What. The. Hell?

OK. So maybe it isn’t all that mysterious.

The bottom line is that the Giants simply played better. That’s right, and the good news is that this was actually a good game. It wasn’t decided by horrific penalties. Or flukes. Nobody was injured. And the decision wasn’t really certain until the very end. It was a really good game to watch.

Well, unless you were a Patriots fan. Not so much because they lost, but because of how they played. Well, that isn’t completely accurate either. The defense held the Giants to only 17 points. Against this Patriots offense, that should have been more than enough. With Brady, Moss, Welker, Stallworth, Faulk, and Maroney … surely they should be able to score more than 17 points. Right?

Right?

No.

But before we dissect where the biggest guns to come from Boston since they stopped making battleships up in New Bedford went wrong, lets just take a gander at the defense.

Harrison was everywhere. Merriweather did a pretty decent job for a rookie in his first Super Bowl. Hobbs will catch heat for getting beat a couple of times, but what defensive coordinator leaves 5’9″ Hobbs one-on-one with…
