As a hardcore lifelong Giants fan, I simply can't describe my happiness. But as you can imagine, it's incredible, and won't be fully processed for about a full week. Long live Big Blue!

As a life long Vikings fan I can't fathom what it would be like to win the Super Bowl.

The Giants' D was nothing short of incredible. They shut down the best offense in NFL history and made the pride of Minnesota, Laurence Maroney, blow his was early:

the giants outdid the pats in every aspect of the game last night so they deserved the win and this time, finallly a team has held on to win against the pats when they deserved to, as well. clearly they have a future ahead of them and i guess it all started last night. i was a nervous wreck during the whole game, especially in that last 35 seconds i was hoping for a miracle, a hail mary or at least a field goal to tie the game. my heart felt like it was ripped out when they went down on the 4th down. they had a chance for a perfect season and they blew it in the very last game. tom brady acted like an asshole most of the game ie. barking at wes welker for missing an overthrown side pass, etc. ahhhh... at least when i got up to leave for work this morning, and looked at the painting of fenway park in my kitchen, i've pretty much gotten over it

Giants did a great job, but 2nd and 3rd quarters were boring.

I agree the 2nd and 3rd quarters were a joke, but the 4th quarter was pure football.

You seem to share the sentiments of several Pats fans I've been talking to you. That's quite honorable of you all to tip you cap like that, who says New England/Bostonian fans are jerks? The media is just trying to cover up the real jerks: Yankees fans. Now there's a fan base who just can't learn to take a loss.

I also want to say how excited I am for the future. I think a lot of good young guys turned the corner last night, and even if we lose some old stand byes like Toomer and Strahan, there are plenty of youngings ready to take the reigns. With the mets getting Santana, it's beginning to look like 1986 all over again(especially with an even more beastly Boston team to win hte AL. Eerie).

Have fun with a guy you paid 150 million for that will make less than 30 starts for an entire year!

eh, i had a lot of practice in dealing with these types of losses after years of bitter and utter disappointments in boston sports history. i dont see the point of hating the giants after they've beaten the pats. you cant blame anyone for having the desire to win. competiveness is just part of the game and giants obviously wanted it more in the superbowl than the pats did. but the loss was definitely one of the top 5 biggest disappontment in boston sports history. the first being the 1986 world series, especially in the game 6 when sox were leading the series, 3-2, and they fell flat after leading by 2 runs with 2 outs at the bottom of the ninth. i was furious and wanted to beat up any mets fans in sight because i thought ray knight, who helped carry the mets to championship in game 7, was a douchebag. BUt then I was only 10 at the time.

i'm just happy the yankees didnt get him, thats all. i think that was sox's main motivation in aquiring santana so the yankees wouldnt get their hands on the pitcher. the sox signed sean casey from detroit yesterday. we would need him to play first because youkilis have been riddled with injuries as of late and david ortiz is just too damn slow defensively. the sox looks to be a powerhouse once again for 2008 and i'm excited about it.

I still see Boston fans bristle when the name Bill Buckner is mentioned.

I was pulling for the Pats because I wanted to see them shut the 72 Dolphins up. They are still pretty close roster wise so I hope they can make the off season changes and take another crack at 19-0... unless they play the Browns :P

I was a little disappointed when i heard randy moss saying that the season meant nothing without a superbowl win but I guess I can understand that from a player's point of view. As a fan, I thought they had a phenomenal year with slew of records that have been broken and they've brought the game to 'nother whole new level like the chicago bulls did during the 90's. I hope they will resign moss during the off season and bring back the offensive coordinator and the entire offensive team next season. As for the defensive side, i think it needs a little bit of adjustment and a lot of older players like bruschi, seau, etc could possibly be hanging it up this year. we'll see what happens. but i doubt they'll have another year like this one.
