In both SBs the Giants offense started on their own 17 and 12 yard line respectively with less than 4 minutes to go (less than 3 in SBXLII)...yet the defense let them march all the way down the field. Props to Eli and the receivers but the Pats D choked when it counted most.
So the fact that they were in position to win those games with only 10 and 14 pts scored up until that point reflects on who? Point blank 21 and 17 pts should not have been enough to beat those Pat teams. Offense had a chance to put the game away prior to those drives and to pull the game out afterwards.
