GIANTS!!!!!

AMAZING

[JaoSming]

they deserved it, ill say that. I'll watch Eli's final drive over and over again, that 1 scramble play is going to live on and on.

[Lamrock]

Wow. What an upset. First Mavs/Warriors, now this. That's enough to warrant my first ever post here.

[manolo]

JaoSming, you are from New England...it must be a hell of a feeling, having a perfect regular season and now, everything fell apart.

[Elbeen]

I don't watch football but it certainly stings to lose having a perfect season.

What an upset.

[Gundy]

Amazing game. Eli's sack escape and completion was ridiculous.

[manolo]

Gundy, it is difficult to say, maybe a bit wierd to NE cause they almost catch him but awesome for Eli that escaped greatly.

[JaoSming]

I dont really like football but i really wanted to brag about Sox, Pats, and Celtics winning in 1 year.

[Drex]

It worked! Go Lakers!

[Jing]

People at Umass began to riot, but the police and riot/swat squads handled it pretty well. Handled it much better than the College football riots 2 years ago.

[Fitzy]

the last few minutes of the game were fantastic, i managed to get my lunch break to fit the end of the fourth in just great

Well, what a game. Eli's final drive...worthy of any top quarterback. Now him and his brother Peyton are on level ground at least in one category.

I'm still waiting for Sauru's take on this.

[The X]

so anyone here betting against the pats?

Yep, I had $3 on Giants to win, $1 on Eli Manning to win MVP & $1 on Giants to score first with a FG....I won $28 from those bets

not that I like the Giants, I just thought they'd get up....they were a bit more battle hardened IMHO....

no surprise the Pats going down though....

Amazing game. Eli's sack escape and completion was ridiculous.

agreed...

i was really hopin Tom would make it happen, but his O-line played horrible and the Pats's D sucked on that last Giants drive...

[iG®]

Congrats to the Giants, well deserved win. And I can't not to mention Eli's play last night. He really surprised me with some plays.

[Drex]

Giants' D was awesome. I've never seen Brady look so lost in a game before. And Eli's escape and catch is a play that we will see in every SuperBowl recap.

[Sauru]

this was the worst fucking game i have ever seen in my life. they could have put a bunch of 5th graders on the field and they would have provided better protection for brady. then the defense has eli sacked, its done, over, and they fucking let him go, he throws up some bullshit pass and the man makes an amazing catch. unreal. the worst thing about this superbowl is it is something i will hear about til the day i die or the nfl ends(whatever is first). every fucking year i am going to have to relive this game, the pain that filled(and still fills) my heart over such a shit ass game. my wife threatened to take the kids and leave if i didnt calm down, i guess i take the pats a bit too seriously.

in the end the pats had a chance to be considered the greatest team ever, now imo they are turning into the new buffalo bills after last years lose to the colts and this years pathetic superbowl performance

[Skills]

Wow. AMAZING GAME! To say the least..
4th quarter was the best. Eli's sack escape got me jaw-dropped for a while..
The wildcard team winning the Superbowl. Congrats to them!
I feel bad for the Pats though, history down the drain..

[Sauru]

nope, history aint down the drain, win or lose the pats were gonna make history, unfortunatly they just made the wrong kind of history

[air gordon]

no surprise the Pats going down though....

ha! are you kidding me! talk about revisionist historian

i wasn't sure who i was rooting for in the game. on one side- i wanted to see history happen- a perfect season. probably something that will happen once in a lifetime. plus i was tired of those damn 72 dolphins.

though i'm always rooting for the underdog (it does payout better hehe)

great finish to a great game. i thought every time NE had the ball they were going to score. and i thought NYG was demoralized after Brady led the Pats for the "go ahead" TD late in the 4th

too bad football is over for a long time

[Indy]

I want to see a clip of all the awful over/underthrows Brady had on that game. It was so funny seeing Randy Moss' face after some of them. He didn't know Tom had it in him to choke so badly. I know he was under pressure all game, but some of the deep throws he made were just terrible. No matter how much you want to place this game on the O-Line, and they do deserve a lot of credit for the loss, Brady choked and didn't make the throws he had to all game.

ha! are you kidding me! talk about revisionist historian

I am being serious....the amounts of close games that Pats had been through & just scraped victories (eg. Ravens' game) was eventually going to catch up with them....the Giants also proved to be a hard team to beat....there is no doubting that Pats had a lot more talent, but Giants outworked them to give themselves a chance....yes, I was shocked Giants won in fashion they did, but no, I wasn't shocked they won....I wouldn't have put multiple bets on them (low stakes, but still) unless I thought they had a chance of winning....I had also backed the Giants in Dallas & in Green Bay when nobody gave them a chance....anything can happen in one-off games....it's not like NBA where a dominant team should not lose in a 7 game series....it's just one game....

so no, not a huge surprise, only by Eli's drive in last 2 minutes

[benji]

the amounts of close games that Pats had been through & just scraped victories (eg. Ravens' game) was eventually going to catch up with them....

Four games under ten points? Average regular season victory difference of 20 points? Larger total point differential than eleven teams total points for?

sorry, I meant to say that in the close games they had played (Colts, Eagles, Ravens & Giants), they had stepped up & sometimes had a little bit of luck (Ravens' game)....it doesn't surprise me that they lost the big one....in a one-off game, you can throw the record book out....

an upset is called an upset because it was a surprising win lol

yeh yeh it's one game and obviously anything can happen/and no one was giving them a chance. it's just so easy to say there wasn't a surprise after the fact that it happens. should have put your money where your mouth is instead of laying that chicken shit bet hehe.

i put a few c-notes on the under and the spread. i didn't expect to hit both but i said, "fuck it, why not? last football game of the year and i hate betting on baseball and basketball". and i'm not going to say "oh yeh- i called it"... other wise i would have been sitting pretty with $3700(like my gambling addict friend) instead of the few c-notes i won

i personally i don't think those scrappy "wins" had nothing to with them losing the superbowl. all credit goes to NYG, especially their D-line play

exactly what kind of victory by the Giants wouldn't have shocked you btw??
