I hope the Pats beat the ever living sh*t

What the Giants did wsa without blitzing, which was the key to why it worked so well. Frankly, I was shocked -- not because I didn't know the Giants were that good, but because they dominated the Patriots OLine, which had not been manhandled like that -- or anything close to it, all year.

The Giants D-Line's domination of the Pats O-Line is why the Giants won that game, pure and simple.

Patriots is a very smart offense. Thinking back -- Tom Coughlin offered a simple explanation for how the Giants defense contained Brady's complex offense.

If you try to 'stack the box' that's when they throw. They use runs as passes -- They're going to come out with something new every game and work it into their basic scheme. If you try and play tight against the pass -- that's when they run. It just so happens that Spags had the ability to change and adapt in the game. He had a lot of set-ups to counter.

There are some teams that run the same offense all the time with some minor tweaks. If only it were that easy against the Patriots.
