Whiny Pats Fans Sign Petition Against Super Bowl Loss
Over 6,500 signatures have been signed to a petition calling for the NFL to investigate the final 1:40 of Super Bowl XLII between the New York Giants and the New England Patriots. The Pats were upset when they lost to the Giants by a score of 17-14.
They are complaining about the game clock being stopped after Jacobs attained a first down. That was the 4th and 1 play. The game officials were not sure if the first down was attained so they brought up the chains to confirm that the ball did pass it. This is where there is argument on whether the clock should have kept on counting down. The petition argues that based upon that and other plays in the final drive, the Giants would have ran out of time in order to beat the Pats.
Of course, no one would be definitely sure if the Pats would have kept their lead. If the petition said there should be 40 seconds less for the Giants, then it is also possible that Manning and his offensive line would still achieve the impossible and score a touchdown to win the championship.
I would rather think that it was destiny for the Giants to win. Overall, they wanted it more.
Drop the sore loser mentality and concentrate on next season. Did any Rams fans start whining about losing against the Patriots? About some sort of conspiracy? Sheesh.
Let's move on.
