― mookieproof, Saturday, 4 February 2012 01:10 (twelve years ago) link
new england is pretty lucky that brady managed to complete a couple of passes over JPP's paws at crucial times, tbh the game wasn't as close as it looked, giants dominated them, probably should have been 57-3
I just don't see where this comes from
http://i.imgur.com/AOnW4.jpg
halfway through the 4th q and the giants are in a pretty shitty spot and the game is effectively out of eli's hands. pats offensive deserves credit for fucking this up, but if we're looking at the game at that point the story def isn't 'everything's going by plan for the giants'. and as much as the next two drives defined the end result, if you've only got half a q left and the game is essentially out of your hands that's not a game you 'played well' imo.

― iatee, Tuesday, 7 February 2012 20:18 (twelve years ago) link
the giants didn't completely dominate the game so how can they have played well? i have seen teams score over 50 points loads of times and they didn't get half that many!
― Roberto Spiralli, Tuesday, 7 February 2012 20:18 (twelve years ago) link
context is nothing, chart is everything
― Roberto Spiralli, Tuesday, 7 February 2012 20:19 (twelve years ago) link
the chart is the context! I'm not saying the giants 'didn't play well' or even that they played worse than the pats. they played fairly competently, their offense didn't do a v. good job at getting points on the board, which does matter and put them in a pretty shitty spot in the 4th q. pats also played competently, which is why one or two catches would have turned the game.

serious "pythagorean expectation" answer: giants should have won 37-0.
― omar little, Tuesday, 7 February 2012 22:02 (twelve years ago) link
safety would have been a brady pick returned for a TD, 7-0. cruz td catch, 14-0. gotkowski FG blocked, returned for TD. 21-0. back and forth for awhile, brady marches downfield and passes towards woodhead, blocked by JPP. halftime: 21-0. hernandez drops easy td pass in 3rd quarter, 21-0 still. 2 FGs from tynes, 27-0. bradshaw TD run, 34-0. brady fumbles on opening play of subsequent drive, recovered by giants, tynes FG as time expires, 37-0.

i thought the whole point of super bowls was to have really good teams play against each other? meaning the statistical certainties get whittled down to hazy 50/50s? which is what happened?
― Critique of Pure Moods (goole), Tuesday, 7 February 2012 23:22 (twelve years ago) link
i'm kind of losing track of what this argument even is
the argument = "ILXers wish Superbowl had lasted forever, attempt to simulate it via opinions; also, lol @ Patritos"
― I spend a lot of time thinking about apricots (DJP), Tuesday, 7 February 2012 23:27 (twelve years ago) link
two really good teams playing each other doesn't always lead to 50/50 games, but this one did. I guess my only argument is that if the giants played better they did by a v. tiny margin really but, yeah, that was enough. this was a margin of error game and not at all a victory that demonstrated that the giants were 'better'.

― Critique of Pure Moods (goole), Tuesday, 7 February 2012 23:31 (twelve years ago) link
i guess my point is trying to argue what a team like the giants or the patritos "should be" able to do "on average" is sorta pointless. it's not average! they're playing each other!
― Critique of Pure Moods (goole), Tuesday, 7 February 2012 23:32 (twelve years ago) link
well... the Giants were better at turning their drives into points; considering that both teams scored two touchdowns and a field goal, the Giants had an unanswered field goal which won them the game even without the lol saftey
― I spend a lot of time thinking about apricots (DJP), Tuesday, 7 February 2012 23:34 (twelve years ago) link
well I am not trying to argue that the giants did not win that game, statistically they did win that game 100% of the time iirc, this is about 'who played better' and 'what did that game reveal about the two teams'.
