Midpoint check: Super Bowl odds

[Kontradiction]

Giants didn't win that last SB by luck, it was well deserved. Our execution sucked, theirs was brilliant when it mattered. Brady taking that safety was just wack---he had plenty of time to throw and had receivers open underneath, but he got greedy and wanted to go for a home run play like that 99yd bomb to Welker in Week 1 at Miami.

And its not the Welker missed catch that bothers me, its all those low percentage target throws to Branch that ended up being easy deflected incompletions for the Giants. It just seemed like the Pats never could get Hernandez into a rhythm to take some of the pressure off of Welker. Pats coaches just couldn't adjust and maximize Hernandez and utilize effective screens to Benny/Woodhead knowing Gronk was 25% healthy.

Our execution sucked, no doubt. But the Giants had A LOT of luck go their way. If any one of those fumbles goes to the Pats instead of directly to Hynoski like a magnet to metal, the complexion of the game changes.
