Wow. I definitely did not expect the Giants to win, but I definitely didn’t expect the game to so entertaining and close. That was the best Super Bowl game I can remember.
The last Giants drive was amazing. It certainly won Eli Manning the MVP award. When he got away from the Patriots pass rush and [...]

After a week of this previewing and hoopla, I’m spent. I think I have enough in me to recap, and then give you my prediction, as well as some of my co-writers here at Vigilante Sports.

Coaching: Patriots
Defensive Secondary: Patriots
Defensive Front Seven: Giants
Offensive Line: Patriots
Quarterback: Patriots
Running back: Giants
Wide Receiver: Patriots

The Patriots, on paper, will dominate this [...]

Obviously with 2 wide receivers with 100+ receptions, Randy Moss with the TD record, and someone having to catch Tom Brady’s record setting 50 TD passes, the Patriots are loaded at receiver. Randy Moss leads the bunch, complemented by Wes Welker and Donte Stallworth. The Patriots have 7 wide receivers listed on their depth chart, [...]

The Giants running backs averaged 134.2 yards per game and 4.6 yards per carry, that’s 4th in the league. The Patriots managed 115.6 yards per game and 4.1 yards per carry.
The Super Bowl will feature teams that have gotten to this point of the season based on the play of their quarterbacks. The ground game [...]

This match up, by far, has the most eyes on it as we head into the Super Bowl on Sunday. All-World Tom Brady vs. Peyton’s little brother. I wish it was that easy.
While Tom Brady is nearly faultless as a quarterback, I think that Eli has rallied his team and taken a leadership role in [...]

The Patriots offensive line has 3 Pro Bowlers, the Giants have zero. However, the Giants did feature the 4th best rushing offense in the NFL, while the Patriots were 13th on that list. Obviously the Patriots were able to figure out how to score other ways (more on that later). The Giants offensive line, specifically [...]

We can split the front seven into two categories, defensive line and linebackers. They’re 2 different stories. The Patriots feature a linebacking corps with surefire Hall of Famers in Junior Seau and Tedy Bruschi. They line up next to Mike Vrabel, and Adalius Thomas. In terms of experience and talent, the Patriots linebackers have it [...]

Now we get the guys who have to cover the likes of Randy Moss, and Plaxico Burress. No fun, especially not in a Super Bowl. This is where you can get burned, and have to live with it the rest of your life. If you get torched in a regular season game, people will probably [...]

It’s almost unfair for anyone to coach against Bill Belichick in a Super Bowl. He is the master tactician. He game plans to expose the other team. He did it every week this season, and now, for the Super Bowl he has 2 weeks to get the game plan right.
On the other sideline will be [...]

As the hype of Super Bowl week starts to really get into high gear, we here at Vigilante Sports will do our best to inundate you with worthless knowledge and previews. We’ll try and stay away from the size and style of Tom Brady’s “boot”, or where he is dining in NYC. We’ll try and [...]
