So they'd be up 6 points, in the off chance that the Patriots score a TD and miss the PAT.

because if it was a 5 point lead, all the patriots needed was a td and they won.
6 point lead and if the pats scored a td, they could save the pat.

If the score was 23-17 with the 2 point conversion, there would be the chance to block a patriots extra point kick if they scored another TD, going into overtime instead of losing 23-24.
Edit: guess we got it covered.

Praying that if there is a TD, the extra-point is missed. Pretty much the right thing to do I think.
Sucks for you though

because if they scored the two, it would've put the lead by 6, so after a TD, the Pats are forced to convert the PAT in order to take the lead.
Oh after seeing this article, Brady losing makes it that much more better lawl

Best way to win the Superbowl, float rumors to fire your head coach every year, then praise him at the end, only to repeat the next year.

Not that many outstanding plays, besides a couple of runs and Manningham's catch. But neither offense was explosive and the defenses (at least NYG's) didn't play to their potential. Even before the injuries, Brady was getting a lot of time but just wasn't making much of it.

Because the difference between being 5 points up and 6 is that if the Pats get a touchdown, you still have a slim chance to go to OT by blocking the PAT.
The difference between being 4 points up and 5 doesn't really mean anything, on the other hand.

ahhh bullshit <3 Eli but tuck should of been the mvp.......... again!

All the Brady haters lol. The guy is either tied as the best or is the second best quarterback of all time, and there wouldn't even be an argument if it weren't for Welker dropping that ball on the possession before the Giants scored. Looks like Manning and the lucky horseshoe wedged up his ass have lucked into another championship, although I have to admit, there was no doubt in mind that the Giants would score when Eli got the ball down 17-15. That's something I couldn't say about any other QB in the league.

Unfortunately the secret of the NFL is that 85% of any given game is boring as hell

Yeah okay.
QBs better than brady:
Montana
Bradshaw
Aikman
Staubach
And there's probably 3 or 4 more from the pre-SB era.

LOL Eli is such a dopey dude..

Christ they even throw an advertisement in the MVP interview, I mean really?
