<p>Cuz, you know, like we tell our kids…nobody’s perfect. ;)</p>
<p>Seriously, hat’s off to two great teams…great ball game!</p>
<p>It was very cool. Go, Eli. Best team ever? Yeah, right.</p>
<p>My house went absolutely insane, Bullet and DS were hugging and jumping around, DD was running around calling friends who are pat fans. DS’s girlfriend and I were just laughing at all of them.</p>
<p>You would have thought they were just given a million $$$</p>
<p>I will say the last minute was the most amazing minute</p>
<p>Not only do we tell our kids that no one is perfect, but we also tell them that football is just a game. ;)</p>
<p>(Now soccer, that’s a different story. 
)</p>
<p>1sokkermom: Yes!</p>
<p>Nice change of subject from our friends in New England.:)</p>
<p>I was born in NY, and husband is from Connecticut with a family with lots of Giant fans. :D</p>
<p>Sad one, here, from New England. After the game, S said, “Even football is like college admission - a crapshoot!” And I thought he had completely forgotten about college. :)</p>
<p>Congratulations, Giants fans!</p>
<p>Need recipe for crow
Crow will be served for dinner tonight at our house. During the depths of the mid-season dismal play of the Giants I confidently told my son that the Giants will never win the Super Bowl until Eli Manning and Tom Coughlin are gone. </p>
<p>It was a great game - one of the best Super Bowls ever!<br>
(Although, I must admit that part of me was hoping to see history made with the first 19-0 perfect season.)
The defensive front 4 should have been co-MVPs. They were the major difference in the game.</p>
<p>FF–my S and my H have disagreed over Manning forever–S kept saying he was developing, H determined to see nothing but disappointment there. He finally caved after the first NE game back in December. He’s a true believer now!</p>
<p>I agree, though, about the Defense–they won us the game. but that Eli to Tyree pass on the last drive–the eluded sack and then the catch–unbelievable!</p>
<p>What a great last minute. 93’s sack was huge. The pass breakup on the bomb to Moss was huge. Smith’s catch for a first down was huge. Plaxico’s/Eli’s TD was huge. O-line protecting Eli was huge. D-line pressuring “the best quarterback ever” was huge. </p>
<p>Team sports championships will always be won by the team. Lots of names should be on that ball.</p>
<p>Absolutely great game. And thank you, Giants, for representing the NFC.</p>
<p>To Mountains,</p>
<p>Our house was the exact opposite, after they won my DS screamed I’m going to XXXX (his first pick), his attempt to mimic, “you’ve won the superbowl, what are you going to do next…I am going to Disney Land”</p>
<p>Garland:</p>
<p>Soccer fan here. I’m only now beginning to understand American football. 
It’s taken 40 years.</p>
<p>Exactly, Curmudgeon. That was one of the best team efforts I’ve ever seen. People in our neighborhood were lighting off fireworks last night. Very, very exciting. I’ve been saying for years that I miss Phil Simms, but Eli slipping out of what looked to be a sure sack & his pass to Tyree was amazing.</p>
<p>Disappointed Patriots fan here. But the Giants EARNED it. Eli’s evasion of that sack and Tyree’s (sp?) unbelievable catch will be on highlight reels for time immemorial.</p>
<p>Our offensive line could not do the job. End of story.</p>
<p>Sticker–did you know Tyree’s a local boy? (Montclair). Nice to see him make good.</p>
<p>Went to our usual Super Bowl party last night, where there is generally much chatter and it is more quiet for the commercials! The opposite was true last night as this game became positively riveting. Even the womenfolk came down from their gabfest in the kitchen to watch. (Editor’s note-check my screen name before you feel insulted. I am the only woman who always watches the whole game-I know more about sports than most men I’ve met.) When Manning threw the touchdown pass to Plaxico, I was already in mid-air screaming “YES!” as soon as I saw the coverage developing. The men were still in mid-sip of their beers. ;)</p>
<p>No, Garland. That’s cool. My reaction to the gazillion page coverage of the Super Bowl in the Star-Ledger was to tune it out, so I missed that one. The catch was amazing. I know my little guy will be begging to go to the ticker tape parade tomorrow. I’m actually tempted to say yes.</p>
<p>Maybe this is old news, but here’s a nice article about the cousins who played against each other in Sunday’s game:</p>

<p>Tuck was outstanding with the sacks.</p>
