Fuck the Giants.
Simple and plain... they got lucky.
How?
-Brady was hurt. I've watched him his entrie career, and I never saw him missing WRs by 20 feet like he did tonight. A healthy Brady is good for 35 points against the Giants, as we saw earlier this season.
- Referee bias. Someone laying on the ground hugging the football is generally considered down, especially when 5 guys from the other team jump him. Somehow, we lost that blown-handoff fumble. Eli's great pass at the end of the game should have ended with an in-the-grasp call...and had he missed that pass, the Pats would have been charged for roughing the passer. I also think that a ball isn't a catch if the WR hits the ground while the ballis rolling up his helmet.
The play where Belichick had to make a penalty call (too many men on the field) was the most obvious instance, an instance where the ref- working his first big game,I might add- simply was going toignore a flagrant penalty. Throw in the Giants jumping offsides all game without punishment, and you get a team playing 2 foes at once.
- The league and the networks needed New York winning.The Jets blow. The Knicks are a joke. Hockey doesn't matter any more. The Yankees are a quarter billion dollar laughingstock. If the Giants are exposed as pretenders, professional sports loses a 20 million person market.
- In order to aid NY, this silly Spygate stuff was brought up again, at the worst possible moment....serving to distract the good guys. Remember... us aiming a camera at the wrong place is worse- in the NFL's view- than stomping on someone's face with cleats.
Here are the legitimate reasons we lost tonight:
- Our offensive line is way, way overrated. Even with the Giants being allowed to leap offsides at will, there's no excuse for letting your QB get beat up like Brady did. Warren Sapp was 100% correct about Hochstein.
- You can get the better of our passing game by triple-teaming Moss and allowing Welker his 7 yard gains. Once Faulk was hurt, we had no one who was a threat to go more than 10 yards.
- As might be expected of old guys... our linebaclkers faded as the season went on. With the exception of Thomas, our LB corps was invisible.
- Our secondary has holes. Harrison isn't able to cover anyone anymore. Gay is a liability. Hobbs is average at best. Meriweather was a blown draft choice. Sanders is no good. When they needed a big stand, they wilted on the final drive.
- We missed Corey Dillon, badly.
Either way, my final impressions....
- The NFL didn't take our better draft pick away. We need to use it on either a linebacker, a cornerback, or an offensive lineman. We need that player to start and star immediately.
- I like to see pretty boys get beaten up...even if the pretty boy is one of us.
- If we played the Giants 50 times, we'd win over 40 of the games.
- The Giants stand a fair chance of not even making the playoffs this year.
- I wonder how much it would cost the Mafia to bribe Tom Brady. It makes as much sense as anything else.
- The decision to ditch the grey hoody for the red one was a huge, huge Karma error for the Belly.
- Reading body language... I can see Belichick retiring tomorrow.
- Even if the Pats came back and won... they aren't the greatest team of all time. One could make a fairly sound argument that NY dominated the game from start to finish, and that the game wasn't as close as the score (or the ending) would seem.
Eli vs Peyton next year? I'd root for both to be injured.
Again... congrats to the G Unit for their lucky win. They pretty much ruined February for me.
Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck FUCK!

I got hope. Bisquik crumble is all u can be. Ya'll is tainted. We fought...ya'll EXPECT. OK, let me get outta the dirty south. south by northeast. those little twisty tie finger pop exploders is what u be. Cept in that handful u threw, none exploded. Welcome to exposure. To the Giants, salud. And to blogger BigBlue. We takin' all hearts next year. Mines has been taken by Bolt age since birth...61. John Kerry on helmet and smiling bent over guy with Plukett's face comin' ur way. Oh Andre Tippett...where be ur 2nd place wheel kick now? Monpo...c'mon...LUCKY? Talk to the spirit of Tyree. Then become a delicate NE swirl of parfait. The writers are off strike. I'm a Charger fan...and I feel GOOD about the future. You, like Raider fans...will only be reminding me of your past. It's like...so cool.

FUCK FUCK FUCK AND FUCK is right
but we lost.
our OL couldnt stop a pop warner team last night
bellicheck should have had 20 different plans for stopping the pass rush. Looks like he had none
Eli may have a ring but he is still a snot nosed punk who got extremely luck -
I'll take that luck and the Lombardi Trophy, thank you.
As far as your other frustration related comments:
You're right about the fumble call. Why didn't Bellicheck throw the red flag? I saw the same thing you did.
The offsides rant is nonsense.
So is the notion that the NFL needs a New York team to win. The bigger boon to the NFL is the perfect season and "team for the ages" and all that. The NFL is the one league where New York must be successful mindset is not in play.
The spygate issue versus the Rams being brought up at this time is obvious. But that's Boston newspapers for you. I can only imagine what they are saying about the Pats today.
I hate the in the grasp rule, always have. Had they blown the whistle on that one, I'd have broken something. That was a great play. The ball didn't hit the ground.
As many mistakes as the Giants made and as many times as they marched into Pats territory without getting points, I was sure they were going to have it bite them in the ass.
Eli Manning played one hell of a game last night.
Tom Brady is not used to getting hit so often. Maybe he was hurt, but that happens.
Randy Moss' celebration after he FINALLY scored (when the DB slipped) was priceless given how the game ended. What are the chances of him coming back to New England next year?
I think you're right about Bellicheck. Bad time to switch sweatshirts. Hell, everyone knows you don't switch winning shirts. I wore the same Toomer jersey that I wore two weeks earlier.
I'm glad we could ruin your February.
Gotta go, there's this parade tomorrow... -
This is from the guy who roots for the team that we stomped out of the playoffs TWICE.
