that was pure Belechek arrogance

maybe the Giants force you into those 8 yard slants..that's all GB could do and Dallas either

NE O-Line was very bad...never seen Brady hit that hard..Giselle will have her work cut out for her

The Giants D-line really is good
so the Pats having problems was not
a total suprise. Brady did get smacked
harder this game than all year long.

Really the Giants marched down the field
with a few big plays interspersed that last drive.
The Giants
played better and I thought deserved to win.

The pats did miss a few int. but the Giants did too.

The Giants were far more fortunate tha NE in close or lucky plays. The ball the NE guy fell on when the Giants were on there own 15 was unbelievably lucky. If NE gets the ball on the 15 and goes up 14-3, a whole different ball game. On the last drive alone the were a few plays that went the Giants way. I am not knocking them, they were a deserving champion, unlike the BCS which would have had NE vs Dallas and poor Mercury Morris would be crying right now.

Plaxico faked the NE defender out big time for the TD catch.

Just an awesome game by the Giants. I just kept waiting for the wheels to come off the bus and they never did. You have to think that the Pats thought that they would just turn it on when they need to and they almost did. Eli was awesome, and well worth the draft picks they gave up for him. He is the franchise QB and helped them reach the promise land. Unbelievable effort from the whole team, including guys like Smith and Tyree who is like their 5th reciever. What an unbelievable catch. Even Jacobs converting on 4th down. Unbelievable job by the coaching staff ( really hope that they don't lose Spags, but they will like they lost John Fox).
One thing that bothered me, I have always like Belichek because of his Giants roots. But I thought that it was a real classless move leaving the field during that whole last second fiasco.
As great as the win in SB 25 was this one is twice as sweet. I can't wait to get me a 18-1 Tee Shirt tomorrow. How bout them Giants!

Oh Yeah, where is Mr. Barber?

Are you serious? The Giants thoroughly outplayed the Patriots tonight. They did not need any breaks, they made their breaks. The blueprint for winning this game started from the first drive. The Patriots offense found it tough all night getting down the field. Most teams that only got 3 in thier first 3 tries in the red zone would have quit. Give credit where credit is due, the Giants outplayed the Patriots and deserve to be World Champions.

Listen Homer if it wasnt for for Jacobs being tall and falling for the first down on 4th and 1, Eli snaking his way out of the clutches of 2 lineman and Tyree making a once in a lifetime catch, we would be talking about how resilient NE was to overcome playing poorly to win. 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?
