Super Bowl the Road to Perfection: N.E. Patriots vs. N.Y. Giants

It’s late in the game and the fans are in a frenzy as Tom Brady and the New England Patriots are marching down the field with ease. It’s 3rd down and three, ball in Giants territory and Tom Coughlin and the Giants call time out.

Brady sets up in the shotgun as Randy Moss spreads left with Wes Welker in the slot and Laurence Maroney in the backfield. Brady takes the snap and drops back in the pocket. Michael Strahan and Osi Umenyiora put pressure on the pocket and Brady slips to the outside to evade Umenyiora. Strahan cuts off the run as Brady scrambles, He looks deep down field for Moss then left to Stallworth, Welker slides across the middle and Brady pumps and fires a perfect spiral to the leaping Randy Moss as he one hands the pass and stumbles into the red zone as he’s tripped up by a Giant’s defender.

New England Patriots in Search of Sweet Sixteen “16″

The Patriots are one game away from “PERFECTION”. If they win tomorrow night they will become the first team in NFL history to reach the pinnacle of 16 wins and 0 defeats in the regular season.

This game has brought a lot of discussion as to whether or not the New York Giants will or should rest their players for the playoff game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

I think the Giants will play their hardest and their starters for at least the first half. If the Pats open the game up early and take a big lead look for the Giants and the Pats to rest their starters in the second half.

The Patriots are destined to break a few NFL records and I feel they will break the following records tomorrow night.

• Most points by a team in a regular season 556 (held by the 1998 Vikings Randy Moss was on that team: They need a TD to break it.
• Most Touchdown passes by a quarterback 49 (held by Peyton Manning) Tom Brady has 48 and will break this no problem.
• Most Touchdown receptions 22 (held by Jerry Rice) the amazing thing about this stat is that Jerry Rice did this in the strike shortened 1987 season in 12 games. Randy Moss has 21 and Brady will get this stat out of the way early on.

The Patriots last week broke the record for most touchdowns in a season ironically against the team that held the record, the Miami Dolphins who had 70 and now the Pats have 71.

If you are a Pats fan don’t take this game lightly as the Giants are a good team and have a couple of great defensive ends in Michael Strahan and Osi Umenyiora who collectively have 22 sacks between them. The Pats know how to prepare as they have defeated all the rest of the teams in this division.

Look for the Pats to open the game up early in the air as Brady will march down the field and score the first touchdown with a pass to Randy Moss. The Pats will need to stop the Giants running attack but the Pats defense against the run ranks 10th in the league and the Giants are ranked 4th in rushing on offense.

The Pats rank 4th in total defense and the Giants 6th.

This won’t be that easy but it will depend on what happens early on. The Pats will go for the records and will go undefeated and the Giants will not be able to stop them.

New England Patriots 34

New York Giants 17

Weather forecast is dry and 44 degrees at game time and breezy and 37 by the end of the game.

GO PATS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
