Yeah, that was a good game. I was rooting for NY and thought they had a chance going into it. Particularly if Eli doesn't fold and throw a pick in the 4th qtr, which he didn't. I thought they had lost it when he scrambled and somehow got out of there, then threw the completion that the receiver somehow managed to catch...

Regardless of who you were rooting for I don't think that was a good game. Two mostly inept offenses, one very inept offensive line, one lucky quarterback. The Giants definitely deserved to win, but it wasn't by virtue of playing particularly well in all phases of the game or anything like that. This really was one of those games that hinged on a single play. What a friggen waste of 4 hrs.

agreed. not sure why everyone says it was that good of a game, i may have enjoyed it mostly because i was hammered out of my mind last night after one too many shots, but i found the game to be rather dull.

I guess we'll just have to disagree on that. The Giants looked somewhat inept on offense (blown routes, Eli focusing on certain receivers too much and missing others wide open). The Giants defense and pass rush however had far more to do with the Pats offense looking inept. When they didn't get to Brady, he was hitting things pretty well.

I just like to see Super Bowls that aren't the over-hyped blow out that often occurs.

the patriots got lucky a few times throughout the season, yet they had a perfect record until the superbowl. That's what people talked about when they considered them a 2 digit favorite for the big game. A win is a win... No one talks about, or complains about the quality of a win, they just recognize it as such. The quality of play was fine, Eli played well enough to win, and the giants defense enabed him. Tom Brady doesn't look so amazing when he is getting sacked all over the place does he??? Yet he is still Tom Brady, big deal. I'd take eli over him any day if he got the job done. The giants didn't have even have all their best players out there, where was jeramy shockey? Doesn't mean anything, job was done ;).

The under dogs came, they listened to all the bullshit people had to say, and they answered back with a win. They remained humble too, not so much to say from people like Tom Brady refusing to shake eli's hand, or the boston media already printing and, and selling their success story like it was in the books 2 weeks ago. The patriots deserve every bit of this rubbed in their face, I hope those apples taste good ;) haha.

This is why the rest of the world doesn't give a shit about boston/new york rivalries.

The rest of the world? You mean alaska right? I'll take your word on it, since no one gives a shit about the superbowl where your from and that qualifies you to an opinion on this topic.

I'm in pennsylvania, and by the rest of the world, I mean everyone that isn't from ny and boston.

True, I guess your not the only guy in that area that gets angry about the superbowl, especially when the Eagles aren't in it. You caught the superbowl on tv by any chance? There are actually giants fans, and patriots fans that go to the super bowl in arizona. Go figure?

No anger with the superbowl. Not an eagles fan. I don't expect you to get why no one except boston and ny fans give a shit about a dull ass game involving boston and ny.

I'm a Patriots fan, and I watched it with a good friend of mine who's been a Giants fan for life. Both of us thought the game was complete shit. The only dominant unit was the Giants D-line. Other than that, there wasn't much to speak of. No offense until the final 2 drives, then neither D could stop anything. How is that a good game?

As for rivalries, fans getting bent out of shape one way or another, or any of the other drama? :yawn: People need to grow up... It's a bunch of grown men playing a children's game. Is it entertaining? Yes. Do I understand why it causes grown fans to act like children, either as poor losers or poor winners? Nope, not at all.

Grawk,

Oh believe me, i get what your saying, but I still think your a jackass and only jumped in to say something at my expense. Your arrogant enough to think your opinion mattered, so I just threw in the eagles comment since you're probably too stupid to realize they have a big rivalry with the giants as well, and they are some of the most angry sports fans on earth. That was regarding your no one cares outside of NY comment. Everyone cared, and the patriots had a perfect season on the line. Yet according to you no ones cares...

I respect the patriots, and I am a jets fan btw. I'm not angry about any rivalary, but I think it's fun regardless. The drama adds to all of this and I think makes it fun. I have no anger towards patriots fans or anything, I sat opening day and watched them crush the jets in person, I still had fun. No one is acting like a child unless they actually get upset or act out on this kinds of stuff. I was at a mets phillies game and stood watching fans brawling left and right, phillies fans came in acting like they owned the place and it was total mayhem. They were even chanting about the eagles in the bathroom, it was kind of funny at first then shit got out of hand and security was hawling off on people were getting hurt. Most disgraceful thing I ever saw...

Anyway Say what you want about the Giants offense, but I think Eli did a great job. Football games aren't all about offense, but the patriots had the best in the league for sure. The giants keeping them off the board is an accomplishment, and a landslide either way to me is a boring game because that means the defense isn't doing their job. Patriots had a few good drives so I don't get why your saying he did nothing...

Reread all your posts and tell me again which of us is acting like an arrogant jackass?

well said, i think the defensive game is far more interesting than an offensive onslaught
