The Giants won the game fair and square. Not handily, but they certainly did enough to make me (and any sane person for that matter) say that the Giants earned the Super Bowl. They won it proper, no question about it. While the Patriots no longer belong in the “best team of all-time” conversation because they didn’t win it, I still believe they are the best NFL team I’ve ever seen. Simple as that. I’ve never seen another team go 18-1, nor have I seen another team dominate professional opponents as much as they did earlier in the year. Everybody said that they would be a failure if they didn’t win the Super Bowl after going 16-0 in the regular season. Most people have classified them as a failure for losing the biggest game of the year. I refuse to do so, as I said earlier in the year. [...] [...] They certainly weren’t the best team on Sunday.

It diminishes the legacy of a team known for not losing to lose before or in a big game.

They broke all kinds of team and individual records, and they did it against top competition. They beat all three of the other AFC division winners. They also beat the NFC East division winner and top seed, Dallas, in Dallas, and also beat two other NFC playoff teams. Three of those six games were on the road. Now they are faced with the most likely scenario of having to beat three of those six teams a second time. I hope they make it, so that we all can say we witnessed the greatest accomplishment in NFL history from beginning to end.
