So, we now have moved well beyond the initial shock and pain of the worst upset in NFL history and, as fans, what the hell are we left thinking about this whole debacle?
It's simple: it's the difference between WANTING to Win and EXPECTING to Win ... and we all know who those apply to.
The Patriots and our ego-maniacal leader expected to be competitive with the Giants, that their skill and intelligence would get them what they wanted, but they forgot that you have to go out there and take it. So what if Matt Light made the Pro Bowl, he played that game like he was entitled to stop the G-Men with that small honor and whatever skill set he wielded. That was NOT enough ... Asante Samuel held out in the pre-season, had a strong regular season, but showed nothing in the Super Bowl ... the ball HIT HIM IN THE HANDS!!!! That is a play that, once again, a Pro Bowl player NEEDS to make! I could go on forever with this!!
The G-Men, except for the Juice Box guy, deserved to win the game. My thing with the Juice Box guy is also rather elementary ... with the amount of time the Patriots defense allotted him, you could have thrown in Jared Lorenzen and still won the game. Give any NFL quarterback that kind of time in the pocket and they will eat a team up ... look at what the Eagles did!!
I'm sick of the Super Bowl and the crap that went along with it.
NOTE: I did find it rather amusing that once the Giants took the game that the 'Spygate' junk that resurfaced just prior to the Big Game took a back seat and has consequently fallen off the radar quite a bit!
