Nobody is an idiot for betting New England.
I bet them, and they would have won and covered if Welker holds on to a very catchable pass. He didn't.
Manning made the plays down the stretch to EARN the victory. I will not take that away from him, they made the plays to win the game. But it isn't wrong to say that the Welker drop cost NE the game and cover. It did.
NE had a costly penalty on a fumble recovery, and another fumble deep in NYG territory was recovered by NY. The opening safety was huge, it cost NE a possession, and affected game strategy down the stretch.
It wasn't the prettiest game I've ever seen, and it was a tough loss, but these things happen. Win some, lose some. I object to being called an idiot and stupid for taking a side that had a very clear chance at winning the game and covering.
2 evenly matched and flawed teams. The game could have turned many times if things happened differently (fumble recoveries, penalties, safeties, drops, etc..)) But what happened,,,happened..and NYG made the plays and NE didn't. Its a tough loss, but I've had tougher.
Congrats to NYG backers. Try to show a little humility, instead of rubbing it in the faces of the NE backers. The game could have gone either way.
