As much as I like Brady, can' feel sorry for idiots like Belichek, and the sellout Seau.
As soon as Tyree made that catch, you pretty much could see where this was going. Incredible to have the hand/arm/wrist strength to hold onto a football as your falling with two guys arms in there too.
I actually didn't mind the Giants as the season wore down, but only since they lost that idiot Shockey. The Giants would be smart to ditch that guy...every broadcast the past years, they were transfixed on the guy watching him Hulk out or snap or be a drama queen...and each week it was him sounding off and whining and complaining in the press about this or that. Conicidence that the team seemed to pull it together when he was removed from the equation? Same goes for Tiki Barber.
Maybe Shockey and Tiki can do a relatity show where they whine and complain for all the episodes...this win loooks great on Manning for his defense of himself afer the garbage comments Barber made about him at the beginning of the year.
More respect for both Manning's too...Eli of course in doing what he needed to do to make plays when it really mattered and not getting flustered for the rest of the game as he sees only 7 points on the board. Very poised and calm. A new respect for Peyton too...he looked happier for this win then his own last year.
Plus a little credit has to go out to Hufnagel...he started Manning out on the right foot...and would be a Superbowl champion if the NY press wasn't so hellbent in being out for blood after the average season the Giants had last year, and Coughlin had to cut someone at Christmas to save his own skin going into the offseason last year.

Peyton is awesome! It was so nice to see him fist pump after the Tyree touchdown to make it 10-7 and then just jump up and scream when Burress got the go ahead TD with 35 seconds left. In his interview after the game he said Eli is the calmest QB he has ever seen and that he is thrilled for him.
