If you're watching the Pats/Giants in HD, are you watching NBC, CBS, or NFL (does NFL have an HD signal?)?
Watching between NBC (1080i, full bandwidth, no subchannels) and CBS (720p-downcoverted at the station, two other subchannels), I'm seeing a little more detail on NBC. Collinsworth's jacket had faint "plaid" stripes I couldn't see on CBS and Goodell's jacket had more definition on NBC.

CBS, where the refs bad calls are coming in clear. Randy Moss is pushing off every time he turns around!!

NFL Network....damn local channels are too cheap to broadcast HD on Direct TV.
BTW: How many times must the announcers use the word meaningless? It's like witnessing a horrible drinking game, only I don't have enough booze to chug every time they say meaningless!
PS I've seen middle schoolers on public access put on a cleaner show from a technical standpoint then the guys who produced & directed the pre-game show for NFL Network. With their sloppy production, maybe it is a good thing the NFL Network is in so few homes.

Actually, I think you should direct your blame at DirecTV.

Although I have to admit... Steve Mariucci had the best line of the night when, at halftime, he said, "This is the the hardest-hitting, most important meaningless game I've ever seen."
Congrats to the Pats. I really hope they take it all the way... and finally shut up those champagne-toasting, creampuff-schedule '72 Dolphins once and for all.

I watched in on NFLN - because I can.

I watched on NBC. And I was surprised that Bryant was less obnoxious than I feared, and that Mariucci was so much fun.
But mostly, my Patriots won -- in the season when Randy Moss finally learned what it's like to be a team player.
Go Pats!!!!!!
p.s. -- Much as I like Peyton, Dungy & Co., I'm rooting for the Titans (because I have a crush on Jeff Fisher and would like to see him in the playoffs).

Those refs must be employed by the Patriots themselves. There were at least 3 big BAD calls that went in their favor in the 2nd half.
Honestly, the Patriots do not want to see a healthy San Diego, Indianapolis, or Tennessee...in the playoffs.

Easiest was to spot a loser: They're blaming the refs for their loss.

Actually, neither game has an effect on my Titans.
Just making an observation...

I love that the old '72 Dolphins are still talking sh!t. "The exhibition season is over."
