stayed up and watched it and you are right about that catch on the giants final drive - great drama. god am i suffering now though. bed at 3.30 and then my bloody offspring deciding he wants to get up at 6am. he never gets up early on schooldays. looking forward to seeing my pillow tonight and no mistake.

First full American fooball game i've watched and I have to say, I was impressed. The only problem was it draged on with all the stoppages and time-outs, especially the 1/2 time show.
I image it would be good to see live though

I STAYED UP ALL NIGHT AND WHAT A FANTASTIC CLIMAX!!

THE ENDING TO THE GAME WAS QUITE EXCITING AS WELL!!

An outstanding game and I was delighted to see the cheating pats beaten especially as their unbeaten season record bid goes up in smoke as well

I do believe that eli manning is a very good(but not great yet) player and made some clutch plays last night but how he got MVP ahead of any of the defense is beyond me

Tiki Barber must be feeling like a gobshite today

ALTHOUGH NOT A GREAT GAME IN TERMS OF LOTS OF TOUCH-DOWNS SCORED, IT WAS VERY DRAMATIC AND KEPT SWINGING ONE WAY AND THEN THE OTHER - ESPECIALLY IN THE 4TH QUARTER.

I MUST SAY THAT THE NEW YORK GIANTS' COACH CAME UP WITH A DEFENSIVE PLAN EVEN GEORGE GRAHAM WOULD HAVE BEEN PROUD OF!! INDEED, IN MANY WAYS IT WAS REMINISCENT OF ARSENAL VERSES PARMA IN 1994, WITH THE MORE TALENTED TEAM UNABLE TO ASSERT THEIR SUPERIORITY DUE TO OUTSTANDING DEFENCE.

ALTHOUGH I WANTED THE PATRIOTS TO WIN, AS I SAW THE WAY THE MATCH WAS UNFOLDING, I HAD GROWING ADMIRATION FOR THE WAY NEW YORK WERE PLAYING. BY THE END, I FOUND MYSELF WANTING THEM TO PULL OFF THE UPSET AND THEY DID - IN DRAMATIC FASHION!!

ALL CREDIT MUST GO TO THE GIANTS AND RESPECT ALSO TO THE PATRIOTS FOR A GREAT SEASON, ALBEIT ONE ULTIMATELY WITHOUT THE FINAL REWARD THEIR PLAY PROBABLY DESERVED.

i wonder now, if the saints or chargers r thinking, since their playing at wembley in october, that it could be a good omen for 1 of them?? who knows. the chargers r probably better equipped 2 go the distance, but as a broncos fan, i hope they do a dolphins, and go 1-15

pity the season is over. probably the shortest season in any professional sport.
