My money is on the Pats, and contrary to popular belief i think it will be some what of a blowout. The Giants have indeed earned it but i just don't think they've got it when it counts.
You? It is how my daughter remembers how old I am.
+1, the Pats held their own the first time around but this is a whole different ball game. Coughlin and Spags took away from that game what they needed to prepare for the next week and formulate a plan that will take the Pats down. Brady is going to see things on the defensive side that hes never seen before.

That's what was said about the Chargers too.. The Chargers were an awesome team coming into that game, they pulled all of the ideas from the Pats previous games.. but look what happened. 0 TD. You can only hold the Pats offense down for so long, but the defense will be stepping up to fill the void.
The Giants were heavily aided by Patriots penalties on critical 3rd downs in that game, which kept drives alive for Eli... I don't see that happening again.
You really think the Pats took nothing away from that game and the Giants gained soooooo much from one game (which not all of the Pats starters were playing in)? G-men couldn't sack Brady until the 3rd quarter and that's with 2 backups on the O-line for the Pats... I don't see them getting past the starters as much as they need to in order to win the game, especially with the G-men being sick or recovering from the flu. G-men could shut down Dallas and Green Bay, but those two teams didn't have the combined depth at WR/TE/RB that the Pats do... Shut down Moss and Welker? Ok... Give the ball to Stallworth, Faulk, Gaffney, Watson, Vrabel or Maroney... Shut down Moss and Stallworth? Ok.. Give it to Faulk, Gaffney, Maroney, Watson, Vrabel or Welker.. Gaffney will probably play a big role in this game because he seems to be a guy that teams have all but forgotten about while trying to cover Welker, Moss and/or Stallworth. They used Watson to block for most of that game against the Giants since they had 2 starters from the O-line out of the game, but don't expect to see him blocking.. he'll be running down field and making plays to keep the chains moving, 7 or 8 yards at a time. Faulk is probably the most underestimated player on the Pats; he can block, catch the ball, run the ball.. do whatever is needed to get another first down or get into the endzone and is very hard to tackle, much like Welker. I could go on and on, but i'm tired of typing and not wanting to start any crap......... Sometimes I wonder if i've watched all of the Pats games from this season too much lol; mainly the games against the Giants, Ravens, Eagles, and Chargers
Chargers had a MUCH better chance at beating the Pats than the Giants do.
NY Giants are just the '07 Colorado Rockies of the NFL... gonna get cut down by the Boston Reality-Check Buzz-Saw... They'll be lucky to get 21 points on the Pats Defense after Belichick has been given 2 weeks to prepare and seeing the way they played in the AFC Championship..
38-17, Patriots.. should be returning to early-season form due to the controlled climate.
wtf is this?

thats the dumbest thing so far in this thread. First of all Giants lost that first game, second of all you dont think brady has seen everything that can be thrown at him by now
Go ahead, keep thinking they have a chance, its funny
The best defensive schemes Brady will see this season are already behind him.. Ravens, Eagles and Chargers.
Wrong.
1. The "dumbest thing" on this thread was your very first post. You may have topped it for dumbness by continuing to post.
mrvax said:2. The Giants did lose, but only by a wisker. The final score was 35-32 or something like that. In fact, the Giants were up qute a bit as late as the 3rd quarter. You must be thinking of a different game.
mrvax said:3. If you asked Tom Brady if he has seen every possible thing that could be thrown at him, his answer would of course be "no!". Are you kidding? If you really believe the statement you made (Brady has seen everything...) you have far less knowledge of the NFL than what most of us suspected. It's easy to tell you have not been a football fan for long.
Good day sir.
Osi and Strahan are monsters, so I expect to see them all over the place in this game... whether it's sacking Brady or just hitting him as he lets go of the ball, they're going to be everywhere making their presence felt. I have a lot of respect for those two guys, they're just unbelievable in what they do... I hope Strahan comes back next season and doesn't retire.. he's very refreshing.
I do anticipate the G-men to be moving around a lot on defense before the snap, so Brady can't get quite as good of a read on them as if they were just sitting in their places.. that seems to work a little better, but nobody has been able to find a definitive answer tho.
