    This is crazy talk. It was a close game the entire way. yeah, there was no scoring. So it was like a pitcher's duel. Fine by me. And with every passing minute, the impossible became more possible. How was that not captivating?

    I cannot believe people who remember a decade's worth of complete Super Bowl duds can call a game in which neither team led/trailed by more than four the whole way a bore.

    I'm still waiting on the photo of the 1972 Dolphins clicking champagne glasses.

    Exactly - this was one of the great Super Bowls. The entire game was a white knuckle ride.

    I agree, it was a wonderful game. The Patriots offense trying to figure out the Giants defense for three quarters was compelling television.

    Well...what do you have to say for yourselves, New England?

    Yours truly,

    The 1972 Miami Dolphins



    (sorry, had to endure a five-hour drive through a snowstorm and listened to Boomer and Marv on radio, so I missed all but the last 1:49 of the game, which was the best part)

    Though sometimes the NFL likes to go inter-conference. Baltimore and Cincinnati aren't exactly attention-grabbers, though.

    Giants were #5, Redskins #6. The "Road Warrior" tag is valid, though.

    Not that it takes away from what they accomplished by winning three on the road ... but actually, Giants were the 5 seed and had locked up their spot with a couple weeks remaining. Redskins were the 6 seed.

    Colts won their division, but did have to play in the wild card round.

    Holy Hell, am I the only one who is listening to Keyshawn Johnson? He more or less suggested that the Pats have to upgrade at every position. I understand that they weren't good in tonight's loss, but suggesting across the board upgrades--including the wide receiving corps--is the height of knee jerk stupidity.
