Super Bowl XLII

[Ultimate Charizard]

Dude, that play in the 4th earned Manning that MVP. I couldnt see anyone else on the field that individually deserved it. The Defence won the game for them but it would have been unfair to pick one guy from that effort.

It showed he wanted it when alot of QB's would have felt the tug on their shirt and closed up to take the hit.
Gotta love an underdog, just wish id had money on it lol.

Right, well now thats all done with, just in time or the new Rugby League season to kick off next weekend

Gotta agree, that play right there when he was able to get out of the sack and made the big play felt like I was watching Tony Romo play in the Super Bowl.

This is simply a load of BS. Both teams played the sloppiest games I have ever seen. The Giants just so happened to play less sloppy. That's why they were able to pull out a win tonight.

And the only reason Eli made it as far as he did was that no one pressured him during his plays. If the defenses were playing their A-games, Eli would have been sacked or forced to throw the ball away every single time he chose to keep it with him. He simply had the opportunities handed to him on a silver platter. It happened during the Week 17 game, during the entire postseason, and tonight.

Eli getting the MVP is utter bull. It makes me sick to my stomach just thinking about it, especially considering who his brother is. I don't care if he threw the game-winning TD - he doesn't deserve it. Hell, the way both teams played tonight, NO ONE deserves it. But I guess this means the family isn't going to disown him this year...

Alright, that's enough venting for one night.

What does that guy have to do to get some credit?

Seriously. Ill admit i dont watch much Football but everytime i watch him im impressed. You dont see many QB's, especially those as slow as him willing to try running the ball himself when the options arent there instead of lobbing off a wild pass and giving up interceptions.
You can tell the way he plays hes trying to prove people wrong. Anyone that says hes just 'Peytons little brother' or that hes just not that good etc.

The Giants defence worked their asses off. They proved that Brady is human. Put enough pressure on him, force him to rush etc and he screws up. The patriots are only where they are because other Defences werent able to close him down, or perhaps the Offence blocking let him down tonight. Either way the Giants took advantage and deserved it.

Too bad he's too busy crying everytime he loses to even bother getting far in the postseason.

I'm sorry, but I think Romo is overrated and that T.O. is the main reason why everyone thinks he's so good (also Glenn and Witten make Romo look good too).

Not to start an argument but i think the same of Brady. Sure, hes good but hes not THAT gifted. Noone walked into this season predicting him to be such a dominant force. He has alot of receiving options and his Protection is good. All he has to worry about is getting the pass on target.

[Mr.E]

Peighton certainly didn't deserve it last year, but Eli was deserving it of this year even if I think Tuck was a little more deserving. Eli played a strong game. His only INT wasn't his fault at all and he didn't buckle under the pressure to take his team down the field in the last two minutes to win the game, plus "The Escape."

And Brady reminds me a lot of Aikman. Above-average during the regular season at best (aside this year) but he's very, very tough in the postseason. And while I certainly never complained about having a QB as capable as Aikman in Dallas' backfield all those years, he's not quite "all-time" material. Brady is no GOAT either.

And lol, I'm not sure Belichick was smoking when he went for it on 4th and 13. In FG range. Up by four.

I'm sorry, but I think Romo is overrated and that T.O. is the main reason why everyone thinks he's so good (also Glenn and Witten make Romo look good too).

Yep, Glenn made him look really good this season...

[Perfect Chaos]

Yep, Glenn made him look really good this season...

OK, maybe putting Glenn in there was a little much (not even sure if he played that much this season, don't follow the Cowboys), but definitely T.O. and Witten

Yah, Belichick definitely showed his arrogance to another level today. In the post-game interview he gave to Fox, he barely acknowledged the game today and just said they didn't make enough plays, gave no credit whatsoever to the Giants. Classless if you ask me.

Well he was back in the locker oom before the game was over but tbh I lost any respect for that man when he challenged the penalty in the first half.
I mean fair enough, technically they had 12 guys on the field but the guy was like a foot off the touchline, was in no way interfering with play and Belichick even had the nerve to wait to see the result of the play before he decided to call it.

When you set out to win on minor technicalities u deserve what u get.

[mr_pikachu]

Honestly, I don't mind the penalty thing; it's part of the game, and the Giants got careless. That's the sort of thing that should've been called by the refs in the first place, which is exactly why they have the challenge system. Belichick was obligated to take advantage of the mistake, and I can't hold it against him.

But storming out before the game is over - and showing up both the Giants and the whole event in the process - is just pathetic. No wonder players think they can get away with behaving like children when their coach pulls a stunt like that.

Thats all I have to say

[DarkTemplarZero]

I'm debating who was the least valuable player during that super bowl, Asante Samuel or Mayweather. Both of them dropped what should have been easy game-winning interceptions on the Giants last drive. That and those idiots that had Eli and then just threw them backward so that he could throw a long pass to Tyree, who caught the ball with his fucking helmet.

Honestly, I can't find a way to pin that game on Brady. Regardless of how much the Giants defense knocked him down, he never lost his composure, and when it came down to it he lead his team down the field for a TD with a little over 2 minutes left. He might not have played his best game, but I respect him a whole lot more now then I did before. Really, the Pats defense just choked at the end.

And yeah, that 4th and 13 play was extremely stupid. It's not like their kicker is freaking Lawrence Tynes, Gostkowski's one of the best kickers in the league and he's pretty damn solid from 48 yards. Plus the Pats offense was stalling, so why give up a shot at 3 points? And seriously, I can't blame Belichick for being pissed, so much pressure to win the game and they came up short, if I were him I would be pretty damn frustrated too. Besides, he didn't get to be the best coach in the league by being nice; sportsmanship is just what happens when you get used to losing after all
