This is gonna be one if those seasons where Andy Reid has a great season and then crushes a home playoff crowd with his game management. Seen that movie.
After the 07 Superbowl win, when I was a freshman in college and on my ADD meds, I took great pleasure in sending a gloating, blistering, estatic email to Curran talking about how he needed to eat a shitload of crow for saying the Giants had 0% chance and would be absolutely destroyed.

New England is still roughly -10000 to win the AFC East, and both Michaels and Collinsworth did a whole bit during the game about how KC destroyed New England in September of 2014, and everyone started writing them off. They ended up going 12-4 and winning the Super Bowl.
Well, winning the division is a certainty since the only other viable
Even if you go back to the start of 2015, they'd be 24-9 in the regular season. They're a good team is the point I'm trying to make. It's not like the Patriots are playing some punching bag that they're going to annihilate.
. Yes and 12-4 is pretty good. No need to throw away 5 losses to make them appear as 14-2.
RE: Well, winning the division is a certainty since the only other viable
That's always been the thing. Even in "down" years, they can count on being 6-0 in the division. Splitting their remaining games makes them 11-5. The fact that they basically get 7 bye weeks a year means they're up for the bigger out of division games - one more game swing makes them 12-4 and suddenly they're in the mix for home field advantage.
losing Berry to an ACL and a possibly hampered Hill is a bummer because they play vs Philly in week 2. I'd have rather seen them lose last night and win in week 2. Now with one key guy definitely out and another key guy on the mend, Philly's chances just got a lot better.

Only read through first few in-game posts, then I gave up..
Arca spot on, then....

It would be best to stay off the game thread Sunday night. The season will be deemed a failure and people will be calling for Reese's head if the Giants lose the coin toss.

I just talk about it, but the truth is, I wouldn't dare go on them..I'll wait for FMiC's wrap-up..I understand being pissed in the moment, but to make definitive proclamations like above or what we WILL SEE starting Sunday night is hard to read, so yes, For my health, I have to stay off..😎
My take away is that even the great Tom Brady becomes ineffective
when his OL is being beaten. If QB's, and I guess RB's, play behind a crappy line they just can't function. You saw both sides of it from Brady last night. In the first half he could have a picnic back there and was picking them apart. In the second half the pressure came, he couldn't wait on his receivers, starting getting happy feet, and looked pedestrian.

P2, we saw that nearly 10 years ago when we slapped Brady around until we let up near the end of the 4th qtr..

Its amazing how pathetic all the other AL East teams have been. And they have been consistently bad with top draft pick every season. It's like having 3-4 Browns teams in your div
What's interesting is that the Chiefs were 4-11 on 3rd down conversion

I particularly like the "Brady duck" when defenders get within 2 yards of him.
Pats offense isn't dynamic enough without Edelman/Amendola. All of their healthy WRs are one dimensional deep threats.
Patriots haven't lost a regular season game at Gillette that Tom Brady started and finished since 2006 season. They were 51-0 before tonite.

Didn't we beat them there in 2011?
Did he not "finish" the game or something?

Isn't that like.. half his career?

What about the Giants in 2011?
I laughed at this for, like, 5 minutes.

The post has been updated to say "vs. an AFC opponent"
Can you believe he's 40?
Why, yes. Yes I can.
Slender, I think. But he had one tonight.

Unlikely he'll achieve all of those milestones but holy shit did he look good.
Some of those runs would have even worked with our OL.
Hill cramped up. He's fine.
LMAO!
Weak front 7.
No pass rush.
Slow Lbs.
WRs struggle to get open.
Saints at home next week? They'll score 40 on that D.
Pats 0-2 to start.
Wow...LOL

You're one of the good ones, my friend..:)
^^^ This post didn't age well, either, as long as we're playing that game.
NE did look very average last night. I wonder if Hightower's absence had anything to do with it :)
