Man, that was some finish! After a really boring game for 3 quarters, the final 10 minutes were un-freaking-believable.

I’m glad that Brady got shut down. He showed, once again, that even a little bit of pressure in his face will make him an average quarterback. He also showed that he doesn’t have the arm to throw to Moss. That last deep play where the ball went off of Moss’s hands… another yard further on the throw and Moss is home free, TD, Pats win. Tom Terrific is human after all.

He’s still a great QB, and the 2007 Pats will go down as one of the best teams in history. Let’s be honest though. The defense was overrated. The offense was the difference, but the Giants blitzing scheme was a great match for it. After watching the Eagles nearly pull of the upset of the century, I had the Giants circled as the only team that could shut down the Brady/Moss offense.

Even then, though, I thought the Pats had this one in the bag. Never would’ve predicted a Giants win.

Another thing: that catch by David Tyree after Manning somehow escaped the Pats rush… man, that’s why I watch sports. Great finish. Congrats New York Giants!

BTW, did anyone see Tom Brady congratulate Eli Manning after the game? Or was he still a classless jerk at the end?

Watching the classless, absolute a-hole move by Belichick, going for it on 4th and 1 with a 28 point lead, I have to say that a bus crash or some other misfortune will be in the Pats future if they keep this up. There was no honor or necessity in going for it on 4th and 1 with that lead, none. Don’t give me any BS about how the game isn’t over until it’s over and how any team could come back. It’s the Bills and you’re the Pats, with the football equivalent of the 2000 Yankees lineup. The Bills are not coming back, and you’re going to put up more points.

The Patriots have no class. They continue to show it every week. This is just the latest example.

Just saw this on ESPN.com’s front page poll:

Now, as an Eagles fan, I’m predisposed to not like New England, but this is a pathetic penalty for something the league considered a point of emphasis this year. I know I’m a few days late to the story, but it’s been a bit busy and, quite frankly, it still amazes me that the Pats get away with something like this with a tiny slap on the wrist.

It’s bugging me so much so that it’s My OneThing! on my Facebook page:

The NFL should be ashamed that they would suspend Wade Wilson for 5 games for a violation that didn’t affect the competitive balance of his team’s games, but Belichick, who was cheating, gets no game suspension and a more affordable fine. It’s disappointing, to say the least.

I’ve written about this before, but the New England Patriots are truly the least classy “dynasty” in modern sports history. I’ve never seen a bigger bunch of whiney, sorry players with as much talent as they have. LaDainian Tomlinson was right to get mad, and it’s no surprise the Pats acted like this. The Pats are ridiculous, and it starts with the coach and the veterans on that team who consistently play the victim. There are very few franchises I don’t respect. The Pats are one.
