OFFICIAL Patriots at NY Giants Game Day Thread

[Ian]

Big game as the Patriots look to improve to 9-0 against a team they haven't had much luck against. Would be great to see them go down and make a statement today, so hopefully they put together a strong effort.

Hope for better execution and plz no injuries

With a win, the Patriots will guarantee their 15th straight winning season, joining just the 49ers and Cowboys who have done it since the merger. This is also just mind-blowing considering the success of this team over the past nearly two decades:

Don't see us having major trouble today. One of the thing that most annoys me about Eli is his talent for throwing the long bomb; it looks haphazard, and looks like a toss up but has happened too many times for it to be luck. He is just fearless when it comes to throwing it up, and is not afraid to throw a jump ball. We are going to see one or two of that today, no matter what. That hits at where we are the weakest.

I expect us to sit in a fat cover 2, not the usual single high. I see a light dime with minimum of LB.. probably a 4-2 front.

Still no official word on Sheard, but he does have a genuine chance to play. Pats didn't bring him today for show. See how he feels, though.

Pats have given up only 5 passes of more than 30 yards this year.

Based upon their pre-game workouts.

 

[The Gr8est]

Redskins already have 21 points vs New Orleans.

And the Giants scored how many in an entire game vs the Saints?

 

[JMC00]

Based upon their pre-game workouts.

So if that ends up being the case

Cannon
Vollmer
Collins
Martin
Jakson
Wilson
Flowers


By default Sheard would be active.

 

[DaBruinz]

So, Cannon, Vollmer, Martin, Collins Jackson, Wilson and Flowers.. Means we may have a short bench and some of the walking wounded may not see time.

 

[PatsWickedPissah]

What? Mike Carey got it wrong.

 

[JMC00]

giants starting LG is inactive

 

[farn]

Yup. No Pugh.

 

[PP2]

Pats have given up only 5 passes of more than 30 yards this year.

Hopefully it stays that way, but- honestly, I doubt it. We are going to give up at least one big one today.

That's just how they've always played us.

Really looking forward to this game. Pats lose their number one running back, top three tackles, two guards. How will the NFL's greatest coach meet the challenge?

Go up against a team that is missing 4 of their 11 starting defensive players, their starting LG, #2 WR and #1 TE
