After the game Lawrence Taylor was quoted as saying, "Three or four
plays were the difference in the game."  Yeah, right, LT -- they're
called touchdowns.
 
Several Giants players were quoted as saying that the Bears' D wasn't
dominating.  WHAT!!??  Check these guys for concussions.  Maybe they
saw a different game than I did.  The Giants:
 
  had 32 yards rushing.
  were 0-14 in third and fourth down conversion attempts
  had 67 yards total offense in the first 48 minutes of the game (they
         only started moving a little bit after the game was out of reach)
  were held to -11 (that's right) yards total offense in the pivotal
         third quarter.
 
I'm not sure, but it seems to me that this might have been the most
dominating D ever in a playoff game.  Any other suggestions?
