 Posted: 2/4/2008, 11:29 am Post subject: Thoughts on Super Bowl XLII? |
 |
|
Well, what did everyone think about the Super Bowl?
I enjoyed the game, although it was a low scoring affair. I really didn't think that the Giants would win. I thought the D was good enough, but I figured Eli to cave in after having so many good weeks in a row. When the tipped ball got picked off, I figured that it was time to pack it in. But hey, I was wrong, and I can admit that!  Unfortunately, it cost me a win in the playoff pool, and I have to settle for a tie with that Patrick fellow   . (Nothin' but luv for ya, Patrick!)
What are your thoughts on the game? Will Moss get a shot next year? Will he ever get a ring?

I also enjoyed the game despite the low score. I think Eli's scramble to escape Jarvis Green and Richard Seymour was amazing, then to loft that ball up and have Tyree come down with it the way he did. Just wow.
Much credit has to be given to the Giants' front four on defense. They applied enough pressure on Brady that even when they weren't sacking him Brady was clearly uncomfortable. Makes you really wonder how hurt Brady's ankle was though, he seemed awfully stiff in the pocket last night without any of the usual scrambling.
Not to take anything away from the Giants, because they deserve their moment in the spotlight, but honestly the game should have been over when Asante Samuel let that interception slip right through his fingers near the sideline. The Pats had opportunities in this game (although not too many), they just couldn't capitalize the way they usually do.

Two plays killed me to watch... 1. Asante missing the easy pick. 2. Eli slipping through 2 or 3 different Patriots' players and getting that pass off to Tyree. Amazing catch, but if Eli had been sacked the game was basically over.
Great end to the game, but I'm still going to try and pretend that it never happened.

that play was just amazing with eli/tyree.. im still in shock about it, i'd say easily top 5 super bowl play in history, just because it involved two parts. Getting away from the sack to make a throw AND an amazing catch.

great ending for a good game, although me and many others during our super-bowl party thought the game was pretty boring since the score was stuck at 7-3 pats for 3 quarters of the game but like i said amazing ending to the game

I was so pumped up theat the Giants won. It was a great game. How the lead changed hands multiple times towards the end. Tyree had a great catch but Eli, the second best Manning  , had a terrific game. You gotta give credit to both team.
The giants gave it there all and it payed off but you still have to admit that the Patriots had an unfortunately good run

Well, while i'm not a Patriots fan I was cheering for them.
I thought the Giants front 4 played amazing. They hit and pressured Brady all game. While the offense played good enough to win, the defense played well enough to dominate. .
Kudos to the giants.
