When at the end of the game, the Giants put the ball on the ground 3 times and recovered all three. When the Giants need a big play, they got the "big play"....on several occasions. They got the big interception,. They got the great catch on the sideline. They got the key 3rd downs.
OTOH, on the key throw of the night, when the Pat were in position to seal the game. THEY got the drop. They didn't make the play. Even on the final drive, there were 3 catchable balls that were dropped.
No folks this was the Pat game to win. THEY were the better team, but because they also made the most mistakes. They simply didn't deserve to win that game. THAT's why Myra did let Gronk get that hail mary.
Now since I will go into mourning for the rest of this month. I leave you all with one question to ponder. Why does the league reward a team that creates a penalty to prosper from it. The Giant had 12 men on the field on the 2nd to lat play and despite the 5 yd penalty which basically doesn't matter, 9 seconds were lost to the Pats. If that's the case why not send out 15 guys for the next play, its only going to cost you 5 yds and another 5-8 seconds will go off the clock. See the guilty prosper. I think the rules committee should look into that.
See you guy in a month. It was a great ride. A combination joy and shame. An opportunity lost, but not because of bad luck, or that we weren't good enough. It was lost because we DIDN'T make the big play. Its as simple as that.
