I would say they are. I can't stand either team that played yesterday. I could care less about who won, but I think if these two teams played 10 times that the Pats would win 9 of them. With the one Giants victory being a "fluke." I think Eli is more like the QB that we have all seen before than the one that was confident and accurate in the post season. Eli seems like a good dude. I hope he does well, but I think is an average QB. Coughlin is a good coach, not a great coach. In fact the entire NYG is a good team, not a great team. I don't see them getting into the playoffs next year. With that written, I would say yesterday was a "fluke."

The Patriots are the better team. The Giants played better on Sunday. Plain and simple.

all i gotta say is this....find me a "average" qb that has beaten Jeff Garcia, Tony Romo, Brett Farve, and Tom Brady...all on the road and all in the playoffs.....stop hating Norcalsurger777...you dont have to be a fan but give eli some props..he certainly deserves it....congrats to the G-Men for not only defeating the pats but for shutting up about 99% of the country!!

Yesterday's winner was not a fluke! I predicted it 13 days ago in my blog"Superbowl Predicting 101"... the better team won yesterday, Not for the whole year,but the better team in the Superbowl! Flukes are when a totally unexpected team upsets a totally superior opponent, which was not the case in the big Game.

I agree 100% with Thecuban. Have you noticed how quiet fannation is today? The Giants shut them up. Fortunately, for most of them, there will be another bandwagon to come along soon, but for now, the rest of us can have some peace. I'm not a Giant fan but I sure was glad to see them pull it off. Like Broccoli, the Patiots were being forced on us, whether we wanted it or not. When you reach this level, there are no "Flukes." There is prepared and unprepared. Don't hate--congratulate

ok, upsets aren't "flukes". A team that wins won, give it a rest otherwise. "Upsets" are directly related to public preception. We all thought the Pats were better and would win. But whoever says that public perception is reliable fact is full of it. Heck, the world once thought that the Sun rotated around the Earth and the Earth was flat! Public perception is rarely spot on. Therefore, "upsets" are nothing more than a win. the Giants, App state, and the Warriors all won, case closed, no need to read further into it.

It WAS a fluke. The Giants won, and they made more plays. Plain and simple. Are they actually a better team than the Patriots? No. Did they play better on one day? Yes. The Patriots had TWO chances in the game-winning drive alone to intercept Manning and win the game, but Samual and Harrison dropped both balls. Tyree made a circus catch that he would drop 9 out 10 other times. Everything went right for them down the stretch and they pulled it off. Eli deserves credit. He played well in the playoffs and they won the Super Bowl. He is STILL going to have prove that his play wasn't an anomaly, and that he can sustain it, not only one playoff or a season, but over a period of time before he can be labeled as an upper tier quarterback, and I don't see that happening. No matter what happens, though, he's a Super Bowl champion and that can never be taken away from him.

are you serious right now, the Giants winning the Superbowl was a fluke? fluke-an accidental advantage; stroke of good luck. I would say they had a "fluked" season then. After starting 0-2, and ending up 10-6 with a ton of road wins, then being the lowest seed EVER to rech, and eventually win, the Superbowl. All of the playoffs were road games. Everyone knows how hard it is to win in the cold in Lambeaugh. The Giants did it, and won all of their other games they were not supposed to win this season. So, technically their whole season was a "fluke". So... I believe that the Giants winning the Superbowl was NOT a fluke.
