Letter: Blames Brady for Pats' loss

To the editor:

Tom who?

Patriots quarterback Tom Brady threw the game away. He gave nine points to the Giants in the first series of downs — safety, two points; then on a short field for the Giants' offense, another seven.

It cost them the game.

Brady is the goat.

Only one score in the second half. (And why did Belichick defer taking the opening kickoff? Not so against Baltimore.)

Brady stunk! He was not a Vince Lombardi-style quarterback in Super Bowl XLVI. The team did its job, Brady did not.

Eli Manning, the opposing quarterback, did his job and so did the rest of the New York Giants.

The won it and deserved the win.
