1. Why is the greatest offense of all time only able to put up 14 points on the scoreboard?? JM what kind of gameplan was that? It became pretty obvious that the Pats could not do anything to run in that game. But we insisted on wasting our first downs by handing off to Maroney for no yards. Leaving only 2 downs for Brady to get a 1st and leading to punts.
2. In a 7-3 game, why on god's green earth do you not kick that field goal? I know it's a 45 yard field goal, but that's hardly unmakeable. 3 points is better than 0 points. We have those 3 points in our back pocket and we're looking at overtime instead of a desperate drive with 30 seconds left on the clock, and ultimately a loss.
3. Who in the world called that defense on the last play of the Giants go ahead touchdown? Why would you bring the entire house and leave just a single man, one on one to try to stop the red zone scoring machine Plaxico Buress? At the very least he should have been doubled in the endzone, tripled if possible. Instead the Pats gambled when they didn't have to, and LOST the gamble big time.
4. Hobbs was burned like a torch all night long, most memorably by Buress for the gamewinner. I'll say it now, and I'll say it again, Hobbs is NO starting corner. He should be a nickle on this team at best. Pats need to acquire some real DBs, especially if Samuel ends up leaving. There's only so much DB weaknesses that the DL can disguise.
5. Our offensive lined performed like whipped dogs. Hochstein was a human turnstile. It was extremely frustrating to watch. I mean what the hell happened up front? Brady has no chance to win if he doesn't even have time to get off a throw.
6. The Pats just let ANOTHER Manning win the Superbowl. I mean wow, just take a moment to take in how disgusting that thought is...
7. The Giants DID get lucky on some big plays on the final drive. The 4th and 1 conversion, and especially the long pass to Tyree. The Pats should have called timeout to regroup and think it over after that play. Instead they let the defense play it out and ultimately lose the game.
8. 59 seconds to victory and then they give up the TD to Buress. This was the ONE game the Pats played only 59 minutes. And it cost them, big time.
9. Whenever they mention the Super Bowl on TV and Late night shows I have to change the channel. It's just too disgusting to look it or listen to.
10. We couldn't run, we couldn't pass, and we couldn't hold the Giants when it came to crunch time. In sum, the New England Patriots, our favorite team, CHOKED in the biggest game of the year. And this feeling totally SUCKS! I don't know how to fix near-perfection. But it was anything BUT perfect, in the game that really mattered.
