The game was stressful, real stressful, as are most Giants games. I didn't even want to drink my beer during the game, I just sat there, watching, waiting, hoping.
The safety at the start was amazing, (especially because I had the Giants with 5 in my pool and that opened up a world of possibilities) but more importantly because it gave us real strong momentum off the bat. But that momentum was lost soon enough, despite moving the ball effectively we couldn't see to pull off a touchdown.
The nerves were setting in.
I'd say the biggest turn around was Manning to Manningham in the fourth. Everything about that was incredible. Eli had a great game. His ability to pass with 2-3 defenders right there, while under pressure is just amazing. It was kind of rough for me, watching the game with my friends at school included a Titans fan, a Bengals fan, a Dallas fan, a Vikings fan, a Jets fan....and a kid who only cared about winning the pool he was in. Jumping up screaming like a mad man after a big play and having no one to high five was almost depressing.
Regardless, my friends congratulated me after the game, as if I had any part to do with the win. I appreciate the sportsmanship.
Here's to the Giants. See you at the parade.
