Huge Upset!!!

Well, that was disappointing. The New York Giants came up with a huge upset and won the SuperBowl. The defences on both sides played a great game keeping the score low until the forth quarter but in the end Eli and the Giants pulled it off with a last minute touch down. It was a very hard game to watch. Brady got knocked down so many times and couldn't seem to get anything done. Welker and Maroney both played a great game for the Pats but it wasn't enough. A sad end to what could have been a perfect season. Now they will have to re-group and try harder next year. My opinion is that the Patriots were struck with "perfection pressure". They had a perfect season, winning every game but when the playoffs came, they couldn't keep it together. The last two games they played to win the AFC Championship were very close and they just weren't playing like they were in the regular season, especially at the beginning of the season. So not only did they have the pressure of the Super Bowl on their shoulders, but also the pressure of making history. I think that it would have been better for them if they had lost a couple of games in the regular season to keep their heads on straight.

Good news for the Giants though. They were the underdogs and they pulled it off. Great for Eli Manning who always seems to be under the shadow of his older brother Peyton. Now maybe the media will compare how much better Eli is to Peyton because he won the World Championship so much earlier in his career. It really is quite anoying when watching a Giants game because every time the announcers talk about Eli, they have to mention Peyton.

Now it's almost Spring time and I'll have to start writing about my garden again. I've noticed that my tulips are starting to sprout.
