The official 2007-08 NFL thread

I hate to say it but the Patriots really needed John Kitna as their quarterback today.  Kitna is really use to picking himself up off the turf.  Brady didn't seem to know what to do with defensive linemen breathing down his throat.  I am not sure if he has ever had that happen to him before.  Definitely my congratulations go out to the New York Giants and their fans.  I was pretty sure that the Giants would easily beat the spread but until that last Brady incompletion I really figured that the Patriots would do what they do best and win at the end.  Good game.  Great finish. 

It could work, but a lot of people (myself included) already use that nickname to describe the team as a whole.  The D-line themselves need a nickname, like the Crunch Bunch did.  

Don't forget Fred Robbins, he's a monster in the middle. 

I'm still in shock about getting 5 straight awesome performances out of Eli.  Circa week 12, I was talking about needing a new QB.  I'm not feeling that way anymore.  

In the offseason, I couldn't believe that they rehired Coughlin; he didn't seem to have any respect from the players, and you can't win that way.  But somehow he's turned it around and now he's holding a Lombardi Trophy. 

With a new Coughlin, a new Eli, and a new secondary, I'm feeling really good about next year. 

Anyway, I'm going to bed.

C'mon. I know you're happy and a lot of people are glad to see the Patriots lose (any Dolphins fans out there?), but was this tirade necessary? I'm not a huge Bellichek or Moss fan, but this was over the line.

Enjoy the win, but please save this for you and your buddies.

I don't know if it was over confidence. That defense hit Brady so many times that I think it threw him off. I don't care who you are, but if you get smacked that many times, then it's going to go through your head every time you drop back. The Patriots didn't  have a running game, so that meant the Giants could really go after Brady.

Your right Jody.
As happy as I was to see Eli really step up Amani Toomer and Michael Strahan REALLY deserved this win.
2 lifelong Giants and 1 definite hall of famer. Congrats guys.

Well, guess there's not much to do now......

Yea he got a lot of flak for that. Especially for saying they'd hold the Pats to 17. Guess he deserved the criticism, since they held them only 14.
Now that the excitement is slowly wearing off I don't know how I can wait until next year...
