The official Patriots vs Giants pre-season game thread

[Mike the Brit]

These announcers are so bad.

True. I thought I was getting senile, but even I can see when a fieldgoal is off five yards to the left.

The obligatory Todd Light reference. And missing the name of the Giants' starting quarterback (hadn't it even occurred that the Giants might not start Eli Manning on three days rest?)

 

[JackBauer]

He pushed the pocket a bit on his first few plays, but by the second quarter he was stood up 1v1. Dont get me wrong, he will be effective in a rotation. It's his first bit of playing time.

A bit? First play of the game the OG was 5-6 yards in the backfield.

 

[E1Downey]

Hehe. Nice to see Bledsoe has a nice tan

 

[Joker]

Still the same horrible jingles such as "Poor Mr. Wannabe..."?

yeah...I hear that piece of crap 50 times a day...this is what I want to do....to Borb

What is Zolak whining about?!? There has never been a Patriots player more popular for doing so little. Drew got a lot of crap by the fans, but Zolak was always a fan favorite.

C'mon, that field goal attempt was impressive. You don't realize how hard it is to be that far left of the uprights without going into the stands. That takes skills!

The fact that we has gassed, getting too high, and giving up his back (never against single, btw) and was still stoning guys fighting for a job tells me all I need to know. I'm highly enthused.

All those BP gulf commercials do is remind how scummy BP is....

 

[Mogamedogz]

Drew looked like he had a spray tan. lol

Some quick first half thoughts...

AH looked good, pushed the OL couple times straight into the QB. You could kinda tell he is still getting his legs under him and is playing his way back into good football shape.

As big as 75 is the man is so quick and lite on his feet its amazing, him and 92 are gonna be a force in the middle.

RID looked good so far, does a great job of beating up on WR's at the LOS.

Chung cleans up very well once or if the RB gets past the front 7.

Good job of DMC turning back and playing the ball on that INT.

Hernandez continues to be the best player on O so far.

Brady is a stud.

 

[NEPatriot]

He was the guy that got to the QB just now, wasn't he?

Yup. Looking a little better.

I like your assessment very much and I agree Brady is a stud however he did look off in the beginning tonight

 

[Patspsycho]

Vereen with the chop block.

 

[BradyFTW!]

Breaking news: the Giants have taken to calling the red zone the green zone because it's where they have to "go" and not "stop". Seriously, I'm not making this up, Coughlin was just talking about it on the Giants' broadcast.

 

[DefenseRules]

Sigh...here comes Triplett.

 

[BradyFTW!]

The giants really can't catch a break on the injury front... damn.

 

[NEPatriot]

Vereen with the chop block.

You never want to see a player hurt.

 

[DefenseRules]

That was ugly.

 

[jays52]

Miscommunication on the left side of the line. Blown assignments by both Solder and the TE in the slot (Smith)?

Ya you never like to see a team suffer injuries like that, well except maybe gang green hehe. But seriously never good for the game.
