The Official Superbowl XLII Thread!!

[Galaril]

4 actually, if you count the anthology in 2000.

4? I think not including the anthology it is 2.;)

[SirFozzie]

Wow. Belicheck is an evil genius yet again

[k0ruptr]

WHY OH WHY couldnt he have run over Richard Simmons

[sterlingice]

The Shaq commercial has been my favorite so far.

Me, too

SI

[Radii]

Interesting, clearly the right call but I wonder why you can challenge that penalty. Are there other penalties that are objective that you can challenge?

[k0ruptr]

Wow. Belicheck is an evil genius yet again

that is insane.

[k0ruptr]

Interesting, clearly the right call but I wonder why you can challenge that penalty. Are there other penalties that are objective that you can challenge?

My thoughts exactly.

[Racer]

I never thought that was challengable.

Colts do it all the time.

[Galaril]

Nice penalty. The NFL wants the Pats to win:)

[Suburban Rhythm]

Interesting, clearly the right call but I wonder why you can challenge that penalty. Are there other penalties that are objective that you can challenge?

That's exactly what I just said to my wife. Most penalties are judgement calls, can you review those? Immediately came to mind was a guy being forced out on punt coverage--illegal procedure if he fails to make an attempt to enter the field of play. Can I ask for a review if I think my guy made an honest effort?

[SirFozzie]

Referees also can use replay to assess penalties for 12 men on the field, the illegal touching of a pass, the illegal touching of a kick and passing the ball after crossing the line of scrimmage.

tyvm Fozzie

[SirFozzie]

No confidence in either the kicker or the punter.

[Huckleberry]

12 men on the field isn't a judgment call, just like the others that Fozzie posted. Either there are 12 on at the snap or there aren't.

It should be reviewable and I'm glad it is.

As it turns out it just cost the Giants time. They got the ball around 20 yards further upfield after the Pats didn't convert on 4th down.

[k0ruptr]

Has Moss caught a pass?

[Pumpy Tudors]

Has Moss caught a pass?
Yeah. I think just one, though.

[k0ruptr]

Yeah. I think just one, though.

I wonder if they should start going to him more, I know hes dbl covered but obviously they arn't moving the ball to well.

[jbergey22]

Anyone have any idea why the Pats didnt attempt the 49 yard FG instead of going for a 4th and 13?

[SirFozzie]

Anyone have any idea why the Pats didnt attempt the 49 yard FG instead of going for a 4th and 13?

No confidence he can hit from that far out

[Huckleberry]

Because their kicker already shanked a kickoff out of bounds?

I have always considered Gostkowski (sp?) pretty good. But Fozzie seems to think there's a lack of confidence there.

[k0ruptr]

Anyone have any idea why the Pats didnt attempt the 49 yard FG instead of going for a 4th and 13?

I would think in a dome he could nail it.

[SirFozzie]

Great defensive play

[Eaglesfan27]

How many times have they mentioned Feagles age or experience?

[k0ruptr]

this is a great super bowl so far.

[Eaglesfan27]

I would think in a dome he could nail it.

Nevermind :)

[k0ruptr]

Nevermind :)

lol

[Eaglesfan27]

lol

I've had a few drinks and I mis-read what you wrote.

[SnowMan]

Wow, Brady got nailed...

[SnowMan]

...in the head..isn't that a penalty?

[Suburban Rhythm]

How many times have they mentioned Feagles age or experience?

Be happy it isn't Chris Gardocki...or we'd hear every time that he hasn't had a punt blocked in 1,250,235,979 attempts

[k0ruptr]

I've had a few drinks and I mis-read what you wrote.

its ok I've had more then afew.

[Schmidty]

Come on Giants. Beat these fuckers.

I want SirFozzie to punch another tree. ;)

[SirFozzie]

every time Brady looks like he's getting into a rythym... *shakes head*

[SirFozzie]

Come on Giants. Beat these fuckers.

I want SirFozzie to punch another tree. ;)

Nah, I've moved up to punching you should they lose, Shitty, er Schmidty :D

(all in good fun)

[SirFozzie]

4th quarter already?

[molson]

I think you're in good shape if you bet the under.

[Huckleberry]

Scoreless quarters = double Super Bowl Pool winners = lots of happy people

[k0ruptr]

I want the pats to lose, but maybe there just keeping it close to keep the ratings.

[Buccaneer]

Amazing. We saw flashes of the Pats typical brilliance but not enough to sustain a drive.

[sterlingice]

They just don't seem to be able to keep it together. I'm not sure what it is. I'm sure a lot of people will be saying it's the team on the other side of the field, but I think this really is a case of the pressure getting to them.

SI

[k0ruptr]

Its amazing that since the first 2 offensive drives, there have been no scores. FANTASTIC!

[k0ruptr]

They just don't seem to be able to keep it together. I'm not sure what it is. I'm sure a lot of people will be saying it's the team on the other side of the field, but I think this really is a case of the pressure getting to them.

SI

maybe, but it seems like they have way too much experience to let the pressure get to them.

[Noop]

Big play.

[Suburban Rhythm]

Scoreless quarters = double Super Bowl Pool winners = lots of happy people

If NE had been able to get a FG at the end of the half, I'd be looking at $400. As it is, $100.

Our payout is:

$100 for 1st and 3rd Qtrs
$200 for Half
$500 for Final
$100 for Reverse Final

But I am happy with my $100 I guess. All year I had like 8 and 6 and other assorted bullshit. My 0-3 are finally some realistic numbers.

[sterlingice]

wow

SI

[molson]

Looks like an incredible finish.

Giants have come to play.

[SnowMan]

That Bradshaw sure runs hard for a relatively little guy.

[Eaglesfan27]

Eli!

[Eaglesfan27]

I want the pats to lose, but maybe there just keeping it close to keep the ratings.

I'm sure the Pats are worried about the TV ratings.

[Racer]

Touchdown!

[k0ruptr]

Giants looking good postseason.

[Noop]

I am sure New England will answer. That being said great drive by the Giants.

[Karlifornia]

Here we go, baby! Perfection on the line...11 minutes left. Great Super Bowl....I can't ask for much more, besides the Niners being involved.

[Schmidty]

Nice.

Bring it home Giants.

[JonInMiddleGA]

Nice job by Coke on the Carville/Frist spot. Short shelf life for it, but beautiful timing.

[SnowMan]

Giants D just had to do what it's done the whole game. (Except maybe that first drive)

[k0ruptr]

Nice job by Coke on the Carville/Frist spot. Short shelf life for it, but beautiful timing.

yea that was awesome.

[Mustang]

Why do I have a feeling it will be 13-7 with under 2 minutes left, Patriots ball and they score with 2 seconds left and win 14-13...

[k0ruptr]

Why do I have a feeling it will be 13-7 with under 2 minutes left, Patriots ball and they score with 2 seconds left and win 14-13...
nah pats will get FG soon, and then hit a FG to win like always

[Jas_lov]

This has been a great game. The Patriots perfect season and place in history as the greatest team of all time is at stake. They must win this game or they will go down as the biggest Superbowl failure ever. I think they'll come back and win like they always have, but the Giants defense has been spectacular all game.

[k0ruptr]

If the Giants win there will be 31 Happy NFL teams, if the Pats win there will be 1 Happy NFL team. lol

[SirFozzie]

The Giants are doing what no team did before now. Get tons of pressure on Brady.

[k0ruptr]

Maybe Brady drank too much last nite.

[SnowMan]

Talking babies. Still creepy

[Racer]

Why do I have a feeling it will be 13-7 with under 2 minutes left, Patriots ball and they score with 2 seconds left and win 14-13...

I got that feeling too. As a Colts fan though I hope my feeling is wrong.

[k0ruptr]

the gatorade commercial has to be one of the cheapest superbowl commercials ever made.

[Karlifornia]

Big stop by the Patriots...

[DaddyTorgo]

kudos to the Giants defense though. Their offense has certainly not been anything to write home about, but the defense has managed to get good pressure on Brady all night long.

If the Giants manage to win they will certainly have deserved it, and I'm not going to be a sore-loser.

[k0ruptr]

hey I am rooting for the giants and all, but if they do pull this out. I mean are we really going to consider them the best team in the nfl this season or just they won the superbowl but they werent the best team.

[Schmidty]

What a shitty, boring announce team. Troy Aikman is putting me to sleep and the crappy play by play dude is comatose.

[DaddyTorgo]

hey I am rooting for the giants and all, but if they do pull this out. I mean are we really going to consider them the best team in the nfl this season or just they won the superbowl but they werent the best team.

I think that will likely depend on who you ask hmm?

[Huckleberry]

No, the Giants won't be the best team from this season. But they'll be the champions so I doubt they'll care.

[sterlingice]

What a shitty, boring announce team. Troy Aikman is putting me to sleep and the crappy play by play dude is comatose.

Play by play, of course, is none other than "I got a job because of my dad" Joe Buck.

SI

[DaddyTorgo]

looks like somebody finally woke up the Patriots O-line and they're picking up the pressure on this drive.

[SnowMan]

I'd rather be Super Bowl champs than lose and be the 'best team.'

[Radii]

hey I am rooting for the giants and all, but if they do pull this out. I mean are we really going to consider them the best team in the nfl this season or just they won the superbowl but they werent the best team.

if they win they'll have beaten Dallas and Green Bay on the road and New England on a neutral field. You won't hear me saying "yeah, but..." about their season.

(I still expect the Pats to win too heh).

[k0ruptr]

Ok that brings me to another question, if the Pats pull it out now, are they the best team in history?

[Karlifornia]

If New England wins..get ready for MVP Wes Welker...

[Noop]

Ok that brings me to another question, if the Pats pull it out now, are they the best team in history?

Yes.

[k0ruptr]

If New England wins..get ready for MVP Wes Welker...

+1

[DaddyTorgo]

oh man, if faulk doesn't slip there...

[SnowMan]

looks like somebody finally woke up the Patriots O-line and they're picking up the pressure on this drive.That's been the difference, for sure.

[Icy]

If New England wins..get ready for MVP Wes Welker...

The Giants deserve the win today and i'm loving their defense, but if i want the Pats to win is only because Welker. I loved him in Miami and i want to see him wearing a ring as he really deserves it.

[k0ruptr]

well its lookin like NE can't be stopped now lol

[Noop]

Well if the Giants have to drive the entire field for a score then I doubt they win this game. At best they need to hold New England to a field goal.

[molson]

If New England wins..get ready for MVP Wes Welker...

I don't know if they mentioned this on TV, but he's tied the Super Bowl record for receptions.

[k0ruptr]

in case the G-men pull this out, who gets mvp?

[molson]

I don't know if they mentioned this on TV, but he's tied the Super Bowl record for receptions.

And he just set the new record, with 12 receptions. My bad - that was incomplete.

[Huckleberry]

Eli Manning because nobody else has really stood out and he's the quarterback.

[SirFozzie]

shades of Bruschi from the RCA Dome. Giants players hurting, giving their defense a breath

[SnowMan]

Their D-coordinator? (Giants mvp)

[Huckleberry]

And he just set the new record, with 12 receptions.

On the incompletion? He really is incredible. :D

[Eaglesfan27]

well its lookin like NE can't be stopped now lol


I'm not so sure about that. I think the Giants are about to pull off the defensive stop here.

[sterlingice]

in case the G-men pull this out, who gets mvp?

I've been trying to figure this out for the past half quarter and I have no idea

SI

[DaddyTorgo]

WIDE OPEN RANDY MOSS!!!

TD!!!!!

[SnowMan]

Sucks when your cover guy falls over. Good drive by the Pats there.

[molson]

On the incompletion? He really is incredible. :D

I'm very drunk.

(Maybe you should just PM me with the game outcome)

[Noop]

Thats game.

[Eaglesfan27]

Their D-coordinator? (Giants mvp)

It is really hard to come up with 1 player. It's been a collective effort of the unit.

Ouch, hurts when a guy falls down and leaves Moss open like that.

[Karlifornia]

Touchdown Patriots....now Eli Manning can shut all the naysayers up with an ultimate Super Bowl-winning drive.

[Noop]

shades of Bruschi from the RCA Dome. Giants players hurting, giving their defense a breath

:rolleyes:

[SirFozzie]

Let's see if Eli can channel last year's Peyton

[DaddyTorgo]

did corey webster fall on his ass or something? he wasn't even in the picture there...

I can't see seau + bruschi letting the g-men drive down for a td here

[molson]

I can't see seau + bruschi letting the g-men drive down for a td here

Me too.....hoping for an early pick. But the game's not over.

[SirFozzie]

Patriot Missle!

[SnowMan]

did corey webster fall on his ass or something? he wasn't even in the picture there...

I can't see seau + bruschi letting the g-men drive down for a td here
Maybe one of the nine other guys out there might.

[Eaglesfan27]

Time for Eli to prove that he has become a top 10 QB ;)

[SirFozzie]

For once Harrison decided not to go for the hit and just played the ball

[Icy]

Are the Giants using the FOF end of game strategies? just throwing deep all the time in the last two minutes when they could move the ball slower.

[Schmidty]

That sucks.

[SnowMan]

Did we just go from Adriana Lima (rawr) to some guy putting jumper cables on his nipples? I'm in shock...

[molson]

Are the Giants using the FOF end of game strategies? just throwing deep all the time in the last two minutes when they could move the ball slower.

Very true - they have a shitload of time,

[Karlifornia]

Shit....3rd and 10.....two minutes left.....no matter what the Giants do...I think we can all say this Super Bowl has been best-cast scenario....worth watching, anyway....

[Eaglesfan27]

Rough spot there.

[SnowMan]

Man, roll over or something Toomah

[molson]

Rough spot there.

The ball was clearly short.

Great finish.

[SirFozzie]

pretty much an extra TO there

[DaddyTorgo]

ooooh. For a split second I thought asante had that

[SirFozzie]

OHHHHHH.. That was almost ball game

[Jas_lov]

WOW! What a play by Eli!

[Icy]

WOW

[SnowMan]

OMG what a play!

[DaddyTorgo]

you're fucking kidding me. WTF

[Noop]

OH MY GAWD!!!!!

[Eaglesfan27]

WOW! What a play by Eli!

[QuikSand]

Wow, what a play.

[sterlingice]

You have got to be kidding me

SI

[Racer]

Oh my god

[SirFozzie]

How long does he have to be in the grasp?

[SnowMan]

Amazing catch there.

[Eaglesfan27]

Great catch by Tyree as well.

[molson]

Amazing. Eli's got "the play" in the books, now he just has to punch it in.

[Jas_lov]

It deserves to be said many times. What a play!

[ace1914]

OMFG. If the Giants win...remember that play. Forever.

[Galaril]

Holy Fuck incredible throw and catch!

[Northwood_DK]

wow what a play

[Eaglesfan27]

If the Giants win this, no "buts" in my mind. They will have beaten the best team in football this season and fully deserve their championship.

[SirFozzie]

so many jump balls.

[DaddyTorgo]

I don't really like this situation field-position wise though. Was much more comfy before the 32 yard pass

[Jas_lov]

Noone is going to question whether the Giants deserve it if they win this game.

[Icy]

After this incredible drive, they really deserve the win.

[SnowMan]

How many 3rd down catches does Smith have? He's been great for them.

[Eaglesfan27]

Steve Smith has been huge for the Giants tonight.

[Jas_lov]

BURRESS!!!!!!!!

[DaddyTorgo]

OH FUCK

[Icy]

WOWWWWWWWWWWW

[Jas_lov]

ELI!!!!!!

[Noop]

Holy Crap!!!!!!!! Eli Manning!!!

[SirFozzie]

Damnit,

[SnowMan]

Speaking of wide open!!

[Eaglesfan27]

YES!!!! YES!!! My cats just jumped when I shouted!

[Huckleberry]

The Patriots must not have spied on the Giants' red-zone practice.

[Northwood_DK]

wow again

[Icy]

Sorry Welker, i wanted a ring for you, but the Giants really deserve this win.

[Racer]

Wow. This one isn't over yet though. Moss and Welker have big play potential.

[Huckleberry]

Lots of time with three timeouts to get in field goal range.

Return will be huge. Patriots have had the upperhand on special teams so far today.

[Racer]

Dola, Patriots got plenty of time to get in field goal range.

[Noop]

Eli Manning has one of the greatest super bowl performances I have ever seen in my life.

[ace1914]

A Manning wins two years in a row.

[Galaril]

Wow.I guess Buress knew what he was talking about talk about backing up the talk.

[Noop]

This game reminds me of St. Louis versus New England.

[molson]

G-Men deserve the win, and the Pats blew it, big time.

Not over though.

[SnowMan]

Ya, Eli is the easy MVP after that drive But also, lots of time left for sure.

[Eaglesfan27]

I wonder how much Belicheck gets second guessed for not going for the 49 yard FG earlier in the game.

[Icy]

Now a tie and overtime would be amazing, i don't want this game to end ever!

[k0ruptr]

I wonder how much Belicheck gets second guessed for not going for the 49 yard FG earlier in the game.

+1

[SnowMan]

People were saying no faith in his kicker? Guess we may just find out whether or not that's well earned.

[Huckleberry]

BOOM!

[SnowMan]

BIG sack there.

[SirFozzie]

They earned this. Congrats to the Giants.

[Noop]

YES!!!!!

[stevew]

YES!!!! YES!!! My cats just jumped when I shouted!

That's the YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! heard round the world.

[sterlingice]

That pass was their best chance...

SI

[Schmidty]

That was good.

[stevew]

Pending the outcome of this final 10 seconds

[miami_fan]

Holy shit! Don't tell me a team from the JV conference may won the Super Bowl!

[Racer]

Man, Brady threw that a mile.

[johnnyshaka]

Man, Brady threw that a mile.

And Moss still had to pull up.

[Noop]

The Miami Dolphins the ONLY undefeated football team in the history of the NFL.

[molson]

Amazing, historical, spectacular performance by the Giants.

The Pats blew it......

I won't lose sleep. I'm more than spoiled, and got to see the Sox win it all in person in Denver.

But tonight, the Giants got it done. Well deserved champs.

[Eaglesfan27]

Great game. Congrats, Giants' fans.

[SirFozzie]

*applause*

[SnowMan]

Congrats Eli and the Giants.

[Jas_lov]

Congratulations to the New York Giants and especially two men left for dead, Tom Coughlin and Eli Manning. Screw you Tiki Barber! AHAHAHAHAHA They won 3 road games to get to the Super Bowl, including two of the tougher places to play, Dallas Stadium and Lambeau Field. They won the Superbowl against the first 18-0 team ever. Very very deserving. Good for Michael Strahan. He deserves it. The Giants deserve it.

The Patriots perfect regular season is meaningless. They proved today that they couldn't win the big one. They won every game except the most important one. The Patriots are no 72 Miami Dolphins, that's for sure. The Patriots season was a failure and it will go down in history as such, if it's remembered at all.

[INDalltheway]

Three thoughts I'm going to throw out there.. I am a Colts fan (obviously), and this was better than the Colts winning the Super Bowl.. The Giants are really American's Team! and there really is a God!

[Chubby]

Perfect Season



Suck it :D

[SirFozzie]

Congratulations to the Giants.

[sterlingice]

Damn, I really wanted to see an undefeated season :(

SI

[Buccaneer]

shit. :(

[stevew]

Plex and I have had our issues in the past, but I'll give it up to him, and Eli for their amazing end of the season run.

Kneel this shit out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SnowMan]

Belichick is class all the way...

[INDalltheway]

This is ridiculous.. Shows how classy Mr. Belichick is.

[DaddyTorgo]

Congrats G-men

*shrug*

Pats had two opportunities to make a play on that 32-yd pass to Tyree there (both with the sack and on the reception) and didn't. Ah well

[stevew]

Fuck them, snap the ball and run for a TD if they don't want to take the field.

[TreeInNewEngland]

Please everyone..pray for me tonight

[ace1914]

Belicheck is an ass.

[Noop]

Eli Manning > Then New England.

[molson]

Please everyone..pray for me tonight

LOL

[Jas_lov]

Tiki Barber just threw himself in front of a bus.

[SirFozzie]

Please everyone..pray for me tonight


You're safe. Don't call it an upset. They out played us, and they came back when it mattered most. Huge Props to the Giants.

[INDalltheway]

Please everyone..pray for me tonight
my thoughts exactly

[cougarfreak]

This is ridiculous.. Shows how classy Mr. Belichick is.

My thoughts exactly. What a freaking idiot.

[SnowMan]

Aw Plex needs a hug.

[sterlingice]

Please everyone..pray for me tonight

Ok, that was kindof funny.

SI

[miami_fan]

FUCK I hate Eli but......

That was a helluva of a performance by Eli on that last drive. The Giants defense was outstanding all night long. Tom Coughlin is a Super Bowl winning coach. Wow

Congrats to the Giant fans. You and your team reall can saw that no one else thought they could do it.

[Mustang]

Lots and lots of Ugandan children will proudly wear their New England Patriots Super Bowl XLII champion shirts...

[Eaglesfan27]

Belicheck is an ass.

Yep. Enough to make even an Eaglesfan root for the Giants.

[Jas_lov]

Are the Giants the first 5th seed to win the Superbowl?

[Buccaneer]

Giants did deserve to win. That certainly was an exciting game.

[bulletsponge]

now i see why Bilickik wanted Moss, they both are sore loosers who walk of the field leaving thier team when the game is still goin gon

[k0ruptr]

I dont understand the hate for tiki jas lov. what did he do, he wanted to retire. he was ready. thats all. (as far as i remember)

[Huckleberry]

Someone should ask Brady what he thinks about how Plaxico Burress actually overestimated the Patriots offense.

[cthomer5000]

Take that perfect record and shove it up your ass. All up in your ass.

[molson]

The Pats sucked tonight and it annoys me. Where was the team that blew everyone out the first 10 weeks of the season??

They absolutely deserve the label of biggest super bowl bust ever.....

Still better than losing to the Colts though. I'm happy for the Giants and their fans.

[Racer]

This is great for Eli! Media writes him off at the of the season then he proves them wrong by beating a 18-0 team in the Super Bowl.

[johnnyshaka]

Are the Giants the first 5th seed to win the Superbowl?

I would think so as they were the lowest seed to ever make it to the big game.

[Pumpy Tudors]

What an asshole Belichick is. I don't care about the cockiness or confidence or whatever you call it, but walking off the field before the game was over was just fucking mean. I understand that he went out and congratulated Coughlin before, but there's no excuse for him to abandon his team who still had to go out there and line up for a play. Jeez, what a jerk.

[twothree]

I wonder if the title of that book on Amazon will change?

[Eaglesfan27]

I know most of us tend to be focused on most recent events, but as I'm thinking back right now, I'd have to say that Eli's pass to Tyree on that final drive is going to be one of the top 10 SB signature plays.

[SirFozzie]

I would think so as they were the lowest seed to ever make it to the big game.

in the NFC, I think

[stevew]

The Drive:2

Sequel was much better than the original.

[cthomer5000]

I would think so as they were the lowest seed to ever make it to the big game.

Only from the NFC. Weren't the Steelers a #6 two years ago?

[Huckleberry]

I would think so as they were the lowest seed to ever make it to the big game.


Pittsburgh was the AFC's #6 seed when they beat Seattle.

[Mustang]

I dont understand the hate for tiki jas lov. what did he do, he wanted to retire. he was ready. thats all. (as far as i remember)

Threw his teammates under the bus with some of the comments he made in the offseason.

[Galaril]

Lots and lots of Ugandan children will proudly wear their New England Patriots Super Bowl XLII champion shirts...

lol.

[MrBug708]

Please everyone..pray for me tonight

lol

[Northwood_DK]

the 19-0 book is on sale on Amazon

[stevew]

I know most of us tend to be focused on most recent events, but as I'm thinking back right now, I'd have to say that Eli's pass to Tyree on that final drive is going to be one of the top 10 SB signature plays.

That's shit we'll be talking to our grandkids about. Easily one of the most memorable plays for me, anyways.

[johnnyshaka]

Doug Williams is showing too much cuff...how embarrassing.

[molson]

I know most of us tend to be focused on most recent events, but as I'm thinking back right now, I'd have to say that Eli's pass to Tyree on that final drive is going to be one of the top 10 SB signature plays.

Agreed - that was amazing, I hope it gets it's dues.

[Icy]

I know most of us tend to be focused on most recent events, but as I'm thinking back right now, I'd have to say that Eli's pass to Tyree on that final drive is going to be one of the top 10 SB signature plays.


Agree, it was the key of this win, an incredible play first by Eli getting rid of the defenders and not falling down, and then Tyree catching that incredible throw.

[cougarfreak]

I would think so as they were the lowest seed to ever make it to the big game.

The 2006 Steelers were a 6 seed.

[molson]

the 19-0 book is on sale on Amazon

Maybe I'll buy a couple of copies to cry in a corner with.

[bulletsponge]

this just continues to prove, its not how many point you score in the regular season, defense STILL wins championships

[Galaril]

I know most of us tend to be focused on most recent events, but as I'm thinking back right now, I'd have to say that Eli's pass to Tyree on that final drive is going to be one of the top 10 SB signature plays.

Agree.

I know most of us tend to be focused on most recent events, but as I'm thinking back right now, I'd have to say that Eli's pass to Tyree on that final drive is going to be one of the top 10 SB signature plays.

Easily. Off the top of my head I don't remember any plays bigger...

[johnnyshaka]

Pittsburgh was the AFC's #6 seed when they beat Seattle.

Sorry...my mistake...guess I didn't hear them say "NFC" during the telecast.

[gstelmack]

Congratulations to the Giants and their fans. Your defensive line won this game for you, no doubt. You came to play and hats off to you. A well-deserved victory.

My biggest disappointment will be hearing about the '72 Dolphins for another year.

And for the haters in this thread (sheesh, I read just the last page and am already ready to puke), get a freakin' life, will ya? And Pats fans are supposed to be jerks...

Easily. Off the top of my head I don't remember any plays bigger...

(NOT trying to be a wet blanket)

The Vinatieri FG's.

One Yard Short (Titans-Rams)..

It's a top 5 signature play though.

this just continues to prove, its not how many point you score in the regular season, defense STILL wins championships

Agreed.

[bulletsponge]

Agreed - that was amazing, I hope it gets it's dues.

a NY team did it. it will be overplayed till your sick of it

I know most of us tend to be focused on most recent events, but as I'm thinking back right now, I'd have to say that Eli's pass to Tyree on that final drive is going to be one of the top 10 SB signature plays.


I think so. The first individual plays that immediately come to mind to me(Immaculate Reception, "The Catch") were both in conference championship games, not super bowls.

The Randel El WR pass was big for me, but Tyree, and the ensuing events actually made almost as happy as when the Steelers won.

Right now, I can't think of any that I'd say were bigger and more spectacular either. I was being conservative when I said top 10, because I know I'm probably being biased by the recent nature of it. However, I think that is a play that is going to stand the test of time.

Oh yeah that FG was huge. Not sure about one yard short since the titans lost.

Maybe I'll buy a couple of copies to cry in a corner with.

Awesome...

Honestly, I think this one is bigger than One Yard Short.

That one required one man to step up and make a play on Dyson.

This one required Manning to evade, what was it, four guys? Stay on his feet, regain his balance, and then take the shot downfield, and then *Tyree* had to catch the ball and hang onto it on his way down. It needed near-perfection on both ends of the ball to make it happen.

[EagleFan]

I would think so as they were the lowest seed to ever make it to the big game.

They were the lowest seed in the NFC to make the Super Bowl. The Steelers won as a 5th seed two years ago.

First let me sat congrats to the Ginats for doing what no one gave them any chance to accomplish......................
Now as a very outspoken anti Pats fan from Boston who many of the Pats fans on the board here no me to be hats off to all the Pats fans on this board for a great season and for showing great sportsmanship here tonight. You guys all are a class act in my book and I doubt if I culd have been as gracious in defeat as you all have. Still a great year and remember Boston will always be Red Sox country we will kick the Yankees asses in retailation.

The '72 Dolphins are still an overrated embarrassment.
