RE: Patience or Mercy?
Forgot to mention this - VERY notable to me.........
Tom Brady never issued a "Congrats" or "Kudos" to the Giants when addressing the media.
Moss did, Belichick did, Harrison did (didn't expect THAT!)....... just about EVERY Patriots player did.......
except Brady.
Grace under pressure?
None during the game, and NONE after the game.
