Change of Football Fortunes – 12/7/08

The Giants lose and the Patriots win on the same Sunday?  A year ago that would not have sounded so bizarre, but this year has been different.  As a lifelong Patriot fan in divided football country, it has been a tough year given last year’s Super Bowl loss and a lackluster defense this year.  As much as I would like to complain, I have to put things in perspective given the Patriots’ difficult history prior to the dynasty.

I give a tremendous amount of credit to what the Giants have been able to do over the past year.  It pains me to say it, but they are clearly the best team in football right now.  Today’s loss was understandable given the nature of rivalry games.  I would love to see a rematch of last year’s Super Bowl, but that is not looking particularly promising for one of the teams right now.
