Patriots offensive line totally sucked today.

Why did they take Moss with them to AZ if they weren't going to use him?

Agree with the person about the last TD... Burris was wide open. Blown assignment.

Brady had a sucky haircut and was showing off for Gizelle.

Nice decision, passing up a field goal, Belichick.

The game should have never been that close.

Bellicheck knew his kicker, who has never kicked one longer than 52 yards, was probably not going to make it so he opted for an additional push on the 4th and long, with the hopes that his offense would, at the very least, move the ball a bit more and make it that much farther from the end zone for the Giants.

I'd have gone for it. He showed no confidence in his kicker and that could've backfired big time if the game came down to a long field goal. Imagine the added pressure on the guy when he comes in to kick a long field go and he knows his own coach thinks he can't make it.

This is the first time, as everybody knows, in Superbowl history that a team that went undefeated in the regular season and the playoffs lost in THE GAME. This was not, however the first time that it has happened in NFL history. Way back in 1934, the Chicago Bears went 13-0 in the regular season to earn a spot in the NFL Championship game, which they then lost 30-13. And the team that beat Chicago back then? Why, of course, THE NEW YORK GIANTS!!!!!! Coincidence? Lightning striking twice? Both in 1934 and in this years Superbowl, the Giants were longshots. In 1934, the NY Giants were 8-5. This year they were 10-6. Both seasons were improbable. Both victories were improbable, too. But them Giants did it both times.

With all due respect, how can a game contested by teams from only 2 countries be called the "World Series".
Wouldn't "North American Series" be more accurate?

When it comes to rounders I'm afraid I'm a Dodgers fan.

Pleased you won some money though and that The Giants won, sounds like it was a bang on party afterwards.

I'm not that big a fan of american "football" but I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed this game.

Yes, it was pretty low scoring, but that didn't affect the excitement one bit.

The only problem was it didn't finish til past 3am here.

Glad to see the underdog win - we don't get enough of that these days.
