Patriots Fans Are Not Taking That Super Bowl Loss Well
2/8/08
Look, I'm not a Patriots fan, but if I were, I'd have been upset about the Super Bowl loss. And I'd have been upset for more than a day, maybe two or three. But I sure as hell wouldn't have done anything like this.There are now a few idiotic Patriots fans out there claiming that something was amiss on that final drive by the Giants - yeah, like they scored on your team and won the Super Bowl.
Anyway, the first bone of contention is that after Brandon Jacobs got that first down on the final drive, the clock was improperly stopped since there was no call for an official measurement. Or at least I think that's the case, I don't know, I'm not really paying attention to this stupid claim anyway.
Had this illegal clock stoppage not occurred there would have been 40 seconds less time on the clock, 46 seconds less if you consider the six seconds added on after the play. This means that after that play, if the clock was running the way it is supposed to by the rulebook, there would only be 42 seconds left on the clock. Furthermore if this was not enough on the subsequent play time was not taken off during the play followed by a random flashing of numbers on the clock.
These foolish fans even have a petition you can sign online demanding an investigation of the final 1:40. The petition will be sent to Goodell - who will never read it.Arguments like this are always ridiculous. First of all, just because this happened doesn't necessarily mean the Giants wouldn't have won anyway. Second of all, you never should let a game come down to something like this anyway.
But if you think that's all that bitter Patriots fans will throw at you, oh, you're sadly mistaken. There's also a loser out there who broke down the entire legendary Tyree catch play, looking specifically at the Pats' rush on Manning. Here's one example.
The guy seems to think both Seymour and Thomas got facemasked on the play. I went through all his slides and didn't see a single one. Truly delusional. You see what you want to see.
There's also a YouTube video of a guy breaking down the ways the refs screwed up on the Giants' final drive, but your time would be better spent smashing your head into a table for 5 minutes than watching it.
This, Pats fans, is why America hates you. You lost. Just accept it.
