    It still wasn't that close.

    Just heard that Bradshaw didn't hear from Eli to not score until while he was handing off the ball that would be tough to comprehend when your'e so used to just charging into the end zone.

    I'm just amazed that it was only a 50-1 bet. Considering there have been 8 safeties in Super Bowl history. Not sure how many of those led off a game.

    Still, he should have been aware of the situation.

    One that I can think of. Super Bowl IX.

    May have been one in Super Bowl XXI too. I seem to remember one early in that game. In fact, I want to say it was 10-9 at the half, too.

    Gronk was injured and ineffective going 2 for 26.

    the Giants had 114 yards rushing to keep Brady off the field and the clock running.

    But a Blackburn int. and recovering 2 of your own fumbles ( Giants) certainly helps LOL


    I still dont understand why half you guys picked the Pats,and by such large margins? Historically in this big game, stats for the most part dont lie and history has proven that not having a key starter in a game is a detriment.

    the game was close relatively speaking, but the Giants did win for all the right reasons. Better defense and more weapons on offense.

    yeah, there was no dramatic juggling bobble to stop time LOL. Just the usual bat down/ knocking down the stupid desperation pass and then-time to celebrate !!!!!

    Awareness only accounts for so much. If he'd been clear by 10 yards and had no one in front of him, I'm sure he would have stopped. But he wasn't expecting the Red Sea to part. That's one reason the "let them score" strategy isn't used until they're close, because it's much easier for that to happen from 6 yards than from 10 or 15. Even if Bradshaw had been able to stop, Jerrod Mayo was going to shove him into the end zone.

    LOL I wish that would have happened, that would have taken 3 valuable seconds away from Brady...doing that stupid madden junk where a guy runs in front of the endzone and then finally goes in

    Based on Rivals rankings. 36 of the 53-man roster for the Patriots were ranked by Rivals since its existance. 18 of those 36 were ranked 0-2 stars when they were being recruited.

    If they would have batted it down like what is preached it surely would have been a TD for the Pats. New England actually had it executed well if there is ever such a thing on a Hail Mary other than luck. They had two players in the front of the play waiting for the Giants to swat the ball down/forward...they just weren't close enough to the play.

    which is basically a rating on physical ability I assume....Belichick seems to do a great job of finding sacrificial smart guys..but thats also a detriment at some skill positions. You need a few physical/fast/athletic freaks in the mix to really scare the other team...obviously, 5 SBs means it works, but the last 4/5 years,thats surely a factor why they didnt finish number 1 ...and I wouldnt be surprised if Gronk doesnt last many years in NE if he doesnt get rid of the kid in him that jumps around shirtless at clubs LOL

    they do mention trying to form a 4 man box in hail Mary situations for that reason

    He'd have to do a lot worse to be kicked out of NE with what he brings to the field.
