We watched the Superbowl last night - how disappointed I am. My Patriots managed a perfect season, 16-0, then get through the playoffs to win the AFC championship, only to lose the Superbowl in Arizona by three points (17-14) to the Giants.
I must say, though, disappointed as I am, the Giants played brilliantly, while the Patriots offensive team was not up to scratch. Where was QB Tom Brady's protection in the pocket?
Some trivia - with 97.5 million viewers, Superbowl XLII was the most watched Superbowl yet. Only one TV broadcast drew more viewers - the finale of M*A*S*H in 1983.
Well, the Pats ended the season and post-season 18-1, which means the 1972 Miami Dolphins are the only team to end fully undefeated, though it was a shorter season (14-0). I still think 18-1 is an amazing achievement.
I forgot to mention yesterday that one of the big highlights of my summer holidays was the Patriot's final regular season game, in which they beat the Giants to become the first NFL team to end 16-0 in a season. Sixteen wins, zero losses! And if I am not mistaken, they are also the first team to reach 19 consecutive wins in regular season games.
Now for the playoffs!
