If NE can’t run against the 32nd ranked run defense of the Giants they’ve got major issues.

Thats a great point and worth watching how the OLine and Rham perform.

 

[Uptown]

Any word on Tonga? Highly essential player on both defense & offense. Especially now, with Big Country & Wilson out..

They've got major issues. We saw it against Bengals 31st ranked run D.

 

[jdlboot14]

We suddenly have a very sketchy secondary depth issue.
Woods & Battle are a sniff away from playing.
Although Battle had some good plays in preseason, he's a big physical guy, and I'm actually curious to see him play some mop-up duty or something.

It may have been the DC who was fired.

According to Giants fans he wont be missed.

Well, lets pray Munford never has to step on the field. I thought Lowe was a turn-style. This guy's tape from preseason is horrible.

I’ll give em another chance to get it going.

The Giants are not the Bengals.

The Bengals had been punching WELL below their weight all season, especially on defense. They're bad, but they can be a professional team when they want to be. And we can have off games where we're lacking from a certain unit, leading to a too-close win. Lots of personnel changing in that game.

That does not speak entirely for how the Giants will go. I expect some early running woes adjusting to the OL, but otherwise we should have a game where it may even be low scoring, but we dominate the TOP and stifle conversions on defense.

Well I dont think this is an easy game for the Pats and if they think that they will get surprised. As others have said here the Giants are not as bad as their record, I’d take the season stats and throw them away and look at the good teams they played competitively in particular the Lions. Besides Madden shows the Giants winning….LMAO….

Patriots Push? Drake Maye Jokes About Improving His QB Sneak

New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye jokes about trying "some smelling salts" to improve his quarterback sneak ability.

“I got to find a way to get in,” Maye said. “I think that is the biggest thing. I wouldn’t say it is an art. I think there’s a mentality. I got to flip a switch. Or, I don’t know, do some smelling salts in there.”

Jaxson Dart Start/Sit: Latest Injury Update, Fantasy Outlook, and More

New York Giants rookie QB Jaxson Dart nears a return ahead of Week 13. Fantasy managers await news as his comeback could shake up lineups across the league.

If he's still in the protocol it seems a bit optimistic for Dart out there on Monday night but we'll see.

Weren’t the Bengals just ranked dead last or did last week lift them up by one?

[sb1]

Dart it is. Might be rusty but his RPO is something for the defense to watch.

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

So Farmer is off the injury report? Thats really good news . Hopefully tonga limited means he’ll be giving it a go too.

 

[TinhWoodhead]

well its not the SB so we should win this one

 

[Zuma]

I get the Giants may have been playing better lately but "You are what your record says you are" and 2-10 is not intimidating...it's really bad actually. I think people are overthinking this maybe? IMO we don't have to worry about a single aspect of their game...we will dictate the game with how we play...and win.
