Patriots Pregame Thread Week 13 MNF: Giants @ Pats

[sb1]

Pats open as -7.5 favorites at home.



My guess is we'll see Famous Jameis not Dart on Monday night.

If I'm the Giants I put Dart on IR for the rest of the season and not take any chances. Their season is over.

Getting checked for concussions 4 times this season is a red flag.

That ^ could have waited until after you know...

Giants were officially eliminated from playoff contention yesterday. That is when players on bad teams tend to pack it in a bit.

And they aren't going to IR Dart. The guy needs more reps. What he really needs is to learn how to get rid of the ball quicker before he gets himself killed on the field.

 

[Patsfanin Philly]

Am I reading this correctly? Opponents are rushing for 5.9 ypc versus Giants!!! Should be something to exploit.....hopefully.

 

[Borg140]

I fully expect them to go back to Dart when he’s cleared to play.

He does need more reps but the dude was checked 4 times for a concussion which tells me he really had more than one and just managed to pass those tests. Not great for a young potential franchise QB.

and they just fired the defensive coordinator...

Giants fire defensive coordinator Shane Bowen

The Giants rank 30th in the league in points allowed.

Big ‘bounce back’ game needed here. I was happy as heck to get out with a win yesterday but we definitely need a better effort moving forward, even without campbell and Wilson. Nyg is still very bad but probably a bigger challenge than cincy , whoever the qb is will be healthy.

Yeah. That was not one of Vrabel or McDaniels better coached games this season, hopefully a bounce back for them too.

Now we're about to see whether these Pats are legit. If they are they will play well in December which starts next Monday night. They haven't played well in December since the year they won the Super Bowl last.

Right , i had that as a down game for Josh, especially in the red zone. Cost us 11 points and a smooth win

1st and goal from the 1
1st and goal from the 4

NO excuses for not getting tds against the worst defense in the league on both

 

[Patriot Missile]

Great, get to relive O’Hara’s strangle job on Seymour for the 1000th time.

 

[PatsFan2]

Giants have invented ways to lose all year...can't wait for the next episode *cliffhanger*.

Which is crazy because for so many years they were always terrific in December.

If they haven’t already, a win will secure a playoff spot

Hard to believe but it looks like there is a path for the Pats to miss the playoffs even if they beat the Giants. I would imagine that would mean literally every game going against them which would be ridiculous.

I think they clinch on the bye.

Against a Defense that was Expansion Team bad I'm told.

Shame on the Pats for still winning. If they had any integrity, they would have found a way to outright lose.

But the coach is playing for a job, so if the players like him, they'll play hard for him.
