Game Day Open Thread: Patriots-Giants

by Shrug on Dec 29, 2007 4:12 PM PST in Game Threads

The Harlem Globetrotters take on the Washington Gen-- I mean, the New England Patriots take on the New York Giants tonight.

In light of the historical importance of this game -- I believe Winston Churchill will be signing something on field at halftime -- I thought we'd have a little game thread here in case people wanna document this.

Of course you may also go to Pats Pulpit or Big Blue View as well.

I hate frontrunners

and if you look up frontrunner in the sports dictionary there's a picture of Randy Moss.

haha all your brady

hating did nothing, he still had a good game, i will win the the football league

I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me.

remember,

-1 for the NE defense might be the key to your defeat.

write that one down as my prediction.

Refs are cheaters

I digress about washington....

Washington Post calls Seahawks 'eminently beatable'
here
"If the Redskins can't finish their December heroics against the 'Pokes [cowboys], it'll be a double shame because the team they would face in the first round of the playoffs, the Seahawks, is eminently beatable, even in Seattle. Whenever the Seahawks face a winning team, or even a patsy on the road, they have their hands full."

Sad they are more afraid of Cowboys, even w/o T.O. --but the high scoring offense always is scary. --Something we can't say we have with as much consistency... Hopefully Seahawks do showcase their high-powered offense in the post-season.

heard much the same thing in '05

The D.C media loves the Redskins. In '05 they were drooling over them because they'd won the last few games of the regular season plus "gutting out" that awful offensive game vs. Tampa.

Of course the Seahawks are beatable, but I just don't see anything the Redskins bring to the table for the upset.

Moss hits a wall

That was awkward-- he basically ran into a guy who was doing his best statue imitation.

by paul2 on Dec 29, 2007 5:55 PM PST reply actions

Refs suck

That was not a flagrant celebration. Ok, a tiny bit...but with those records being set, they should have looked the other way. The corner ref stands there aghast that his holy space was being invaded. Shameful.

Patriots Pokem

Patriot (Milfury?) poked Giant in the eye. Nice.

by paul2 on Dec 29, 2007 6:36 PM PST reply actions

that was Wilfork

He'll have a nice penalty coming his way from the commissioner's office...

Giants look good

by man on soap box on Dec 29, 2007 7:08 PM PST reply actions

Giants playing game of their lives

Almost hate for them to expend all this energy for little return -- oh wait they are going to gain 'momentum', we know how critical that is. Yah, thats it.

by paul2 on Dec 29, 2007 7:32 PM PST reply actions

What's our criteria?

Hateability? I like Romo better then.

--Shrug

by Shrug on Dec 29, 2007 9:22 PM PST up reply actions

brady is more hateable than romo

it's not even close.

by stlcardinalsfang on Dec 29, 2007 9:36 PM PST up reply actions

Sorry Robert.

I've got to agree that Brady is much, much, much more hateable. He's like Romo in personality, just better at being a QB.

by BrettJMiller on Dec 29, 2007 9:42 PM PST up reply actions

I disagree

Romo's personality is totally different from Brady's at this point. Romo's still got that childlike thing about him. Brady's a great player, but looks about as grave about his mission as his coach does. Every press conference I've seen them do this year, they look and act like they're talking about a tragic accident on the open-heart surgery table. Romo's at least acknowledging that he's having fun.

terrible

by man on soap box on Dec 29, 2007 8:20 PM PST reply actions

oh well

It'll make some AFC team's playoff victory that much sweeter.

Or us?

Give credit to the Patriots, if you give them an inch they take advantage. Congrats to the Patriots.

by Will Kier on Dec 29, 2007 8:33 PM PST reply actions

Pats earned it.

They played and beat very impressive AFC teams which were all gunning for them, including the Giants to get 16 - 0. Can't grudge or qualify there record at all.
