Welcome to Giants Stadium
By Mike Reiss, Globe Staff
December 29, 2007 05:10 PM

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Welcome to Giants Stadium, where the Patriots visit the Giants tonight (8:15 p.m.).

For a late December game here, the weather couldn't be much better. The current temperature is 47 degrees, there is no precipitation, and there is a light wind that shouldn't be a factor in the game.

Looking down on the field, the NFL Network has a stage set up for pre-game, halftime and postgame commentary. In one end zone, a significant number of television cameras are set up to capture what could be a historic night. The media coverage of the game is expected to be overwhelming.

We'll be filing updates throughout the night.

[Snake]

I'm psyched...it's chilly and grey here in So Cal this afternoon...perfect football weather.

I've got all my gear on; my wife has her gear, and we are desperately trying to put off mixing the first bloody Mary.

I don't think I got this psyched even during the Super Bowl years. This is really exciting. What a helluva season this team has given to us fans.

Thank you, Patriots...you are the best there is and ever has been.

GO PATRIOTS!!!!!!

[ljuneau]

I've got my Pats jersey on, so do my wife and three kids (11, 7, and 3 year-old). We are ready for the final regular season game heading into the path of perfection.

Thanks for a great year, New England Patriots.

[ShrewBeer]

lol, belichick is out on the field wearing the cutoff hoodie INSIDE-OUT! this guy is freakin great

[MoLewisrocks]

Charlie is there with his kid to watch his adopted son...

BB is on the field now shmoozing with Mooch. Deion is hollering for him to get the game plan...LOL Coach is featuring the inside out sweatshirt look this evening for pre game, Mooch is in his Armani overcoat - what a couple. Bill looks animated and happy though.


This saturation coverage is really something. NFLN has replayed segments of every game this afternoon. Next up is a Sabol sitdown interview with BB.

Edit to say it's a Mike Mayock (NFLN's college draft guru) interview with Bill and I didn't know this but he played for coach.

[Italian Patriot]

Go Patriots!

[sieglo]

We know BB isn't fvcking around when he reverses the hoodie. A very god omen! Now if it were the red hoodie, I'd be nervous.

Why would you have your game uniform on over 2 hours before the game? Tedy is on the field too, warming up in cut off sweats and a hoodie. That Watson is in NY is a positive sign...

I think he was just trying to be as accurate as possible so people didn't jump to conclusions about him playing.

[MoLewisrocks]

They just did a roundtable discussion with Schefter, Peter King and some NY sports reporter. Schefter asked the NY guy if what happened with the video scandal should effect Bill's chances at COY. Of course, he said well I think it has to...cheating...the children...:blahblah:

The interesting thing was King cut him off and said he IS one of the 50 AP voters and while he will consider what happened he's thought a lot about it lately and his two candidates are McCarthy and Belichick, and today he is leaning towards Belichick. The vote will be held Monday.

Those two are a bunch of idiot windbags.. But speaking of idiot windbags, there is Don Shula...

[Snake]

start drinking bud!!!! GO PATS!!!!!!!!!!! WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!Well...I did cap a couple Miller Lites...presently attacking some baked beans and pork chops...bride might want to sleep in the spare bedroom tonight. :D

Bloody Mary mix is steeping in the fridge. An hour and a half until game time.

i dont get king. he is a decent writer, but he absolutely tried to HANG bill after spygate. in the past few months though, he has had nothing but praise for bill and the team, and has written several articles to that affect. i think maybe he was just using spygate to get attention and advance his career, as collinsworth seems to have followed the same path.

Great summary of what the NY guy said. That's what it sounded like to me too. :blahblah: :blahblah:

It will be a big accomplishment. But I just can't get psyched about this until they win the Superbowl.

it would be embarassing to lose in the playoffs and be 16-0 in regular season.

With all said...I'm looking forward to a Giant crushing

[PatsFaninAZ]

Good for Garo. The first Dolphin I've heard to give an honest, but acceptable answer: "Yes, I want them to lose one, they can win the rest."

I have no problem with this answer.

In fact, if the Pats go 19-0 this year, and some team is 12-0 in 2015, and they trot out some of these patriots after they are retired, I would have no problem with the same answer. The key is to stop talking after that. There's nothing else to say -- no rancor, no bitterness, just an honest answer.

Minus the spygate episode, he's always been extremely complimentary of the Pats, Brady, and BB. To many non-Pats fans he was viewed as sorta a Pats homer, which is why I'm surprised many of you view him as the opposite.

[MrBigglesWorth]

I'm sick of seeing these Dolphins. are we gonna have to put up with them all playoffs?

[Sean Pa Patriot]

With all said...I'm looking forward to a Giant crushingIt certainly will be tough to go onto some opponents' boards if they lose...but that's the nature of the game.

It's a long tough haul to win everything including a perfect season. Losing will be tough, but if they succeed, it will be ever sooooo sweet.

Tell him to go make a few more neckties. The ugliest, least athletic guy to ever step on a football field. :eek:

Sorry about that.

[Snake]

Tell him to go make a few more neckties. The ugliest, least athletic guy to ever step on a football field. :eek:

Sorry about that.Can we ever forget Garo's nightmare moment when there was a botched snap, and Garo decided to pick up the ball and run with it, and when he realized about nine huge defensive guys were coming at him full tilt, he tried to throw it...the rest is hysterical...Garo buried under that pile.

[Pats726]

Looks like Troy may NOT play....OK..I am a BIT disappointed but...if that is the way it is OK...

[ShrewBeer]

Looks like Troy may NOT play....OK..I am a BIT disappointed but...if that is the way it is OK...

if troy doesnt catch a pass tonight, im not sure he ever does in the regular season again

[PatsFan#37]

According to Reiss's Pieces Troy is inactive tonight....:(

[Pats726]

if troy doesnt catch a pass tonight, im not sure he ever does in the regular season againHe's inactive...MAYBE he plays in the POs

[Sean Pa Patriot]

Well glad to see Marshall Faulk is not biased or bitter.. :rolleyes:

[Boston Jay]

I'm surprised he didn't start foaming at the mouth.

[ShrewBeer]

im really pissed that i saw that...all it did was get me extremely mad. i hope marshall gets raped at some point in his life.

[SVN]

iam more pissed that no one asked him outright that "did the pats cheat to win SB 36 in his individual opinion" and get him on record like shula started the asterisk nonsense.

[PatsFan#37]

WOW dude.........:eek:

[#1patsfan4life]

trying to listen or watch the game at work. anyone know of any sites that will work. my work blocks alot

[PatsFaninAZ]

Wouldn't it be great if Moss and Brady break records on the same play?

Only way it could happen is if Brady's first TD pass goes to Moss.

I'd really love it if we could get some of the record stuff out of the way early, not only because it will mean we'd have scored at least 2 TDs, but also because I worry a bit that it might be a distraction that affects the goal of winning the game.

Which brings up an interesting question -- if you had to chose between a win with Brady throwing zero TDs or a loss with Brady throwing 4 TDs to Moss, which would you chose? My first instinct was to say "win of course," but actually, it's close in my mind.

[reflexblue]

trying to listen or watch the game at work. anyone know of any sites that will work. my work blocks alotI know the feeling I tried to hook up an antena on a cable ready tv and bring it to work didn't work. I think you can listen,but sorry I don't know were it is o-line but I know others here do.

Im trying to get ANY streaming going, can't find a sopcast link. Not that I think it will work on this pitiful net connection I have.

Anyone know of an AM station carrying the game in Northern Neck area of VA?

[SVN]

anyone have an technical theories how we are going to manage pass protection with our thin o line ? seems like more rushing attempts since its easier to block for that . what do u guys think ? really concerned about brady tonite with neal and kaczur out.

It's a bad matchup problem. Thin o line v. good d line. For all the talk about Eli and the Giants offense in the pre-game, this could be the story of the game. I think we need to have some quick slant stuff and runs. It's the kind of game where you'd like healthy tight ends.

You'd also like some pass plays designed for our running backs. Interestingly (I just looked it up) our RBs have only 16 catches all year, which is amazing. Has to be near the bottom of the league, although not surprising giving our WR depth. Still, you'd like to have that option.

[rishid]

Yea I am a bit scared about the weak right-side of the line. We will just have to keep Faulk in on the right side to block anything that gets through. This will actually be a tough game, I am just hoping the defense can make some big plays (read: intercept Eli at least 2 times) and balance the game out.

[PatsWickedPissah]

The OL shuffle is an issue. Obviously BB has done nothing about it.
Neglected to have Watson play. Won't throw short. Won't throw screens. Won't use Faulk and Evans to block.
We're doomed!

[fumbrunner]

ARGH, Don Shula again. Are we gonna have to hear from him in every game?

[Kdo5]

I am really having butterflies right now. Don Shula on........

buk buk buk..BA-BAWK!

[fumbrunner]

Big Surprise. Faulk takes the Giants. Bitter much?

[Johnny Mac]

Marshall Faulk picked the Giants? SHOCKING!!!!!!

[Keegs]

wow the COMMISSIONER is coming up next?

I hope he's there to give the Pats back the pick that he stole from them.

that'd be kinda nice.

[Snake]

10 minutes, boys....I'm deep into my first Bloody Mary....

HOOOOWEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!

[Sean Pa Patriot]

Marshall Faulk picked the Giants? SHOCKING!!!!!!


He is getting a little ridicoulus...

[Robdude]

The Giant fans are ready liosten to ther boooooos

[stcjones]

I f'in hate Collingsworth.....he is laying it on thick tonight

[BadMoFo]

The game on NY Channel 9 is blacked out here, any blackouts in NE?

[Robdude]

I wish NBC and CBS could have used there own broadcastors

[Johnny Mac]

Goodell about to announce he's forcing the Pats to forfeit their week 1 win.

[EasyMac]

See all the red seats? Guess there's alot of late arrivals or else alot of no shows..

[Pats Fanatic]

I can't see the Bucs and the Giants that much fun. Maybe it's just me but I see a bore fest.

[Patriots Nation NY]

Yup... The butterflies are kicking in as I'm trying to enjoy my adult beverages.. :singing:

[BadMoFo]

This game has such a Super Bowl feel to it. Would've been cool if the last game was against the Dolphins. How could they have hyped that one.

[Snake]

Nice mouth on the chick singing....mmmmm

[EasyMac]

I wish NBC and CBS could have used there own broadcastors

Oh for god sakes yes.

[stcjones]

Nice mouth on the chick singing....mmmmm

thinking the same thing........wow...

[Brady to Brown]

Lets go boys. We need a win, 4TD's for Brady, 2 for Moss...

And no injuries :singing:

[Robdude]

one minute......here we go!!!

[MoLewisrocks]

Goodell is lying - he wanted the fans to see all the NFLN promos...LOL ;)

OK here we go - chicken ****s to the short bus please. Start your own thread and kvetch to your hearts content.

[cavtroop]

UGH

I can't get it streaming (net connection sucks too bad). I did find the game on AM radio down here in hicksville, but its the Giants broadcast. Blech!

At least I can hear the game!

[#54]

#54 is in the house all the way from Copenhagen, Denmark.

I'm in the kit and drinking imported Samuel Adams beer.

Everybody have a GREAT saturday evening !

GO PATS!!

[PaulNEPats]

God damnit hobbs

[stcjones]

hobbs fuggin again......unreal

[dkmsoxfan88]

Come on now, that's not very Eli-like!

[Robdude]

Good waste a timeout

[festy1986]

hobbs can be replaced thats for sure

[Brady to Brown]

Waste of a red flag.

[Patriots Nation NY]

Hobbs of course

[Sean Pa Patriot]

Bad play by Hobbs, not that he has made great plays consistntly.

[KevinAbq]

Waste of a red flag.

Any edge they can get I'm sure they will try to take. :D

[stcjones]

Waste of a red flag.


It would seem that way,......never know with zebras

[Deus Irae]

Why are people *****ing about Hobbs? Manning had all day to throw the ball and threw it in a nice arc to a tall, quality receiver. There's not a cornerback on either team who would have defended that play. It's not as if there was any safety help for him there.

[Robdude]

Burress is a tall solid receiver lets not throw Hobbs under the bus right away. Sometimes the other team catches the ball.

He didnt get burned he Burress made tyhe catch

[SoxFanNH]

Coughlin will show that classic "huh? face" once again...

[weswelker#83]

giants will lose the challenge

[PatsSteve1]

That play on Hobbs isn't much different than when Moss goes up against a 5-9 CB. Hobbs was right there, but he's too short to make much of a play.

[Atlanta Patsfan]

A couple of nice throws the Manning. I think play action is the way for the Giants to go.

[Sean Pa Patriot]

Hold them to a fg, our red zone d has played better...

[Brady to Brown]

If all of you negative nellies made your own thread the rest of us might enjoy posting here while watching the game.

[SVN]

they might rule it a catch..

[#54]

Come on - Hobbs was man-man with Burress. Who the hell can cover that?!

[Atlanta Patsfan]

That play on Hobbs isn't much different than when Moss goes up against a 5-9 CB. Hobbs was right there, but he's too short to make much of a play.

True, the coverage was actually good.

[Sean Pa Patriot]

Glad to see Hobbs came to play today...

[PatriotNation]

D needs a turnover right here

[Sean Pa Patriot]

Looks like the key is let Manning beat us.. We will focus on the run..

[Remix 6]

Come on - Hobbs was man-man with Burress. Who the hell can cover that?!

he didnt even jump. sure he wasnt far behind but he didnt jump ..just got his hand there but thats where his height hurt him. had had jumped a little..coulda gotten a piece

[BadMoFo]

Not the start we wanted.

[PaulNEPats]

No worries, they're feeding off the crowd right now. We'll get that one back.

[ironwasp]

Well, I guess we're in a game

[Brady to Brown]

TD Giants. Now its our turn to get the ball :rocker:

[Patters]

Let's hope our O is a lot sharper than our D. That was pretty embarrassing.

[Remix 6]

poor Tedy. i wouldnt wanna tackle Jacobs .

[SoxFanNH]

O well let the Giants get their hopes up, haha.

[Skree]

Looks like the key is let Manning beat us.. We will focus on the run..

I hope they make a little bit of an adjustment to that plan. Or Eli goes back to tossing picks

[Sean Pa Patriot]

Looks Like a game...

[stcjones]

looks like another bloody fistfight........****!!!!!!!

[BadMoFo]

Lot of game left, we have to get some help for Hobbs. Plastico will eat him alive. He is way too tall for him.

[SVN]

first opening drive TD allowed by the pats all season...:(

[rishid]

Buress looks healthy though, which could hurt us if we focus on the run

[dkmsoxfan88]

Eh. I won't count on them completing 50-yard passes every drive. Not Eli.

[stcjones]

Lot of game left, we have to get some help for Hobbs. Plastico will eat him alive. He is way too tall for him.


They better make some adjustments....

[Sean Pa Patriot]

This proves more of a point , we need to resign Assante....

[BadMoFo]

Another first. First team to score a TD on us on the opening kickoff. Took 16 games to do that.

[mac]

All year, whenever the opposing quarterbak looks left and throws left, the pass is complete.

[KevinAbq]

Brady looks pretty damn focused tonight. Nice shot before going to commercial.

[Snake]

Giants are a little fired up...need to take some heat out of their fire.

Brady is good at that.

[Deus Irae]

The team is 15-0 and the bleaters here couldn't STFU for one bloody drive? Pathetic.

[SVN]

the lack of pressure on manning was the worrying part of that drive especially on the TD..i think the pats will start blitzing a bit now...

[Robdude]

Our D needs to hit Eli a few times. He has had too much time so far

[PatsFaninAZ]

Manning had real nice protection that drive. Need to make him uncomfortable.

Let's see how we do playing from behind.

[BadMoFo]

All year, whenever the opposing quarterbak looks left and throws left, the pass is complete.


It's unfortunate. Ellis is just too small, he always seems to be in position to make the play, justy can't.

[reflexblue]

The Giants are feeding off adrenalin,and the crowd. The Pats just need to weather the storm.

[BadMoFo]

Now we know why they did this triple simulcast: advertising.

[Remix 6]

did i see Strahan get lifted up a little bit when Maroney blocked him on the first play?

[Thirdbasekid24]

2 plays, 2 first downs, no problem GO PATS!!

[PaulNEPats]

Catch the damn ball Watson

[BadMoFo]

Come on Ben, you had blockers.

[Patriots Nation NY]

Watson special..

[Remix 6]

come on Ben. focus man

[Sean Pa Patriot]

Nice catch Watson, although it was low...

[PatsSteve1]

Tom is getting rid of the ball quickly

[#54]

Brady pitching them low today. Not easy passes to catch.

[BadMoFo]

Go for it?

[Sean Pa Patriot]

Eeeks... Goin for it...

[Remix 6]

Why no 21 stickers tonight for the Pats?

why no 91 stickers for every other team?

[BadMoFo]

Good job, Tommy.

[Remix 6]

gotta love Brady getting up with emotion and slapping Tuck's ass

[BadMoFo]

These Giants are stuffing the run so far.

[Sean Pa Patriot]

Running game may be a little tough with 2 new guys on the right side..

[BadMoFo]

Totally forgot. Wes Welker new single-season receptions record for the Pats.

[#54]

103 catches for Wes so far ... amazing season!

[Robdude]

I give Light credit so far he has withstood a pretty good bull rush every pass play and he has held his own

[Sean Pa Patriot]

Watson can not catch a cold.... Sorry...

[BadMoFo]

Come on Ben. Two now.

[makoute]

Block hands watson

[Michigan Dave]

Watson is struggling.

[Brady to Brown]

Watson has poor hands.

[BadMoFo]

Give him a chance, Tom.

[BadMoFo]

Ghost makes it 19 for 22, not a bad season.

[pwes]

Tom does not look happy with that drive.

[Sean Pa Patriot]

Watson really hurt us on that drive...

[#54]

Gost Kick is good ... hold looked a bit sketchy though!

[SVN]

that last throw looked like he it got away from him...again to double covered moss.

[Remix 6]

Watson

-hits the weightroom. yep
-hits the track. yep
-hit the film room. yep
-hit the trainer's room. yep
-hit the jugs machine? not yet

[Patriots Nation NY]

No player is more "In" Consistent then Ben Watson...

[Seymour93]

It will be nice to have Dave Thomas healthy next season.

[RayClay]

Nice job on the hold. Cassell or Hanson?

[Deus Irae]

Brady's presence on that sack attempt by Osi was just tremendous. That's the sort of thing that helps separate him from other quarterbacks.

[Sean Pa Patriot]

Stallworth is really in the dog house, or Gaffney has passed him up big time...

[BadMoFo]

True. Although one guy was murdered, which is a little more "tragic".

That's ignorant. One life is more valuable than the other.

[stcjones]

No player is more "In" Consistent then Ben Watson...

he will redeem himself I am sure....

[Brady to Brown]

Watson really hurt us on that drive...

To be fair Tom is stepping into those throws and they are only traveling 5 yards. Tough to catch those.

[Robdude]

wow Spann!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nice hit

[pwes]

True. Although one guy was murdered, which is a little more "tragic".

What a dumb thing to say. One guy died trying to save someone else's life. Something that should be honored yet isn't. Doesn't matter how it happened they both died yet the entire league choses to honor only one.

[SVN]

we need a big effort from our D on this drive.

[Sean Pa Patriot]

1 Quarter almost gone, no td yet...

[PatriotNation]

Need a stop right here to get the ball back

[mr3putt]

To be fair Tom is stepping into those throws and they are only traveling 5 yards. Tough to catch those.

Rubbish

Stone fingers

[RayClay]

Gost Kick is good ... hold looked a bit sketchy though!

thought he saved a bad snap, no?

[Sean Pa Patriot]

To be fair Tom is stepping into those throws and they are only traveling 5 yards. Tough to catch those.


Ill be fair, and he has missed the last 2 weeks..

[festy1986]

note to nfl network, take a cue from cbs, we dont need a commercial every change of possesion or td.

[#54]

Nice job on the hold. Cassell or Hanson?

It was Hanson.

[Deus Irae]

And there's the NFL trying to strong arm the Cable companies again.

[stcjones]

wow Spann!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nice hit


yeah!!!! Gints came to fight tonight....Pats need to bloody them up as well.....still confused by the Tom Coughlin gameplan here.......but thats what they want....BEAT THEIR A##ES PATS!!!!

[Snake]

note to nfl network, take a cue from cbs, we dont need a commercial every change of possesion or td.You do when you have given coverage to two other networks, and you have a HUGE audience to sell your product.

[BadMoFo]

Let's get to Manning II.

[Sean Pa Patriot]

Way to stuff the Run, now please not let Manning beat us...

[Remix 6]

its a physical game. we've seen physical games like few weeks and im liking it. Meriweather had a nice tackle on opening kickoff..then Spann on the 2nd.

Defense is hitting..Jacobs hit Bruschi. Giants D hit us. its physical

[BadMoFo]

Yup, they can run on us.

[Robdude]

They were coming for Eli these last two plays

[#54]

thought he saved a bad snap, no?

Could be - no replay in Denmark. Could well be the snap that was off.

[BadMoFo]

That play should have never happened, but I like the results. Give it back to us.

[ironwasp]

That's more like it. Good tough D.

[Sean Pa Patriot]

Thank god for a drop, blue on the coverage... Samual back on Burres good move..

[Remix 6]

Harrison ..lucky no flag phew

[Sean Pa Patriot]

Great field position, but the play action is prob not going to work tonight...

[BadMoFo]

Wes Welker is fearless, right TW?

[Frezo]

How did WW get even 8 yds on that return? He rocks!

[WeltRekord]

Bend but don't break defense - looks like another near heart attack game for me, why can't I just relax on a saturday night?

[SoxFanNH]

Anyone else feel that they take commercial breaks a lot more often. For example after the punt...

[Snake]

Harrison got a great free lick.

[RayClay]

Collingsworth sucked. Eli plainly threw behind Toomer. He had to reach back the opposite way he was running.

[frankiesfly]

looks like toomer has ben watson syndrome.

[Brady to Brown]

Not saying one is more "valuable". But #21's death was more public due to his probowl status in the NFL. Therefore, when almost every other team wears the decal, you know that the Pats made a conscious decision not to wear it, which seems strange.

And the rest of the league has decided not to wear the 91. Whats your point?

[cblesz]

Ben Watson cannot catch and Ellis Hobbs cannot cover...

[Sean Pa Patriot]

No one biting on play action.

[dkmsoxfan88]

No more running the ball.

[Sean Pa Patriot]

YIKES!!!!!! no running game today, third and long...

[BadMoFo]

Let's just pass all game. This running game isn't working tonight.

[Remix 6]

ah yes. open men breaking through our OL

[mr3putt]

Josh up to his old tricks

Brady under center and no TE

Fn A

[stcjones]

great playcalling Josh.......

[#54]

Giants linebackers are wide awake tonight. They came to play!

[Robdude]

Ben Watson cannot catch and Ellis Hobbs cannot cover...

OK really this is silly

[Atlanta Patsfan]

How about more shotgun???

[frankiesfly]

No one biting on play action.

The way the Pats pass, and Maroney at running back......not suprised.

[BadMoFo]

Wasted field position, or not?

[Sean Pa Patriot]

thank god for the refs...

[Robdude]

A little cheesy but I will take it

[Sean Pa Patriot]

Time for a no huddle... and we have a Stallworth sighting..

[#54]

Good catch by Stallworth

[BadMoFo]

Almost the horse collar there.

[stcjones]

Wes Fugging Welker!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[dkmsoxfan88]

Horse collar?

[pwes]

Time for Brady to Moss.

[Remix 6]

Colinsworth is right. our OL is just getting pushed back. They dont even need the speed to go around..they just push our guys backwards

[#54]

HEY - Horsecollar ... I thought that was a nono??!!

[PaulNEPats]

Horse collar?

Looked like one to me too.

[pwes]

Okay the run is NOT working.

[Sean Pa Patriot]

Right side having a hard time run blocking, but glad to see a screen pass...

[BHSL2]

We need Neal, Brady and Kaczur back...

[Remix 6]

HEY - Horsecollar ... I thought that was a nono??!!

he didnt pull him down. he reached in but luckily he spun him and didnt pull him down or else..injuries

[Remix 6]

**** **** **** ****. no

[stcjones]

Gints are playing very dirty football out there tonight.......blocks to the back....chops......hard to figure when both teams are locked in playoffs

[PaulNEPats]

DAMN... moss down

[BadMoFo]

Moss is down!

[pwes]

NO NO No No. Not Moss OMG.

[Robdude]

Okay the run is NOT working.

So far but I think it will. Maroney breaksa thru the line once and then daylight. Crap Moss!!

[Sean Pa Patriot]

MOSS HURT .... Looks ok

[BadMoFo]

He got jacked up!

[dkmsoxfan88]

GREAT

WHERE'S THE PENALTY? The ball was in the air, that was helmet-to-helmet!

[Remix 6]

he aint down baby. Hes alright. Letsgo

[#54]

Brady has begun looking for his options, and it works.

Sadly - that might be necessary, since Moss gets clocked.

[pwes]

Okay he looks alright just got the wind Knocked out.

[Thirdbasekid24]

He is fine, and now I expect Wilson to get burned big

[BadMoFo]

I guess no Randy on this play, I bet it's a run.

[Sean Pa Patriot]

He might be a little dazed,but looks ok...

[Patriots Nation NY]

WOW.. .This running game makes me want to puke.. Carry on..

[BadMoFo]

Maroney can be a pretty tough runner when he wants to be.

[CheekyDave]

They ran LM knew he wouldnt score, want Moss in for the TD now

[rishid]

Arg... the running is not working.

[dkmsoxfan88]

Time to pass for the next 3 downs...

[SoxFanNH]

GREAT

WHERE'S THE PENALTY? The ball was in the air, that was helmet-to-helmet!

The refs should be looking for this too...

[rishid]

They ran LM knew he wouldnt score, want Moss in for the TD now

Belichick doesn't play like that.

[Sean Pa Patriot]

I guess no Randy on this play, I bet it's a run.


Good guess.. But my heart is in my throat when Brady is going back, the Giants seem out for blood.. Nice crowd by the Giants cheering when Moss is hurt... Glad to see NY fans have soo much class:mad:

[Remix 6]

They ran LM knew he wouldnt score, want Moss in for the TD now

why would it score? OL hasnt done **** yet in run blocking or pass protection. Includes Pro Bowl Light
