He still had plenty of chances to make the big play, did the Giants show a kink in his armor.
Brady is among the greats of the game, but it seems he has not been himself the last two. But that in no way detracts from his accomplishments.

I was actually referring to the stop they made when the Pats got the ball with 39 seconds left and 3 time outs....
Given their big receivers and Brady seeming to be able to will TDs in the regular season to get them to go 0 for 4 on passes in that series was the clincher.
i think its a combination of the previous performance of their punter, as well as BB's over-confidence of Pats' offense.
Maybe it was his ankle, but I do think the Giants showed an example of how to stop Brady. In all the regular season teams have tried to get to him but they never succeeded. I wonder if more teams will try the Giants model at attacking Brady. And will the Pats be able to get him better protection. They will need to get younger if they will be able to protect him.

You have to wonder what the Pats game plan was and why they never changed to react to the Giants. Half of what makes Brady good is the pocket protection and that didn't exist.The Giants did a great job last night, and what's even more amazing is that they've used almost the exact same game plan for the last three games (Cowboys, Packers, Patriots) and couldn't be stopped.

Rumor is he gets the Redskins job.I'm sure Spagnuolo will be a head coach at some point....
Rumor is he gets the Redskins job.
For his part, Spagnuolo had little to say about the potential of the Redskins' job.
"I want to take this all in tonight," he said after the Giants beat the Patriots, 17-14, to win Super Bowl XLII. "Whatever the future holds, we'll see."
Last night, another candidate for the Redskins coaching job -- NFL Network commentator Steve Mariucci -- said of Spagnuolo and the Redskins: "I think it's important that they have a good interview and see if it's the right fit."
I wonder if he is better off staying with the Giants for a few more years. Or take the first offer he gets.
Shockey is a piece of garbage and I guarantee you he was betting on the Pats to win.
You could argue that the Giants won the game the same way the Pats have been doing it all season. They made the plays at just the right time and came out big in the end.For all the praise the Giants are rightfully getting, it's worth remembering that the Patriots were probably just a miraculous catch and a dropped interception by Samuels away from the headline being just another magical comeback by Brady (for a 19-0 season, of course).
I was all but certain that Brady would lead the Patriots on that scoring drive to take the lead, but I didn't count on Manning doing what he did.
New York Giants defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo, who interviewed for the Redskins' head coaching job the past three days, has decided to stay in New York.
You mean people watch the Pro Bowl.![]()
