Being a die-hard Giants fan since I was young, I didn't remember when the giants won their first super bowl against Denver back in 1987, but kinda remembered when they defeated Buffalo in 1991. In 2001, I watched in disgust as the G-Men lost to the 5-year old Ravens teams, several months before 9/11 and the Yankees' Game 7 loss to the Arizona D-Backs in the World Series.
First let me admit my bias I am a Giants fan, so I would have loved this game if the Giants won 31-0. And honestly The Giants also played in an NFC championship game that was arguably better than this Super Bowl.
I've had some time to reflect and think about all the events that happened from the Super Bowl. To start things off, that was one heck of a game, one of the best games ever played.
"Super Bowl XLII" has to certainly rank right up as one of the best games ever played for it's drama, and tough and gritty showing of going down to the end by both teams. The AFC champion New England Patriots had the chance of history in the making to go 19-0 the first ever team to be undefeated if the victory happened over the heavily underdog NFC champion N.
The Patriots go 16-0 in the regular season and win their first 2 playoff games, them winning the Super Bowl was supposed to be inevitable. No team since the Miami Dolphins had gotten that close to a perfect season.
