No Future Guarantees

The loss to the Giants will be discussed forever. People will always talk about the safety Brady took and the missed pass to Wes Welker late in the game which would have kept the drive alive.

This game reminded me too much of Super Bowl XLII. In that game, the Giants had a long opening drive. The Pats had an unproductive first quarter in both games. Both games were lost in the fourth quarter.

The inability of the Pats to stop the Giants on third down contributed to their demise. They never had one three and out. The Giants converted too many crucial plays

I thought the Pats had a real good shot at wining this game before kick-off. The safety proved to be the beginning of the end of the night.

We can always say next year, but it took four years to get back to the Super Bowl. There is no guarantee that it will happen again.
