'Kudos & Wet Willies,' 2012 Super Bowl Edition
Here is your 2012 Super Bowl Champion New York Giants edition of 'Kudos & Wet Willies.' It is a 'Wet Willies' free zone today. You don't give WWs after a Super Bowl title.
Kudos To ...
Eli Manning: What can you say? A 30-for-40 performance for 296 yards one touchdown. A second Super Bowl MVP. One of the most perfect throws you will ever see on the 38-yard completion to Mario Manningham that started the game-winning drive. No mistakes. Anyone still wondering if Eli is elite? Anyone still wondering if Ernie Accorsi trading for him way back in 2004 was a good idea? Anybody still wondering if Manning is headed to the Pro Football Hall of Fame?
Mario Manningham: He can drive you crazy with his route-running and miscommunications with Manning, but when the Giants needed plays on the final drive Manningham made them. The catch he made on the first play of the game-winning drive is really as technically perfect a catch as a receiver can make, and considering the circumstances one of the best plays you will ever see.
Hakeem Nicks: Ten catches for 109 yards. Thank you very much Patriots for double-teaming Victor Cruz all day and letting Nicks run wild.
Victor Cruz: He had four catches, including a touchdown, and he got to salsa. Gotta give him, kudos.
Steve Weatherford: I really don't the answer, but I have to wonder if a punter had ever had a better Super Bowl game than Weatherford did on Sunday. Four punts, a Super Bowl record three inside the 10-yard line and a fourth one that could have been with a better bounce. Thank you, New York Jets. Weatherford was a huge factor in this game, and in this season for the Giants.
Justin Tuck: Give it up for Tuck. A pressure that created a safety. Two huge sacks of Brady. All of this with one arm. We will find out soon how badly damaged Tuck's left shoulder is, and I would expect to find out he needs surgery.
Tom Coughlin: Two Super Bowl titles in five seasons, and this one doesn't happen with Coughlin's resolve, his constant encouragement to finish, his ability to motivate a team when many thought he had lost touch. Coughlin could be headed to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
John Mara: For being smarter than fans who spent the last couple of years calling for Coughlin's head. And for being instrumental in bringing an end to the lockout that nearly ruined this season and would have prevented the Giants from once again hoisting the Lombardi Trophy.
Ann Mara: The 82-year-old widow of Wellington Mara gets 'kudos' for showing up in Indianapolis, broken shoulder and all.
Jerry Reese: He built this team, and believed in the roster even when many were -- for the first time -- beginning to question if Reese had lost his magic touch. He hasn't.
Ahmad Bradshaw: He scored the game-winning touchdown in a Super Bowl, whether he should have or not. And he ended up with 72 yards rushing. He belongs on the list.
Michael Boley: Ten tackles in the Super Bowl game. No huge plays, but you still have to give him his due.
Bear Pascoe: Travis Beckum went down. Jake Ballard went down. Pascoe did not, and wound up with four catches for 33 yards.
Lawrence Tynes: Two field-goal attempts, two makes. Can't miss in the Super Bowl, and Tynes did not.
The Fumble Recovery Gods: They smiled on the Giants three times Sunday night. Once when a Victor Cruz fumble was nullified by a New England penalty, and twice when fumbles by Hakeem Nicks and Bradshaw were recovered by the Giants.
Kevin Boothe/David Baas/Chris Snee: Held Vince Wilfork to three tackles and absolutely no impact on the game.
Chase Blackburn: Six tackles and HUGE interception. When Brady escaped the clutches of Linval Joseph my guess is every Giants fan had a flashback to Manning to David Tyree in 2008. I know I did. When the ball was thrown deep I immediately thought the Patriots were about to deliver payback. Blackburn prevented that, and made six tackles. Why wasn't he on the team all season again?
Henry Hynoski: He had 2 catches for 19 yards (including a first down rumble in the 1st quarter), he recovered Hakeem Nicks fumble by alertly following the play, and he helped block for the running game. A gritty performance, exactly what is expected out of a Giants Fullback.

it was a 3 man DL
it’s inexcusable to get beat that badly.

I am totally with you
about the camera’s on Kraft.. That one of the class-less displays I have ever seen. I was screaming at the TV, get the camera off of him. Dont ever show a broken man.
Do it to Jerry Jones, that is funny. Dont do it to a guy that just lost his wife and now the superbowl. I was sickened.
Regardless of what happens, No playoffs, playoffs, no superblow, superblow.... The 2011/2012 is one of my favorite Giants Teams of all time.

Big boy ran hard...
..maybe time for him to revert to a short yardage back — that is, if he could actually pick up the first in short yardage situations. He tiptoed once to the outside on second and one, but other than that he ran hard between the tackles last night.

My Wife is a Patriot's fan...
"Giants rely on fumbles and stripping the ball. If the pats secure the ball, then the pats win, but if they fumble or let the ball get striped than the giants win. every game the giants play they always benefit from the other teams bonehead mistakes (fumbled or striped) not from thier skills. The giants are a dirty team, I can’t think of any othe team as dirty as the giants. They try to strip the ball as hard as they can because they know they can’t win a fair game." by EaglesNeedD on Jan 23, 2012 2:01 AM EST

Off topic.
I clearly fall into the unstable Giant fan category (if one exist). My 2007 SB party was an epic experience. Hard core Gmen fans. Not the case this yr. 4 YRS later, there Kids and wives in the equation.
I left with 9 mins left in the game, raced home turned off my phone and watched with my dog.. (like i have through out the playoffs)
After the game i turned on the phone and got a bunch of angry text . none more bitter then my poor GF.
THANK GOD FOR BBV. the AA of the football world.
I may not be the most noble of men but in a town of lepers, im the one with the most fingers.

he was man on with Hernandez. I’m not sure who in the LB world can cover him in man.

But Boley and Blackburn were getting exposed like crazy last night, and couldn’t cover at all. Blackburn did get that INT, though, so I forgot about it…but they would be among the scapegoats (and rightfully so) had we lost.
But we didn’t, so its cool.

Right, the two Pats TD drives back to back had me worried...
LBzez picked on hardcore. But they responded. Nice pop by Boleyn to dislodge the ball from Hernandez on a would-be catch…Chase stepped up and made a big play, etc.
by Step up and make big plays on Feb 6, 2012 12:07 PM EST up reply actions
Yeah, Boley and Blackburn got beat a few times
but at least it was usually for short gains. They kept the YAC to a very reasonable amount. Hernandez is a very good player and there aren’t many 3 down LB’s that can shut him down.

also another dbag statement...I thought the Refs were damn good yesterday.
Yeah, that Pass Interference call could have been called, but when I looked at it a 2nd time, it was real close. That holding call on Boothe was a little suspect as well….but all in all, those were the only complaints I had….much much better than the rest of the playoffs.

Totally agree there
The players know a lot is going to be ignored but when you start seeing them complain about the holding (like many of them were in the 2nd half) you know it’s bad.

the play on Manningham on the 3rd and 10
was such an obvious pass interference call. It really wasn’t even close, it was as deliberately blind as the GB fumble those idiots didn’t get right. But other then that one they did fine. The holding call on Boothe is a tough one, 9/10 times when one of the defensive porkers fall to the ground like that they call holding.
Last night, a comedian died in New York. Somebody knows why. Somebody knows
yeah Boothie got a hold of him
but they let far more egregious stuff go, it was a hold, but the NFL really needs to clarify that stuff
Eli is our King!
I saw much worse against the Giants like
tho I guess the real key to getting a holding call is to fall down. When I see the Giants DLs get held and I’m yelling at the TV, they’re always standing up and running at the QB
Last night, a comedian died in New York. Somebody knows why. Somebody knows
On pass blocking its almost been eliminated
But on run blocks, I often saw their WRs with one hand on each CB outside shoulder pad
That used to be an automatic hold
Eli is our King!
nothing irks me more than
The holding call on Boothe is a tough one, 9/10 times when one of the defensive porkers fall to the ground like that they call holding.
Boothe is on his knees falling backward and he gets called for holding. It completely changed the complexion of the game.

To be fair
No LBs have been able to cover Gronk and Hernandez this year. If Gronk was healthy, we probably would have seen more safeties covering those guys towards the end. Instead we took our chances and it worked.

Kudos to the CBs as well...
..the Pats edge receivers did very little, Welker had a quiet six catches (though admittedly should have been much more on that broken coverage whe he dropped the pass).
All in all, CWeb shut em down (and coldcocked Branch over the middle), Ross played physical (lovelly tackle blowing up the blocker in stopping Green-Ellis for a loss), and #20 seldom had his name called and was not abused in coverage.

Hey, 'nywins46' sounds just as beautiful as we thought it would!!!
Is it wrong that I want to make sweet love to the holes that I've been punching into my Giants FatHeads all season?
people act like if Ross doesn't play like Revis he sucks
but the guy’s been pretty good all year. The potential of this team was so great, if we actually had Thomas playing the slot so Rolle could be the CF he hasn’t been allowed to be since he got here, then Ross could take some more chances like he wants to.
Either in NY or somewhere else he’s gonna make a real good DB for someone next year.

Agreed
Ross is inconsistant at best. I have questioned his passion for the game since he wanted to quit. I hope Prince takes his spot next season.
I don't think that was his point
Ross is good, you questioning his passing for the game doesn’t matter. It was obvious last night his passion for the game was there now, and that’s all that matters.

We needed a Safety, he was the best available.
Market dictates the price for him, can’t blame Reese, it was a huge need, maybe our biggest at the time, and he payed what he had to for the best available FA safety, seeing that there weren’t many good ones coming out in the draft. Splurge would be an unnecessary purchase, I really wouldn’t define Rolle’s signing as a splurge.

Rolle is more than a player for the team

If it wasn’t for him calling out Tuck after the 2nd Redskins game(? not sure if it was that exact game), I think we’d have been talking about the draft for the last month.

Anvil is winning his battle basically every play
Wait for Austin, when I watched him play I thought Charles Barkley (who I watched many times at the Garden very close). That man is way to big to have that kind of quickness. If Austin can get it together (knowledge and game shape after a long layoff), our DL picks up a #1 pick in 2012.

Kudos to Ernie Accorsi
He was the FIRST to believe in Eli & bring him to us!
that was JR
Reese was the first to buy into Eli, Accorsi gets the credit, as he should… but it was JR
Regardless of what happens, No playoffs, playoffs, no superblow, superblow.... The 2011/2012 is one of my favorite Giants Teams of all time.
I'm seeing a lot of revisionist history on the Eli drafting here lately ...
Everything I’ve ever read said Accorsi scouted Eli down at Ole Miss personally, and he was the one who made the trade (and didn’t give up Osi).
Reese deserves a lot of credit for both Super Bowl teams, but I’d like to see something more concrete that would suggest Eli was Rees’s doing over Accorsi.
What you're saying is true
but understand, that JR was chief scout, a GM DOES NOT go scout college players willy nilly. Accorsi said, he went to JR and asked him to scout up the QBs, because they were looking for a franchise guy. According to Ernie, JR said, I’ve already done that (which is what a good right hand man does, he anticipates). Handed him a list of one guy. Eli Manning.
Now, Ernie scouted him, and made the decisions, he made the deal, and he paid top price for Eli even though everyone knew he wanted out of SD.
Ernie gets credit for his personal scouting (he could have disagreed with JR)
Ernie gets credit for selling him to the owners (thats not always easy)
Ernie gets HUGE credit for making the deal (no small thing, and not something every GM can pull off)
Ernie gets HUGE credit for absolutely sticking with Eli and never drafting a competitor that would have created a QB controversy.
So Ernie gets huge credit, but that doesn’t mean JR stopped being the his #2, or stopped doing what he does as well as anyone in the NFL. He scouts and evaluates, and he has the courage of his convictions.
Eli is our King!
this is why I hope Marc Ross continues to not get GM jobs
he’s basically a young Reese and does a whole hell of a lot as JR’s right hand man
Last night, a comedian died in New York. Somebody knows why. Somebody knows
JR isn't 50, he could do this for another 10-15 years potentially
No way we can hide Ross that long if he’s as good as you think.
Eli is our King!
GMs can go on forever if they want
and considering its the Giants, Reese can do that. As for Ross I’m already surprised he hasn’t gotten a job the past few years. I dunno if there’s still any spots open this year so there’s that chance.
Hopefully Reese has Ross’ replacement already in mind, and it tough to fathom that he doesn’t.

if there's one thing about the Giants organization
ownership just doesn’t allow our management to get gray hairs. For as stressful as the Giants jobs may seem to be, I just don’t get the sense that working for the Giants is something that you can’t do until you really want to hang em up.
Reese has obviously built a reputation and already a legacy here. This SB is really more his building then the last one. Of course he knows that he’s not infallible, but it doesn’t seem the Giants make a point to let him know that.
Last night, a comedian died in New York. Somebody knows why. Somebody knows
I think I also read somewhere that one of the main reasons JR got the job ...
when EA retired, was that the had a reputation of being very sure of his convictions and not a lot of the “on the other hand” stuff.
Mara wanted Chris Mara (who has a great rep on scouting and player eval)
But Tisch said NO WAY, we can’t have a GM that cant be fired (though I wonder if John Mara would really go down that road after what his Dad went thru)

Long live Jerry Jones to the age of 150 and remain GM till he dies.
This is not the 2007 team.
2011 NYG will have their own legacy.
I have problems with this idea
Basically you are saying EA pulled the trigger, but all the credit should go to JR. If that is the case then now JR shouldn’t get the credit for the picks he makes. JR cannot get credit for Eli and, say, JPP, in this kind of scenario.
The guy who makes the call gets the credit
That might be the single toughest thing. Every good GM has a team of guys. The best GMs surround themselves with good guys. I respect Ernie as much for having JR in place as I do for getting Eli.
Don’t underestimate being the decision maker. It’s far easier to find scouts than the boss.
Eli is our King!
Don't forget about Osi...
Ernie basically said “no deal” when the Chargers wanted Osi to go along with the Eli trade…

I'm the biggest TC supporter, but he deserves a big, fat KWILLIE for this one
For getting absolutely OWNED by Belichick in his botched mis-management of the last 1:30 of that game.
With the wave of a finger, Belichick tilted the odds from about 98+% in the Giants’ favor (Tynes is 56 of 57 in his career from that range), to giving the patriots what was probably a 1-in-4 or 1-in-5 chance of winning the game.
By not kneeling on it at the end of the game, TC essentially did what he had to do to eliminate the chance of getting blame/attention for a loss, since it probably would have been on the defense if the Pats had scored a TD on that last drive.
Nicks making a physical play is part to blame...
…love the physicality of 88…he shoved his way to a first down, and that WR screen is good for 5+ eve time to time…but he allowed himself to be shoved out of bounds. The game ends differently if he picks up the first but stays in bounds.
by Step up and make big plays on Feb 6, 2012 12:27 PM EST up reply actions
True....
If Nicks stays in bounds there, the Giants could kneel it all the way down to the last play – by getting pushed out, even if we had sat on it for 3 plays, the pats would have had 30+ seconds to get down the field and kick a game winning FG. I think not kneeling on it was the real gut shot though – a full 1-minute+ for Brady, with a timeout to spare (I think).
Completely disagree
I don’t fault Nicks at all. His first priority was getting the first down. We had 3 down. They had 2 timeouts.
Jacobs to Eli: You're a beast, man. I can't say that enough!
I don't fault Nicks at all, either...
….getting shoved out of bounds was a consequence of muscling his way for the first down. His physical play is what got the first down, but in the process was driven off of the field.

Correct. He could not help it.
He got the 1st down which was more important.
This is not the 2007 team.
2011 NYG will have their own legacy.
wouldn't you feel like an idiot if Tynes kicks it wide right?
you score the god damn points. They needed a TD to win after we score there. A TD. Not a FG.
Bradshaw should’ve ran right through the endzone and spiked it like he normally does.

I know, it would have felt way, way worse to miss a FG than to lose on a Brady drive
But the odds are the odds.
You’re less likely to miss an extra point than you are to allow Tom Brady to drive down the field and score a TD with 1:00+. There isn’t much of an argument.
I dunno about that.
we’re talking a TD with one timeout left and 57 seconds left. Sure a FG wins the game, but I take the sure points when they’re there. If we’re talking about giving Brady a chance to get his team in FG range to win or tie, then OK hold the ball and try for the kick and take as much time as possible.
There no doubt is an argument they did the right thing whether they knew it or not. Tynes is clutch, but he’s still Tynes.
Last night, a comedian died in New York. Somebody knows why. Somebody knows
Guess it depends on how much you trust those 'situational calculators'.....
If I were a HC, I would certainly take them into account… but some just prefer to ignore them. The official numbers according to those things:
Giants kneel and kick FG: Pats have less than 4% chance of winning.
Giants score TD and kick ball back to Brady: Pats have a 15% chance of winning.
So by allowing the Giants to score, the Pats increased their odds of winning four-fold. I know those are just theoretical numbers, but it’s hard to ignore that significant of a difference.
considering we had two of the worst statistical defenses in the NFL in the SB
as well as two terrible running teams, I’ll just throw out the odds. Also 95% vs. 85% still means we have a good shot.
And again, considering recent (Cundiff) and past (Norwood), you take what’s there.
Last night, a comedian died in New York. Somebody knows why. Somebody knows
Bad memories...
That 3.5% obviously includes bad snaps, but I understand that the ‘choke factor’ is immeasurable there.
The question really comes down to how much you tilt the odds against the kicker for a game-winning super bowl kick – if the Giants are 3-4 times more likely to f—- it up in that situation than in an ‘average’ 20-yard FG attempt, then they did the right thing. Impossible to know now.
I will say it feels pretty damn sweet knowing that Brady had a great crack at this one, and didn’t come through…. further validates what Eli and this team has been able to do under pressure.
also don't forget in 2007 he had a lot of time left, I think it was 40 seconds
and all they had to do was go down and make a FG. I also love the fact that instead of going 3 down and prevent, Perry Fewell made us all forget that he was even there and left the 4 down lineman.
Last night, a comedian died in New York. Somebody knows why. Somebody knows
They kicked it on 3rd down
left themselves another try on 4th down if something went wrong.

The FG takes another 4 or 5 seconds brings the game clock down to about 10 seconds. With no time out and a touchback the Pats have 10 seconds from their 20 to get into FG range to win the game.
Jacobs to Eli: You're a beast, man. I can't say that enough!
That's IF they make it
Everyone’s gonna have an opinion on this, but 6 points were guaranteed, the 3 were not. If the score was tied, then it’s probably the right call. But if we miss, we lose.

you completely miss the point as per usual
its the idea of kicking a FG vs. sure points in just running into the end zone. Lots of things can happen on the FG attempt. The TD was a sure thing there.
Last night, a comedian died in New York. Somebody knows why. Somebody knows
Didn't we have some sort of last second FG
go horribly, horribly wrong in the play-offs, once upon a time? People have short memories…
Precisely why I felt the Td was the right thing.
When I saw AB try to stop, and I thought he was going to, I just pictured 2001 in my head. I was ecstatic that he scored.

Absolutely agree with you on this one....
You’re behind, you get the TD, take the lead and trust the defense to hold them and if they can’t you didn’t deserve to win. Tynes has had a couple of field goals blocked, we already had Weatherford bail us out on a bad snap in S.F. I think this whole deal is kind of like what people accused Fewell of (though with some reason) – getting too cute and outsmarting yourself. Take the TD and the trophy.
Yeah
Take the points.
If you can’t stop an offense from driving 80 yards in 50 seconds, you don’t deserve the superbowl

I wish Bradshaw whistled through the gap and spiked it hard thus allowing his teammates to celebrate the score and the lead. As it was there was a limbo effect where a couple celebrated and the rest were almost pained at first. It should not have been that way. If Coughlin or Gilbride wanted to burn clock they should have distributed that thought via Eli in the huddle. The Two point play was the last time the 2011 offense was to make a meaningful snap. It should have been the most physical offensive snap in the game with two extra lineman as TEs and BJac piling into the line with reckless abandon unless a WR was left unmarked (Eli audible a pass). Having Ware run that play was a surrender in itself. I recognize that the 2 points were not a significant factor should the Pats have nailed the hail mary. Pounding the ball in from BJac may have been his sunset play as a Giant and more for my selfish delight.
I fully respect the competency of our specials unit in regards to FG and XP. Weatherford is a quality placeholder with serious nads. Tynes has nailed some kicks in pressure situations and in nasty weather. Still behind in the score I take the points when you can get it and I whole heatedly agree with Rorschach44 and my fellow Giants fans who were cool with scoring and allowing the defense to manage a 57 second drive (I would be less resolute during the losing streak…..). The NFC Championship situation in SF was different as it was OT and a score meant an instant win. The team did run a meaningful play on 1st down like in the SB with Ahmad.

Rec'd, couldn't agree more.
Was watching with a good dozen Giants fans, all who started screaming at Bradshaw for scoring. I just kind of looked at them and said, what’s the big deal. Now Brady has to drive the whole field again for TD, not just get one 40 yard pass that puts them in FG range for the win. Take the points. TD>FG.

But you gotta take the points. If we kick a FG the Pats only need a FG. The TD made sure that they had to go the length of the field to score

This is not the 2007 team.

Never tell me the odds!
Your point is well taken, but nobody ever won a game until they scored more points than the other team. If you try to kill the clock and something goes wrong, you’ve lost the game for your team.
Under a minute with only one time out needing a touchdown is a tall order. Regardless of the odds, losing that way is much more acceptable than deliberately not scoring and then having a Pisarchik moment.
Look at the heat Mike Smith took for his 4th and 1 call vs NO in OT this year. He played the percentages and still got a boatload of crap when it didn’t work out.
Blue is the color of melancholy and honesty
Green is the color of inexperience, envy and nausea.
Incidentally BSPN just said the TD made it a 96% chance the Giants win
So as I said above, if you are going to have a disaster, I’d rather give up a Hail Mary than miss a FG which you chose to attempt instead of walking into the endzone.

Well, I don't think Belichick or TC had much to do with this outcome....
The Giants outplayed the pats by small margin, and probably more importantly, caught a LOT of breaks in this one, and that’s why they won.
The point I was trying to make is that percentage wise, coughlin made the wrong play. Some like to obey the percentages (I do, especially since statistically the Pats had 4x more of a chance to win after they let the giants score), and some like to throw them out the door.
you're wrong to put that on Coughlin

No, he wasn't. Eli told him to go down as he was running. Coughlin said he DID NOT tell Bradshaw to go down.
Kinda hard as running back to stop your momentum going forward after five yards with your QB screaming go down. However, I’d take the points and our D against Brady rather than giving them 20-30 seconds and a timeout to get in FG range.
Two things.
1) I don’t fault Bradshaw. Why hand him the ball if you don’t want to score. Just do a kneel down.
2) 2 Kneel downs then the FG would give Brady <10 seconds with no TO’s to get in FG range. Damn near impossible. What they were left with, 50+ seconds and a TO to score a TD was much more doable.
but ain't it a nice debate to have in hindsight?

Especially when the outcome was good anyway.
But when it happened live, my 59 minutes of doing real good on the minimal swearing thing in front of my Super Bowl Party guests went out the f*#kin’ window, and it was major Giants Tourettes !!!
I just couldn’t believe we were going to give TB one last chance, especially since all the pre-game talk was “whoever has the ball last wins”.
But alls well that ends well. :)
'much more doable'
4 times more do-able, according to the numbers, in fact.
at least one person here agrees with the number-crunching software engineer!!
I tried not to hold that against you ... :)
Also, 10 times more doable according to my stomach lining …
haha, word.
and i have a feeling belichick knows these numbers like the back of his hand. some of the time management skills of most other nfl coaches (TC included at times) makes me really, really cringe… especially in that ‘do i let them score’ situation.
i think we may be taking heat for telling it like it is, simply because people don’t want to admit that belichick really got the best of coughlin there. i’ve been trying to be polite, but in my mind there’s really no argument for what the giants did – that was a major, major screw up. it seems like Eli was the only guy out there that had a clue!
you don't even need the math
Bill Belichick wanted the Giants to score a quick TD. In other words, the great genius decided that was the Pats’ best chance to win. And Eli Manning agrees. That should pretty much settle that!

Completely agree.
2nd down, 1:04 left, Pats with only 1 TO. You kneel down twice, center it, and you should be kicking the winner with about 15 seconds left and Pats out of TO’s (they only have 1 TO, and you can burn 40 seconds after 3rd down play, and both plays kill about 8 seconds of clock, too). Most every team these days at the end of a game or in OT go for the extra-point distance FG (like we did in SF) in these situations.
You don’t even hand it to Bradshaw if you don’t want him to score. RB is bracing for the hit, and when the seas part, he’s got momentum at the goal line before he can think of stopping. Bad coach clock management. KG or TC, not sure who should be on the hook for that.
Ask Cowboy fans
if one of those extra point FG’s at the end of the game are a gimme. You could have a bad snap, bad hold, or a missed kick.
What I would like to know is if Bradshaw was instructed to not score by the coaches. I have heard that Eli said he was yelling at 44 not to score as he was running, but hey, we won. :-)

I heard
on the radio that Bradshaw and Coughlin both said that they did not discuss AB not scoring. Coughlin said he thought about it but was unsure of the right move.
I think we may not hear the real story as no one wants to throw anyone under the bus ...
in the afterglow of a Super Bowl win. Eli was really hedging his comments on NFL Network.
But you notice almost every team in OT, or last seconds of the game ...
once they get down to about the 10 yd. line start to line it up in the center of the field for the FG. They are all more afraid of the fumble than the missed PAT-like kick.
As for Bradshaw … can’t blame him. He’s bracing for contact which then isn’t there, and his momentum carries him. If you want to manage the clock properly, don’t even hand it to a RB, but do 2 kneel downs.
But like you said, hey we won !!!!!
I'm kind of with Ed on the "No WW's after a Super Bowl win" ...
but clock management is definitely a weakness of ours, and some day it will cost us. Seems so easy to fix. Have an asst. on the sidelines responsible for this stuff, and tee up the options, math and rationale for the HC, because he’s thinking about all sorts of stuff.

i would have had a heart attack if he didnt score

its not a 20% chance PAts get winning score
more like 3-4% if that. I suspect more end game FGs fail
Eli is our King!
I'm the biggest TC supporter, but he deserves a big, fat KWILLIE for this one
For getting absolutely OWNED by Belichick in his botched mis-management of the last 1:30 of that game.
With the wave of a finger, Belichick tilted the odds from about 98+% in the Giants’ favor (Tynes is 56 of 57 in his career from that range), to giving the patriots what was probably a 1-in-4 or 1-in-5 chance of winning the game.
By not kneeling on it at the end of the game, TC essentially did what he had to do to eliminate the chance of getting blame/attention for a loss, since it probably would have been on the defense if the Pats had scored a TD on that last drive.
did you not notice AB try to stop?
that was the plan.. AB is the one that messed up.
Regardless of what happens, No playoffs, playoffs, no superblow, superblow.... The 2011/2012 is one of my favorite Giants Teams of all time.
Yeah, AB deserves some blame too....
But very hard to get a guy to do that when he’s only 4 yards from the goal line (and wasn’t really sure if Pats were gonna let him walk in). I think that’s why you gotta kneel on it there.
I am sure...
AB had no idea that they were going to let him in. He hit the hole hard, as he should, and could not stop his momentum in time. Did you see his face as he was going in? Gravity 1 AB 0
Husker/Giants/Mets fan living behind enemy lines.
Yeah, he looked very surprised
Which probably means the thought didn’t even cross TC or Gilbride’s head (otherwise they probably would have just called a kneel-down). I know I’m nit-picking, but that was a major mistake in a critical moment, and I thought Coughlin really could have done a better job there – terrible management on his part.
I see your point, but disagree
TC was having his team play the game. The Pats did not bottle up the middle and I am wondering how much they were trying to stop AB. I do not like a kneel-down in that situation. In my opinion, it is cheap in that position. Plus, what if a FG gets blocked or Tynes misses. I am glad TC had his guys keep playing and got the TD. Even more glad that our D held the score.

Did you listen to the post game
Eli was screaming at AB to get down.. AB tried to get down. TC knows what he is doing.
Regardless of what happens, No playoffs, playoffs, no superblow, superblow.... The 2011/2012 is one of my favorite Giants Teams of all time.
I heard in the interviews that was all Eli though
If TC indeed called a lay-down, I’ll give him a little more credit (even though again, I think they shoulda knelt on it). I heard AB say that he didn’t have any guidance at all until he heard Eli screaming at him when he reached the 2.
TC said he wished he had time to go over it with them
Me, I think you can over analyze and out think yourself in these situations. You score when you can score. You take the 100% chance. Anything can happen on any play. It’s not Madden. It’s not a movie script.
I read someone else’s take on it and they said they everyone just should do their job. Offense’s job is to score, defense’s job is to prevent scoring.

Yeah, I understand that argument
Being a software engineer, I tend to take the pure numbers argument more than most.
The big problem with crunching the numbers: even though statistically, the Giants odds were WAY better if they had knelt on the ball and kicked a FG, those odds are based on ‘average’ situations.
There’s no number you can put on a ‘choke factor’, and it’s impossible to know how much more likely a kicker (or snapper) is to shit themselves on a super bowl game winner. If they’re 3-4 times more likely to choke, then the Giants did the right thing.
you'ld also have to look at only times a team gets the ball in like situations
I’ll tell you this
In the history of football, I only know of one time when a team scored a TD in the final 2 minutes of a championship game, when down by 4-7.
Eli
Warner got close with his at 2:45, but that was too much time. Then Ben was only down 3.
When the FG isnt an option, odds drop precipitously
Eli is our King!
That was Eli's call...TC didn't know anything about it...
AB said Eli told him to come up short of scoring…TC was happy they did score…The way Brady was getting beat up..59 seconds meant nothing…Yet still a thrilling end of a Super Bowl game…
"When I was a boy and I had no sense..I got my pecker caught in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair, tickled my balls and made me shit in my overalls..."
Um, no, he wasn't, and no, he didn't. Coughlin made it clear that he DID NOT tell him to go down.
Read the articles. Eli only told him AS he was running in to score. Really, really tough to stop in that situation. It was not told to him in the huddle. Geez, guys, get it right before you criticize.
Nah,
It was never even discussed if he should just go down or not. Leave it be.

This is real Football, not namby-pamby soccer. You take the points. If you have a chance to put 6 on the board, you put 6 on the board. Put the other team bown by 4, not 1. Kneeling at the goal line to run out the clock, and set up a FG is the weakest thing I see teams do. This game is built on Touchdowns. Except in the ‘90 Championship game, of course.
KG called a run up the middle, to get the team into the end zone. Eli wanted Bradshaw to wait, and run some more time off the clock, but it was too late. And I’m glad it was. AB had one of the coolest looking TD runs in Super Bowl history, and the Giants are the Champs because of it. Besides, 21-17 looks a lot better than 18-17.

I couldn’t have said that better! Look at all those flashy colors and numbers laying on the ground behind Eli and the Giants’ feet! Not only do I see a green 12 down there, I see a blue 12 twice, plus that red number 11… He had to be brought back down to earth. I like Alex Smith, being a Utah fan and all, but he’s not Eli. How about that black and red number 2? I’d put the Aqua number out there, but do the Fins even have a QB?
I love being able to tell all my Steelers and Chargers fan buddies how right I was about our pick in that draft. Even before hand, I said, “I hope we can get Peyton’s brother out of Ol’ Miss… Wouldn’t it be great if he ended up being better than Big Bro some day?” All I’ve heard since then is how good Rivers and Worthlessbuger are, and how weak Eli is. I stuck to my guns, along with my dad, mom, and sister. Our house has had two loud, exciting Super Bowl parties in the past few years, and I’m looking forward to a couple more!

When he makes the catch inside the ten and just puts his arm out and drives Arrington back 3 or 4 yards for the first down…impressive. Very impressive!
Hey, 'nywins46' sounds just as beautiful as we thought it would!!!
Is it wrong that I want to make sweet love to the holes that I've been punching into my Giants FatHeads all season?
what about the past few weeks when he has DBs diving at his legs only to bounce off and watch him go for a long TD?
Nicks is as strong as an ox.

Mook is gonna make for some tough decisions on TT and Ross
I think we’re gonna see the same ‘lowball’ offers on each of them. Also I remember him knocking Gronwkowski on his ass after one catch. Sure he’s hobbled but earlier in the game it still took 2 people to bring him down.
I’m thinking a JPP like ascension for him next year. Really. I thought he was simply that good going into the draft and now that he’s healthy he looks the part. A full camp and possibly a starting spot, he’s got it all there for him.
Last night, a comedian died in New York. Somebody knows why. Somebody knows
Ross, has a nice resume on paper
I expect a team will make a run at him, doubt he will be back. If we are lucky TT will slide under the radar and we get him back at a Cap friendly price.

can never be too sure
I’d say there’s a decent chance all 4 are gone. But we’re gonna at least have some cap room to resign at least one of them.
I think we’ll be fine letting Ham and Ross go given the depth at WR and Mook at DB. So that leaves TT and Goff. I think Goff is replaceable either with what’s here (Blackburn….) or possibly a veteran miniumum guy.
So that leaves TT. I dunno what he wants, but I know he loves it here and I doubt that he’s gonna be highly sought after.

I still think it's hard to say if 'ham is gonna get paid......
His name will be popping up all over the place, but NFL execs (or most of them) aren’t dummies, and I would assume the one-liner on Manningham remains “flashy, big play potential, but VERY limited”.
Knowing that Eli (and this organization) has basically made him what he is, does he take less money and stick around?
well....who knows....I think he'll go to another team just to be a starting WR...which he isn't here.

makes big plays, and screws up some routine ones
and i think that’s just who he is.
yesterday’s game was a microcosm of it – he was 1 for 2 on ‘coin-flip plays’ where it’s a tough catch in coverage (and he made the tougher one of the two – typical ’ham)… and made his typical 1-a-game route running mistake that drives us all insane.
i’d love to keep him around. but if it comes with a big price tag, it wouldn’t be the worst loss in the world.

but being there I can definitely say that our running game is back. We had our way with their front seven the whole day. Do not be mislead by several idiotic penalties (aka shit calls) and sacks (all of which were caused by solid coverage btw). Our lines balled out. If not for that call on Boothe, we would have dropped at least 30 on them. Jacobs and Bradshaw ran HARD.We could hear it in the endzone when they hit people.

No question about it.
Not that a punter would ever, ever win one…. but that first punt gave us 2 points, negated anything the pats would have done on the opening drive…. and the giants followed it up with another 7.
Think of it this way: in terms of points, what was weatherford’s value in this game over a replacement punter? 3 points? more? that’s remarkable.
I would love accuscore or someone to do a breakdown of it
And insert ‘average’ punts in for Weatherford’s. The outcome may very well change.

even though Tuck got 2 sacks and basically got the safety too.
and btw, i thought when a QB is getting sacked and Intentionally grounds it the player gets a sack?

JWill, Prince, Sash, Paysinger, Herz, Jones…all found some ways to contribute this season. Not like the 2007 class but impressive nonetheless. I hope these guys realize how spoiled they are to reach the heights of professional success in their first year in the league, and how blessed they are to be part of the 53-man crew that brought home the title is season.
JWill is the steal of the class…Prince should have a long future in the league.

Kudos:
1) Chase Blackburn/Reese for helping stabilize the LBs. Without adding Chase the Giants don’t make the playoffs. The dude hs earned a spot on the roster next year.
2) The secondary for taking it upon themselves to solve the Giants pass coverage woes. Their extra time spent meeting in their homes not only helped save the season but also Perry Fewell’s ass as well.
Wet Willie:
1) The medical staff for not properly diagnosing Ballard’s injury and letting him injure himself to a greater extent.
blackburn should get double or triple share he saved the season

back to next year
I think there’s a good chance that Ross, Goff and TT are all back. Ham — who knows?
I’m not sure any of the first three are going to command that much in FA. TT would have, but who puts out big guaranteed money to a CB coming off a serious knee injury? Also, Ross as a former #1 is probably already earning some serious money, and it’s going to be hard for him to step up when he’s clearly no a no. 1 corner. Goff had one year that was solid but unspectacular. He’s not going anywhere.
I know we draft solidly BPA, but I’d sure like to see OL and TE being prioritized. At the beginning of the year, i would have said LB, but i think we settled down considerably there. Still not great, but definitely serviceable, and I’m guessing the young ’uns will have more chance to grow.
Disagree slightly on Ross. I think he's gone. I think TT and Goff are back. Ham is going to get paid.
another FA is Kareem McKenzie. I don’t know if Brewer is up to the job just yet.

No kudos for Perry Fewell?
I thought he did a great job of scheming against the Patriots. As we discussed last week in this forum – the Pats have no deep threat, the Giants needed to clog the middle, and that is what they did, sometimes even dropping Tuck into coverage.
I give him a Kudos for making adjustments, but his first half playcalling was terrible.
I saw the dreaded 3 man rush with JPP at NT set. I thought we got rid of that shizz.

By adjustments, IIRC I saw less of that stuff in the 2nd half.
He went to less of a traditional Cover 2 and made better personnel decisions. They stopped putting Blackburn and Boley on Hernandez, opting to go with Grant or Jacquain and that worked pretty well. They put Ross in the slot, and for some reason that worked too.

hard to judge...
….when all the Pats had was a one-play drive that resulted in a safety into the 2nd quarter. The one true lone drive they had in the first half was a 4-minute drill at the end of the second quarter where they dinked and dunked us down the field like the ’02 Raiders…
I say ‘02 Raiders because dinking and dunking will only get you so far against a defense prepared to mitigate that facet of the opponent’s game.

They got that opportunity because our offense couldnt quite click almost all game
if they take it down and score at the end of 2nd Qtr, Pats probably dont get the chance
12-3 at the half or 16-3

Eli is our King!
They also bracketed Hernandez and Welker
So that it was a tighter window and a little indecision, since it wasnt always clear who or if they’d get bracketed
Lets also remember that the Pats played well, easy to critique a game plan when Brady is picking on it.

Tuck gave big ups to PF about the game plan
in his post-game interview on nfl.com.
i didn’t like the three man rush on the goal line on Brady’s TD pass, but other than that….hey, you held the Pats to 17 points. Pretty damn good i’d say
that's nice...
he’s been singing his praises pretty much since he got here.
and even when the Giants were ass on D and ranked 29th or 30th in yards, Tuck never said other wise.
what i’m saying is, what else is he gonna say?
Fire Fewell
when they were ass on D
Tuck was publicly questioning whether he should even be in the lineup.
I was, like you and many others a huge PF critic. But, gotta give credit to the result, and also acknowledge that’s a pretty good O and a HoF QB that was on the other side of the ball.
I have given big time kudos to Fewell for turning it around
I killed the guy after the Washington game and was critical of him all year.
But i did give say it’s on him for fixing it. which it is. if he takes the heat he should take the praise.
BUT, I still didn’t think this approach vs. NE was better than what he did the past 3 games.
I think it was a big help that the Giants ended up winning the time of possession too b/c it looked like IMO, BB and Brady were getting what they wanted vs. Fewell’s scheme.

i agree with this....this was a poorer game plan than the past three games

If we’re gonna play the What-If game, how bout the non-call pass interference on Manningham? Even Al Michaels saiid it.
WHAT about all the face mask none calls
i counted atleast 3 or 4 and dont even talk about the holding
hustle and hustle with muscle
i got in my car this morning and literally the first thing i hear from mike and mike is....
“you gotta criticize the Giant’s sideline for not telling Bradshaw to sit down.”
click.
i understand the debate point, but few teams ever lost by scoring touchdowns. you take the points, and make the other guy beat you.
this is the dumbest argument to come out of this
killing a guy for scoring a game winning TD. I don’t care if it was an extra-point distance FG, there’s so much that can go wrong there. If it was a tie game, it’s a different story, then run the clock out and bang the FG home at the end, but when you’re losing, you gotta score.
no even a tie
its not like it was 3:00
it was 57 seconds
Eli is our King!
i dunno, i side with eli on this one
everyone is absolutely KILLING eli on this one, for the idea that bradshaw should have gone down.
but I’m still with eli here – there’s a better chance that brady is gonna come down and score than there is of tynes missing an extra point.
i doubt it
history says Brady has 3% or so chance
its not the same as an end of half drive or any other drive
Eli is our King!
i posted this one above - an article today had the actual numbers
Giants kneel and kick FG: Pats have less than 4% chance of winning.
Giants score TD and kick ball back to Brady: Pats have a 15% chance of winning.
But I guess the one thing the numbers don’t have is the ‘choke factor’ – an extra point to win the SB is a little different than a routine one. But I still side with kicking an extra point over giving it to brady.
i'll bet you $1M their stats are wrong
check history for QBs that have had a championship winning drive when you must have a TD and less than 2 minutes. Thats the stat that counts here. Not some Tom Brady against the Bills stuff.
Only happened once, in 80 years or so, thats our King. So I suspect its way closer to 3%
Eli is our King!
ummm
So 3% is about 1 out of 30.
That means that there have been at least 30 super bowls where a QB has had the ball in a must-score-TD situation with under 2 minutes? I don’t know if I’m buying that.
Again, I really think Eli (and Belichick for making the call that he did) were 100% right in this situation. I understand that most think they’re smarter than Eli and Belichick, but I’m telling you that numbers-wise, those two had it right.
once in 80 years
I’m counting every championship football game
The numbers they are feeding you are horse manure, they don’t account for the right stuff. You have to just look at drives where the QB must have a TD, must travel 80 yds, and has less than 1 minute.
There numbers are from 2:00, so right away wrong, and then you have to account for the championship game pressure.
I think BB let him score, because he thought AB was going to score on the next play. Then he’d get the TD with 20 seconds left. But as the offense you take the points. TOO TOO many bad things can happen.
Eli is our King!
no team has ever taken the ball needing a TD to win the championship
with less than a minute on the clock
and driven 80 yds or there about. So once they had the ball at the 20, it was 0% based on history.
Only thing that could have screwed us was Tynes screwing up the kickoff. I dont know the stats if its only 50 yds to the TD, that would change the dynamics entirely.
Eli is our King!
in the last 30 years of football 2 times a team took the ball with less than a minute and needing a TD
scored a TD
I’d say the odds overwhelmingly favored scoring a TD
Eli is our King!
Screw the numbers..they won the Super Bowl...Who gives a shit about

I was having a one-way argument with Collinsworth about that
You don’t leave points on the field, period. Too many factors go into a kick, and if Tynes misses or it gets blocked, we lose. You put 6 on the board, and you make the Pats have to get a TD. We know what our D is capable of.
this is true.

You have no idea how many times
I reference you and your name to my friends and family during Giant games. lol
I don't agree with going for 2, though
It doesn’t help us to be 4 or 6 points ahead, they need a TD and would still be ahead if they got it. All it does is risk a turnover and them taking it to the house to give them 2 points.
6 forces them to make the XP if they score a TD...

Welker drop
I’m actually surprised he’s taking the fall so much for it. I thought it was a poorly thrown ball. He was looking for it over his right shoulder, and it was thrown over his left, so he had to try to make a circus catch while laid out and his body in rotation. Yes, he’s a stud receiver and he got two hands on it, but Brady could’ve made it a lot easier for him.
easier for a bigger dude, too, given where that ball was located...
….but Welker is 5’9"…a guy like Nicks doesn’t have to go up/back as far to snare it. A minor point, but after all, it is a game of inches.

talking heads
say he had to lead him to the left because if he put it right shoulder, KP would have closed on it and broke it up/picked it off.
it was a catchable ball
but it would have been a great catch
they failed on many plays picking on Welker is bull dip. What happened to their D? Eli went 38 on his first play from scrimmage
Eli is our King!
i heard that during the game
but it didn’t seem like KP was actually that close
I didn't think so either
but what do I know? Coulda caught it, coulda thrown it better, but hardly the keystone play of the game they’re making it out to be.
not to mention
even if they do complete that, there was time to hold them to a FG and have 2 minutes for a winning TD drive.
Moore committed interference at least 3 times of varying levels of flagrance
he doesnt even attempt to play the ball, he just chops the WR, but we never get those calls anyway
Eli is our King!
Oh, that reminds me, here's a Wet Willie
to Chris Collinsworth for laughing during I forget which Giants injury. I get that you can say that he’s laughing because of how ridiculous the injury situation was, but then he came back just a few plays later and laughed when the Pats had a great play.
Collingsworth
I also thought he was a bit unfair on the ‘Ham route. I think the ball was thrown out. It’s like he was ready with that comment based, not unfairly, on Ham’s past issues. But, i just didn’t think that was his route that dictated the path of the ball.
Ross should really get a Kudos.
Dude was LAYING the body last night. Loved his game. If he played like that all season and before, he’d of been a great draft pick.
No idea if he sticks around, but he had a pretty damn good season (shockingly enough).

I loved winning. Drunk and screamed myself so I can't speak. But...I do feel bad that Welker is a goat.
Amazing player. You could hear him crying underneath. Would have been better had it been out of his reach. Hate to see a guy who is a consummate professional fail like that. Also, I hate the fact that our fans were heckling Brady’s wife. I mean really, hold your damn booze and show some class. We aren’t those kind of fans. New Yorkers are supposed to show some class. Otherwise, put on a green jacket and head down the turnpike. Thugs and felons are welcome there.
Hey, she defended her husband. I hope my wife would do the same. Nonetheless, no way she should have thrown her husband's receivers under the bus.
They all lost that game.
True..
But she did it a) on video, and b) in front of all the other wives. I saw Willfork’s wife in he bunch, and I’m sure Welker’s and Gronk’s wives or gfs were nearby, too. I think if I had been Welker’s or Gronk’s SO, and she made that comment, there would’ve been some words exchanged to say the least.
This
But in her defense, it’s feasible that his WR should catch the ball when it hits them in the hands when she always catches Brady’s balls in her mouth.

There is a reason we have Coughlin and Eli leading our team, and a reason why our defensive spokesman is soft-spoken and humble.
That’s the Mara’s, that’s the Giants, and that’s New York. We play the game, we play tough, we play with confidence and we keep our gloating out of it. Celebrate, and don’t drag yourselves down to the level of hooligans. As fans, let’s represent how our team has been built. Tough, gritty, not pretty, but heroic. Can we expect anything less from a team, fans, and city with the lowercase ny? That’s why we are feared. Stay classy. Stay off the Pats site, stay of BGN. That sort of idiocy is for lesser fans of lesser teams. GO BIG BLUE!!!!!!!!!!!
It is also the reason we don't have receivers or running backs screaming they should get the ball all the time.

Gilbride
For the most part he called a great game. BB had the patriots concentrating on the wideouts and Gilbride had a bunch of plays called to guys like Ware and Pascoe and Hynoski and Ballard that totally undercut BB’s initial scheme. Even if the plays weren’t designed directly for those guys, he made sure Eli had multiple safe outlets on every play early on. But for the holding on Boothe we might have held the Patriots to three in the first by dominating the time of possession.

Add JPP to the Kudos
The stats don’t show it because he was double teamed all game, but 2 passes defensed at the line and 1 of his only 2 tackles was catching a running back from behind for a loss. He was everywhere. Also, did you see him just toss a Pat’s O-lineman aside like a rag doll during the last play of the game? We didn’t get to Brady as much as we would have liked, but seeing that kind of play going on in front him had to affect him, psychologically.
Bleeding Blue since 1962
I am not convinced Manningham is getting a big contract from somebody. Often runs the wrong routes, even after all his time with Eli.
He’s the third receiver on a great corp, and I think other GM’s will watch his film before offering up big bucks. He is way, way better off getting a good contract here and staying where he knows the players and the system. I can see him becoming an Alvin Harper in FA if he goes. I think there’s money to pay him what he is worth, and I do not see Goff or Diehl or McKenzie back. Osi is still under contract, as is Kiwanuka. No need to pay Osi OR trade him. Keep what we have, cut loose some vets that aren’t getting it done great anymore, and make another run at it. This team is built to win now. Sign Ham for reasonable money, draft a TE and a good lineman, and we are good to go.
I hope that's the case
Last night showed that if you’re gonna focus one one WR, then we’ll burn you with the other. And then you start keying on him, and we’ll go to the next one. And you still have to account for the TE. And when you have that all figured out, we kill you underneath with our FB. People talk about Brees distributing the ball well, look at what Eli has. We need to keep these guys together.
Ham will get a better deal in a simpler offense
Not everyone runs our type of offense where the QB and WR read the coverage and adjust the route during the play. That’s where he struggles.
Blue is the color of melancholy and honesty
Green is the color of inexperience, envy and nausea.
Alvin Harper
That didn’t work out so well, did it?
Manningham..I have said along that he was our secret weapon...Flying under the radar..He played huge...
During this winning streak..and alot of other folks out here felt the same way…He was clutch..throughout the whole run we had…

May I remind you other teams usually over value Super Bowl winning teams FA’s…. Remember that monster contract Gabril Wilson signed after our last SB.
Plus Manningham didn’t have a good season, this year, but he had two pretty darn good seasons, in 2009, 2010. Someone will pay him more to be their No. 1 or No. 2 WR

A few thoughts
First, the Giants won and that is amazing. I had the W/L right at 9-7 but never thought in my wildest dreams it would be SB. I was wrong and thanks for that.
The refs still make lousy calls. Collinsworth backed off but his instant reaction was right, it was a clear PI on Ham. Ridiculous call.
We got lucky recovering our fumbles and having one called back. Shows how much luck matters.
Ham is gone. After last night, thinking he won’t be courted hard by other teams is nonsense, Money and a guaranteed start position. Yes he is very good but VC and HN are better and I don’t think the GMen will want to pay up. Sad loss but I think it will happen.
Eli is elite and those still questioning that are liars and they know it. This coming from someone who did not think so. His most glaring accomplishment is reducing to almost NIL the number of dumb throws and turnovers. Maturity helps.
Beckum probably ended his time in Giants uniform with the injury. He will not be ready for camp and the Giants will be out for a new TE. Ballard and Pascoe will most likely stay.
Isn’t it refreshing to have an FB that can catch? Wow.
Those who clamored for Dodge to stay, hope you stay silent. You were as wrong as I was about Eli.
I still get aggravated about the lousy time management. How can veteran coaches and QBs make the same mistake over and over?
Perry ran a few 3 man rushes, I wanted to kill him. I was really hoping he would rush 4 on the hail Mary, did not. When will he learn, you cannot do that against good QBs?
Chase. That is all you need to say. If they don’t have him on the roster next year, I will scream.
What a season. Can you really ask for more? Considering all the injuries, it was even more amazing.
Now on to the draft and good players returning from injuries. Can you imagine we will be even better? When do we start.
All the Giants should play like Mark Bavaro.
TQ, DD and KMac Must Go!
TC, PF, KG, will stay but should go for the long term good.
It is equally worthless when people are always optimistic or always pessimistic. Either way I take their opinion with a pound of salt because I know they only have one setting. I post my own thoughts, not what either side wants to read.
Excellent!!!

Fuel was killing me last night
Can’t ask for much better than what we did with a 3 or 4 man rush. But it wouldn’t hurt to blitz once and a while. I hated the two LB package. I think it was on one of their TD drives where we had them pinned deep, but we didn’t blitz and gave Brady way too much time and gave them like a 3rd and 5. I was saying, and now we CAN’T blitz cause Brady is gonna dink it to that hole in coverage for the first, but Fewell’s gonna do it anyway. Sure enough, he did. I was fine with the first half plan, but I was hoping he’d make better adjustments in the second. Hopefully he studies this game a lot before the start of next season.

And I’d add Pascoe in the same way. We got a touchdown from the Bear in the championship and four catches in the Super Bowl from our THIRD tight end and tight end is one of our “weak positions”. You win when the role players step up and…..what is it they do again? Help please….

Holding Call
I know I am being greedy after a Super Bowl win but if that BS holding was not called on Boothe the Giants were on their way to rolling the Pats. They were running the Pats OVER on that drive and it would probably have been 16-3 at half opposed to 9-10.
On to the good stuff I love the Giant Animals(Rhino and Bear), they make the most of their limited opportunities and lay the wood whether they are blocking or running the ball.
I think all of you guys
arguing about the bradshaw touchdown are missing the point. When you listen to Eli and Tom after the game, it’s obvious that nobody wanted to kneel it twice and settle for the field goal. Eli told AB to go down at the half yard line to force the Pats to use their last timeout, and then he wanted to go for the TD on third down. I dont think anybody really considered letting it come down to a field goal with that much on the line.
Kind of makes you wonder then ...
why Belichick would call the “Matador” defense on that play. Apparently he liked his chances better with 57 seconds and 1 TO to go 80 yards for a TD, than ~10 seconds and no TO’s to go 50 yards to set up a long FG attempt. I, for one, don’t think he’s stupid.
Youre still missing the point.
Of course Belichick would like his chances with 57 seconds and a TO needing a TD for the win. I, and Eli, wanted Bradshaw to kneel at the half yard line and force Belichick to use his last TO. Then once we score, Brady only has 50 seconds and NO timeouts to get the TD, and I like our chances. Of course there’s a risk that we cant get six inches for the TD on third down, but even if worse comes to worse and we dont get it, we can always still let the clock run and kick the FG. Basically, we had nothing at all to gain by scoring the TD on 2nd down.
I agree with most of that.
One less TO for them would have been better. Not sure I still don’t like the trade-off of 40 more seconds off the clock for the FG instead of the TD. If they had only 10 seconds and no TO’s it’s Stanford Band time!
They should have stopped at right outside the goal line then score TD on 3rd or 4th down and make Pats burn their time out.

That's bullshit..You score the TD....period...

Plaxico shooting himself in 2008, losing to the Iggles and one and done in the playoffs. 2009 – getting off to a 5-0 start, all is well, then we get blown out by drew brees and the season was in freefall mode from there. I will never forget going to the last game at giants stadium and getting blown out by the MOTHER F*CKING PANTHERS?!?!?!?! WHY?? Then getting blown out by the Vikings the next week. Awful. Then 2010 came around, 31-10, all we had to do was finish the game to make the playoffs, but NO. We just had to miss a few tackles on vick here, blow an onside kick there, and let that skinny punk run a god damn punt return back on us to blow the game. Worst loss ever, hands down. Whenever that punt return shows up on the TV I always covered my eyes to avoid the horrible memories coming back. But its ok now, because those demons from seasons past have been exorcised. We just won the super bowl.
