Thank God Gronk wasn't able to snag the ball on that last second Hail Mary or I would still be in a padded cell to this day. 😉.
Yeah. Really.

He was just inches from catching it.

Boy, I would have been sick.

orchestrated the plays on the goal line a bit smarter before giving the ball back to the Patriots.

I used to get nervous

Same with the first one with Moss.

They orchestrated correctly.
Bradshaw was just out of tune.

Gronk was literally a second away from catching that. Still makes me queasy even thinking about it.
The forgotten super bowl

Of the four. I use the term forgotten quite loosely but compared to 21,25 and 42 it’s the least dramatic or poignant. Interestingly, to me the 2011 end of season and postseason run is the most enjoyable rewatch maybe next to 86 but the super bowl itself was probably my least favorite rewatch. Again, using those terms loosely. It’s still a great game.

The best nyg postseason game ever is 90 nfc title game. The best ass kicking is (86) 49-3 but the best games to rewatch are (2011) home vs ATL, at packers and at SF in successive weeks. Subject to change of course…
"EEEELI...."

fourth quarter come-from-behind Super Bowl in four years.

I loved those teams. Great memories.

Man. I was arrogant after that one. I really thought that they would win another two (or more) with Eli Manning. What a fucking botch by the Giants front office after Super Bowl 46. I cannot believe we went from that night of triumph to a little over year and a half later watching them getting shut out by the fucking Carolina Panthers, 38-0.

Again for the 407th time, I thought that game was going to be a blowout in the Giants favor. I bet $500 on the Giants. It was all I had. I didn't even have a job or wasn't even in school lol hahaha

That Atlanta playoff game was the best Giants game I attended. Only second to the Rangers beating the Montreal Canadiens to get to the Stanley Cup finals in 2014.

The Atlanta playoff game is also the best Giants game I attended, and as far as sports events go, the other most notable one for me is also a Rangers/Canadiens game. I was in Montreal when they had the comeback from down 4-0. That was truly incredible.

Watching Nicks split the Atlanta secondary for the TD that basically put the game away was one of the great moments I’ve ever had in the Meadowlands. Most of my memories there are actually pretty poor. 97 Viking playoff game, 03 Westbrook punt return, 10 meltdown against the Eagles, losses to Doug Johnson, Kurt Kittner, Joey Harrington, Craig Krenzel, Todd Collins, Titans comeback with McNair in 02, blowing the season opener against the Bills in 96, Eagles 23-11 in the 08 playoffs, just to name a few!

Oh shit. Craig Krenzel. I was at that game, too!

I believe that Atlanta WC is the sole postseason Giants or Jets postseason game that MetLife hosted. Seattle-Denver Super Bowl was post that.

Lol yeah last Jets home playoff game was 2002, wasn't it? When they shutout the Colts?
Route9.

I think that is right. The year where it looked like the Jets might have gotten their franchise QB in Pennington.
Manning to Manningham on the final drive  
.McL. : 2/6/2023 7:15 pm : link
Ranks as one of the best, if not the best throw I have ever seen.

It traveled 44 yards in the air. For reference that 1 and a half times the length of a basketball court.

Eli felt some pressure and neatly slid away, then launched a 44 yard perfect throw. Swish... Nothing but net. And it needed to be that way. Just over the trailing CB, outside the closing safety, and yet still inbounds. Eli had an area about the size of a basketball hoop in which to fit that throw.

Under those circumstances, absolutely incredible.

I was nervous and then that play happened and I instantly calmed down and started saying "yup this is going to happen again"
