I'm a die-hard Pats fan. Have been since I started watching football in 1996 at age of 28 when my son started watching and made me watch one day, and I haven't stopped since. But, I'm writing here to say how well I think NY played Saturday. Manning and the whole team played awesome, the best I think they played all year, especially Manning.
