Did the Pats "choke" under all that 19-0 pressure?

Did the pressure of all that "team of destiny" and "history" talk just get to them yesterday as a contributing factor in the game?.

Don't get me wrong, they were clearly outplayed by the Giants but I wonder if that pressure also finally got up to them?

I'm sure it is not something they would admit of course.

    Choking implies that they caved in and made mistakes that gave the game away. I thought they played as well as they could, but the Giants just plain beat them up and outplayed them. '86 Red Sox, '04 Yankees, now that is a choke.

    No I do not think so, I simply think the Giants were the better team.











    At least last night they were.

    Belichick clearly had the best horse, but worked the horse to death and it wore out - that's the reason the Patriots lost. The players didn't choke at all - they ran out of gas...compliments of Bill Belichick.

    The Giants rotated their D-Line often and nicely. Coughlin learned that trick from Andy Reid...and others are copying it as well.
