It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Put it this way, i didn't hear anyone say the giants were lucky to win those two Super Bowls, especially the first one. Besides it wasn't luck that butler made the int, it was study and practice. Usually years down the road no one remembers how or why one team won the Super Bowl, they just remember Who won it. The Pick will overshadow the two drives that put the pats ahead and it will be remembered as a great play, not a lucky play.Im sorry if this has previously been discussed by man im so sick of reading about how "lucky" the patriots were to win the game. I've talked to a whole lot of unbiased viewers and the common theme is that the patriots were the better team for 3 of the 4 quarters.
The most annoying part is you hear the haters talk about how lucky the patriots were to win because of the bad play call that lead to the Interception.
It annoys me because if the Seahawks somehow manage to finish that final drive and score then the narrative will be how the Patriots deserved to win but the Seahawks had an all time flukey/lucky catch to put them in a spot to win the game.
I'd actually have the Super Bowl no other way. It was one of the most satisfying endings I've ever seen in sports. The fact that we let up another miracle play but overcame it this time was so fitting. I can imagine the headlines if they scored. "KEARSED" would probably be what I saw the next morning. What happened was amazing. The reverse of David Tyree happened and some demons were exorcised. Loveddd it, regardless of whether any "haters" cry that we were lucky.No offense to anyone who feels differently, but I couldn't possibly care less if people see our win as "lucky."
It's about time we got some good luck! The past 2 SB losses certainly went the other way. You need luck to win the SB, at least at some point during the stretch run, anyway.
I only talk to fans of football teams with 4 Lombardis or more. Sorry, but if your football team doesn't at least have 4 Lombardi trophies, I just can't be seen talking to you. Too embarrassing.

I actually really, really love the hate right now.
It just seems to make it sweeter.

For The Win, Brother!!
Great video.
One question I don't think that has been asked (or at least I haven't seen it), if Butler takes a knee in the endzone after the pick, can he feel very certain it is a touchback? Or did he make another good play to punch it as far outside the endzone as possible (to play it safe -- as the spot could have been 5 blades of grass outside the goal line or even a BS safety call)?
