The Super Bowl
Well it wasn't a shootout like many thought it would be and the game was a bit sloppy at times (Brady's intentional grounding for a safety on the Pats 1st series) but overall it was a decent game but I wonder what the game would have been like if Gronk had been healthy. His high ankle sprain was pretty obvious that he couldn't move like he had all year. Again at the end of the game with the hail mary, could a healthy Gronk made the circus catch? It is all hard to say and not worth speculating about. The point is the two catches were pretty good for Gronk and he was only targeted three times says to me they didnt want to risk losing him all together. Anyway enouh of my boy Gronk. The 4th quarter of this game had plenty of drama and made you forget a lot of the early sloppy play. Both defenses had come to play but in the 4th it was the Giantd defende who came up big when they stopped the Pats on three straight plays at the end of the game. Welker and Branch had dropped passes that they would normally catch but I still think the Giants D had a lot to do with those dropped passes. The funniest part of the game came when Bradshaw scored the go ahead TD all while trying to stop his momentum from carrying him into the endzone. The defense decided to let him score. The Pats were out of timeouts so it was the best way to stop the clock and get the ball back to try and win. Normally I would agree with the call but I think it was too late no matter what. Anyway congrats to the Giants they proved to everyone that they had the right momentum heading into the playoffs. I contribute it to a nasty defense that was finally healthy and firing on all cylinders. Sure Eli won the MVP award but I think Justin Tuck was the big man on campus during Super Bowl Sunday. He pressured Brady into the intentional grounding Safety and had a very big sack at the end of the game that forced Brady into a position to have to make it or break it on the last play of the game. All I have left to say is bring on Baseball's Spring Training. I am planning on attending three games this year on the East Coast So Lets do this.
