Giant Upset

It seems as if every sportscaster across the Nation chose the Patriots to win over the Giants, I think not. Tom Brady recently laughed at the fact that Plaxico Burress predicted that the Pats' would only score 17 points, jokes on you Tom.

The anticipation for this game had been building within me for weeks now and I felt extremely confident for my favorite team. When the two teams met in the last week of the NFL season 5 weeks go the Giants gave the Pats' a real run for there money, so I knew the could hang with the "Big Boys".

As the game progressed I was worried, the Giants defense was making huge stops and the offense couldn't turn those opportunities into crucial points. You have to understand that when you stop a team like the Patriots, you must take advantage of it.

The game became so intense in the fourth quarter as Eli was able to take his offense to go ahead 10-7, with a David Tyree touchdown. Things heated up as the Patriots took possession and put together a 5 minuet drive to but the Patriots back ahead 14-10.

To me, what people where about to witness was Eli Mannings introduction to greatness. It took ELi 12 plays and 2 minuets and 7 seconds to bring the Giants into the end-zone with a catch by Plaxico Buress to put the Giants up 17 to 14. In my opinion, the play that stood out the most was the play where Eli was about to be wrapped up and sacked for a loss but was able to escape and throw a bullet to David Tyree where Tyree made a miraculous catch for an important Giants first down. Leaving the Pats with 35 seconds left the Giants defense was able to put a hault to the game by absolutely demolishing the Patriots offense, including a huge sack on Tom Brand...oh it felt so good.

After the game I was speechless I didn't know how to react or what to do. The sweetest part about it though is ruining a perfect season and making Bill Belichick look like a fool.
