Super Bowl XLVI - Pats (13-3) vs Giants (9-7) 02/05

That was a nice drive.  Hopefully Tom comes out on fire to start the second half.

Yay Pats :]

I've seen about 15 hours of American Football in my life, but it looks to me the Pats defense is off their game? I dunno.

anyone want to bet that Gronkowski played possum in the 1st half?

I could totally see that. I mean, how many times do guys play through the injuries just with pure adrenaline and play fine. Plus thats definitely a Belichick move. Still hoping ochocinco gets revived from the dead

Eli set a record for the Super Bowl with 9 straight completions to start the game.  That'll be a big storyline if the G-Men win.

Not really.  The Pats' defense actually played quite well to hold the Giants to 9 pts in the first half.  They aren't a great unit, other than a couple standout stars, so holding an opponent to 9 points, especially one as deep and talented as the Giants, is a big feat.

My hat goes off to the Pats' O-Line so far, though.  One cannot possibly overstate the importance of giving Brady time to work -- especially when one of the major storylines last time around was that the Giants' front four really got to Brady.

look for Gronk to bemore effective in second half... and I hope  NBC does not jinx us again by showing Gisele and Oluchi

Hrm.  I'm not sure what to expect from Gronk, at least outside of the red zone.  His ankle will probably tighten up after the long half time.  But I'm still hoping for him to catch a red zone TD.

any doubt Gronk takes the shot at half-time?

It was better than the Black Eyed Peas / The Who.

If by better you mean "equally as worse."

[Ogaju]

best haltime show in a long time... probably revives Madonna's career...

[hpantazo]

can we get U2 to play another half time show next time?

Tom Brady has completed 11 straight passes.  To set the SB record, he has to complete 3 more passes in a row.
