If it was easy everybody would be doing it so far 9 & 0. So WRONG AGAIN or STILL WRONG.
I'll give you Eli had a good game but so did Brady. The difference was the stupid play calling by Coughlin at the end of the game. Didn't they learn anything from the last Super Bowl. The officiating was poor both teams got robbed on bad calls. Giant defense needs lots of help.
TB12 mounted the winning comeback drive and the highest paid kicker in football earned his keep. A win is win, no matter how you get there. But man did the Pats try hard to give it away. I'm waiting for the Pedro repeats of "Who's your daddy?" to start coming at Brady from the NYFG fans, because he's got huge chunks of time where he does not look good against Coughlin's defense. Passes off target for interceptions, passes underthrown for should have been interceptions, passes underthrown to wide open receivers, strip sacks. 4th and 10 with a buck and a half to go? That's cutting it close... Danny and Tom both looked good the rest of the drive, but even the field goal just made the upright by inches. Close game. Any single play could have made the difference, which always seems to be the case in big games for NE. This time they came out on top, but it hasn't always worked out that way...
ELI took advantage of the less than average db play, and the Pats need to be better at 50/50 balls. ELI chucked a bunch, and the Gmen got em more often than not... Pats still searching for that second corner. I liked what I saw from Butler against OB1. Except for getting taken out by his over the top safety help, it was a great battle between two young talents. Pats also need to be better at not running into their own player, cost AMEN a touchdown...
I'll second the poor officiating - against both teams. Loss of Edelman will continue to hurt; the loss of Lewis is a tough combination to overcome. The Oline as busted as it is, had been doing reasonably well. Tom held the ball longer last night, that cost him.
