The pass from Manning that kept the last drive live was a circus catch from the receiver. Not the first time it happened in the game. Brady was right on the money with passes he practionally layed in the receivers hands and they dropped the pass. What game where you watching? Neither team was as good as the teams were four years ago. The best team was the Packers. 9 out of 10 times they beat the 7 loss Giants team, who happened to the worst running game in the NLF. The Patriots this year were Brady and nothing else. He got the team to the Super Bowl, inspite of them having one of the worst defenses in the league.
It seems like the Patriots, the rest of the team was being carried by Brady, and to a degree Granbonski and Hernandez, which does not help a team.
The Lions made the playoffs...just goes to show how watered-down the whole league was this year.
Late to the party, but oh my goodness, the Giants *did it!* I knew they would. So many great players, all healthy at once. Eli - who is the very best at being cool-headed and even. Cruz, Nicks, Jacobs, Tuck, Manningham, Bradshaw, Pierre Paul (love that his dad was there!), Rolle, Tynes.
God love them! Couldn’t be more stinking proud!
