Can't believe everyone thought this Super Bowl was going to suck.
Were you one of them?

I didn't think it would suck.
Pats have been playing nothing but close games recently.

agreed, I like better D games than anything, but it was really just the Giants D playing great...and while they had an amazing game essentially shutting down the best offense in NFL history, the NE D was average at best and the offenses were disappointing minus select 4th quarter drives...so, while I was very impressed with the performance of the Giants' D, the game as a whole was rather boring and mediocre

Well that's your opinion. I thought the whole game was interesting. Both defenses were pretty good against some pretty good offenses. Brady was getting pressured, which was something that rarely happened all year long.
But some people just like offensive games and defensive games. I like physical games. And this game was very physical. Like that 1990 49ers/Giants NFC championship game.

I actually thought the whole game was great but the ending was amazing. I geuss I took extra pleasure in seeing Brady and his offense getting knocked around.

like I said before, I like defensive games...but IMO this game was just the Giants D performing amazing and the Pats D performing average, while both offenses were average at best until the 4th quarter...there were no mistakes by the offenses, only 2 turnovers, the entire 1st quarter was anything but a great defensive football game, and up until the 4th quarter, the only thing worth watching was the Giants D and a handful of exciting plays at most...but that's just my opinion

It's possible that the Patriots defense was playing good, but the Giants defense was just able to move the football on them...because they're a good offense.

It was a bit boring early on, but in the way that you had to keep watching. Not boring as in 28-0 early and they're just coasting.

I didn't think it'd be THIS good, but I don't think it'd suck.
It was boring around the third quarter, but everything started picking up after that.

I thought so right when the Giants beat the Packers. After that though, I started warming up to the idea of it being a good game. Learning more about the Giants and their 10 straight road wins...etc etc.

It was intensely boring for 3 quarters.
That fourth quarter may have been the best single quarter in NFL playoff history, though.
