Re: Fuuu... 

What a great, great game.  Best Superbowl yet.

About time.

Most annoying quarterbacks to watch:

  1. Peyton Manning
  2. Tom Brady
  3. Eli Manning
  4. Everyone else

Why can't any of those three just take the snap?

Loved it. Note that Romer suggests you should kick on 4th and 13 from the 32 (though if you are going to go for it, it's one of the best places on the field to do so).

Going for it - with the lead?  No.  Take the 3 (if you can get 'em).  Even if you miss, your field position's not bad.  Missing on 4th and 13 feels like losing - bad for the team psyche.  Miss a field goal, blame the kicker - no problem.  Miss a pass, blame the quarterback - big problem.

4th and 2 is a different kettle of fish, of course.  But 4th and 13?  Just a bad call.

Good call Daunt 

Not too many people picked the Giants, but you did.

Back in the day, you just put a man in motion. If somebody shadowed him, they were in man coverage. If nobody followed him, they were in either a zone, or a very loose man-to-man. And that was it. Either audible to a second play if they're in man, or run the play you called in the huddle. All the rest of this business is rubbish. Stamping the foot, tapping the helmet, pointing at linebackers...I half expect one of the lineman to turn around and say "Yeah, I know. I'm blocking that guy. Got it. Now say 'Hike' and we'll see if our little scheme works."

The triple escape by Manning, circus catch by Tyree was one of the best SB plays I've ever seen.

Lots of Philly people picked the Giants 

But that was just because we promote the NFC East (unless it's Dallas. It's a violation of a local ordinance to root for Dallas.)  Fabulous, well-fought game. And Bellichek is a majorly sore loser.
