Inexcusable, but then it never should have gotten to that point. Allowing Eli to escape a third down sack and launch the ball downfield for a completion was equally inexcusable, and besides - holding the Giants to 17 points should have been enough by the defense to win the ball game. I'm sure if we had known for sure coming into the game that NE's defense would hold the Giants to 17 points, virtually ALL of us would have been completely sure of a Pats win.
