Richard Seymour gives his reason Patriots lost to Giants in Super Bowl 42

Everyone has a reason they lose

Earlier this week former New England Patriots’ and current Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady posted a nice message on Twitter about his former teammate, defensive lineman Richard Seymour, who is up for the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

I would love to see Richard Seymour inducted into NFL HOF. Not only was he a dominant player but a team-first, selfless player who played championship fb each & every wk. He was a cornerstone of the Patriots dynasty & deserves to be recognized for his contributions to fb history

Seymour tweeted back at Brady and mentioned that they should have won another Super Bowl ring because they should have defeated the New York Giants in Super Bowl 42. He said the only reason they didn’t defeat the Giants is because he was held on the play where Eli Manning come how escaped the pocket and hit David Tyree deep down the field as he caught the ball with his helmet.

thx TB12 the goat 🐐. go win lucky number 7 you always make us proud! playing against you for 12 years made me better…
if i wasn't held by 2/3 guys on the helmet catch this would be #8 @elimanning 🙃🤭 https://t.co/t2hIMKNS1H

Now it did sound like Seymour wasn’t completely serious, but I’m sure he and the rest of his teammates from that season aren’t happy about not going undefeated in 2007.

The fact of the matter is that calls are missed all the time if Seymour was in fact held on the play. If the Patriots were so good, they would have figured out how to defeat the Giants no matter what in that game. But the Giants defense rose to the ocation and the Giants’ offense took advantage of an above average defense.
