It almost looks like a conspiracy: tomorrow the forecast is for 30 mph wind and rain, then clear to partly cloudy through the following five days. I think we see a game plan focused on the running attack, especially since Miami is stronger against the pass. BB will not emphasize going for the Brady/Moss touchdown passing records unless the game is well in hand. If the Giants need a win next week to make the playoffs, that would further limit things IMO.

Brady needs FIVE touchdown passes in TWO games to beat Manning's record, Moss needs FOUR touchdown catches in TWO games to break Rice's record. I hope like heck it happens, but I'm not optimistic it will. I'll be thrilled just to go 16-0.

This winter has flat out blown, weather-wise. On the plus side, I can't imagine this continuing through January, New England weather just doesn't stay that consistent.

As for records...Brady is going to have to pass it in from closer to the goal line is all. Use Maroney to get it down there and toss it to Moss from the 1. I really want Brady to pass Manning's record, and think there's a decent chance for it, no matter the weater. Moss is less likely for sure.

I remember something about 6 passing TDs against the 'lphins. . . . and isn't their secondary worse now than it was in Week 7?

Not looking good for passing, I agree. But it could still happen. Best chance is if someone can make a big play. Moss has to stop dropping passes (what is it, 3 in the last 3 games?). Maybe Stallworth (remember him?) can get on the field and Brady will actually throw him a ball. He is our biggest threat to break one after the catch. Maybe Maroney takes off with a short pass. Maybe they give Troy Brown a shot at his last TD catch in Foxboro. We have not had a big play go for a TD in a while. Heck, take away the big plays on defense and STs and the offense did not even get a TD last week.

Brady threw TD passes in Balt & he can do so tommorrow if that is what the game plan calls for.
It would be nice to see Troy get one.

Since we last played them they haven't given up more than 209 passing yards in a game.

Miami is 5th in the league in passing yards allowed but they're 29th in YPA allowed and tied for 24/5/6 in passing TD allowed. I haven't watched many games but I can only assume teams run more with the lead as Miami has faced the fewest passing attempts in the league.

Giants are average across the board, 19th in passing TD allowed 16th in YPA allowed and 11th in passing yards allowed.

Brady can definitely do it - too bad he didn't get one last week to make it a little easier.

The latest forecast is actually improving.

The odds of light rain when the game starts is down to 50% versus 60% before. Temperatures will actually be rising as the game goes on. It seems like a much better situation weatherwise than the Jets game last week.

The winds will be lightest when the game starts, then get stronger later. Maybe they should start out throwing every down?

Was just now checking the weather on http://weather.boston.com/

Sunday...Cloudy. A chance of drizzle in the morning...then a chance of rain in the afternoon. Highs in the mid 40s. Southeast winds 5 to 10 mph...increasing to 10 to 20 mph in the afternoon. Chance of rain 50 percent.

Could be a lot worse and not as bad as last Sunday.

From what I have seen the weather forecast seems to be getting worse. Steady rain and 25 mph winds through the second half. Forget about records and other bull$hi#. Just win the game.
