We were afraid it would happen. The Big, Bad, Evil Patriots would get their perfect regular season, and we’d be all stuck to hear about it from bandwagon fans and a bunch of folks who can’t say the word “car” right. Bill Simmons would write an article that read like a slash fanfiction. And a little piece of us would die inside.

But through 3 quarters, the Giants defense had harassed Brady into ineffectiveness, and the scrappy New York team looked like they could keep this evil thing from happening. That is, until, we realized who’s hands this was all in:

I’d like to think that on 3rd and 11, that the coaching staff would realize that a pass into the flats would be a stupid idea. Maybe Eli called it in the huddle, maybe the coaches did, I don’t know. But the pick in the series after was re-goddamn-diculous.

Oh, Eli. You’re like Bad Luck Schleprock, but with millions of dollars.
