Giants' Game Ball: NFC Title Multiple Choice

in Sprint Game Ball of the Week
Email
PrintOnce again we sit here on Tuesday morning and try to determine who made the biggest impact in Sunday's NFC championship for the Giants. I thought about just giving it to the entire team and organization, and while that would have been easy to justify, it's not nearly as much fun as letting you all debate and choose. So here we are, with a few more choices than usual:
Eli Manning--We have to start here, of course, because Manning hung in there despite getting sacked six times and beaten up repeatedly. He threw 58 times, completing 32 passes, ten of them to Victor Cruz in tight spots. He threw two touchdown passes, none bigger than the one to Mario Manningham to put the Giants on top in the fourth quarter. Mostly, Eli Manning found a way to help his team win. Again.
Victor Cruz--Funny how this dude has become a folk hero over the last several weeks. Thankfully his biggest season highlight now is not when he "gave himself up" in Arizona, but rather his 99 yard TD against the Jets that turned our season around. And on Sunday, Cruuuuuuuuuuuuz came up with tough catch after tough catch, mostly on third down.
Special teams--Or, more specifically, the four-headed monster of Devin Thomas, Jacquian Williams, Steve Weatherford and Lawrence Tynes. Thomas made two critical fumble recoveries. Williams knocked the ball out from Kyle Williams to set up the winning field goal. Weatherford--in addition to punting 12 times for a 46.4 yard average--caught the snap, a bad snap, and put the ball down as best as he could to give Tynes the chance to win the game with his right leg, which of course he did. Again, in a huge situation. Just ask Billy Cundiff how difficult that can be. Williams also gets honorable mention for a huge play he made on defense deflecting a pass, and probably a few others. That kid is really emerging.
Ahmad Bradshaw--About as gutty a 126-yard performance as you'll ever see against one of the best defenses in the NFL. But no runs were bigger than the ones at the end when Bradshaw moved Tynes a bit closer for the game-winner.
Defense--It's once again hard to pick one player here. Chase Blackburn had five tackles and two assists and was a monster again. Justin Tuck had three tackles, one assist and 1.5 sacks. JPP had five tackles, an assist, half a sack (heh heh, he said half a sack...sorry, couldn't resist!), and a pass deflection. Osi and Kiwi each had half a sack, and the Giants deflected five passes as a team. Yeah, they botched a couple of coverages on the Vernon Davis touchdowns, but still limited Alex Smith's damage, allowing only one pretty much meaningless third down conversion the entire game.
The coaches--TC, Gilbride, Fewell, and even Tom Quinn. The Giants were prepared and executed as best as they could in the elements and against a very physical, powerful and also well-prepared 49ers' team.
Is that enough choices? Just like last week and the week before that, I could do this all day.

All your options played well but I had to go with ST
making the game winning difference plays.
I got a GIF for that!

I can't believe it myself
But I voted specials as well
Why is Tom Quinn still here? I loves me some Coach Clawfin.
My mouse instinctively went to Eli
But I had to reason with it and picked ST as well

Yep Special Teams it is.
Though I have to give honorary mention to Eli for staying alive.
yes sir.. its the ST
Eli could take the cake. Him, Cruz, and the D kept the Giants in the game, but the special teams WON the game. Gotta give it to the whole ST crew on this one

Manning gets the GB for toughness
I don’t think I have ever seen anyone besides Manning take that many hits and still play so well. The way the SF defense was going after him reminded me of the Bears game two years ago where we knocked out three of their QBs. A seriously gutty performance and he did not turn the ball over once in crappy conditions too.
Major props to our special teams too though, Jacquian Williams is a monster!!!

Damn, how many big games are going to be given to the NYG on a platter? Sunday’s game, the 1990 NFC title game, the Super Bowl that followed it vs Buffalo, the 2007 NFC title game and that following Super Bowl too. One lucky franchise, to say the least.

Tube Gunner?
A 49er fan no less. Dismiss all the physical play the entire game in those games listed and chalk it up to luck. Those games were battles, hard fought by the contestants (HOFers included) that could have gone either way. Turnovers are huge in the playoffs. Many of them are created by the opponent or by the negligence (poor execution) of the team that coughed up the ball. SF was fortunate OSI didn’t recover the first Williams gaffe on the trick play. Actually in that play the lineman did his best to restrict OSI from having a clean shot at recovery. The Giants Specials didn’t give the ball away. That’s not luck.
Persistence is Omnipotent.
Tube Gunner also forgot
to mention the 86 playoff game where we beat the Niners by a score of 49 to 3.
We were so LUCKY that game!
I was at that game..and I had our whole section rocking...
I started hollering “We’re gonna score 49 on the 49ers !!!!!”..Soon the whole end of the field was chanting it…After the the game I got so many high-fives my hands hurt..

that Thomas and Williams said they specifically targeted Kyle Williams because of his concussion history.

Ugh a total non story
He said on air today
We knew about Williams concussion history and thought that a big hit might take him out of the game. No to head hunting. Carton asked him directly. Same as any team in any game. You know a guy is weak, you test him.
Eli is our King!
In every game, teams target
“the weakest link” I didnt even hear they said that, even if they did, it really isnt that big of a story.

not really
in real life, yes..
in football, if I know if I lay a couple good hits on you, I have a chance of causing a game changing play. I will do it over and over again.
that is something they have preaching in football since it was still called Rugby.

they said he has had a lot of them, and if they can lay the hits on him, good things would happen.

Quote from article
"He’s had a lot of concussions," Thomas told the Star-Ledger columnist Steve Politi. "We were just like, ‘We gotta put a hit on that guy.’ … [Giants reserve safety Tyler] Sash did a great job hitting him early and he looked kind of dazed when he got up. I feel like that made a difference and he coughed it up."
They specifically targeted him because of his concussion history, and while they don’t say it explicitly, one can inference that they wanted to give him another. That’s amazingly idiotic and inexcusable.
There is no hope.... there is no future....there is only BLUE WALLS.

Football is a game. Lives shouldn't be ruined because of it.
Trying to put a hard hit on someone is fine. Scrambling their brain isn’t, especially when you know that said person has a history of concussions.

I think you are confusin good hard clean football
with dirty head hunting plays.
Nothing was said about that.
It is better to be silent and be thought a fool, then to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
I agree syler
We would probably be making a bigger deal out of this if we were niners fans. It’s really something you hate to hear about as a fan of the team. I have no illusions that this isn’t something that goes on all the time, but that doesn’t make it OK.
Go Giants!
Arguing on the internet is like running in the Special Olympics. Even if you win, you're still retarded.
That is what football is about
I dont get what is wrong with he said.
Its nothing worse than what we here at BBV have said. Best way to beat a good QB is to knock him out of the game.
No longing injuries.. not IR… but good clean hits that the other person cant handle.
Like I said, its a non-issue.

Ok, so what's the solution
He’s out there…it’s not like you are going to be trying to hit them harder or take cheap shots. There were no late hits, so blows specifically to the head, just hard, clean football hits.
If he’s out there, he has to be treated like everyone else. It’s not like they were saying, “Let’s go out there and give him another concussion.”
The Possimpible - Where the possible and impossible meet - Barney Stinson
Big Blue View - Supporting the Catalina Wine Mixer since 2011
This is how I see it...
A clean hit is a clean hit. I dont think you can hit a guy “harder” on purpose if it is a clean hit (no head shots) and on ST, you are trained to go full bore down the field and try to seperate the player from the ball. I saw nothing to suggest the Giants were targeting him in a special manner other then the speed of the game being at playoff tempo. This is a non-issue being spun as one due to poor word choice by the players.

I heard him on Carton
He was fine, people hear the word concussion now and its like a freaking Spanish Inquisition.
If your worried about your brain, football is not the sport to play. (skiing isn’t very brain friendly either, but no one yells at the trees and ground)
Eli is our King!
I have NO problem with it.
That is Football.
Now if they were illegal hits, late hits, even cheap hits… that is another story.
But to say hit him and hit him hard when appropriate, makes all the sense in the world.
We Giants fans should understand this better than most. Do you not want to hit Brady, hit him hard and hit him a lot, to rattle him and cause problems?
Hell yes, I do.

If he had an injury
He’s taking a risk on his own The Giants trying to exploit that injury is no different then hitting Vick in the ribs when he’s playing with them all busted up
You have a really good job don't you?
It is better to be silent and be thought a fool, then to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
the problem with this is
that players admitted it to the press. I don’t think its a secret that guys haves been targetting Kevin Boss, Austin Collie, Jahvid Best, etc because of their concssions history.

I agree it was stupid to say something
because people will get the wrong idea. Like some apparently have.
football is simple. William went out on the field, he is cleared to play. You know he is now a pressure point. you push on it.

I disagree with your inference.
The way it reads to me is that they knew his concussion history and wanted to hit him hard to see how he’d react. See if a couple hard hits might affect his playing style.

I think you like to read in between the lines and pick whatever sounds bad out. Its no secret in the NFL that if a guy has a hurt body part that teams target that player and specifically said body part. No where did any Giant say they were trying to give Kyle Willians a concussion. They were just going to hit him hard which is in the context of the game. Sometimes you need to hold back on what you say man because you come off as arrogant way too often for my taste.

-Eli Manning for MVP
I agree
But you can’t give someone a concussion by punching a football out of their arms.
That being said…I do remember all the talk before the Dallas game when Kiwi said they would aim for Romo’s hand.
Nobody should be trying to injure anyone…or saying they are to the press.
nywins42 needs a new screen name - "nywins46" sounds great!
Just ordered FatHeads for all available Giants. Now I have something to aim at when punching holes in my wall.
when someone has a knee injury, a arm injury, etc.
you target that, cuz its there and it gives you an advantage. No one’s targeting Williams’ head, but they say to hit him hard and you get him rattled. That’s what you do. You’re on the field, its fair game.
Last night, a comedian died in New York. Somebody knows why. Somebody knows
If they did, they missed the point
The guy had only 6 punt returns in his two year career before Sunday. He had 8 Sunday.
It was clear when he made that diving catch of a punt earlier in the game that he really didn’t know what he was doing back there. That’s why you target him.
If they knock him out of the game the next guy probably just fair catches everything and we don’t get the two turnovers.
Blue is the color of melancholy and honesty
Green is the color of inexperience, envy and nausea.

Does anyone know, do guys on IR who are under contract and not bought out on injury settlement get rings and bonuses for playoff wins and SB victories?
Regardless, here’s looking to our team next year.
If we can not get bit by injuries, we are in AWESOME shape.

That guy is lucky
Yellowstone has a big her of bison, and they seem tame. One guy wanted a pick really close, the bison did the same move, but the guy ended up about 10 feet up a tree.
That video was courtesy of the NPS, just trying to let you know the bison were dangerous.
Eli is our King!
I also think that the "Mike Jenkins/Deangelo Hall Award" for not tackling and giving up on plays
should be a tie between Kareem “you mean the whistle hasn’t blown yet?” McKenzie and David “Eli must have thrown the ball by now!” Diehl
someone needs to take those guys to task for not finishing their plays.

Right...the McKenzie play(s) really pissed me off

To be fair.
Had they “finished” their plays more, we would have had 50 holding calls against us.
The problem, in my opinion, wasn’t not finishing plays but being completely beat consistently on plays.
haha
good point, but watch the play when Eli hit AB down the field for the big gainer.
Diehl actually does a great job handling J. Smiths bullrush, and than inexplicably just lets’ him go and clobber Eli
and McKenzie…..ok, he lets Aldon Smith beat him to the edge on a speed rush….than he just stands around like “yo, Eli, you better throw it….HE’S GETTING BACK UP”. and bang, Eli gets jacked from behind.
i wish it was just them getting beat, (which they are) but they also quit on the plays

I voted for the Defense
Reason being, they matched 3 and outs and kept the 49ers off the board (for the most part) when our offense stalled in the second half, and had some HUGE stops in overtime. They kept giving Eli chances (to get murdered thanks to a lack of protection).
What I think I hear you saying is...
….that the defense stepped up and made big plays, yeah?
by Step up and make big plays on Jan 24, 2012 2:58 PM EST up reply actions
I know both coaches will have both teams prepared
but i’m sorry…I feel as thought the giants have had much tougher comp. GB and SF are > Den and Baltimore IMO.
I feel like the Giants just played an extremely physical OL and DL and that will prepare us for NE’s Lines. Sure the fact that they basically had to ignore WRs last sunday is concerning considering NE got one that’s pretty special, but V. Davis is good practice for Gronk.
and should it turn into a passing fest I thought G. Jennings said soemthing very interesting this weekend.
The Giants NOW jam the slot WR. They used to give that slot WR a free pass. That stopped and it disrupts timing, so hopefully Fewell has a few new tricks up his sleeve for them.
Alos, our O just gotta play for 4 Quarters. this aint SF. We gotta put points on them early and often.

I voted for Special Teams
Without the play of the Special Teams the heroics of Eli, Bradshaw and the defense is all wasted. Let’s not forget that the “experts” all said San Francisco had the better special teams as well.
Gotta be Eli
58 passing attempts under the most pressure I’ve ever seen. 32 completions, putting the ball in perfect position for the receiver almost every time. Specials do deserve special mention, but they only play so many snaps per game. Eli ran 90, yes 90, offensive plays. Our Captain, our savior and the single most consistent player on our team.
Bleeding Blue since 1962
That play where he throws to Bradshaw with 3 49'ers closing on him will be classic
At least, I’ll remember it up there with the Tyree catch, McConkey’s re-catch and Reason’s great stop in Denver.
I went with Special Teams...
As hard as the others played, we would not have won that game without those guys..We’d be pissing and moaning from now until next year…
"When I was a boy and I had no sense..I got my pecker caught in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair, tickled my balls and made me shit in my overalls..."
It was a tough call.
Let’s face it, without ALL of those guys doing what they did (be it Eli, the defense, special teams, etc.) we don’t win that game.
The difference is we EXPECT Eli to be Elite, we EXPECT our defense to stop offenses…
and we PRAY our special teams don’t screw up.
Game Ball to Eli
I want to see Tom Brady sustain 23 hits and 6 sacks and still maintain his composure.
Write in vote: Ann Mara

I gotta go defense
The 49er defense stopped the offense enough to win this game. Our defense shut them down from that field goal drive to the end of over time. To me that was the key of the game. In the 4th qtr the 49er defense gave up a TD and our boys gave up a field goal. If that was reversed we lose.

"Sometimes you make a mistake and you get hit in the head." - Eli Manning
Crunked and Swagged out since 2011
The one thing Skip doesn't seem to get
is that if Eli were at all interesting, he’d have been run out of town LONG ago. Hell, look what happened when he expressed a modicum of self-confidence this summer… 6 months of “IS ELI ELITE!?!? LOLNO! HE ISN’T INTERESTING ENUFF!!”
Also, Eli being so absurdly even keeled is part of why he has proven to be the most clutch QB in history. He gets it. He just doesn’t care.
Finally...the owner of the Cowboys puts the Eli/Romo argument to rest.
Cowboys owner/coach/spokesman/G.M. Jerry Jones was asked Monday at the Senior Bowl about the success of the Super Bowl-bound New York Giants.
In Jones’ estimation, the biggest difference between the Cowboys and the Giants is simple: Eli Manning. Ouch.
Calvin Watkins on ESPNDallas.com reports that Jones subsequently offered praise for Tony Romo, possibly in an effort to put the toothpaste back in the tube. But the point seems clear. Jones essentially said that the 31-year-old quarterback of his division rival has a big edge over his own 31-year-old quarterback.
Perhaps this was Jones’ way of sending a message to Romo that he won’t be coddled any more. Even if that’s true, I fully expect Jones to later "clarify" these words and make a show of support for Romo.
It’s also worth wondering if Jones takes an overly simplistic view of what separates the two teams. We’d give the Giants the edge in terms of their pass rush, their coaching continuity, and their ability to make the right front-office decisions.
Thanks JJ! We’ve know that all along.

The 2012 Mets: Fortune cookie says come back in 2015
Romo has a better physical skillset than Eli, but not a better mental one.
Eli has better pocket awareness, a better feel for the pressure, can get the ball to his checkdown receiver quickly, and keeps his eyes down the field at the last possible second. Romo gets skittish after feeling some pressure, and panics to a degree once the play breaks down.
He may be more accurate and have a better arm, but that’s only half of what makes a good QB. They are both tough, but I’d also like to think that Eli can handle getting hit more without it affecting him than Romo.

I don't think it's necessarily a mind game, but I agree somewhat.
Just because Gronk’s not 100% doesn’t mean he won’t be just as effective. The Giants can’t be more “relaxed” when covering him. He’s a playmaker.
It’s the Super Bowl and everything’s on the line.
I'm not saying he didn't get injured

It is. Trying to tackle him once he gets the ball is one big problem
I’d rather have Rolle matched up against Aaron Hernandez and have Boley/Jacquian on Gronk.
Rolle will be able to match up with Hernandez’s speed and I’d rather have someone bigger on Gronk. He’s certainly not a speed demon like Davis and I’d rather have a linebacker stop him after the catch than a safety.
On their two TE sets, I'd rather have underneath and over coverage...
KP and Rolle on top of Hernandez and Gronk, with JWill and Boley underneath. Bracket both of them. CWeb one on one with Welker, Ross one on one with Branch. Grant as the rover to clean up any mess/RB spy.
Risky but I don’t think we’d give up the big play. DL has the biggest responsibility for run defense. Really risky, but there it is.

That's probably the biggest problem, and probably why the G's won't do anything like I said.
Though I have confidence in CWeb. One thing our safeties could learn from Goldson and Whitner of the 49ers is closing speed. The reaction from both those guys is unbelievable. If they can roll off coverage when Brady goes to Welker and close in on him, I don’t think it’d be that much of a problem. We also would have Grant floating around

"When I was a boy and I had no sense..I got my pecker caught in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair, tickled my balls and made me shit in my overalls..."
He's always putting double moves and he's so darn shifty
Also, it looks like Welker’s yet to hit puberty so all he can grow is the puny mustache.
It really is risky and I'm not sure if I'd necessarily employ that tactic.
The Giants did that against the 49ers and it worked.
But let’s be real. The 49ers offense is nowhere near the Patriots offense. In terms of receivers, the 49ers have Vernon Davis and an overrated, selfish Michael Crabtree. Not to mention, you still have a game manager at the helm in Alex Smith.
The Patriots have Gronk and Hernandez, one who’s a man child, the other’s a big WR. They also have Welker and a reduced Branch. And they also have Brady throwing the ball.
If someone gets free, which given the talent level of the Patriots receivers is a good possibility, Brady will be able to make the throws.
When you go man-up, there’s a pretty good chance that things could go bad.
Look at the Packers game. Jennings put a darn good move on Ross, who was singled up. If Osi doesn’t get to Rodgers, that’s an easy 6.
Yeah, which is why I said the Giants probably don't do this. I DO think its the best way to shutdown Gronk and Hernandez tho
double cover both. That welker-webster matchup does bother me if Brady gets time.

That's why I firmly believe that Spags is a genius and he's not overrated.
First, Romeo Crennel put the book out on how to stop elite QB’s. It was to man handle the opponent’s WR.
Then Bill Polian and the Colts cried about it; hence the illegal contact after 5 yards.
Things were still in flux and NO defense knew how to stop an elite QB and a potent offense like the 2007 Patriots.
It was Spags who first orchestrated the game plan that still resonates to this day. We used that to stop the Pats (Super Bowl and regular season) and Packers in the playoffs.
Now they have tickytack roughing the passer calls on the "elite" ones.

Hernandez is essentially a big WR.
They even used Hernandez in the backfield.
He’s a tough match-up.
The problem with Gronk is that he’s so freaking big. He uses his body well to shield defenders when making the catch. Not only that, after the catch, he’s so tough to tackle.
You'd never categorize Ballard as a WR, but with Hernandez, you can. That's my point. So he's a tough match-up.
Hernandez is bigger than most WR, and he’s faster than most TE’s.
And, like you said, Ballard is not in Hernandez’s class.
actually I was talking about Gronk, sorry.
They are both about the same size.
Aaron Hernandez actually more or less equals Beckum in the size/speed department, but obviously not the production.
Oh, nevermind then.
Yea, Gronk is faster.
With Jake, it looks like he’s lumbering down the field in slow motion.
I wish Beckum would be able to match 1/2 of Hernandez’s production.
beckum is taller and actually faster than Hernandez
(by combine #s), but not quite as thick. Ballard and Gronk are basically clones, BUT Gronk is like .2 faster, which is pretty huge
With regards to the TE position, I wouldn't mind taking a flyer on John Carlson
He did have a shoulder surgery and he’s still rehabbing, so everything needs to clear up medically.
John Carlson isn’t a great blocker, however, he certainly has the ability to stretch the field.
I think the Beckum project is all but done, as well as Sintim. And while Ballard’s been good, having a guy like Carlson adds an extra dimension that the Giants have lacked this year.
Completely agree with you on putting Ross on Branch.
Branch is a solid veteran and Ross can be beat.
With that said, I’d put Webster on Welker and Ross on Branch, because if you do the opposite, Welker’s going to have a field day.
To you Giants fans.
Good game. It pains me (a little) to say this but you guys deserved the win. I’ll be rooting for you guys in the SB. Just don’t expect us to let you off so easy next year. :-)

Lackluster performance
was due to actually facing a good team and a good defense. Remember that prior to that game, NE had not beaten a team above .500 all season. They only played two teams all year with a winning record (Pittsburgh and NyG). They scored a total of 37 points in those two games and lost both of them.
If you add in the Baltimore playoff game (a game they could have easily lost), they have scored a total of 50 points this year (just less than 17 points per game) against winning football teams.

Brady would have wilted in that game! More than 20 hits, 6 sacks – Eli never quit -.Nevet lost it with his Oline -.had the presence of mind to call a TO with his helmet sideways, grass hanging out of his facemask and his jersey pulled onto his right arm. No one -no one else wins that game.

Agree all those QBs that get listed ahead of Eli would have folded in that game.
This is not the 2007 team.
2011 NYG will have their own legacy.
As I said
I agree with this. Eli’s toughness should be listed in the “legendary” category, right there with Bradshaw, Simms, and Favre.
But, its almost par for the course by now… the ST play was something we’ve NEVER seen from this team.
Not dissing the ST
Im an Eli guy from day 1. He has gotten so much garbage from everyone in this league. These analysts are blow hards who either dont put the work in to do their jobs or who dont know what they r talking about. Eli has been great for year -.now,.hes the best.in the league. So many of his ints last year were on tips and guys running the wrong routes! They.occassionally mention the first, but never tje latter. BS, and it always has been. Now, they all get on the bandwagon! Screw them. They all bow at the feet of Rothlesrapist, Rivers,.Brees, Brady and, now, Rodgers. Its all non-sesnse. Eli has been and is just as good, if not, better than all of them. So, Eli is now top 5,.he’s the most clutch, he’s great in the playoffs. Garbage. He’s the best – that’s it!

Just ordered FatHeads for all available Giants. Now I have something to aim at when punching holes in my wall.
I wish Tom Coughlin was running for president...

Come on you gotta add Kyle Williams on the poll. At least for shits and giggles.

DEFINITELY No Game Ball Perry Fewell!!
I know there are some guys out here sticking up for Fewell’s game plan because for the most part the Giants did shut down SF’s offense. But seriously? This is SF’s offense. It should have been shut down. Overall they do not have a very good offense. PF knew coming into this game that he had 1 threat to neutralize; one guy who burned us in week 10 and destroyed the Saints just a week earlier. What was his plan? Let’s try to get into his mind for a second…
“Well, we know from experience that none of my schemes from this year came even close to confusing my players. So now that we are in the Conference Championship game, playing our toughest opponent to date, let’s do something on defense that we have never, EVER done before. Let’s cover SF’s most dangerous receiving threat with our safeties. Let’s play them man-to-man (because safeties are adept at doing that – that’s why they play safety instead of CB), and let’s leave them in single-coverage. No way Vernon Davis beats my scheme.”
And before anybody says “well VD is a great player and he’s going to make plays”, I call BS. He didn’t make any great play. He burned two safeties who are not accustomed to playing man-to-man. He made WIDE OPEN catches 30+ yards down the field. It’s not like he was fighting off 2 defenders to make those catches. That is impossible, because the man who PF should have been using to double him, was trailing far behind in man coverage.
And here is another reason why this is extremely concerning...
The Giants now play a team with the most dynamic pair of TE threats in the game. Who wants to see PF break out the same scheme to stop the Patriots’ TEs? Anyone?

Or more to the point...
Who has faith that PF is capable of designing a scheme to stop these TEs, after watching what he just did with Vernon Davis?

Each game is different. Giants will know what to do about the two TEs and other players. Giants are in the Superbowl now and will know what to do.
This is not the 2007 team.

One plus I guess
Is Gronk has ligament damage in his ankle. Maybe he won’t be full speed.

I hope so. Just a little worried.
I know we were able to take care of them earlier in the year on their field. I’m just worried about Belichick and Brady being so driven for revenge and coming up with some great game plans that PF won’t have an answer for.
Really would be sweet not to just win but humiliate this team with a convincing win.
They have no choice but the establish some run or throw short passes to keep our offense off the field. They cannot win a shootout against us so they have to do that.
This is not the 2007 team.
