'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.

Star-divide

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.

Hynoski

played out of his mind. He should have been on that list.

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.

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.

by mclaren_is_the_best on Feb 6, 2012 11:26 PM EST up reply actions  

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.

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.

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.

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

he gives the team a lot of confidence and swag. I remember in 2009, when we were getting blown out left and right, you’d see guys laughing on the bench and still smiling. With him in there its much different. If he doesn’t like someones play/behavior he will let them know it.

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.

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.

by Shofner85 on Feb 6, 2012 1:27 PM EST up reply actions  

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.

Hopefully Reese has Ross’ replacement already in mind, and it tough to fathom that he doesn’t.

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.

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.

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.

by tulls200 on Feb 6, 2012 12:25 PM EST reply actions  

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).

by tulls200 on Feb 6, 2012 12:30 PM EST up reply actions

I don’t fault Nicks at all. His first priority was getting the first down. We had 3 down. They had 2 timeouts.

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.

by tulls200 on Feb 6, 2012 12:37 PM EST up reply actions  

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.

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.

by tulls200 on Feb 6, 2012 12:45 PM EST up reply actions  

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.

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.

Wrong

If AB takes a knee and Pats call TO there’s 57 seconds remaining the in the game. On 3rd down Eli takes a knee with the 40 second play clock bring the game clock down to about 15 seconds. 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.

Tynes has had a couple of field goals blocked, we already had Weatherford bail us out on a bad snap in S.F.

Amen Rorshach44

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

But

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.
Go GIANTS!!! Go BRADSHAW!!! BELIeve in the ELIte!

Yes

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!
Sadly, we called my uncle in Jersey after the game, as we always to when the Giants win the dance, and he and his wife were already sleeping. WTF?

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.

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.

it went largely unnoticed from the TV standpoint

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.

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.

Brewer will have a whole off season of camps to develop and show TC and the boys what he's got.

I think Mac’s contract being up may dictate things as much as anything. Maybe we look to the FA market at RT for a mid-level kind of guy, or if Brewer shows ‘enough’ then we can matbe roll with the young guy.

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.

….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…

when they were ass on D

Tuck was publicly questioning whether he should even be in the lineup.

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'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.

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.

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.

I’m actually surprised he’s taking the fall so much for it. I thought it was a poorly thrown ball.

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!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

Blackburn

All through the first half of the season the Giants were victimized down the middle because the linebackers weren’t getting back into coverage. And there was Blackburn last night, 40 (50?) or more yards down the field to make the play. Fantastic!

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.

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.

by BigBlue9091 on Feb 6, 2012 3:37 PM EST reply actions  

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.

by YankeeDudeL on Feb 6, 2012 3:43 PM EST up reply actions  

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.

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

by Late for Dinner on Feb 6, 2012 9:22 PM EST up reply actions  

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.

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.

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.

by JohnKreese on Feb 6, 2012 4:40 PM EST reply actions  

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.

by dannyboy95 on Feb 6, 2012 5:26 PM EST reply actions  

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.

by Shofner85 on Feb 6, 2012 5:48 PM EST up reply actions  

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.

by dannyboy95 on Feb 6, 2012 6:08 PM EST up reply actions  

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!

Quite frankly, we deserved this victory after the past 3 seasons

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.
