Patriots Vs Giants (Super Bowl XLVI Gameday Thread)

They haven't had the same defensive talent since they let Richard Seymour go. Since then they've had no pass rush, and they haven't built up the secondary to offset that.

 

Well I still hate the freaking Giants but congrats on winning the Super Bowl...bastards...

 

should have paid asante

 

congrats to the giants and their fans.

 

You're freaking telling me.

 

This.

 

Random thoughts.

1. Good game, but not the best SB, IMO.

2. The halftime was better than I thought it would be. Not a train wreck like I thought.

3. Kelly Clarkson was far better than Christina (I forgot the words) Aguilera, but not as good as Whitney Houston's version in 1991.

4. Next year's SB is in NO. After that, it's in MJ. I bet they get either Bruce or Bon Jovi for that halftime show, since both are from NJ.

 

I thought the game was kinda dull until the last 4 minutes.

 

Seems like it went a lot faster than normal...

 

I think they started earlier too.

 

First quarter was over in basically right at half an hour I remember.

 

Is the SB the only NFL game out there where the pregame lasts longer than the game itself?

 

Fastest first quarter in NFL history according to ESPN...damn.

 

I thought it was moving fast. Usually it's not over until after 11:00-11:30 with all the hoopla that follows.

 

Well there was pretty much only 1 team playing in the first quarter so it makes sense that it went twice as fast.

 

yep, the first half was incredibly fast, and really the whole game in general, because both teams were dinking and dunking with high % short passes all night, so it was basically like a game where both teams were running the ball every down, which keeps the clock moving all the time.

the giants only got the ball 8 times in the game (not including the kneel at the end of the 1st half) and the pats final drive was only their 9th chance.

In an average NFL game, both teams usually get closer to 12 drives per game and the game ends up taking a lot longer in real time because of it.

both teams had extremely conservative offensive game plans and it made for a quick game (and somewhat of a snoozer except the last few minutes)
