Yes, and I hope you have learned your lesson. Next year when the Pats are kicking the crap out of other teams again, try, just try to be a little more respectful of the other teams and players. They try hard too.
Just didnt feel like posting about it for awhile. From the end of the game until now its amazing to see all the "new faces" that came in just to give their worthless .02. The only thing worse then band wagon fan is a band wagon $hit talker.

Good for you. I disagree with your "LUCK" comment about the last drive though. Eli's had several notable come from behind 4th quarter drives to win the game in the final seconds in his career. It's happened before and it will happen again.
the giants D-line won that game for them in the 2nd and 3rd quarter... i know the qb is almost always the game MVP but the d-line was the real MVP.
The NY Giant fan who gets to start the thread was named a few pages ago & I forget which...
You have some catching up to do.
Yes, the d-line really won the day b/c it threw Brady's game off. However, they were resting on the bench when the score was 14-10 Pats and only 2:30 left on the clock.
The game would not have been 14-10 with 2:30 left had the defensive line of the giants not played that way it would most likely been atleast a 2 td game at that point.. Eli would never had a chance to have a late SB winning scoring drive if the score was 32-10 or so at that point..
the giants weekness is the secondary no way they could have contained the pats and held them to 14 points without a ton of presure from the D-line
That's all part of defense as a whole. If you lack in one area you step up in another. No doubt the Pats have hosses at receiver but when the QB has no time to throw all the best receivers in the world wouldn't help. The DC saw that and decided to run blitzs all night effectively neutralizing that advantage. They couldn't have done that against a mobile QB so another scheme would have to have been used.the giants weekness is the secondary no way they could have contained the pats and held them to 14 points without a ton of presure from the D-line

Spags used relatively few blitzes. He was aware of Brady being able to beat them. Just occasional. The front 4 did most of the work.

I was wondering about that "used blitzes all night" comment.. I didn't think they blitzed him very much, he just got a LOT of pressure from the front 4 without a lot of help from the others. After getting their asses kicked by the front 4 all game, i'm sure the Pats will realize they need more depth at the O-line.

Agreed.. the giants got a lot of presure with their front 4.. that i the only way to stop this offense. Blitzing the pats is asking to get smoked.. You need to get presure with your front 4 and keep 7 in coverage once in awile you can add a few blitzes but if you do it too often you will get burned..
This is also true when you play the colts.. If you can presure manning with your line and keep 7 in coverage then you can stop them.. No offense no matter how good the QB is can overcome that, a qb's nightmare is what happend last sunday.. Pressure with nobody open!..
The Pats oline along with Dallas's massive line are the 2 best at pass-protect in the NFL. Romo and Brady usually have 1-2 more seconds to throw than anyone else. Depth? Sure every team can use that. Replace/upgrade the Pat's starters on oline? That will be hard to do. Those guys are very good.
I think Strahan's 50 year experience in the league, along with Tuck and Osi probably spend a lot of time with Spags going over tapes & techniques. I would expect the Pats oline to be more prepared next time if the Giants dline did anything they didn't expect.
However, if the Giants dline created that pressure just on speed & strength & technique, there isn't much you can do except have a TE stay back there to help.
Lance Briggs. Seem like his name comes up all the time on every teams wish list. He'd be a fine addition anywhere.
I suspect since the Pats are a clever organization, they will take the #2 pick in the draft, trade it for a low #1 and an extra 2nd and 3rd rounder or something like that.
Then the Pats will replenish whatever they need from the draft pool of top of the line prospects. The Pats are NOT Danny Snyder where they overpay for a high priced veteran. Like the Giants, they build through the draft.
