Stunned silence

There was a large group of Patriots fans next to the press area up here in the 400 section and many of them are still in the area, just searching for an explanation for what happened.

One fan just stood shaking his head before pulling off his Tom Brady jersey and sitting back down in his chair to watch the Giants celebrate on the field.

Somewhere, we suspect, Mercury Morris and the 1972 Dolphins are partying harder than these Giants, who almost seem in shock of what they've accomplished.

Fabulous play calling, way to go. Clearly they didn't want or deserve it. Maybe next year they will have a defense that can actually get to the quarterback before the end of the 4th quarter. And maybe next year they should try 9 guys to keep Brady upright. What a sorry ending.

Chris, this was a tough one to take. I'm still trying to make sense of this. Congrats to those NY Football Giants. I look forward to the paper's coverage tomorrow.

Wow....what else do you say? Good game, great defense by the giants...getting after Tom and getting through and around our normally awesome offensive line. Hats off to the giants...and also to our Pats, although it was clearly not our best game.

Damn...

Wow. That 19-0 trademark came in real handy guys!

As a Jets fan, I must say i will never speak ill of the Giants ever again.

I cannot wait to see the boston papers tomorrow.

Now if you will excuse me, I am off to part in the AMAZING city of NY with 13 million of my closest friends.
