Offense sucked as the the Special Teams. Defense did their job, well, as good as they could
Other than one meh punt, the Special Teams wasn't bad.

And you can also argue that the defense could not get the Giants off the field fast enough because the pats average starting position after punts was like the 13 yard line. The Welker drop did not end the game, the defense could have ended the game but not surprisingly the Giants marched up the field.
as good as they could
Didn't score 20 pts in the last 2 SB's.
This is the only reason we lost! Did you think we would win without scoring 20 pts? I didn't and bet you didn't either.
Defense did their jobs in both games.
Let er rip........
Look how effective 32 year-old Andre Carter was before he got injured! Draft a damn pass rusher! I'm tired of watching the likes of Eli Manning, Rex Grossman, Vince Young, and Chad Henne move up and down the field!
The offense really put the defense in a hole by running 1 play on their first drive and then giving the ball back to the Giants with that stupid safety. It allowed the Giants to use up too much time and didn't give the defense a break. It was 9-0 and almost the end of the 1st quarter before we ran our 2nd play from scrimmage.
One more thing .. the time of possession ... Giants had the ball for 37 mins basically due to their running game (they weren't much of a factor but helped in keeping the ball away from our offense).
Patriots offense was hampered by an injured Gronk, lack of a good RB and a deep threat. Also, we failed to pressure Eli through pass rush.
However, I never thought this team with this defense would ever go to the SB this year, let alone coming within one play of winning it all.
So, for those who want to whine, you have to understand the game of football and how tough it is to play during big games like the SB and score more than 20 points. It's incredibly tough.. don't go by regular season stats.. everyone is playing their best to win in the SB.. from players to coaching ..
lack of a good RB .
the defense was ok...but failed when most needed (the last drive)
offense was mediocre, and at times inept, and also failed when needed (their last two possessions of the game)..
the better TEAM was the Giants, and they won....
you can say that IF the defense held on the last drive AND that if the offense had scored on the last possession, the game would have been won....excuses could be found on both sides...I say it was a TEAM loss.....
needed upgrades on both sides of the ball.....

I f you're just looking at points then maybe the D did their job. But the bigger picture is the fact that every time our offense got the ball back we had terrible field position
