Second year in a row Flacco has had a beautiful go-ahead touchdown pass dropped by his receiver.

From the angle I saw, the receiver didn't drop the pass and the defense didn't knock it out of his hands until after he had control in the end zone. I was incensed with the refs for the blown call.

Actually, I would say the Patriots have the better receivers. Welker and the two tight ends they have are amazing.

The Superbowl will come down to the Patriots offensive line vs the Giants defensive line. The Giants defense relies on getting pressure with just their four lineman. If they have to blitz, it'll leave them vulnerable to short passes and will give the Patriots the chance to win.

Remember that Gronskowski has a high ankle sprain. He will be AT BEST 65 percent.

There is no question that Victory Cruise, Hakeem Nicks, and Mario Manningham are better than Wes Welker, Deion Branch, and Ochocinco.

You are right though. The game will be decided in the trenches. It almost always is. But Eli Manning will make superhuman plays when the game is on the line. Brady won't. Eli makes superhuman plays when he is pressured. Brady breaks down and will at times throw ridiculous interceptions just so he doesn't have to get hit. Which is why it is so stupid the Ravens didn't blitz him at all last week. They would've slaughtered them if they would have. But for some reason they played coverage.

And they somehow missed the defender flat-out molesting Dennis Pitta for the entirety of the route the next play. It was simultaneously illegal contact, defensive holding, and defensive pass interference. Yet the ref missed calling any of them.

Tom Brady choked. Back to back plays on the penultimate drive he had receivers very open and probably would've won the Super Bowl if he threw good passes on either, but he threw terrible passes for both. Yes Wes Welker really should've caught the ball, but the ball could have been so so much better and probably a touchdown with a good pass. The second one to Branch was really bad too. He could've hit him in stride for a touchdown.

Tom Brady has never had a game-winning touchdown pass in the playoffs.

And Eli Manning is the second best quarterback in the league. (Aaron Rodgers)

It goes:
Aaron Rodgers
Eli Manning
Drew Brees
Joe Flacco
Ben Roethlisberger
Tom Brady

Well, if Peyton Manning comes back he is either 1, 2, or 3.

Brady's receivers should have caught the stupid ball. After all, Brady only hit them in the hands.

Anyone else think that the game was a bore? Except for the last three minutes anyway.

Kudos to the Giants.

Only flipped through to check scores. (Lost on the pool again. *sigh*)

Didn't even watch the half time or the commercials.

Enjoyed the game - I thought Halftime was boring (zzzzzzzz)

The commercials were boring. They were the wrost bunch (collectively) I remember. Although "We Go" the dog was cute.

QFT.

That ending was perfect.

The only thing that would have made it better was to see Springsteen do the halftime show again. Would have made it a perfect day for me.

Congratulations to the New York Giants. I hope that you and your fans enjoyed your visit to Indianapolis.

Nice to see Eli get a second ring.
