In the case of that throw? No, he doesn't. Only throw of the night I question him is the Gronkowski pass. It's like he forgot who he was throwing to.

Yes I do blame him for the throw because I believe could have been a possible TD. I'm still going to blame Welker for not making the catch, but Brady didn't make it easy on him. I will still never forgive him for starting the super bowl with a safety. That was just a pure panic move on his part. No receiver even close to the football.
 
Fuck the OS, give me back football! Isn't there a shitty league playing this summer or starting? Or is that still delayed, I recall there a little while ago that a 2nd league aside from UFL was thinking about opening, is that still in the works?

The safety was hardly a panic move. From the replay it looked like Branch didn't make the right route.
 
Just got around to watching some of the "highlights".

Holy shit, Mayo, how do you not get that INT?
With the 2 fumbles, the Welker/Brady drop, Branch, Hernandez, the needless interception, etc., the Pats really did themselves in.

Fuckety fuck.

That's a good list (you love the Packers so much).

Well, I'm not going to recommend him any Panthers games! They're all too depressing.

Week 1 vs Cards-Give up punt return, defense chokes against Kevin Kolb. LOSE
Week 2 vs Packers-Go up 10-0 on defending champs, should have scored another touchdown. LOSE
Week 4 vs Bears-Take lead deep into fourth quarter on road. Get burnt by Hester almost three times. Defense chokes. LOSE
Week 5 vs Saints-Should-be easy 3rd and 1 conversion, two of the best backs in the league. Chudzinski says "Fuck It, I'm going deep". Defense chokes (again). LOSE
Week 6 vs Falcons-Competitive early, entire team folds. LOSE
Week 8 vs Vikings-Olindo Mare misses chip shot (because he sucks). LOSE
Week 10 vs Titans-Entire team self-destructs. LOSE
Week 11 vs Lions-Have twenty point lead on road, Cam gonna Pro Bowl Cam. Defense chokes (recurring theme?). LOSE
Week 17 vs Saints-Competitive early. Saints bring Katrina refs in, "miss" blatant OPI calls. Brees pad-statting. LOSE

WTF are you even talking about. Mayo is one of the best players on this team? Did you watch this scrub play 16 games this season? Go watch every snap of the Pats defense the last two years, and then come back and tell me Mayo is a good player. He is fucking garbage.
Click to expand...

I've watched him three years in college (Tennessee) and four in the NFL. I'm a Tennessee Volunteer fan so every time I tune into a Patriots game my eyes are on him. Mayo is a fricken stud, and he was selected to the All Pro Team in 2010 as well as making the Pro Bowl roster. Yet some how you think he sucked last year? LOL ok.

BTW he was also AP defensive rookie of the year in 2008, and the patriots just signed him to five year contract. But yet somehow you know better then an organization that has gone to the Super Bowl five out of the last ten years?

Seriously? Never forgive him? For one mistake that nine of out ten times isn't even called?

THE GUY WON YOU THREE SUPER BOWL TITLES!

I know that they aren't great full games but 4th quarter Denver games during the win streak were fun. Just cut out the first 3 quarters, reduce the shitiness.

I'll laugh when Eli ends up with more rings than Brady.

Could very well happen.

I think there's about an 85% chance giants miss the playoffs. This is the team that lost to the redskins. Twice. That'll probably happen again and i think the eagles will get their crap together. This is such a bang/bust team they'll be content for 3 years at least.

Wow, are you kidding? The Welker and Branch throws were trash, dude. It's ok to admit that Brady isn't infallible.
Click to expand...

Are you kidding? Where have I ever mentioned Brady is otherworldly?

There were two Branch passes that come to mind. One of them on the final drive, Brady threaded and it appeared Branch misplayed/lost line of sight of the pass. The other play was the 3rd down pass where when you see the play from a different angle, the communication clearly wasn't there and the spot didn't make much sense.

The Welker throw wasn't spectacular, but 9/10 times a wideout of that caliber makes the catch. Simple as that.
 
Sanjuro Tsubaki said:
Are you suggesting that you are a member of this "retarded" fan base? Of course Welker deserves blame.
Click to expand...

If you can get your hands on it, you should catch it. Kudos to Welker for taking the blame, it was very difficult to catch but so were some of the balls the Giants did catch. It's the Super Bowl, you have to make two or three of the impossible plays...
 
Another ho-hum super bowl. The past three have been nothing special. Glad the Pats lost, but that was no more exciting than a regular season match up despite them trying to boost that sideline catch.
 
I hope this OS there isn't any events that destroys the OS-thread like last year. Then again I think that can be blamed on the lockout

I love Welk.

I really do.

Got his Jersey and everything.

But he dropped the ball (literally) on that play when Pats were still in the lead. If he had gotten that we would have won. Didn't help that Branch and Hernandez dropped 2 essential passes either.

The defense failed on that last giants drive as well... sucks because they were doing really good all game. Not great, but for the Pats D, amazing.

But it was Welks dropped catch that was the win-lose defining moment. Sucks...

I also think if Gronk was at 100% we would have won. He almost got that last bomb.

I'm really upset right now. Have never been more sad/ angry at something in my life (that I have no impact on really besides death, sickness etc.)....

I dunno what to do anymore. I thought Tom Brady would win. I thought I would be lucky enough to see that. I haven't seen Tom Brady win a SB since I was like 9 or 10. I barely paid attention then. Fuck. I don't know what to do with my life. A lot people say it's just a game, but I feel like it's more than that to me. I will wake up tomorrow and continue my life as normal but boy has my perspective changed. To be the best, it doesn't come easy. I guess growing up around Tommy winning so much, then the amazing 2007 season made me feel like it was just so possible to win. I knew, like on paper Giants should win. They are the Patriots kryptonite. The pass rush for Brady, the the receivers for our shit defense.

Good luck to all the Patriots players. On Brandon Spikes twitter he said he was feeling suicidal. The Pats aren't the giants where they can be barely in contention one moment, and then Super Bowl champs the next. Patriots players need to win every game. And fuck, the most important one they fuck up on. But you could tell in the body language. The Pats were under a lot of pressure. They weren't having fun. The Giants were going out there to have a good time, and of course to win. The Patriots were just going out there to win. They cracked under the pressure. Especially the defense, but even the offense. Eli is so god damn clutch. Welker is the opposite. And Tom Brady is a god damn smart quarterback, but he needs some proper receivers.

Eli Manning has my full respect. He outplayed Brady when it mattered most. Belichick was out coached. Respect to coughlin. Respect to the giants organization. But seriously I fucking hate the Giants. I would kill Eli in real life if I had the chance, even putting my entire life behind bars... I wouldn't actually but I'm that upset.

The bitter salt will keep NFL-GAF fueled until September.

Ah, this reminds me of '08 when everyone in the media handed the NFC East to the Cowboys after the Giants Super Bowl win. How well did that work out?

I'm not saying we're going on a repeat run or that we'll suddenly become as machine like as the '08 team, but I love how people act as though these other teams in the division will improve while the Giants are in some ridiculous bubble where they won't get better (getting back the third world country worth of injured players alone). The team has the chemistry again and even players who doubted in the past have bought into the coach and his message. That alone gives me hope for a bright future.

I don't know that it needed boosting. Watching it a second time in the game - it's a pretty incredible catch and throw. The miracle to Tyree was a once in a lifetime type of throw and catch that just screamed destiny. The amount of luck it took was pretty amazing. The Manning to Manningham throw and catch was just pure skill (both by Manning in placing the ball and Manningham in completing the catch) on display so I appreciate it more.

I don't disagree that it wasn't an amazing game though.

To be fair, so many of your fans wanted Coughlin fired so many times, it just tells you how crazy it is to be in the NFL. And those "pundits", man they're worse than game journos, just no fucking idea what they are talking about.

We can only blame one player for this loss. A destroyer of Patriotic dreams and rumor has it that he hates America and all that is good in this world.

Bernard Pollard.

I want to just relegate this to the joke this is, and yet he arguably was directly responsible for putting the Patriots season in jeopardy in three different seasons. With the way the Pats defense stepped up a healthy Gronk may have won them the game straight up.

He was working out of a hotel room in downtown Indianapolis, fighting off bronchitis, fading mentally from Indy's vegetable/fruit shortage and inexplicably referring to himself in the third person.

If he somehow gets deathly ill after the SB again he'd probably be better off not attending Patriots SBs anymore. He may end up dying of malaria one of these days if he does.
 
SB Ratings fell just short of the record (literally .1 point):

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/02/06/super-bowl-falls-just-short-of-ratings-record/

The Giants’ 21-17 win over the Patriots came in with a 47.8 overnight rating and 71 share of the viewing audience, according to the Associated Press. That’s just off the record 47.9 overnight rating for the Packers’ victory over the Steelers last year, a mark that game shares with Super Bowl 21 when the Giants beat the Broncos.

Sunday night’s broadcast peaked in the fourth quarter when Nielsen reported a 51.8 rating as the Giants fought their way back to a victory. The game set a new Nielsen NFL record for Boston where the game received a 56.7 rating while the game trailed only that previous Giants Super Bowl among viewers in New York.
