It was a great game that could have gone either way, I think the best team won it on the night without a doubt. The turning point was definately the Welker drop but it was by no means an easy one IMO. Thought our D was excellent apart from the 12 men on the field penalty which took away the fumble and resulted in the TD, it's literally luck of the draw with the forced fumbles that we couldn't recover, can never predict how a ball will bounce. We give up a load of yards but don't concede many points and with a few additions on Defense I can only see us improving next year.

That Manningham catch on the Giants last drive was superb, live I thought there was no way he got both feet down but after the 1st replay it was clear it was a catch, I called the play to let the Giants score at the end but 2 plays earlier, it was clear at that point we couldn't stop them so we could have saved a bit of extra time I thought.

Can't really complain about the result like I say I think the best team won but I did expect it to be more of a shootout and there to be more points. Watching as a fan at the time I could only see the mistakes we made but thinking about it afterwards it will go down as one of the best superbowls in a while IMO. Superbowls are no fun for losers though

Played Giants

someone had to lose

no gloating from us fins but it will be bradys last



a great superbowl but goes to showthe narrow margins but how good BB is as a coach

Now all this playoffs and superbowl nonsense is done with it's the Redskins time to shine. It's the off-season!!!!

get ready for the mega trade that lands us RGIII or the move for Manning or Flynn.

Once we get our QB, beware.

Do you still have faith in Shanahan(sp) G??

Yes, but he MUST fix the QB position this off-season.

You have to understand the mess our roster was in. We're now younger and better in nearly all positions.

We're heading in the right direction and I like the shape the roster is taking. But it will all be for naught if he doesn't address QB.

The football withdrawal symptoms will start to kick in over the weekend. Like many hardened addicts I occasionally take a peek inside the world of the CFL during the Summer, which is a sure sign of having a serious issue.

At least the Chicago Bulls are having another good season so until the Heat beat them again in the playoffs there is something of interest going on. I should not think about White Sox baseball though as that will darken the mood a little.

Stupid short season, we want 18 games now!

The Dolphins rumours have been circulating for a week or so now, although there are huge doubts if his arm will ever be strong enough to make all the required throws.

That's the thing he may not/probably wont be the same ever again especially at this late stage of his career but teams will still take a chance on him because of his past reputation, even if he only plays for another 2/3 years it would be a dramatic improvement on some teams QB's and would surely help to develop the other QB's on the roster.

Rumours are rife about Manning and the Redskins.

I have mixed feelings. We MUST address QB. My preference is to trade picks with the rams and get RGIII. However, there is no guarantee we can pull off that trade, especially if Cleveland want to do the same. So, if we don't address QB in the free agency and don't land RGIII we're left with drafting someone not ready to play and another year of Rex or, god forbid, Beck.

Also, if we get Manning, we can acquire more weapons in the draft as trading up for RGIII will probably cost us our 1st, 2nd, 4th and next year's 1st. There's some logic in getting Manning and saving all those picks for linemen and receivers to help him.

Ideally though, I'd like to see RGIII in Burgundy and Gold.

I would not necessarily go in that direction, just because Cam Newton was such a success as a rookie in the NFL does not mean that RGIII will be. There are major concerns about his lack of size and whether he will be able to take the NFL pounding his style suggests he will get in the league. Cam Newton is a genuine athletic freak and the chances of catching lightning in a bottle in a second successive draft with that type of QB is slim. He could also develop into a good starting quarterback, that's why GM's and scouts are paid millions of dollars, it's difficult to project college trigger men.

For someone to be taken in the 2nd/3rd round I like the look of Kirk Cousins from Michigan State. Seems as though he would be a good system fit for the Shanahan offense.

I agree on RG3 although I like the guy he is not in the same mould as Cam, cam is like vince young in terms of size, RG3 could potentially be an Aliki smith although hopefully not, he could become a warren moon type qb.

R,E,the fins, look what a less talented (imo) did with a weak armed but healthy Chad Pennington in 08. If Manning is healthy he is the man, draft someone like Brock Osweieler (Arizona state, guys 6'8 all the tangibles and can move) in the third to groom) I'd also take a look at ryan tannehill.

Talking of pennington he hasnt retired yet and although he cant really start or possibly even take a hit he's the type of guy I'd love to have on the sidlines with a view to coaching alongside JT and Zach Thomas if that were possible. Miami are also looking at the CFL's top running back
