I actually thought that, by now, we would all be cured and ready to move on with life. I guess I was wrong. All I hear from my fellow Pats fans is "What If, What If, What If?" For those of you who find yourselves second-guessing every play from last weekend, let me tell you something: It wasn't meant to be. Once you're able to understand that, life will be so much easier. Trust me.
Ok, look. Just think about all the lucky plays that went in favor of the Giants. Yes, Eli Manning should have been sacked on that miracle play in the fourth quarter. (To tell you the truth, that still makes me sick.) And then, on top of that, his receiver makes a ridiculous catch, by securing the ball on top of his helmet. I thought hell was freezing over. Right after that play was made, I just knew this wasn't the Pats' year.
The Giants were a team of destiny. Tell me they didn't remind you of all the other Pats' SuperBowl teams. Remember all the little things we had work for us? The Vinatieri kick in the snowbowl? 9 times out of ten, that ball doesn't even make the crossbar. (I'll bet my full-scholarship on that one) But that year, it was meant to be for the Pats. It still gives me goosebumps.
So what I'm saying is that, there is really no way to stop destiny. Not even the '85-'86 Bears' defense would be able to stop destiny. It's just too damn powerful.
There's no changing the outcome of that game last weekend. The Pats are gonna learn from it and it will only make them better in the future. Believe me.
