Shock the World

The New York Giants have won Super Bowl XLII by beating the New England Patriots 17-14. The Giants were the only team to beat the Patriots this year, upsetting what would have been a dream undefeated season for New England. The last undefeated season was in 1972, accomplished by the Miami Dolphins.

The Giants began the year 0-2, with both their Quarterback and Head Coach under huge scrutinty, and a Defense that opened the season by giving up 80 points in those two games. Fast forward 4 months and you saw a completely different team. The much maligned Eli Manning was poised and confident, leading an offense that made some spectacular plays. Head Coach Tom Coughlin out-coached the evil genius of Bill Belicheck. The Giant Defense came out and played at a level that no offense could overcome, not even this record setting offensive juggernaut that is the New England Patriots. Kudo's to that Giant secondary, they have been long considered the way to beat that Giant D, and they stepped up huge this game. Shut down coverage combined with a ferocious pass rush equals a scary defensive performance.

I'm still on cloud 9 with this win. The streets of NYC (where 2seamer is based) where insane following this game. I've never been part of a mob before, and I have to say, it's pretty damn fun. If you know of any mobs, please let me know. I have my torch and pitchfork ready to go.
