February 5, 200817 yr Luck or not, you still have to call them Super Bowl Champs. Man, am I glad the Patriots lost!
February 5, 200817 yr That scramble of Ely's and the subsequent pass/catch was absolutely luck. If anyone puts that up to either Ely's or the receiver's skill, you're kidding yourself. The throw was weak and he should have been sacked. The catch was only possible because the defenseman's knee broke the receiver's fall. Had he fallen directly onto the grown, the ball would have touched and they would have called it incomplete. It was definitely a great game. Lots of pressure on Brady and certainly a surprising outcome. But the Giants' offense was weak. They caught some lucky breaks.
February 5, 200817 yr You know, quite a bit of the Pats' regular season games boiled down to luck - look at the Baltimore game, and the Philly one. Luck's not always such a bad thing, and personally, it was immensely satisfying to see it catch up with the Pats.
