What I still don't understand: how Rodney was playing Tyree. It's like he was standing beside him and let him catch the ball, then pulled him down by the arm. All he had to do was swipe at the ball as it came down, knock the damn thing away. So many ways that damn drive could have been stopped.

Now it's on again!

Even the title of the thread killed me.

I will never be over February 3, 2008. Never.

I got over Buckner. Not this.

The difference is that Brady calmly calls audibles while Manning flaps like a chicken, barks 11 code words, and makes sure every camera in the stadium has documented his once-in-a-generation (and patented, I believe) ability to see a defensive formation and change the play. Both have the same effect, but Manning transcends measurable human intellect while Brady merely chooses a different play.

Toss in Meriweather basically picking himself off on a play and allowing the Giants to convert a 3rd and 11 on that drive.

Even earlier in the game, Pierre Woods failing to secure a fumble. If he just laid on the ball or rolled towards the sideline, he would have hung onto the ball. Instead, he rolled toward the middle of the field, right towards Ahmad Bradshaw.

So many little things went wrong...

I got over Buckner in 2004.

Wake me up in 2015.

For those considering watching this game, buy this instead...

long story short.

We had a medical emergency that weekend. My wife was brought to A&E that weekend in a very bad way and was 16 weeks pregnant. I spent that evening/night in the hospital expecting very very bad news. She got better and now We now have a very healthy 18 month old boy who will be built like a brick ****house when he gets older

The only play of that game I was was the Tyrree catch. Its the only one I'll ever see. I now figure I owe Patriot nation something.
So I'll be sending over my child when he's about 14 to the US to start playing ball and repay the debt his family owes for losing that superbowl.
apologies, but every time I remember that weekend I say thank god.

Excuse my rambling.

I woke up at 3:30 this morning and turned it on unkowingly just after the Brady-to-Moss TD. I had to watch it again for some reason.

Asante was looking to keep his feet in bounds before he secured the ball...fatal error. I was surprised that Merriweather came thisclose to picking one off at the near end of that drive. I had just totally forgotten that. I still stuck around to see Hochstein get turnstiled and Moss try to catch a ball over the shoulder that he should've at least tried to "high point".

So many things...so many little things. That said, if this loss was the price to pay for three SB Wins, I'll take it. I just cannot believe that I watched this just about 32 hours after watching Kobe sink the C's. I may need to have my head examined.

Great story. Thanks for telling that one. It's good to hear of something far more important than sports that went well that awful night. Puts the horror of that #&%%#% Superbowl in perspective.
