My MVP

No offense to Eli, but I think the MVP deserved to go to Justin Tuck, Osi Umenyiora, and Michael Strahan.

They held one of the NFL's all time greatest offenses to 14 points, a new low. Tuck added two sacks of Tom Brady, and a forced fumble.

I have never seen Tom Brady get hit so many times. He was constantly under pressure, and was out of sync for a large portion of the game. Without this pressure, Brady, with a clean jersey, would have had time to make the right decisions, and then win the game. The game was decided by the trio of Tuck, Umenyiora, and Strahan. So for the Most Valuable Player, I gotta go with those guys

2008 Patriots: 7-9?

After losing to the Giants this past Sunday, I have to wonder: What will happen to the New England Patriots next year. Since the Giants lost to the Baltimore Ravens in SB XXXV, the losing team has had a significant downfall.

2001 Giants (after loss to Ravens) 7-9

2002 Rams (after loss to Patriots) 7-9

2003 Raiders (after loss to Buccaneers) 4-12

2004 Panthers (after loss to Patriots) 7-9

2005 Eagles (after loss to Patriots) 6-10

2006 Seahawks (after loss to Steelers) 9-7

2007 Bears (after loss to Colts) 7-9

There it is, one winning record out of 7 previous SB losers. The Patriots are getting older, and Randy Moss could always revert to his old ways. I just can't wait till next year!
