Patriots @ Giants Post-Game Thread

Amendola : playoff run and this season. Huge. For whatever reason, as soon as he started returning kicks - he flourished.

Who the blazes is Kevin Duffy?

Beat writer.
Worst case for Edelman is a Jones fracture pet the Twitter Orthopedists. That's what Dez had and came back in 6 weeks.

You can't really talk about this game without starting with our atrocious oline. Their three man rush might as well have been 6 with the amount of confusion.

I love the effort and the huge late win, but if this pathetic giants dline can be made to look like their Super Bowl teams, imagine what the bills could do to this oline.

Hoping for the best with Edelman, but give all the healing power to vollmer and canon please.

I'd never thought of Malcolm Butler as a genuine #1 CB until today, but that was an almost literal shutdown performance by him. Outstanding.

Was a little disappointed by the interior DL, I didn't get the impression they did much. Whither Easley?

Having said that, the front four did very well shutting down the run, it was a more a problem with a lack on interior pressure on Manning.

Not our greatest performance but it's a win. Now get healthy guys.

Aged 50 years that game. Wow, hell of a game.

And I have to say, the chicken littles were more atrocious than normal. Especially when half time was coming up. **** you little *****es and grow a damn pair.

That kind of chatter got louder when the Pats were just down by 17-10. Personally, I could not understand it. You'd think they were down by 3 TDs.

If there's one thing I have learned in sports: Do not count out this NEP team. And that has held up for years!

And this is why I kept posting: I like our chances!

Have they not learned that when TB has the ball with time on the clock, the NEP are always- ALWAYS -in the game?! And I'm not just saying that. There's no luck involved here. It's cause & effect. And the Pats practice harder- that's why they cause such great effects. That play that Butler made at last year's SB...not lucky. It was a great play; something they practiced.

I think Butler was just born to make crucial game changing plays at the right time at the right place. The kid is blessed and clutched.

 

[ZoisKing]

This is a tough loss for the Giants. That could've been touchdown, and that could've been interception. I hope its painful for them

 

[FourierSeries]

We're going to be unbeatable in the playoffs.

Huge game. Revis could not have done better.

 

[Galeb]

Worst officiated game I've ever seen. This team is tough as nails. Injury is the only thing that can stop them from winning it all.

Yes.

But, Rashaan Melvin was awful. Eli was throwing to Harris (covered by Melvin) at will..
Maybe that is why Ravens did not retain Melvin.

 

[deters]

Julian Edelman is on crutches with a boot on his left Foot. Per Kevin Duffy.

high ankle sprain would make him wear a boot. hope its just that.

 

[farn]

Reporter : why you bring weak sauce "song in the head" question to BB ?

 

[Gumby]

Pure will to Win by #12 and the Team having the best leg in the league (Ghost to be good)

But the injuries just Keep coming and coming;

Did Slater ever come back out?
Edeldude is at least 6-weeks per one of above posters and maybe IR
Hope there were none Else, but TB has got to be sore after a couple of strange (for him) decisions moving around the pocket and taking sacks

 

[manxman2601]

Yes.

But, Rashaan Melvin was awful. Eli was throwing to Harris (covered by Melvin) at will..
Maybe that is why Ravens did not retain Melvin.

He was pretty bad, but he's our #6 guy (if Brown and Roberts are included) and it was his first real game for us. I'll wait and see.

 

[Foxypats]

Just praying that Edelman is back at some point and that it's not a season ending injury .

Exactly. There was still another entire half of football to play and these little sissies come out of the woodwork, "Oh it's gonna be a blowout! We suck! Eli always owns us!" It's obvious they aren't patriot fans. If they were they'd know that New England plays their best footballing the second half, specifically the 4th quarter.

Oh well they can go drown in their own tears, we'll be celebrating the Pats epic win

Aged 50 years that game. Wow, hell of a game.

I aged as well, but WHAT A GREAT GAME by both teams!!!!

Mental toughness of the Pats was unreal and the Giants played their best game in 3 years easy. What a night.
