Mike P, please see the other threads where I give props, well deserved, to your NYG!
As far as one having greater meaning than any other one, i think that the PATS, to a man, would say that they all carry the same significance ~WORLD CHAMPION. Once you get into the rarified air of multiple Lombardi's by essentially the same core group of individuals, i think that the winning of them is what counts and not so much whether or not a perfect season preceeds the ultimate goal, or not.
How many times did they say "It is/was not our goal to go 19-0" ? To them and me, the perfection thang is more important to the media and the story writers than the achieving of each season's Primary Path, the Path to the Lombardi. I still maintain that this season, as it stands, is one for the record books and one for History. They shattered records, they continued their legacy, and they have much more to accomplish, in the years and games in front of them.
Cain't help it if the truth hurts!
Did ya see the part, above, where I agreed
that the best team WON on Sunday?
That performance, for BOTH teams, does not change the Truth about each team's regular season, post season, or the perceptions of them at those times. Most people picked the NYG to go 5-11 after their abyssmal start, right? Coughlin's and Eli's jobs were questioned more than once during their '07 campaign. The Pats, rightly so, were considered by 95% of the experts to be the GOAT in the QB, HC, and TEAM Departments. This concept of their Greatness did not happen overnight, nor can it disappear that way! Stay tuned, PATS fans for additional Days of Greatness are on the horizon.
So, because of Sunday's result do the team's all of sudden do some sort of flip-flop down is up/up is down sort of one game a franchise makes or breaks each of them? I doan think so! The Pats WILL continue to be dominant, providing we maintain our core of veteran players and leaders. Does this one HURT, Hell Ya! Gonna be a while before I'm over it, lads!! I have moved from denial into pain, though, so there is hope
!
CONGRATULATIONS to the Giants for finishing the deal and pulling off one of the greatest upsets of all time. Also, they played their tails off and kicked NE's tails the whole game ~from coaching, to execution, to confidence, and to the final deserved result. WAY TO GO, GEEE-MEN!
What's next, a Manning vs Manning SB?
OHHHH Gawd! I think i just puked in my mouth,
DISGUSTING
