Damn, the Giant couldnt hold on. Every Pats player comes up big when their teams need em. Forget randy moss, forget brady, how about Kevin Faulk? That guy caught two passes on crucial third down plays and fought his way to a first down. Atleast on one of the drives, had faulk not made the 1st down, pats would have settled for a FG instead of a TD and the score might have been 35-34 giants win rather than 38-35 pats.
Well well well.... this is what I said on Oct 15th.
Pats: 16-0 - Any takers?
Go to page 1, and read reply #20 right after my post for a thesis on why Pats won't be 16-0. Oh well :) Guess, sometimes the gut feeling does turn out true. I should have bought a lottery ticket instead. Damn!

Colts, Eagles and Ravens were in perfect position to upset Pats and end their streak, but they blew it in the fourth quater. Pats deserved to go 16-0 because they played the entire game, moreover Bill Bellichick should be applauded for palying his starters till the end. Brady, Moss combo should go down as one of the best in the NFL. Let's see if they can win the Superbowl.
Ryan Grant's two fumbles gave Seattle an early lead of 14-0. Game was in Seattle’s favor, but Farve and his team came back in a big way. Ryan Grant shook off those mistakes and put a record 201 yds and 3TDs for Packers.
Green Bay 42, Seattle 20
Green Bay has not only shown resilience in this game, but also the ability to show strengths in all form of game. Green Bay was having trouble with their ground game, but with Grant having a breakthrough season, they are all set to face their opponent in NFC Championship.
Quarterback, coach, ground game, wide receivers and defense.
New England 31, Jacksonville 20
Jacksonville Jaguars fought till the end, but it wasn’t enough for the perfect Patriots. Tom Brady nearly went perfect with 26-28 262yds and 3 TDs. One of the memorable ones was when Brady caught the snap, jumped with his empty hand that fooled almost the entire Jacksonville defense, than he shifted the ball from his left hand and threw a remarkable 6-yard scoring pass to Welker.
New England is going to AFC Championship. We are arguably witnessing one of the best, if not the best, QB, coach, team, wide receiver to ever play the game. This is history and for this team it is just another game. Although their defense is old and slow as compared to Colts, but the motivation and hunger in this team is always present. They come to play and play to win.
and Rivers taunting the fans was inappropriate...i know fans taunt him too, but i think as the athlete it was much more distasteful on his part
im sure the pats will make it to the superbowl (and probably win) but i REALLY dont want them to win... i just don't like them and i know tom brady is all that and whatever, but eh...just dont really care for him...i bet you're right about it being a Pats/Packers superbowl
San Diego Chargers stunned Peyton Manning and Indianapolis Colts 28-24 in a thriller. Chargers played most of the second half without LT and Philp Rivers, who played an amazing game. Both Chargers and Colts have worn each other down. San Diego needs LT and Rivers to be healthy for the next game.
Manning’s two interceptions, one near the end zone, had a lasting impact on the Colts. Antonio Cromartie’s interception and fumble recovery, and line backer Merriman rush kept Super bowl MVP away from his explosive self. Chargers have won a gutsy one, but the journey is about to get even more difficult when they face the all mighty Patriots on road.
Eli Manning came out of the shadows of his father and older brother’s name. Manning who gave a match winning performance stunned the Cowboys in a 21-17 victory. Eli Manning threw two touchdown passes to Toomer and led another scoring drive early in the fourth quarter. Even if his stats don’t show greatness, Manning showed the nerves and leadership that was necessary for the Giants to win this game.
Tom Brady had another tough outing against the Chargers, but Patriots still were too much for banged up Rivers, Gates and minus LT. New England won 21-12, which sent them back to Superbowl. It was expected, but Patriots now have chance to become the first team ever to go 19-0.
Brady was shaky and Moss was a non-factor, but with the help of Laurence Maroney, Wes Welker and Kevin Faulk, Patriots were able to beat San Diego.
NY Giants 23, Green Bay 20, OT
This Manning performs in the playoffs.
New York Giants are going to Superbowl. They have won 8 straight on road to reach the big game.
Eli Manning shook off cold conditions to put the Giants in position to win the NFC Championship when Tynes FINALLY came through with his 47-yard field goal in overtime. It was the thrid-coldest championship game ever. Brett Farve and Packers were also cold, after touchdown of Donald Lee, entire team came out cold, uninspired and shaky. Farve interceptions, on at the end zone and other in the OT, did the final blow to Green Bay.
