Yes. A team that had gone 18-0 and were almost a two touchdown favorite could not beat a team that was 13-6 on the season. The expectations for the Patriots were miles higher than what was expected of the Mets. Though I'm sure the Patriot apologists will be out tomorrow making excuses for why the team couldn't win...monkeyhead wrote:2007-08 Pats choke > 2007 Mets choke???

It is arguable. They ran into a Giants team that was on a roll.Roody wrote:Pats blew their shot to be considered the best ever. You can't lose your last game though to be considered the best.

Given the amout of time he had to throw.....really he should have done better. Still he hit his mark on some very important plays. He was also lucky he wasn't intercepted more. There were some dumb throws.monkeyhead wrote:2007-08 Pats choke > 2007 Mets choke???
Excellent Game though
Eli has shown hes got some game now and took the monkey off his back
My personal opinion is that the Giants defense won that game. Keeping Brady in the turf all night long and it was a very rare moment when he did have enough time to scout the field.
Hell of a great game.

yeah lucky for sure.. lucky to get as far as they did.Gixxer wrote:"lucky" .. i dont think so
Yeah it was clearly domination regardless of the Giants won by a single point..the Giants were spanking NE up and down that field last night.YARDofSTUF wrote:Really, looking at the score I see a close game, not domination.
You must have been paying a bit more attention to the commericals than the game if you don't think so.
I think you dominated a little too much moonshine last night.Sava700 wrote:yeah lucky for sure.. lucky to get as far as they did.

I didnt watch the game but looking at the score chart it was a close game, but as always when theres a team you like or dislike playing you exagerate the results.Sava700 wrote:Yeah it was clearly domination regardless of the Giants won by a single point..the Giants were spanking NE up and down that field last night.

The Giants defense manhandled Tom Brady. As an article I read stated, he was the human grass stain, with the amount of time he was on the groundYARDofSTUF wrote:I didnt watch the game but looking at the score chart it was a close game, but as always when theres a team you like or dislike playing you exagerate the results.

3-0, 3-7, 3-7, 17-14. Thats not domination.Sava700 wrote:![]()
I don't care about either team.. I watched the game to have fun with some friends but I had to pull for one of them so I pulled for the Giants to win as the underdog...the results were a score difference of a few points.. but play by play the Giants Dominated the game.

For me to see a domination the stats need to refelct that and the final score should so signs of it. Obviously the Giants had a great game regardless.Indy wrote:The Giants defense manhandled Tom Brady.

Given the talent on the Patriots team, for them to only score 14 points means the Giants absolutely dominated them.

Toss in the Pittsburgh Steelers during their 70's dynasty and the '85 Bears.
