Removing the game from its context to judge it is a preposterous thing to do. Of course it was made all the better because of what was at stake, and I would argue that very thing made the entire game thrilling, edge-of-your-seat entertainment. Every time the Giant pass-rush ripped through the line and planted Brady, I was thrilled. Every time Belichick's ridonkulous ego got the best of him, I was hooked. Every single call felt important, every play felt potentially game-breaking. You knew in the back of your mind if the Pats got up 14-3 at any point in that game, it was probably over. And that made every possession life and death throughout the entire second and third quarter. The back-and-forth of the fourth quarter only sealed the deal, and it was all capped with stunning plays. I think the fact that you could see the desperation in the Giants defense, and you could literally see them exhausting in front of you made kind of made things transcend to a higher level.

Eh, with Pittsburgh "Ben" was severly banged up/injured and they had to adjust to losing Cowher and that The Bus running back guy(actually forgot his real name, lol). Giants won't have to deal with those things.

The Chargers?

The Chargers?

Being bias is the worst thing you can do in judging a game. If I wanted to be bias, I would say that Cowboys v. Steelers in Superbowl XXX was the greatest SB ever because I was happy throughout because my team fucking won.

I've been a non-bias viewer of SB for this entire decade because I have either liked both teams (such as last year with the Colts/Bears) or hated them (such as this year). And honestly, I got bored during the game this year. It was close, but it was just boring. It just became way too reptitive. The last ten minutes changed a lot, but up until then, it was really not that exciting.

That's because - Say it with me.

"They're the Chargers."

Well I think you're probably pretty alone in that then... I personally don't like watching football at all, and I had a great time with this game, it just... kicked ass.

That's because - Say it with me.

"They're the Chargers."

That's the same thing people said about the Giants.

Hell, I don't even think this was the best game of the season. Pats-Indy or Pats-Ravens were better. Those were games where you had a variety mix of great offense and defense (and some special teams) coming from both teams consistently throughout the game. And I actually hated the outcome of both those games as the teams I wanted to win didn't win. In this, I really was apathetic on who won.

A couple of big differences though. The Giants weren't a bunch of loud mouth schmucks and were just focused on winning. Their defense was also much, much better, and not just against the Patriots.



I have to agree here. The last 10 minutes make the game legendary, there's not doubting that. But, the game overall wasn't very well played. The first 50 minutes were simply awful. Both teams couldn't do anything with the football. At least the game moved quickly though.

Some people will say I am biased with two of these three, but Rams/Titans, Patriots/Rams and Patriots/Panthers were easily much Super Bowl's. All three of those games were like watching a boxing match just waiting for the other team to drop with the next punch. This game was like watching a boxing match where both boxers just dance around for most of the fight. A couple of jabs are then thrown before a big one lands.

Hats off to the Giabtrs but the mvp wasnt Eli it was Matt light with his 2 drive destroying false starts; hell why not the whole offensie line?

Horrible pass pritection, oh my god horrendous run blocking maroney was getting swarmed before he crossed the line...

That's why the Pats are disliked as well. The whole "we can only beat ourselves"-attitude. The Giants won it, it wasn't handed to them. You could make the same argument for Antonio Pierce being the MVP because of the Interference call if the Pats won.
The Giants DL dominated because they are fantastic. Giants should give Steve Spagnuolo a lifetime contract and make him the highest paid assistant coach. He's the single most reason the Giants came so far.
