[OFFICIAL] Get Over Superbowl Loss Theory...

[NEPatriot]

SB42 lost is mystery to me.

That giants win was such a fluke. The thing was if you compare the pats to the giants on paper the pats NO QUESTION are better. I'm so sick of the worse team winning.

Well, apparently the Pats forgot the "paper" because they were outcoached and outplayed.

I can't get over the fact that people are still tearing apart the 'O' line...when the Pats had the lead with under 2:00 to play. True they only scored two TD's the entire game but they were playing a damn good defense that night and still managed to pull ahead with a clutch touchdown. The Giants had only scored one TD to that point. They wanted it more? Please...

One spectactular Giants offensive play to keep a drive alive and the inability of the Pat's 'D' to stop the Giants on that same final drive after that catch is what this game came down to. Not so much horrible 'O' line play.

The Pats had 7 points with 3 minutes left. The Giants had 10 points. Which sounds more far-fetched? The O-line sucked hard. All there is to it.

It's a shame that Brady could stand up straight enough to take us to 18-0, then the line has one bad game (due to the speed of the Giants' front four) and all of the sudden, they suck, they're terrible, and we need to draft rookie linemen. Great thought process, there.

I'm not sure who you are addressing but IMO the O-line sucked hard THAT GAME.

Which sounds more far fetched? The O line sucking hard or the bottom line? The Pats D couldn't hold a four point lead under two minutes to play.

A near miss interception...a near miss sack...a spectacular catch...a blown coverage resulting in a touchdown...they knew what was coming next and the Giants D closed the door. Game Ovah!

That's all there is to it.

On to the Draft!

The O-line sucking hard was more far-fetched. The D let the same crap happen last year. They have been suspect in the 2-minute drill all year. They gave up a lot of passing TD's in the red zone. They give receivers an 8-yard cushion even on the 13-yard line.

Now I'm confused...oh well

I agree with what you are saying..that's what I was saying...I think...the D was more the issue...know what I'm saying?

I think you are less critical of the O-line where I am less suprised of our D's collapse - hence I hold the O-line more responsible.

I was addressing the entire board. Yes, the O-Line sucked THAT GAME. But to dismiss them as terrible then say we need to draft more O-Linemen is ridiculous especially when you consider that they blocked for a quarterback that set the record for touchdowns this season.
