Deus Irae

I figure it's time to get more into the nuts and bolts of the game, and I thought I'd ease into it by starting with the least valid comparisons of all: Position group by position group. So, without further ado, I'll make it quick and uncluttered so that the Giants posters can argue with a clean slate:

QB
- Patriots by a mile

RB
- Patriots

OL
- Patriots

TE
- Patriots by a mile

WR
- Giants by a mile

DL
- Giants v. pass, Patriots v. run, Giants overall in this specific matchup

LB
- Patriots

DB
- Giants

K
- Patriots

P
- Patriots

Returns
- Even (Giants edge on KRs, Patriots edge on PRs)




Fire away.......

Don't tell everyone else that, according to them the Giants have a better team in every area blablabla, I agree though with that.

I guess fans of other teams would say the Giants have better RBs, but healthy BJGE/Woody/Ridley is better than 2006 Corey Dillon and Bradshaw.

I could see Giants fans arguing QB is a wash or slight pat advantage but we all know its more than that.

That's how I have had it, agree completely.

JackBauer

I agree with your ratings as presented.

I might call that one a draw.

There's only two conclusions for Patriots fans on rookies. They are either a bust or being fitted for their bust in Canton.

Catch42

I'll take a stab at it

QB
- Patriots

RB
- Giants

OL
- Giants although I like the Pats future at tackle better.

TE
- Patriots by a mile. That is true even if Gronk can only play half the game. The Giants are getting by with Ballard, but he is injured as well.

WR
- Giants by a mile

DL
- Giants by a mile

LB
- Patriots

DB
- Giants

K
- Patriots

P
- Patriots but it's close

Returns
- Patriots. The Giants have been trying to find a decent returner all season.

When healthy, I think that Bradshaw is the best RB on the field. But somehow amidst all the discussion about the Gronkle there has been barely a peep about Bradshaw playing with a broken foot. In this matchup, what do you want to take away? For me, it's Manning. That might open some lanes for the running game, and I am fine with that. I look for the Pats to top the century mark including a good helping of Ridley.

Could you flesh this one out for me? Here's the raw data:

Patriots Team: 4.0
BJGE: 3.7
Ridley: 5.1
Woodhead: 4.6

Giants Team: 3.5
Bradshaw: 3.9
Jacobs: 3.8

On the injury front, BJGE was limited by his toe this year, but he's healthier now. Bradshaw's foot injury is still a problem.

Catch42

Bradshaw is avg 98.3 total yards per game in the post season while BJGE is AVG 52.0

Bradshaw still only practices half the week but he has been extremely effective in games during the post season.

QB: Pats > Giants
RB: Giants > Pats
WR: Giants >> Pats
TE: Pats >>> Giants
OL: Pats > Giants
DL: Giants >> Pats
LB: Pats > Giants
DB: Giants > Pats
ST: Giants = Pats
Coach: Pats >> Giants

Pats have a slight advantage in matchups, 7-6 (if each > sign is a point).
