I dont think he had an off game at all. His O line had an off game, and the Giants D line had a great game. Thats the thing about linemen. Playing the game for years myself you learn to know that they dont get much credit, good or bad. If they do great, it really just reflects on the running back, or protection of the quarterback (being that he gets to throw in luxury) But if they do horrible, really its just, "Brady had a bad game", or how the running back couldnt move the ball. That being said, the skill positions take all the rep, good or bad.

The battle was won/lost in the trenches, as we all know. It is simple as that. The Patriot offense line lost the battle and the Giant defense line won the battle.
Now I still have to hear about the 72' Dolphins.

The O line couldn't keep the pressure off Brady, sure. Even so, I still saw some off throws when he wasn't under much pressure. Linemen actually do get a lot of credit these days. If you listen to the same painful commentators I do, you're reminded of the job they do constantly. I hear running backs give props to their line all the time.

Archie Manning is the happiest man in the world.

Since I don't really follow the teams, when the game began, I wasn't rooting for either, just watching. As the game progressed, however, I liked the fight for the win between the teams, and started rooting for the Giants. That was an amazing ending to the game. I was at a Superbowl party where only 2 of the 8 people were rooting for NE. Those two guys, though, were so loud when that last TD was caught! Unbelievable game! It was great!
Your absolutely right, I agree with you 100%. But name some of the best O linemen to ever play the game? Some of then playing now? And dont go look it up ;D . Most people cant name very many, or even one.

Hutchinson, Ogden are the first to spring to mind. But you're right in that O lineman don't get individual recognition. Maybe if there was a nice easy way to quantify their effect. Or if they were widely used in fantasy football. 
Tom Brady on his knees, hands on his sides, head hanging in shame after yet another bad play, is there any site more satisfying??
As for the commercials, rubbish. Thought that squirrel one was pretty good, as was the Doritos one that was home-made by a contest winner.
No, but this unrelated photo is good
And also, i liked these two ads
