What will the single most important factor be in Sunday's game?

[jmt57]

Rather than another thread on what the latest player on the Giants had to say, I thought a discussion based on the poll on the home page may be more interesting.

The question is this: what do you think will be the single most important factor in Sunday's game?

The poll has a maximum number of ten possible options, so if there's one I missed please list that as well.

• Pats OL vs NYG pass rush
• Pats secondary vs NYG receivers
• Pats front 7 vs NYG running game
• Pats pass rush vs NYG OL
• Pats WR/TE vs NYG secondary
• Pats OL/RB vs NYG run defense
• Special Teams
• Gronkowski's ankle
• Coaching: game plan, play calling, and in-game adjustments
• Players focus & motivation; effect of all the talk & press clippings
• Other

Your thoughts?

I'd say pats O line vs. Giants D line. If Brady can get going they're dead. He couldn't get going the last two times we played them until the end, and then they were able to come back and beat us because the game was close.

The score, I'd wager.

If the Pats have no turnovers, they will win...

The score, I'd wager.

I agree. if we score more points it hardly matters (well no serious injries to any participants as well).
