Before I start, I'm sorry for the profanity in the headline. But right now, there is really not much else to say. The Patriots had the game, with a drive starting inside their own 10 with around 9 minutes to play. The problem with this drive is that it took around 5 minutes off the clock, but it only get them to the 50 or so. This left around 4 minutes for the Giants offense to drive down and score (and on the scoring play, the Patriots let Bradshaw walk in. Great moment in coaching, but not great enough).
I can probably write 4 pages on what actually happened in the fourth quarter, but right now, I really do not want to. Both teams were deserving of a win. Brady threw an ill-timed interception, and the Giants recovered two of their fumbles. These are the ways football is, and these are the reasons we love the game. Right now though, I am at the absolute low. This was the Patriots game to win. No one can argue against that. No one with a slight hint of football IQ can say they played a worse game than the Giants. Giants had a few lucky bounces, and better execution during the last 9 minutes. The Patriots drop to many passes and throws too many interceptions. End of story.
On hiatus until whenever.
