Better team did win. Pats regulars bitched about their defense all year, and ultimately it failed them. All they had to do was stop Eli to hold on to their 2 point lead.

You can't stop Eli when I was believing in him!!!

 

[cuevas. PhD.]

That little shit Welker messing up makes this Patsy loss so much more enjoyable.

To be fair Brady could have made it a way easier catch if he had led him a little bit.

 

[WanderingWind]

This is why that didn't make any sense to me. When time is much more important than downs at the end of a game, I don't see a reason for teams not to do this.

Because some teams would rather not have the asterix by their name in the W-L column.

So basically the Patriots will be doing this every game next year.

 

[verbum]

real man.

You shoot a bear from 150-200 yards away with a high powered rifle. No Davy Crockett's in this century. I say make everyone get a bear with a knife, then I would be more impressed.

Disagree the Pats held the Giants to 21 points the offense let the Pats down. They could have easily put the game away, but they fucked up and the Giants made the plays at the end. The offense failed them today.

Basically made this my facebook status.

Soooooooo gooooooooooooood.

Keeping a team from getting a field goal with 3 minutes to go in a game is almost impossible. Psychology of the defense + 4 down time makes it an 80% proposition for the offense of even terrible teams. Reverse the situation today and the pats win (duh?).

 

[Oozer3993]

Without Brady's safety, the Pats only need a field goal on that last drive to tie. (I'm assuming the Giants would have kicked the PAT).

Where will RG3 land?

Cleveland. He's gonna lead another team from the wilderness .

*QB recognizes 12 men on the field after the second or third time*
*Spikes the ball*

Five yards in one second.

20 yards in a tree stand

To reverse the situation you needed to be a better team...

Poor Jet fans.Their greatest joy is seeing the Patriots lose Super Bowls.

 

[Madtown_]

Glad the Giants won, I guess.

Good to see Brady sucking it up when it matters most, AFC CG and Super Bowl.

I missed a fair amount but I thought the best commercials were the M&Ms one and the Coke 'Catch' polar bear ones were best.

 

[Tabris]

FIRST 9-7 TEAM TO WIN THE SUPERBOWL. ROAD WARRIORS!!! ELI-TE!!!

 

[WanderingWind]

It's the "smart" thing to do, so probably.

 

[NG28]

I understand this, but why leave it to the integrity of a team instead of changing the rules? Then again this is the NFL.

Too slow - the clock already reads 0:00.

Good day, sir.

 

[Big-E]

Loss isn't as bad as the one before at least in terms of my mental health. I guess take this as a blessing making it this far off of this piss poor defense that somehow is able to get some results despite their awfulness for years now. Can't wait til the draft where we draft our first defensive player in the third round.

I guess it depends on how you look at it. They had the lead, all they had to do was hold it. On the other hand the offense could have put the nail in the coffin.

If it was abused, it would be changed. No reason to adjust until then really.

 

[TheLegendary]

Goddamn Giants fans are going to be even more shitty. Glad Lord Brady didn;t get another one though.

Eli is officially Eli-te. Congrats

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

The offense gets another play because the game can't end on a defensive penalty.

My thought exactly.

The other team gets another play because the game can't end on a defensive penalty.

Enjoy your hail mary from the 50.

They never needed videotaping to win.

 

[WanderingWind]

Wonder if Underwood is celebrating right now.

 

[Tabris]

HELL YES!!!

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Either way the Jets lose.

 

[Goro Majima]

Giants should sign the dude and give him a ring!

 

[TheFatOne]

For me I have to blame the offense. This year for the defense it has been about making enough plays to win the game. They did exactly that, and the offense couldn't hold up their end of the bargain. This defense is never going to stop good teams from scoring they can only limit their damage. Kept the game close enough for Brady, and he failed them.

 

[Spectral Glider]

I love it when Satan loses.

 

[Narag]

Wonder if Underwood is celebrating right now.

He'd have been paid and entitled to a ring if the Pats won. If he was any sort of teammate, he wouldn't be happy for the loss.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

Either way the Jets lose.

Better for their fans to lose legit than to win* via cheating.

 

[squicken]

0-3-***

Thank you Eli

 

[Buckethead]

Well that was fun... Words With Friends time

 

[jacket320]

I heard he lost a finger

 

[Tabris]

I AM STILL SO AMPED. THIS IS SO GOOD!!!!

 

[WanderingWind]

I'm pretty giddy at the thought of the Brady era being over, finally. The team is going to lose a lot of talent, and they have a lot of holes to fill already. But, then again, the don't really have any competition in their division

 

[TheDrizzlerJ11]

You mean they never used videotaping to win.

 

[Margalis]

Bridget Moynahan is hotter than Gisele Bundchen.

Who's with me?

I almost forgot in all the hype did his replacement even play one snap? I know they would have used him for special teams. If the used him to replace Gronk then cutting Underwood made perfect sense.

 

[elrechazado]

They also have 8 first rounds picks that they will now turn into 35 4th and 5th rounders.

You mean the one that Gronk catches if he isn't playing on one foot?

 

[Fox318]

 

[TemplaerDude]

I am not happy right now

They have 4 picks in the first 2 rounds.If they can sign Welker again and add some defensive players they should still be good.

Also,losing Super Bowls sucks.I don't know how you Bills fans lost 4 straight.
