Did anyone watching the game not just know, instinctively, that the Giants were going to score the game-winning TD after that play?

This Patriots did :-)Hats off to the Giants. I'm happy for Coughlin though. He got a raw deal here in Jacksonville. Also, maybe that crybaby Tiki Barber will stop throwing Coughlin and Manning under the bus.

CLOSE THE MEADOWLANDS.

The GIANTS should play ALL their games away!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fantastic Game fantastic story legendary GIANT DEEEEEEFence

I think Brady was a little rattled, still played at a high level but I will offer you this,

OK, a little rattled. And his line maybe older, but they seemed to play pretty well the entire year and let Brady pocket pass to his heart's content, and set records doing it. The fact is the Giant's defense played an incredible game.

Sorry if you are a Pats fan,

LOL, I was around for the Dolphins perfect season and this year they have their worst year ever. The Hurricanes suffer their worst home loss ever in their last game at the Orange Bowl before Clinton witch Donna Shalala has it torn down. Of course I was pulling for the Giants against all odds.

Brady had lost a step (at least) with his weak ankle, and his line could not protect him in the pocket. The Giants defensive line was stupendous, and that was where the Pats were beaten. Simple as that. Brady could not make his amazing throws from his back——sacked five times, and many more almost sacks that killed his passing game.

Eli stepped up and was magnificent under pressure. And Tyree made that amazing over the head behind the back land on your spine and keep the ball during the final drive. The Giants truly earned the win.

Congrats to Archie and wife for raising some incredible sons.

What are giants going to call the tyree catch?

Just call it "Up Yours Bellicheat"!

[ex-snook]

NEW YORK NEW JERSEY GIANTS the super team.

[day10]

That could be the best catch ever in a Super Bowl. Just incredible for Tyree to hang on to that ball. It compares to, if not surpasses, Lynn Swann’s acrobatics and some of Jerry Rice’s clutch catches in past games.

[MortMan]

To be fair, I don’t believe that Bellickeck knew there was time left on the clock.

[1Old Pro]

Pretty Boy Brady had his mind elsewhere it appears.

[Oberon]

I tell you what... Tyree earned his money last night. If he never got noticed much before, he sure got some attention now. His agent probably still hasn’t quit smiling.

[wardaddy]

i’m lucky...nice little reentry for me back into an entertainment sport i grew up with in the Golden Years

Starr, Namath, Unitas, Tarkenton etc

same as you........we all knew all their names as kids

[dfwgator]

Certainly the greatest SB catch since this one.

[stainlessbanner]

Anyone makes a catch like that can do his gang-sign hoodie dance. That play was simply amazing.

I like that Col picture you posted on another thread - one of the many reasons I like college ball.

[wardaddy]

yes...a great night

but the greatest Giant of all time was YA Tittle

;>)

[wardaddy]

yes...the Brady-Welker combo was amazing as was that 70 yard pass

i don’t watch it anymore so this was all news to me

“There will be another team someday, another run, another improbable story. It won’t be better than this football team, and this run, and this story. There have been other big games in football. Considering the circumstances, never one bigger than this.”

AWESOME!

[RDTF]

Not sure when the play was, but wasn’t it Eli that ran with the ball, was tackled and then the ball dropped out if his hands but he held onto it in a grip between his thighs?

I was impressed! lol

[Cedar]

Tonight I watched ESPN’s highlights of the greatest SuperBowl plays ever. They showed them all and now there’s no doubt, the Manning-Tyree play is the greatest ever!

As everyone is saying, you never get tired of watching that replay. Just incredible of both Manning and Tyree.

Did anyone watching the game not just know, instinctively, that the Giants were going to score the game-winning TD after that play?

For this Giants Fan....that's when I went from "maybe, just maybe" to "this is our moment, our time..."...I knew the Jints would not be denied...

I've been seeing the Giants play with a group of guys for about 10 years now....that play brought the room to a stand still that erupted in jubilation....only to be outdone when Buress caught the TD....kudos to humble Eli, a gentlemen that surely gets my respect...

"The Great Escape" will be remembered to my dieing days.....

I didn’t expect my beloved G-Men to win. Yet I’m a fan and I supported them. Being a native new yorker it wastough up her in patriot nation the last couple of weeks. Some fans were great, but most were giving me the needle hard. I was brave enough to wear my giants hat before the game. And yesterday, here in Lewiston I took my life in my own hands and wore it proudly. Wainting for the champion hoody to arrive. That will drive them nuts.
Great one liners and such to throw at pats fans: 18 and 1, trademark that!
Chase Blackburn gets the most expensive Giants suberbowl ring. 12 instead of 11 diamonds. He gave the patriots a fresh set of downs in Giants terrority and they still got stuffed!
