Game Day Thread The official Patriots vs Giants Super Bowl game thread

This is football right? Why do we get girly music like Madonna?

A TD put Eli under so much pressure, it would be perfect.

Dont you know Eli is the best 4th quarter QB in the history of the league ?

 

[WhoaDirty]

That halftime show needed more M.I.A. and less Madonna.

Brady is at 120 passer rating.......... he's not losing this game. Bring on the 2nd half.

 

[Brock Samson]

Hoping for an epic second half after an epic drive to close the first half.

Do the Giants try an onside field goal to start the 2nd half

I hope so. Give Brady a short field.

 

[PatsFan24]

The ending was good. I hope they bring Guns N Roses to do the halftime next year. The original line up.

 

[Seanzayyy]

Brand new ballgame. And we're spotted an extra point. I like our chances.

Do the Giants try an onside field goal to start the 2nd half

Good call. They seem rattled and with Brady being 15 of 18 why not. 30 yards won't matter

The D-line needs to get more pressure on Eli. A sack or perhaps a FF returned for a TD would be nice.

Also please run a FB or TE screen in the hopes it catches the Giants off guard.

The NE pressure has been pretty good... better than their counterparts in NY.

I would like to see them display better gap discipline against the run and tighten up in that phase of the game.

I hear Goodell likes girly music.

 

[farn]

Madonna : go hang out with your grandchildren.

Hope to see TFB light it up in the second half.

 

[Patters]

Pats came back from 9-0. I think we're the better team, and we'll win bymore thana td.

 

[SVN]

Well after that last drive I would expect the Giants to make some major adjustments.

I think the giants are going to start bringing more pressure. No prevent D like they played in the 2 min situation. Cannot make mistakes now on offense...

 

[buile]

Gotta protect the ball. A turnover could be a huge game-changer.

 

[derF]

Can someone please stuff a sock in Collinworth's mouth...I'm sick of listening to him tell us how good the Giants are and how much the Pat's suck!!!

 

[BritPat]

That half time show was tosh. The worst bit was the duet with Jamie Dukes at the end.

No this is fine. Keep the game in front of the defense and don't give up the long play

Reiss reporting Vollmer was at RT for the first snap (the safety where he got badly beaten) then gone until the last four snaps of the last drive of the half.

Interesting.
