Agreed. 1 TD on any of our drives after the opening 2nd half one would've put the game away. 1 FG on any of those drives would've made it extremely tough for the Giants.
Plenty of opportunities, failed to capitalize.

Tough game between 2 evenly matched and eqaully flawed teams.
Giants made the plays and deserved to win.

Yes three FF fumbles and no recoveries. One dismissed by a penalty. The other two somehow recovered by New York. Brady also forced that throw on the INT. I know he's not faced but he had no one around him he could have picked up decent yardage. Then their was the safety which killed a potential drive. Wes Welker and to a lesser extent the drops by Branch and Welker really hurt. Wes' especially.

What kills me is the Welker missed catch. I thought the defense overall did a decent job keeping them out of the endzone. However when the giants had the ball and the pats only had a 2 point lead I knew we were cooked. No way the pats would be able to keep them out of FG range.

Toughest thing in sports is when you have a devastating loss like this when it's so close..if you're going to lose, lose in a blowout...the close ones always hurt more IMO

Spot on Deus. There's nothing else that needs to be said, written or spoken about.

This game was kind of a compilation of deja vu's from throughout the season. When it is said that one play doesn't determine the outcome of a game, this game is a collection of a dozen or more plays that illustrate the concept. When we need a 1st down, we shoot ourselves in the foot, if we need a stop on third we give up big yardage. It happened throughout the season and continued tonight. Won't say too much more tonight, kind of emotional, but throughout the game I kept thinking that we learned very little from our mistakes during the season.

Sad but true..The Welker drop was the game.
