NEW YORK f**kIN GIANTS!

Couldn't stop Brady...until it mattered most! Couldn't pressure him, until the game was on the line.
EliTE Manning did what he always does.

First 3 quarters were pretty drab with how slow and methodical things were, no defense at all...but 4th quarter was great and G men finally broke through. That pressure kept getting slowly closer and closer to pretty boy until he cracked.

Just awesome. I can't believe this sh*t, 9-7   on the verge of falling apart, but then pull their sh*t together and shut out the falcons. Beat the 15 and 1 packers, on the road, won a slugfest against the 13 and 3 niners, on the road. What a f**kin journey it's been.

Funny, I remember the last time the NY area started to seriously doubt Eli and Tom Coughlin



G men

I was having a heart attack when he was heaving the ball and not killing clock, but damn Coughlin has some balls.
Left it up to the defense....can't say I would've done the same
And Bradshaw!!! He almost took the knee but then just slowly tumbled into the endzone. No idea what was going on there.

I actually had 1000% faith in Eli, he's earned my complete faith especially after this year. I was wondering if the defensive run was gunna end, and for 3 quarters I was afraid I was right! But man you could feel the defense getting closer, they just kept edging near Brady more frequently and getting closer until it finally broke.
Defense DOES win championships! Especially when you hit full stride in the 4th quarter!

And yeah man, I feel so great for Eli. I've always liked him (even though at times even I had to facepalm) and he took soooo much flak. Even a bit into this very season I knew Giants fans that wanted him out! I get other people hating him, but I hope Giant doubters knock it off. Literally, there's not much more he can do after this

Well of course he should have! That's what I said (well OK I implied it sorry for being not to forthright) but yeah I have NO clue what that was. He obviously wanted to take the knee but didn't/couldn't? We need to hear what he was thinking.
Besides the Giants trust their defense. Even with the game in the hands of Tom Brady, an area where he ALWAYS wins, they trusted their defense!

Unlike the Pats who let Bradshaw run in, give up the points and try to comeback. They COULD have tried to stop him, you risk leaving yourself no time but if you kept the Giants out you'd win right there. No faith in their D and rightfully so.
Risks man, you gotta take em and the G men just came out on top.

MoM beat me to it but yeah time doesn't run on a 2 pt conversion. Which is for the best, because a team would do just what you said and kill any chance of a comeback: drop Eli back 10 yards, pitch it to Bradshaw who runs circles for the final 7 seconds

can someone please tell me who teams are in the finale,  (yes i play the ignorant european who don't know a thing of NFL) 

That half time show WAS appalling. I was expecting it to be terrible and still I was shocked!
What a sad, sad painful display that was.

I do love how it also degenerated into "im so awesome" by the end. She's a 50+ year old pop singer, but had some current rapper thing going on...with the whole show literally revolving around her. Giant gold M's, and back up singers throwing out "Madonna" in the chorus. Why didn't she bust out "this is why I'm hot"?

Also deep stonie is fail at being deep

Related to the thread: Players that have won the Super Bowl MVP multiple times:
Bart Starr, Terry Bradshaw, Joe Montana, Tom Brady, Eli Manning.
Hall of Fame, Hall of Fame, Hall of Fame, going to be a hall of famer, Eli?


Also cool to hear talk of Coughlin and the HoF. No idea, but just cool to hear. That guy took a lot of sh*t, glad to see him victorious again.
