Patriots Pregame Thread Week 13 MNF: Giants @ Pats

[slash83]

True that, but I thought his Injury was listed as Elbow the day before and is now Neck, or am I mistaken?

Believe it was neck.

I think was always only ELBOW.

The neck injury is a different guy, a LB, Flannigan-Fowles.

And despite all those stats they have been competitive against some pretty stiff competition.
They have one score losses to Lions, Packers, Bears, Broncos and Cowboys, 2 of which were in OT.
Their 2 wins were against the Chargers and Eagles.
You think they stink, I do not.
You think recognizing the Pats faults somehow diminishes what they’ve accomplished and is a slight, which it is not.

I totally agree, their record sucks but they’re not the Jets or Saints or Browns. They’re talented and capable of beating us if we don’t play a real good game, and our injury situation is not helpful.

Will need lots of quick outs, misdirections, screens, play action and bubble passes against the giants stout DL.

This is a game where the coaching differential will once again be an edge for us, and McDaniels is gonna put together a plan that gasses that DL early.

Every aggressive defense has fallen victim to it this year so far. They come out hot only to have a tough time keeping the game in front of them by mid 2nd quarter.

Historically, McDaniels is great at attacking these defenses.

Patriots Make Changes to the Practice Squad

The New England Patriots announced that they have signed veteran RB Craig Reynolds to the practice squad and released RB Rushawn Baker from the practice squad.

Reynolds strikes me as the type of a RB they might want to move to the game day roster - his 2023-24 production wasn't bad. And looks like not many fumbles during that time either. If he's a bigger body that can power his way forward in short yardage situations I'd love to see him on the game day roster.

He's been in the league 7 years. Why would we expect him to be anything other than a special teamer.

I am going Monday night. The atmosphere was electric against the Jets and I expect it to be the same against the Giants. I am concerned about the left side of the line though .

Lawrence has an ELBOW injury. Not a neck injury..

Look for TE help chipping. They'll need a big game from the WR's as Henry is going to helping at the line.

The giants are terrible against the run and below average rushing the passer.

 

[Ring 6]

Not sure it’s strength vs strength because the Giants stink while doing it.

I'm not sure what Wolf/Vrabel/McDaniels were thinking when they had him in camp or brought him back now

My guess it would be the fact that in 2023 and 2024 he played in 17 games each season, contributed to returns and averaged a few carries a game as an RB, averaging 4.5 yards per carry.

 

[Uptown]

Agreed. As long as Maye has sufficient time, he’ll torch that defense.

DL will be challenged. Someone needs to step up.

Patriots assistant coach high on two rookie pass rushers

Patriots outside linebackers coach Mike Smith is high on two of his rookie defenders.

Maybe not quite a Pro-Bow type year, but still solid nonetheless.

 

[Sect140]

I expect a well-lubed crowd on a cold Monday night. Make us proud.

That won’t be a problem. LOL!
