Brady's take

Comments from QB Tom Brady following Super Bowl XLII:

On this thoughts
"We had a great season, we just didn't win the game. Tonight doesn't take away from anything we have done over the course of the season. We had a great year. It is just unfortunate that tonight turned out the way it did. The Giants certainly deserve it. They're a great football team. As difficult as it is for us, you've got to hand it to them. They made more plays than we did."

On the Giants pressure
"They are a great team. They are very good on defense. They have some great pressure schemes, obviously some great pass rushers. Once we kind of got the idea of what they were doing, I thought we handled it much better but we just didn't get the ball in the end zone enough. You score 14 points. I think that was our lowest total of the year and that got us beat."

More thoughts on the season
"I probably need some time to reflect on the game and some time to reflect on the season. It is extremely disappointing. This isn't something any of us prepare for, but you go into a game and you know that some team is going to win and some team has to lose. I thought they had a very good game-plan. They executed it very well. It was a three-point win. We usually are on the better side of those three-point wins. We just have to regroup and come back and try to make it stronger next year."
