Best Super Bowl in a long time.

My theory is that the Pats fell victim to their own press, and
possibly didn't realize until too late in the game that they wouldn't
be able to sleep walk through four quarters and automatically go home
with the title.

I adamantly disagree.
The Patriots were damn lucky to win against the Giants in the regular
season game and they knew EXACTLY what they were up against. Last
night the Giants simply executed better and had a better game plan.

Example- last couple of minutes of the game. 4-5 Pats have hold of
some part or another of Eli Manning. It looks like lights out for the
Giants. Suddenly Manning (not a great big guy by NFL standards) just
simply wiggles free and can complete a play for a decent gain.

Reminded me of his Daddy ;-)
Archie did exactly that on almost every down of his career with the
Saints lol!
