Well, 28 on the D, 7 on the KO team. Still wasn't enough. I've said it before I'll say it again. The only way to beat the Patriots is a blowout. If they're within 3 scores with half a quarter left, they win.
The Giants' offense, particularly their pass offense, has been a bunch of underachievers all year. Last night, they played to (and maybe a bit beyond) their potential.
Its really hilarious actually. had the Pats rolled last night, the critics would've said "meaningless game, blah blah blah." The Giants showed guts and pride and made it close, and now the naysayers think that means the Pats are weak. IMO, last night's game makes them look like a tougher team than if they'd won 38-3. Because in reality, it was nowhere near a must win game for them. Some people may think shutting up Mercury Morris and Don Shula is more important than winning the next 3 games. Nobody on the Pats does. They know winning last night was nice, but winning their fourth Super Bowl is the only thing that matters.
NEXT!!!
