Not letting Dorsey Levens have the rock when he was knifing through the Denver defense. Breakdowns all over the place. And a 14 point favorite loses the super bowl to old man Elway. Disgusting.
Yea, Shannahan and his staff really owned Holmgren in that Super Bowl.
As for McCarthy getting lucky to get into the playoffs when the Packers won it all because the Giants lost to Philly, those same Giants were then lucky to win it all last year given they barely even made it into the playoffs with just a 9-7 record. Any number of wins by other teams during the season would have left the Giants watching the playoffs last year instead of gaining the last Wild Card berth. This happens nearly every year. Hell, in 2007 the Giants also just barely made the playoffs, before eventually beating New England in the Super Bowl.
