This pretty much sums up what I could put into the right words before. Agreed.

They need to go back to videotaping signals.

On the long pass to midfield, it was close to a perfect pass by Eli. I'm not sure how he could have thrown it much better. A very good catch, and a very good pass.

I believe the Tyree catch was on third down so there's no reason to believe they would have lost had he not made the catch. People find excuses to hate teams, so I shouldn't be surprised about this comment.

Also, why should the Giants have lost this game? They flat out played better than the Patriots, and drove down field for the winning score because the soft Patriots D couldn't stop them.

They have no one to blame but BB for not adressing the defens..and cutting players like merriweather and sanders...and not drafting defense.

I think our defense would have had a very good day against them, but lets be honest here JPP and others would have eaten our O-Line alive. I think the Giants win in 7 out of 10 times against the ravens.

Hey Shqipe!

I wanted the Ravens to beat the Patriots. I wanted revenge from the 2000 Super Bowl, back when I was in the third grade. :lol:

As a Giant's fan, i'm of course happy my team won the Superbowl and glad we beat Tom Brady and the patriots again, but that shot of Robert Kraft was heart-breaking.

Man is a stand up guy who has done so much for his franchise and for the league, a class act. NBC shouldn't have shown Kraft like that.

Yeah, Bob Kraft has been through a rough year. Granted his team had a great season and he was a big part of resolving the lockout, but the guy lost his wife and watched his team come close to another championship.
