ESPN's Bill Simmons does a pretty good job of capturing the feelings of a Patriots fan right now.  The Globe's Jackie MacMullan laments that the season is now for naught, and the Herald's Karen Guregian offers similar sentiments.  Christopher L. Gasper recaps the game.

Seth Wickersham writes that the Giants did a great job of pressuring Tom Brady.  NFL.com's Pat Kirwan says this pressure was largely the result of Steve Spagnuolo's good schemes.

Michael Vega writes about the defense's failure to stop the Giants on their game-winning drive.  Bob Hohler notes that this left too little time on the clock for Brady to respond and win the game.

Mike Reiss has several game notes posted on his blog.

Tony Massarotti writes that the Giants simply outplayed the Patriots, while Michael Felger concurs, saying that the losing result should not be a surprise.

Guregian writes that though free agency looms for Randy Moss and Asante Samuel, both have said they would like to stay in New England.

Finally, as if losing the Super Bowl and letting the chance for an undefeated season slip away wasn't bad enough, John Tomase reports that Roger Goodell is considering re-opening the investigation into the Patriots' videotaping practices.
