Also the Giants had absolutely no running game. The worst ranked rushing offense in the league in 2011 and they still got 114 yards on us in the Super Bowl. Bradshaw was a sub 4 ypc running back and he had some nice runs including the game winning TD.Got to disagree, they were pretty bad because they couldn't get off the field. Giants were converting 3rd down after 3rd down. The time of possession was almost 2:1 in the Giants favor.
Ditto with the 1st Super Bowl. They were terrible given the amount of missed opportunities for turnovers Eli and the Giants tried to give them.
Spikes penalty also wiped out a fumble recovery that would have prevented a Giants TD.
The defense was bad that year. Pats were getting torched by guys like Dan Orlovsky Chad Henne and Vince Young. Even had some trouble against Tebow in Denver.
Eli Manning had a 74 rating in 2007. And beat us. Amazing.
