Beating Giants in 2 weeks - it's all good - New England Patriots Forums

that could just be amazingly sweet:

- if we beat dolphins, would give us perfect regular season
- could put skins in the playoffs
- could knock giants out of playoffs

some how it just all makes sense. dotting the "i" in perfection by beating a team from new york, and putting the team that experienced tragedy in the playoffs.

Eli is miserable, and he just lost his best target for the season. The Giants win games entirely because of their defense. While I think they do have a very good defense, I don't see anyway Eli and that pathetic offense can keep up with us.

The only teams that will be able to have a shot at us are complete teams. And the Giants are not a complete team.

shockey wasnt all that anway. for all his showboating he had 3 TDs this year. exactly half that of our own far less heralded ben watson. truth is giants whole offense was destined for disaster:

- their best threat tiki retires
- plaxico has a back injury and never practises, and is clearly a shell of the player he had been
- shockey is gone
- eli is the #1 bust no one talks about

one thing i'll say about losing shockey though, his rookie backup boss may be better. don't be surprised if he shows enough promise these last 2 games to challenge shockey for the starting position next year.

My only preference is that the Giants take the Bills this week,
so that they are cemented into the playoffs.
Thus their best interests in our game are to
rest starters before their wildcard game.

And, after falling behind early, they can play out the rest of the game "vanilla"
... rather than fighting desperately to claw their way into the playoffs.

Any given Sunday, anything can happen. The Ravens almost beat the Pats

Plus, Eli Manning is unstoppable. they even said it in his commercial, and you are not allowed to lie in commercials.

I have been getting e-mails from my Giants buddy starting over a week ago about this game. Their fans are hoping for a repeat of the Broncos upset back in 1998 when they ruined their undefeated season. Nobody expected it then and certainly nobody expects it now.

If the winds are swirling and the weather is bad it could be a close game. Eli IS terrible but the Giants as a team have been up and down all season.

Since the Giants should be locked into the 5 or 6 seed then they shouldn't have anything to play for. My buddy couldn't get it thru his head that it is more important for the Giants to rest key players in preparation for a tough road playoff game in Tampa. What happens if the team is beat up from going all out to upset the Pats.

He thought this Giants team had no shot in the playoffs but they could be THE TEAM that is remembered for beating the Pats.

Shockey is TERRIBLE BTW. Talk about a BUST!

I'd like to see Pay a tons little brother get a good beat down. He and his daddy wanted him in NY to be on a high profile team with plenty of media. They got their wish, IMO not enough bad can happen to his career.

Joking aside, your comments are right on 100%. They Giants could throw the kitchen sink at us...gadgets, spread us out, beat us down the middle (just like Baltimore almost did). The Meadowlands would be full of Patriot-haters and can get as loud as any stadium. Eli has the ability to have a HUGE game off talent alone...I am sure brother Peyton spends hours a week breaking down the Pats.
All hypotheticals, but all possible. No Gimmes until we hoist that trophy, boys.

Knocking the Giants out of the playoffs would be sweet. Bunch of idiot new york fans. Ruin their season, couldn't be nicer.

Not sure if the Giants are in wtih a win in Buffalo this weekend.

Go Patsies.
