Congrats Wellington, your team played better. Good game but it was tough to watch. I can't believe Samuel did not pick off Eli on that final drive. I knew when that happened bad things were coming and sure enough Tyree did the bad thing. All the credit to Eli and the rest of the Giants.

I think Tiki leaving was good for the Giants, actually... seems to have sold them on what turned into a very effective committee approach this year. I think you're going to see more teams try a more diverse (or at least more populated) backfield in the coming year.

You need less dudes who think they are bigger than the team, on any team.

They were absolutely buried when he left. They were picked to finish with under 6 wins this season.

Did anyone actually think the Giants were done this year because Tiki Barber retired? I don't remember seeing that. And it's not like they were picked to go far the last few years with him. When was the last time they got out of the first round? Their Super Bowl year?

Manning at Tennessee is a much better example of the Ewing Theory.

The spot was bad, the challenge was legit though. Incredibly rare to see, but it's legal. And the fumble recovery wasn't a bad call, just a symptom of a bad rule. Patriots should have been given possession on a moral sort of level, but according to NFL rules and customs the refs made the right call.

They challenged the play after they had run another play. That was complete bullshit.

Is Eli officially the God King of the greatest city on Earth?

Does this put him past Jeter?

Will Eli soon be transmitting STDs to hollywood starlets in a few years time?

It was a change of possession relatively early in the Super Bowl. It would have been fishy if they hadn't gone to commercial.

That's why I said, "somewhat." I wasn't calling it suspicious, just making a statement or observation. Other challenge flags have to be thrown within seconds while in instances like this you get minutes of discussion. Just luck of the draw.

Anyone who watched this, you saw history.

It was an unbelievable game for all types of fans, especially ones rooting for the Giants. This is something you'll remember for probably the rest of your lives.

The Giants are the heroes of New York, New Jersey and their fans all over.

I want to see Schlereth and Salisbury. At the beginning of the year they both said we had no left tackle, the coach is a lame duck and we could not match Tiki's production. Schlereth said that the entire franchise was a 'disaster'.

I've no doubt its because he won't have to play in peyton's shadow nor did peyton want him to wait 9 years for a ring.

what are the other greatest super bowl plays?

i mean, for me, the eli escape and pass has to be #1 super bowl play since without it the giants would have lost. absolutely unbelievable. instead of greatest super bowl plays, we should be talking about greatest plays ever in any sport.

From Don Banks

Trust me when I tell you that folks close to Brady were very, very worried about his ankle on the Sunday night after New England had beaten San Diego in the AFC title game earlier that day. Brady basically couldn't even walk on his sore ankle that night at home, which tells you how fortunate the Patriots were that there's a two-week gap between the conference title game and the Super Bowl.

Still, Brady appeared to have trouble with his deep passing touch against the Giants, which could be attributable, at least in part, to his inability to plant that foot and follow-through on his throws.

One more for laughs

The Patriots' dynasty started with the tuck rule, and it ended with the Tuck Rules. As in Giants defensive tackle Justin Tuck rules, after the dominant game he just turned in against New England.

I'm pretty proud of that one.

wat?

And the Tyree reception in the winning drive wasn't a 'Hail Mary type' play in spirit? The Pats were in the lead until that insanity.
Click to expand...

No, a Hail Mary play would be if Eli got out of the pocket then just lunged the ball towards and end zone and hoping one of his guys got to it. Tyree was in the middle of the field, open, and Eli threw a deep ball to him. It was a bit too high, so Tyree needed the circus catch to come away with it.

Lucky yes, but every team has their share of luck in these games. I point to Eli's 'INT' as an example :)

I gotta say, even though I've been on the Giants bandwagon for the past couple of weeks, the Patriots (players) really impressed me after the game with how they were talking about the Giants. They were all genuinely impressed with how the Giants came out and played, and we didn't hear any of that bullshit we usually hear: "We didn't play up to our standards, we lost this game, they didn't win it." Even Moss came out there and showed some humility. I guess not everything is learned from the Coach.

that entire play is instantly the best NFL play I've seen and will see until Palmer toys with whatever NFC team comes out next year for his 8th TD of the game.

Amazing that Moss was really a non factor throughout the playoffs.

Welker was really the guy who was doing it on NE's offense.

Though Brady definitely missed a few deep throws to Moss that he was making earlier in the season. And the balls were hideously inaccurate. I mean they were barely visible on the screen and sometimes so underthrown that even the defenders couldn't make a play on the ball.

I felt Moss was dogging it a little too on that last drive. I mean the game over, but I felt he was ready to go home.

the montana pass to john taylor against cincy is the greatest superbowl play ever! yes i'm biased :(

the tyree play was incredible though. it has to go down as top 5 at least (i still think the final play "1 yard short" in the rams/titans game was incredible)
