I just felt like they never fully had their heads in the game, from that safety on. They did remarkably well to try and come back, but it just IMO was the team's worst performance of the season (and as someone who's watched this team since I was born, this was one of the hardest games for me to sit through ever...).

To try and come back? They were ahead through most of the game.

I wouldn't even say it was the worst performance of the season. Far from it. And the hardest games for me to sit through were the first Pats/Giants Super Bowl (which was nearly identical to this game, except the Pats were 18-0 going in), and the AFC Championship game in 2007 where the Pats lost an 18-point lead after the half to the Colts.

I was super tired when I wrote that... I totally didnt mean "try and come back..."


Yeah, we were ahead for a good chunk of the game, but I felt like we kept making mistakes and never really had a grip on the lead when we did have it. The giants outplayed us, for sure. I do think it was one of our worst games this season, there were so many mistakes, and to start the game off with a safety??!!

I guess I was so heartbroken after this one because I wanted this team to get some redemption for the '08 loss, which I completely agree was in the top three for worst games ever, but that didn't happen, and we lost to them yet again. If we hadn't played the giants, I wouldn't be so heartbroken from that game.

I didn't want them to win for redemption as much as i wanted them to win for Kraft. It would have been the feel-good story of the year. They wanted to win one for Mama so badly. The thing that nearly brings me to tears is Kraft saying, "You watch Vince Wilfork. He used to kiss me coming off the field, then kiss my wife. Now he kisses me twice."

That's what's the most heartbreaking thing for me.

Kraft is the reason this entire football season even occurred.. And he pulled this off all while Myra was sick. It would have been nice to see him handed that trophy on Sunday.

Oh I think that would have been wonderful as well, the '08 game and redemption was more why I felt so heartbroken (and felt like it was so hard to see the loss), but I definitely wanted to see them win it for both Myra and Robert... I loved that they kept the MHK patch on for the big game and moved the Super Bowl patch to the other side. I completely agree with your statement about Kraft being the reason this season happened. It's so true.
