GGGGGGGGGeeeeeeeeeeeeMEN !!!!!!!!!!!!

What can I say about my G-men? What a great win, but you have to view their achievement in its totality, three road playoff wins against staggering odds. The two plays that embodied Big Blue's season for me were Amani Toomer's virtually horizontal, toe-dragging sideline grab and Antonio Pierce's red zone tackle with an offensive lineman draped on him like a fur coat. You virtually never hear Amani's name when the pundits talk about the elite wide receivers in the game. It's T.O this and Chad Johnson that and Randy Moss on and on, but Amani just keeps churning out both workmanlike and highlight reel plays like that grab. The second play was Antonio Pierce's tackle in the red zone where he essentially had to burst through an offesive lineman and carry him to get the ball carrier, saving what easily would have been a bigger gain for a 1st and goal. That play won't make it to the highlight reel but it was just the type of hard-working, tenacious play that Antonio and the defense have been exhibiting all year. Congratulations to the men in Blue!
