Really? So what explains the hit he took in the game THIS season against the G-men when he got knocked on his ass and was on the ground for a bit......... he caught a TD the VERY NEXT PLAY
Manning has 8 TD and 1 int in the last 4 games... 4 TD in 1 game, along with that int. He won't have another 4 TD game against the Pats. Gonna be 1 TD and 1 int. Brady will have 3 TD, 0 int.. Maroney will have 1 TD.. Welker will have 10 catches.
It'll be close until the middle of the 3rd quarter, then the Pats will do what they do best... pull away from the pack.
Gonna be 38-27, Patriots
If you want to talk about past games and how to handle Moss why do you go back to 2000 when they just played against Moss in week #17. What happened in 2000 is pointless b/c its not even the same players. If you want do a comparison then week 17 would be more accurate, the week he caught 6 passes 2 for TD's and the Giants did not have much of an answer for him.

I don't remember that hit. You may be right but I can't remember him getting hit solidly.
I can't remember what quarter it was in, I think it was the 2nd quarter up near the goal line. He was running his route and let off when the ball wasn't coming his way, turned his head toward Brady and Madison planted his feet and leveled him... it was a completely legal hit, but it was a VERY hard hit.. he was down on all fours for a few minutes while the trainers attended to him. He looked a little shaken up after he got on the sidelines after the TD, but jumped up above everyone for a jump ball in the endzone the next play.
I'm sure he's gotten used to it.. he's made some pretty gutsy catches this year, especially the 1-handed catch in the Colts game when he knew he was about to get decked.
Your location says "AR". What made you a Pats fan? I lived in NY most of my life.
I seem to do that with sports players... Ken Griffey Jr., followed him from Seattle to the Reds and got to see him play with both teams... Montana, followed him from 49er's to the Chiefs, but I never got a chance to see him play... But I am going to go to a Pats game next year so I CAN see Brady at least once in his career, during his prime.
The only other real good no-name QB today is that little prick on the Cows who blew 2 playoff games in 2 years.
You missed the point. To be clear, Moss is succeptable to becomming very gun shy as in "hearing fotsteps" if he gets whacked hard. That's what was learned back in 2000. Therefore, in order to get Moss in that mode, he has to be whacked! No whacking = no gun shy. Well whacked = gun shy.
Quite a few WR's are that way. I have never noticed it in the Pats other WR's or their TE.
I know your point but you missed mine. If they know they need to wack moss to shake him up then why didnt they do it in week 17 instead of having him catch 6 balls for over 100 yards and 2 TDs
Aside from this year, I haven't seen many of Moss's games. I wonder if a player can overcome a fear of taking a hit? If so, that would suck. I'd try it again to make sure though if you know what I mean.
Going on NE past SB performances I think it will be closer
I've thought about that too, and how Belechick always seems to do just enough to win, but...
I think that the score will be in the 34-31 range going into the 4th, Pats'll drive making it 41-31 while eating up 6-7 minutes, Eli throws a pick-6 to Harrison or Samuel, Maroney runs out the clock.
Either way it goes, I won't be posting on SN that night afterward. Maybe late the next day.
Ditto
I'll be at a SB party so I won't be near a PC anyways
