I was rooting for NE, but the Giants played a better game for 4 quarters.
The offensive line could not protect Brady, 5 sacks and he felt the
pressure on just about every play.

What I did like to see is two very great teams play aggressive football
for 60 minutes. It really doesn't get any better.

Hey, you could have gone to dinner and a movie with Harry.

Eisboch,

Dinner and a movie and back in 30 minutes, that seems a little too
rushed for me, but then again, dinner with Harry might have seemed like
a lifetime.

I had dinner, a beer and one hell of a game. A group of us went up to
the local pub and had a great night. The only thing I missed was Paula
lackluster performance, but I did see in online.

Those Samsung Plasma TV's did look nice.

Did anyone else wonder if Brady should have gone for a field goal on that
4th down in the first half. I believe he threw an incomplete pass and the
Giants took over. After that play and the way the New York defence kept
getting at Brady, and Manning being relatively untouched, I had a feeling it
would turn out the way it did.
note: I only watched about 2/3rds of the game.

I took notice of that. But, who woulda thunk, that early in the game.
Too bad you watched only 2/3rds of the game. The last 6 minutes of the
forth quarter kept you on the edge of your seat, especially when even the
announcers were talking about how the Pats were only a minute or so away
from setting football history by going 19-0.

Yep, congrats to the Giants and their fans. The Giants played an
outstanding game, damit.

Nice thought but I probably would not have bet. Based on the game 4
weeks ago it seemed likely that the Giants would give a good account
of themselves, but frankly I wasn't at all sure they could win it.

It was really anybody's game up until the last play with seconds to
go.

Some of our friends here took the loss badly, don't know if money was
involved or just egos.

Oh my gosh - the sports radio station WEEI is suicidal - the callers
are suicidal. I'll bet half of them throw themselves off the Tobin
Bridge tonight. :)

Good lord - 18-1 season, we still have the best quarterback in
football who owns all but one record, the best coach in football who
has the best overall record of any coach in the NFL and been to the
Super Bowl game and in the playoffs more times in ten years than any
other team in the NFL.

I thought Grady Little not pulling Pedro Martinez was bad - this is
worse.

Jeezeum pete - get over it. It was a good game - could have gone
either way.

It's not like we're not going back again next year.
