Williams wasn't carrying the ball properly.
It's still making a play. When a CB or safety gets an INT, it's usually because the QB didn't throw the ball that well - but they still have to make a play.
It isn't luck. Neither was Evans "dropping" that pass - the db just made a great play.
How come NO Mediots are talking about how "Lucky" the Gints were to have the 49er Punt returned FUMBLE the ball IN OT on their own 24 yard line....SETTING up the chipshot FG for the Gints to win it????????
All I have heard ALL day on BSPN (and NFL Network) is how the Pats were lucky that Evans dropped the ball....and how lucky we were that Cundiff hooked his try for a FG to tie it up....and that we "lucked" into a win.... How about Moore pulled the friggin ball away from Evans to start with????
All I hear about the Gints today......Eli is elite.....His performance was legendary.....They outplayed the 49ers......They took the game away from San Fran.....Talk about BIASED reporting and coverage.....
I guess this is bulletin board material....but just pissing me off!!!
GO PATS! WIN IT FOR MHK!!!!
didn't realize that forcing a fumble was lucky
i also don't hear about how the Pats were lucky as well
Then you must be deaf, dumb and blind.didn't realize that forcing a fumble was lucky

Too much is made of luck anyway, imo. There have been years when there were jauggernaut teams, that made the SB & won fairly easily. Pretty much every other year, it comes down to some luck, and often, a lot of luck, to actually win the thing.
That's football, that's sports. "Around the Horn" was lamenting that both games were decided on "negative" plays. Please - they were 2 great games, with good teams who took advantage of opportunities.
It's the old adage - sometimes, it is better to be lucky than good...
One more item of "luck" for the Giants was the fumble/non-fumble call regarding Bradshaw. So, that's really 5 major breaks for the Giants.
Then you haven't been listening much... Most everything we do is lucky, right down to the schedule...
5 major breaks? I'll give you the ball that bounced off the knee... but the truth of the fumble was that forward progress WAS stopped and the whistle blew before the bal came out. So your reaching for straws if your trying to make that point
Without luck (Helmet catch, no calls on blatant holds), the 2007 Patriots would have gone 19-0 and would be considered by many to be the greatest team in NFL history. Sorry, but the notion that too much is made of luck is not going to sell here.

None of it is reaching for straws, and you're showing your bias on the Bradshaw call. The reality is that, at the worst, that was a 50/50 call that would have been upheld on the field had it been ruled the other way.
