The only way to beat the Pats is to keep them off the board and the way to keep the Pats off the board is to keep Brady in the dirt which they did all day long.
I'm a Pats guy, but the Giants deserve this win big time!
I have never been so happy to see a team get beat because I have never liked Bill Belichick and his actions at the end of the game (I know 1 second seems minimal) lacked class. However, given his 4th and 13 decision and the Rams allegation before the game, he was probably trying to make it to the border.
Ole Archie sure is living a dream. Two fine young men who remind us football isn’t all about the thugs. Congrats to the Giants. They had a fantastic plan and executed it well.
And congratulations to Archibald Manning from an obscure Mississippi town of 2,000 who produced sons with character.
It looked like three Giants got their paws on Manning on that circus throw and catch to Tyree, but somehow he magically, and fatefully, managed to escape and the rest was beautiful to watch.
A play for the ages.
One of the most impressive things about the Giants run is that their last three playoff games were nail-biters that came down to the wire. Most of the time, a team can survive one game like that in the playoffs, but end up emotionally drained for the next game. They also got the toughest playoff draw across the board.
If Manning gets sacked, it's 4th-and-10+ and they likely don't convert to stay alive. If Tyree doesn't make the "circus" catch, a more reasonable 4th-and-5 comes up, but the the Giants are focused on getting a first down, rather than building off of the momentum.
Did anyone watching the game not just know, instinctively, that the Giants were going to score the game-winning TD after that play?
CLOSE THE MEADOWLANDS.
The GIANTS should play ALL their games away!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fantastic Game fantastic story legendary GIANT DEEEEEEFence
That could be the best catch ever in a Super Bowl. Just incredible for Tyree to hang on to that ball. It compares to, if not surpasses, Lynn Swann’s acrobatics and some of Jerry Rice’s clutch catches in past games.
Pretty Boy Brady had his mind elsewhere it appears.
