They hardly dominated, they got the breaks that are the difference between winning and losing. A few bad bounces and tough breaks were the difference as with most close games. They deserve the championship but lets not get carried away.

Listen Sparky, the reason the Giants went to Jacobs on 4th and 1 is because he is as big as a lineman and tough to stop in a 1 yard situation even if you meet him at the line of scrimmage. That was not a break. I did not say the Giants dominated, but the reality is that the Giants physically outplayed the Patriots. I must disagree with you that the difference in the game was "breaks" that the Giants got. The Giants won because the game was played the only way the Giants could beat this team, low scoring, keeping the ball out of Tom Brady's hands as much as possible, harassing Brady when the Pats had the ball, which threw off his timing and forced him to throw the ball before he wanted to, which led to inaccurate passes, and also by using ball control with minimal turnovers. Even the Patriots are agreeing that the Giants were the better team Sunday, now can't you?
