The Giants actually scored 24 points, not 28. The Patriots also played without Brandon Spikes and Patrick Chung on defense as opposed to Gary Guyton and Sergio Brown. Big difference there too.

And for all who have said Brady didn’t do anything until the 4th quarter in the regular season match up? The score was 0-0 at halftime. Eli didn’t do anything until the 2nd half either.

You can’t root for Marcus Cannon or Mark Herzlich, you heartless weasel? Have fun watching a movie…alone. Definitely alone. By the way, your name doesn’t make a whole lot of sense…The only thing the Skins “rock” is piss poor play for the last 20 or so years. I think your name meant to be “skinsembarrass”.

homelanddefense says:
I hate to say it, but this Pats fan is taking the Giants next week.
———————————————————
Then you aren’t much of a Pat’s fan. Have you even HEARD of this coach they’ve got; Bill Belichick?

I mean, it’s not like Belichick is going to look at the first game, and come up with an entirely different look to minimize the Giants strengths or capitalize on their weaknesses or anything, right?

Or does a 9-7 team have no weaknesses????

Freakin’ geniuses ……. I don’t even know why they bother to play the games if you Einsteins have it all figured out.

_______________________________

So because I dont think they are going to win a game that means Im not a Pat’s fan? Im sorry that you Patriots footy pajama wearing homers dont like to hear that your team can lose. I lose the Pats and I HOPE I am wrong. Its just my opinion on the game.

And yes I am well aware who the coach is, but that doesnt mean he can overcome having very little talent on D. Just because you have the best coach or QB doesnt mean you win. And dont make it sound like he wins every time he gets a second crack at a team. He had two matchups with the Jets last year before losing in the playoffs. Lost the second game to the Giants in 2007. And its not like Coughlin is a high school coach.

Of course the Giants have weaknesses, and so do the Pats. You think the Giants wont go after our weaknesses? I am looking at the game from an objective point of view. My OPINION is the Giants win. Its not what I want just how I feel.

Quit being a jackass.

Really? They’re only gonna drop 5 into coverage and rush 4? I know we’re all feeling good about the “matchup” but let’s be real … Brady is sick hella good and they’re gonna want all 11 defenders (12 if they can get away with it) on the field at all times.

I posted right after that and corrected it to rush 4 and drop 7, but they deleted the comment.

Keep talking Giants

————

Where is anyone “talking” (trash, presumably — because otherwise, you have to “talk” in order to ANSWER QUESTIONS that are asked of you)? Please point it out to us.

As I’ve said numerous times on this site, Patriots fans are miserable and pathetic excuses for human beings. They live vicariously through that team, a team that they know got its reputation built upon cheating to win Super Bowls. A team that gives them the only purpose for living, as they are erstwhile useless, miserable, inferiority complex-ridden, insecure eunuchs who especially have the aforementioned complex with respect to New York in general.

THIS FURTHER PROVES IT. Just making up this esoteric “talking” out of thin air in order to make people appear to be bragging and villainous. It’s a tired act.

Giants 24

———-

Please break it down to me… objectively (if it is possible of a Patriots fan), how you figure they will score 30 points?

Ain’t happenin’!

————-
You also said the Giants couldn’t beat them at home earlier this year.

———–

Giants didn’t cheat to get there nor win, though.

*2001.
*2003.
*2004.

I don’t have a horse in this race, but you gotta like the Giants in the SB. The Patriots remind me of the Packers and Saints — lots of offensive fire-power, but with a crappy defense that is their Achilles heel and will be their downfall. The Giants are healthy and playing well on both sides of the ball, with a tenacious pass-rush, as we saw in all 3 of their playoff wins, including the sh!t-kicking of the Packers. And Eli and his WRs will make it a long day for the Patriots’ pass defense. Honestly, I don’t think it’ll be close.
__________________________________

You talk about the Pats’ defense like the Giants’ defense was superb. The Pats were 31st, but the Giants were only 27th. But the more important stat is the Pats were 15th in points allowed, but the Giants were a miserable 25th, giving up 58 more points this year than the Pats did.

That said, throw all that BS out. So far, both teams have been playing defense like they are on a mission, so anyone, who points to the regular season right now is bound to have information as bad as your original hypothesis. In the post season, the Pats have given up only 15 points per game, and the Giants 13…stellar.

Both are playing great at the right time, and it is going to simply come down to playing the game, but you go ahead and think that it will be a blowout. Bet big.

—————-

Packer fans cited those same stats out of context. So did Niner fans. Are you going to get with reality (Osi is back, Tuck is healthy/(ier), Herzlich will play, and the fact that Fewell has condensed the scheme and allowed the younger guys to fly around and make plays instead of thinking more than reacting) and stop referring to stats that were mostly comprised when several key players on that defense were out for significant stretches of the season. Those defensive statistics have had ZERO bearing on games in almost two months now.

I mean, it’s not like Belichick is going to look at the first game, and come up with an entirely different look to minimize the Giants strengths or capitalize on their weaknesses or anything, right?

Or does a 9-7 team have no weaknesses????

Actually no, it would make him one of the very few reasonable Patriots fans who exist. He’s not a blind homer who thinks they will always win and gloats to everyone within earshot, even when reality and results belie their foolish bragging.

———-

You do realize that Bradshaw and Nicks didn’t play in the first OR second half of that game also, right?

———–

Has nothing to do with this game.

Just stop with the prognostications. The Giants have the advantages at every area, but the game has to be played. PERIOD. You cannot account for fumbles, bad calls and potential for injury to key guys. On PAPER, the Giants indeed do match up favorably against New England whether the Giants are on offense OR defense. But games aren’t played on paper.

Ask the Philadelphia Eagles, who I’m sure all of us here commeting share the common bond of flat out HATE towards them.

———-

You cannot transpose the results from one matchup to another. Football is all about individual matchups, then unit matchups as a whole.

New Englands offense is played in a box of about 15 yards. They have no one that can stretch the field. If the Giants don’t miss tackles it will be difficult for New England to score.

Giants offense is playing at a high level right now and much improved since week 9. If Flacco can throw for 300+ with no wrs I like Elis chances. Is Edelman going to cover Cruz in the slot? Love that match up.

It will come down to which defense can get the most pressure on the QB and can force a turnover.

That is not running of the mouth, that is answering a question and complimenting the opposing team.

The biggest question of these playoffs is to figure out whether fans in green bay, San Fran or new England have the worst reading skills.

They have a slightly more impressive resume than a team that won a Super Bowl 5 seasons ago on the back of a miraculous helmet catch in the final minutes.

A)..it was 4 seasons ago and B) they ALSO won it cause they put Brady on his a** more then he ever was with a similar cast of characters which NOW also includes JPP.

(Bonus note: “We’re only going to score 17 pts? OK! (sarcastic laugh) – Tom Brady, 2008) Oops.

2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011. This is the Giants 2nd Super Bowl in FIVE seasons. Just like the Patriots won 3 in FOUR seasons even though the games were spaced over just 3 calendar years (first win in Feb 2002, 3rd win in Feb 2005). Anyway, 7 teams (including TWICE to the Redskins) didn’t have a huge problem with JPP and that d-line. It’ll be a battle though for sure. And yes, Brady did eat those words. Can’t argue that.

Ain’t happenin’!

Pats shouldn’t have any trouble building the hatred.

That said, all of the big blue bandwagon should be careful underestimating a motivated Tom Brady and William Belichick. They have a slightly more impressive resume than a team that won a Super Bowl 5 seasons ago on the back of a miraculous helmet catch in the final minutes.
