well I heard the Bill could be classless, but being they don't play the giants except once every three years or so, you'd think bill would have gained some respect for the giants and their coaching staff after this game and to show respect, I would think he would have stayed on the field till the last play was played
I guess he really is a sore loser

Oh, I don't know, honor, integrety, being a man about losing a tough game. That's just me, I guess. I'm sure opinions vary.

Nah. Light just had a bad game, but he is great LT. They are going to lose Samuel and possibly Gay so they will take a CB. They could possibly look LB too if they trade down.

When I saw it I thought that the game was over too. I guess he didnt see that there was a second left on the clock. If it was anyone other than Billichik they would get a pass. Billichik's history precludes it.
Isn't he the same guy who refused to shake Dungy's hand? The same who thought it funny to order in and leave popcorn all over the visitors locker room when the defeated the Cowboys? So, anything he does in the department of a sore loser or arrogance wouldn't surprise me. I shouldn't gloat, but I can't say I'm disappointed.

I hope our D can step up like that too. I would love to see it. This is what happens when you have two dominating pass rushers.

Psh we have them beat! The most users ever for us was 1,493 on 4/28/2006. I wonder how many guests we had then?

lol, good point.
Tough gig being a Cowboy fan right now. I'm not trying to cheap shot them, but I wonder if some of the more, well, less mature ones are pissed about the HOF inductions + the Super Bwl outcome right about now. That isn't directed at any Cowboys fans that post here either (just to be clear).

yep had a field goal that they should have tried instead of going for it on 4th down. Mike Martzish type coaching there
Personally, not really! I believe that we were the better team when playing the Giants, but didn't handle our business. So, the best team on that day won, and continued on to the Super Bowl--and congratulations are in order. I don't have a problem hating in the rivalry when we play each other, but, beyond that , that I have no problem being a united front in the division.

I can't even begin to imagine the psychological damage of going 18-0, then leading the Super Bowl with two minutes to go, and then losing. Seriously, that's the kind of thing that can mess your mind for life.

Wow, that was just sick. I don't think I will sleep tonight since I am still too jacked up. All I wanted was a Giants / Cowboys rematch and for the Giants to take out the Boys. I never in my wildest dreams would have thought this team could have went all the way. I definitely wasn't expecting them to beat the Patriots. The whole game I just kept waiting for the Patriots to take control of the game. The way they won was so awesome. The defense kicked their arrogant a**es ... and to think Brady was offended that Plex predicted that the Pats would only score 17 points. It turns out Plex was giving them too much credit and made the winning catch to boot.
How bout them Giants!!

How the Giants OL never held on the play is beyond me. 1:14 left in the game, 3rd and 5- down by 4.....what a great effort by ELI and a heck of a throw/catch!!!
This is what I was thinking all game. The Giants IMO had the best shot at beating the Pats because they have the best DL and had been dominant all season long. Gotta pressure Brady. We saw that today and that's the biggest reason why the Giants were in it and won it.
Kinda cool when you think about it... Texans are being built to be very similar. 1 pass rushing DE away from our secondary looking good!

Somehow, this seemed appropriate.
The outlook wasn't brilliant for the Mudville nine that day;
The score stood four to two, with but one inning more to play,
And then when Cooney died at first, and Barrows did the same,
A pall-like silence fell upon the patrons of the game.
A straggling few got up to go in deep despair. The rest
Clung to that hope which springs eternal in the human breast;
They thought, "If only Casey could but get a whack at that
We'd put up even money now, with Casey at the bat."
But Flynn preceded Casey, as did also Jimmy Blake,
And the former was a hoodoo, while the latter was a cake;
So upon that stricken multitude grim melancholy sat;
For there seemed but little chance of Casey getting to the bat.
But Flynn let drive a single, to the wonderment of all,
And Blake, the much despised, tore the cover off the ball;
And when the dust had lifted, and men saw what had occurred,
There was Jimmy safe at second and Flynn a-hugging third.
Then from five thousand throats and more there rose a lusty yell;
It rumbled through the valley, it rattled in the dell;
It pounded on the mountain and recoiled upon the flat,
For Casey, mighty Casey, was advancing to the bat.
There was ease in Casey's manner as he stepped into his place;
There was pride in Casey's bearing and a smile lit Casey's face.
And when, responding to the cheers, he lightly doffed his hat,
No stranger in the crowd could doubt 'twas Casey at the bat.
Ten thousand eyes were on him as he rubbed his hands with dirt.
Five thousand tongues applauded when he wiped them on his shirt.
Then while the writhing pitcher ground the ball into his hip,
Defiance flashed in Casey's eye, a sneer curled Casey's lip.
And now the leather-covered sphere came hurtling through the air,
And Casey stood a-watching it in haughty grandeur there.
Close by the sturdy batsman the ball unheeded sped
"That ain't my style," said Casey. "Strike one!" the umpire said.
From the benches, black with people, there went up a muffled roar,
Like the beating of the storm-waves on a stern and distant shore;
"Kill him! Kill the umpire!" shouted some one on the stand;
And it's likely they'd have killed him had not Casey raised his hand.
With a smile of Christian charity great Casey's visage shone;
He stilled the rising tumult; he bade the game go on;
He signaled to the pitcher, and once more the dun sphere flew;
But Casey still ignored it, and the umpire said "Strike two!"
"Fraud!" cried the maddened thousands, and echo answered "Fraud!"
But one scornful look from Casey and the audience was awed.
They saw his face grow stern and cold, they saw his muscles strain,
And they knew that Casey wouldn't let that ball go by again.
The sneer has fled from Casey's lip, the teeth are clenched in hate;
He pounds with cruel violence his bat upon the plate.
And now the pitcher holds the ball, and now he lets it go,
And now the air is shattered by the force of Casey's blow.
Oh, somewhere in this favored land the sun is shining bright,
The band is playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts are light,
And somewhere men are laughing, and little children shout;
But there is no joy in Mudville mighty Casey has struck out.

I acknowledged as much. My point was that I thought that the Cowboys were the better team during the season in the division, but didn't step up to the plate when it matters the most. Aye, the Patriots were the better team all season long, but didn't step up to the plate when it matter the most. Do I hate, heck no, we didn't close, so get behind the team that did. The best thing for my team, now is learn from what wasn't done this year and try to build for the upcoming season. Again -- Congrats to the G-Men.

Sometimes these coaches get a little too cocky and arrogant and do the stupid thing. It's a 48 yard FG in a stadium with a roof, your kicker has hit from 52, kick the damn field goal. I said the same thing when Dungy tried to get cute in their loss to the Chargers, when they lined up to go for it on 4th and 1, and instead got the penalty and Vinateri ended up missing the fg.

Very entertaining game, especially the 4th quarter. But I'm glad it's over and I'll be sure not to watch ESPN for at least a week. The New York/Boston, Brady/Belichick, Manning/Manning, '72 Dolphins/ Perfection narrative is nauseating.
Is anyone else thinking the Texans should draft another d-lineman? I'd welcome it. The Giants sold me.
