Tom Brady and the Superbowl Loss

             "My husband can not -- throw the ball and catch the ball at the
             same time. I can't believe they dropped the ball so many times." These were
             Tom Brady's wife, Gisele Bundchen's words to the media in the locker room
             after the Patriots' loss to the Giants in the super bowl. In my opinion,
             she made a very valuable point that explained how her husband was not the
             only person to blame for the loss. Along with most fans, I had anticipated
             the Patriots winning by a large point margin. Disappointingly, the Giants
             pulled away with a very close win. They had the more volatile offense that
             could not be stopped by the Patriots' lackluster defense. In the days

             last four dropped catches of the game were right on target to the
             receivers. I have a strong feeling that if those catches were caught, the
             victory would've been in the hands of the Patriots'. Along with the
             receivers, I watched how the offensive line was in capable of protecting
             Brady from the blitz. During the very first play of the game, Brady got
             called for a safety, clearly because his offensive line could not protect
             him. He had no alternative, but to get rid of the ball in a hurry. The
             receivers and offensive line were jus...
