Giants vs Patriots Thursday Night Recap

in there for New England. Handout to Bolden for the touchdown. Sony Michelle checks in, Brady takes prows ahead. He's got it for the touchdowns. Passages pick five Gilmore and that is number three for Daniel Jones. Jones fort hill of it up, dirt down ball comes out picked up by the Patriots in van Noy times Kyle van Noy scoring the Patriots second touchdown from defense and special teams on the night, salting away a win over the Giants, a

score that is kind of misleading. It was closer and also a bigger blowout than we expected, and it was a weird game in many ways. The Patriots defense committing or getting four takeaways off of the Giants scoring fourteen points. And really, you know, this game went into halftime pretty close. It was a one score game going into the fourth quarter. And yet the Patriots, who remained undefeated, still look like the creamy the DFC. The Giants, Uh, they are who

we thought they were. Daniel Jones, a rookie quarterback making his first starting prime time against Bill Belichick, played how we expected. Uh, you know, it started out odd, but I think the result is what we expected. Yeah, it was exactly what I expected. I tweeted this out. By the way, Uh, Jeremy doing the A t N Thursday. That's right, we have to introduce our introduce. These are

voices you are not used to hearing. Yeah, um, Eddie Spaghetti here crossing over from DDFP and Fantasy now doing the A t N recap because the heroes are over in London having a great time. And I believe today also is Mark Cecil's birthday. Saw birthday, Mark, Happy birthday? Mark? You are they're probably sleeping right now, they're not out and about probably not what time would you be there? We're doing this around like I think this is an

eight hour time difference. I I don't really know. They've been busy with doing shoes. I've been seeing all their stuff on social media. They put out a pot today. Um working hard. I know they are, and I hope they're having fun frist crossing the city. But yeah, thirty four team. My pregame tweeter, I said thirteen. I said that Darius Slay would have a big game. It was Golden Tape with the biggest game. Although Slaton did have targets as we're talking about off their before we started.

Uh defense, I said, Golden have a good game. He did. Um, you know, Lonza Carla good Jack Crab made a couple of good players, a couple of bone headed plays, just sloppy penalties again, which is carrying more from last week from the Vikings game, and uh and then yeah, you have a rookie quarterback going into Foxboro where Belichick has never lost at home with facing a rookie quarterback. So I kind of knew what this game was getting into.

But from the start it didn't it didn't feel like, you know, this game is not going to be the Patriots going down the field and the Giants looking at napped and they kind of scorn and it will be over by the end of the first quarter. It was like a really wonky star the wind and like a couple of guys are heard in the Patriots squad. Obviously Gihnts had a lot of injuries themselves, and it's like, Okay, this maybe a sloppy game, that weird SUPs gonna happen.

A lot of weird stuff did happen, that's right. It started out. Everybody was talking about the Giants coming into the game. You don't have Sa Kwan, you don't have Gallman, Evan Ingram, Sterling Separd. Who is Daniel Jones supposed to throw to get the ball to against a defense that is taking the ball away from everybody Jameis Winston Kirk, uh, everybody that they've played against, and uh, you know, it

didn't start well for the Patriots. Tom Brady moved the ball up and down the field, but they went for fourth on the on an early drive. They didn't get it. The Giants moving the ball as well, but punt it right back. But when the Giants pumped the ball back in their own zone, big play from the Patriots special teams block block punt Chase Winovich, of all people, the best, arguably the best player Patriots player from Michigan on the

field tonight. Not not Tom Brady, Chase Winovich. Uh receives the pump block touchdown, runs it into the end zone, and um, you know, if you're somebody who owns the Patriots and fantasy, this is you know, this is what you want. The defense special teams four turnovers again and the pump block return. So that's pretty much five turnovers. Uh, And that's how that's how it got started. But then

pretty much the Patriots score again. But Daniel Jones, who struggled mostly in this game throwing tight window passes as he is wont to do, has been doing it at a great higher than any other quarterback in the league. Um, finally breaks went open on uh the Golden Tate a sixty four yard touchdown pass. With the Patriots at fourteen nothing, we think that the Giants are lost in this game.

Breaks it out to Golden Tate over Jonathan Jones, and suddenly the Giants are back in this And then almost on the very next drive, Marcus Golden shows up and attacks the Patriots left side. Ryan Izzo is protecting Marshall Newhouse, who's a fill in on the left strip, sacks Tom Brady. You don't see that very often, and Marcus Golden uh

takes it. Yeah, a couple of points to make to go back to the we're recapping here and the beginning of the game when they stopped him, it was like a third down stop and a fourth down stop, and then you know Golden gets the sack and an early part of the game. And now I'm thinking to myself, like, Okay, this defense the Giant Stevens actually came to play there. Here, they showed up. This defense has been much better since the second half of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Gamehere they

obviously came back and win on my game. And I'm thinking to myself like, oh, man, like, only if sake I was playing, and only if Evan Ingra was playing, and only if Stirling Sharp was playing, you have give him a uh some kind of safety blanket. Like in my head, I'm like, Okay, well, you can cancel out either Slating nor Golden Tate because Stephon Gilmore, in my opinion, is probably the best cover corner, if not a defensive MVP. Stuff on. Gilmore had to pick in this game and

also five passes defense. Yeah, I mean, he's he's insane, He's I mean, I'm shocked that Jones even wanted to throw in his direction. So very confident Jones, I mean, he you see it on a lot of these, way too confident for a rookie. But you can see that he wanted he wants to take chances, and that was evident in a lot of the passes attempted toward Gilmore.

He had an insane amount of passes there were with like less than a yard of room, and I think he only completed the touchdown you mentioned the Tate and one of the past that was completed over ten yards so early on two because with the defense playing that great and they're just doing these like dink and dunk little screens with Jones, he's not taking shots down field. And I'm like, you're you're you You're getting to Brady, You're stopping their run, and they're like, Josh, Gordon is

all banged up, he's not he's not playing. So you had the chance to strike and they were in striking distance and then all of a sudden, like you mentioned, the two straight scores is fourteen fourteen, and now it's like, Okay, we have a ball game. This is not not what I expected whatsoever. I thought They're gonna be out of this game literally within a couple of minutes, and Brady would look great and whatever. And I got to the

point where Brady wasn't making plays. The Giants were making plays, i know, defensively, and I'm like, is this is the Patriots team twenty nineteen or they like a replica of the two thousand Baltimore Ravens. Like in my head, I was going to say that I was going to tweet that out and get eating Alive on on Twitter, and luckily I did not do that because I mean, he

ended up with a pretty good game overall time. Brady not to go light at the end of the game, but he yeah, I mean, right after the Marcus Golden uh funnal return, you see Belichick, you know, kind of shaking his head, rubbing his eyes on the sideline. The Patriots still had four minutes left in the half, and they embark on probably I mean, obviously they're probably their

driver of the game. A level play drive took four minutes, and they eventually scored on a Tom Brady uh t D run, which is you know what you get QB sneak from Tom Brady. This was the first game, interestingly enough, that Tom Brady had a T D run, didn't throw a touchdown through a pick, and also fumbled. It was a very odd game from him. He was short a lot of weapons today. He came in without Rex Burkhead,

without Philip Dorset uh. And then pretty much halfway through the game, Josh Gordon goes out with a knee injury, but he suffers on the return of Marcus Golden uh into the end zone. And so by the end of the game, Brady is playing with h mix of James White and Sony Michelle Edelman. But then you're also playing with Jacobe Myers, Gunner, oh Osholski Oslowski, I don't really know how to pronounce his name, from the Midge State who played like about fifty snaps and uh and Ryan

Iszos your tight end? I mean they were talking earlier in the game because Crafts said something that NFL Network about how you know Gronk hasn't signed his retirement papers yet, and Rob Gronkowski showed up on the Fox pregame show. They asked him about whether he was thinking about coming out of retirement, and he said, only when I really feel it. But I'm keeping the door open. When you see a game like this where a lot of the weapons go out, you cut Ben Watson this week, maybe

you think about trying to bring Gronk back in. I know he looked like he was having a great time with stray Hand and the guys on that the Fox UH halftime set. But the Patriots really they lost a lot of guys today. And this I mean and Brady,

I mean, they moved the ball after the half. They right out of the half, they went on a six team play drive UH over took over nine minutes, and then there was a missed field goal, and then they went on another nine play drive UH turnover on downs because they don't trust Mike Nugent, as they should not

trust Mike Nugent. At this point, and this was a one score game into the fourth quarter, Daniel Jones had the ball down seven points and if he had somebody like say Kwon, like Sterling Shepard, maybe they couldn't moved the ball. He needed on safety blank because like I said before, Stefan Gilman, who in the second half had a pick on a drive. The Giants wore moving the ball,

which was a total momentum killer. And yeah, if he had a safety blank, if you had Evan Ingram, who's a mismatch night are if you have sae Quon Barkley and can i the They were running the ball with Hillman up the gut so many times in her own it's like I wanted to scream that it's not working,

Like it's just not gonna work. It. It was giving me PTSD back when like Kevin gilbrid was avience a coordinating they would do like the third and nine Eli draw plays and it's just like, stop pounding, this is not gonna work. First of all, you have a larger Penny in the roster, use him the shortge anyway over Hillman. I mean that shows you the difference of Sa Kwan Barkley versus whoever, because sake and will bounce it outside,

he will make a play. He's more dynamic in the passing game because Jones were just forcing I don't know if it was the wind or it was just because that was the only thing the Patriots were giving him on defense was to just dump the ball off to your running back. On let to make a play. Well, me and you both know that. You know they're not Hellman or Penny are not going to make the places at stake Quan or even to an extent, having Wayne Goldman is a little bit more of an upgrade um

over those two guys who played today. So that, yeah, that was that really hurt the James. A shame that Sa Kwan didn't get to play. Belichick, you know, Belichick has these guys that he really enjoys ever read guys like that Sa Kwan. He was I love talking talking lovingly about sa Kwan earlier in the week, saying, you know, there's there's really nothing wrong with him as a running back, and you know they're glad that they're not playing him.

And with a defense like the Patriots have where there's no shining star, but everybody contributes. The secondary can shut teams down, can shut Cody Lattimer down or Darius Slayton down, you really need somebody like sa Kwan, somebody to carry the ball, touch the ball five times. It was a shame that he couldn't get back from the ankle injury

by the time this game kicked off. But again they had the ball with eight minutes, just over eight minutes to go in the fourth quarter, uh Jones gets blitzed from Dron Harmon dumps it down to Hillaman and you know the play of the game that you heard at the beginning of this podcast, uh strip sacked by Jamie Collins who's having a great year and picked up by Kyle van Noy after a scrum runs it in and

from there they really didn't have a chance. Yeah, the the offensive line, a lot of people were saying on social media was reading this offensive line is a lot better, and I wanted to just reply to everyone, but like, yeah, it's a lot better than was last year. Last year you were you know, it was Will Herndon is his rookie year, and Solder and him didn't have the chemistry, and the lest side of the line and how Appia was injured and the right side the line was a mess.

And obviously now with the trade, the trading away Olivia Vernon getting in Kevin's Eisler and then having a Ramors play right tackle, and Will Harndon is becoming a pretty good left guard and obviously Halloo, it's it's a much better unit that being said last week versus the Vikings. The Vikings had their way with them. So there they are starting to crack a little bit. And I expected the same from this Patriot's defense because one of the

best defenses is that you've seen in recent memory. Um. And then that goes back to what you were saying too about you know, not having the safety blanking out, having se kwon that force that was forcing Dalia Jones to make these tight window throws. And he had three interceptions in this game. Eli had three interceptions, and I think his career verse the Patriots over like it was like five games or whatever it was, including the playoffs.

So like, you know, it's a really really bad game from someone who felt like he had to do more. And he wasn't running the ball. He wasn't scrambling as much as he had a couple of scrambles, but none that really moved the ball move on chains, no, No, I mean I saw some mobility in the pocket, but other than that, And look, I mean it's it's a combination of him being a rookie and the Patriots being really really good, Like they're just a really good defense.

They're really good team. The defense they were coached well, like the Giants office line is not the best. The Giants were out, were without their best offensive weapons, literally their best receiver, at their best tight end, and their best running back who maybe the best ending back in the league. And you're throwing a rookie quarterback into fox row again, like I reiterating, it's it's just not a recipe you it's a recipe for his ass. You know,

you're you know, you're getting into with this game. But that's why it's staying so much that they were one score where they were tied at one point, they were obviously one score away going into the fourth quarter, like they actually could have won this game, and it's just it's a classic Patriots game. And then just like bleeding you out slowly and so you know what's gonna happen, and they're gonna just you know, control the clock. Eventually

they're going in the field and score. And that's where they had, you know, the easy touchdowns. The bolden Brady had two rushing touchdowns himself. And I feel like a lot of passes in the second half of the game, I'm not sure. I'm Manny, you probably have the SATs

how many uh offensive players the Patriots had versus Giants defense. Well, I can tell you that the Patriots ended the game and this was kind of like how the Colts beat the Chiefs, except I wouldn't called Daniel Jones Patrick mahomeshots point. The Patriots finished the game with thirty nine minutes of time of possession. I mean even just gassed. I mean the Patriots offense, uh, you know, move the ball well, but they also didn't finish. But the Giants had no

chance afterward. You know, the defense is gassed and then you just keep going down and by the time that the final defensive touchdown came, Jihants couldn't move the ball and then the Patriots come right back down to make it a three score game. And it's exactly what it felt like in the second half. It was. It was the Giants defense was just gassed. They were doing everything they possibly could with a bunch of back obviously missing, like guys a linebacker and the defensive backfields and mess.

Uh it's just it's a it's a really tough year. And they say they somehow figured how to stop or at least slow down the pages for a bit, But once you got to the like the lates, I can have. I felt there were so many receptions by the Patriots players they were there were just like no guys near them, like no one was being covered. Like you have these backup slot guys coming in and back like tight ends and like guys who no one across the country even

knows their names, and they're just catching balls. There's no

defender within seven yards in a circle of them. And uh, I'm like, well, that's gonna happen when you're on the field for that long and you're offense not moving the ball, because then when the offenses, uh, you know, trying to score points, it's just like around the middle, around the middle, and then some kind of like week third down little pass behind a lones scrimmage to a running back and it's not going anywhere, and like they were not taking shots.

Like I said before, Jones didn't completely Like we had two passes there were longer than ten yards. Like that's not gonna win you ball games with the Patriots in Foxborough. Again, I don't know what we should have expected with the Giants coming in here the Patriots defense, and maybe this is a good transition into what we expect from both of these teams going forward. The Patriots defense UH through

six games have sixteen turnovers, sixteen takeaways, fourteen interceptions. No other team in the league has more than seven, so that's double. They have a plus one two point differential. They get the Jets next week on Monday Night Football, so we think that maybe they can go into uh the week eight UH at seven and oh, but then the Patriots face of pretty uh pretty Staunt Gauntlet, Browns, Ravens, Eagles, Cowboys, Texans,

Chiefs with a buy somewhere in there? You know, people are you know they were talking about earlier before the game. Can we compare this defense to the Bears UH of eighty five or the Ravens of two thousand. We're looking at the early season competition, and by the end of this game, their competition has a record of seven and twenty two by my account. You know, how are you supposed to judge them when they're beating up Luke Falk and Ryan Fitzpatrick and Daniel Jones on the road at

home on a short week. I don't know. I think I think the turnovers tell a different story. I think that the fact that they are blowing teams that they should blow out. I mean, they it doesn't look pretty, but at the end of the day, they won by three scores when they weren't playing their best, and I think that suits them well going into these games against also young quarterbacks like Sam Donald, Baker, Mayfield, Lamar Jackson, h Carson and Dak who have history, DeShawn Watson and

Patrick Mahomes. These are all young quarterbacks schemed going against the defense scheme by Bill Belichick, who should probably um, you know, ruin their days a bit. A few questions about that. Well, first of all, I'll go with their schedule. I know you said like it's like you called it a gauntlet, but I think it's a gauntlet the Browns, Ravens, Eagles, Uh, Cowboys, Texans, Chiefs, and I'm obviously then it gets really easy. It's like a singular commercial. Just keep the bars keep going up.

But in reality, how many games of those do you think they're gonna lose? Because I'm looking on like Cleveland's mass they're gonna be Cleveland, Baltimore's come back down to the right, They're not as good as we all thought. They're gonna beat them between if you want to say they'll split between the NFC East teams, the better NFC East teams and the Eagles and Dallas all right, I mean Dallas lately has looked whatever. But I think they're

a good squad team. I think goes where um the Eagles, Houston. I don't trust Houston it ever to ever beat the Patriots, like in the history of mankind, that will never happen. And then the one game that everyone wants to see is then versus the Chiefs. That will be interesting game. But I mean, yeah, it is. It's a gauntlet in terms of it's you're not playing Luke Falk, You're not playing the Dolphins, You're not playing the red Skins, you know, or the I guess the Giants at this point. But oh,

don't put don't put yourself. I know, I know, I'm I'm I'm being very self deprecating. But the but I still think they're gonna come out. Maybe I can't see them losing more than two games that I don't even think they would lose too, maybe one at worst. Well, it's it's not you know, it's not a problem with

the Patriots lose one or two games. I mean, they're really only competing with the Chiefs for the top seed in the chief see maybe the Bills, but you don't expect the Bills to you know, be anymore than a wild card threat there. Uh, you know, the question is can they go and defeated because people want to crown this team as a all time great defense and the offense is not picking it up. They have a lot

of injuries on the offensive side of the ball. I'm not sure if the offensive line situation is as solid as they prefer. The tight end situation the same way. The running game today was not Son of Michelle's best. They couldn't really establish the run um. You know. That's what you know, that's what you want to see out of the Patriots. You're expecting great things. Uh, you're expecting

maybe an undefeated season or something close to it. And so that's why it's gonna be interesting because they really I mean, I don't know how the NFL schedule gods did this. They split it into pretty much like you know, Sam Houston State for six straight weeks and then you're going right into the Auburn game. If you're you know, to compare it to Alabama exactly. Yeah, you're scheduling those cupcakes and you they the schools. You have to pay the school to come play, you eat. That's that's that's

really what it is. And it's just so weird too that this Patriots team is. They're just so they adapt to what they have to like to become. Because right now Tom Brady, I mean, he had statistically was an okay game like thirty four. He did have the pick um, but it looks good at the end. But during the game, I wasn't like, oh man, he's gonna pick us apart.

I lost that feeling that about time Brady that he's going to I shouldn't shouldn't say he'll he could win you games, but I don't fear him like I maybe used to, or someone like Pat Mahomes who's gonna just close his eyes and sling the ball six yards, Like I just Tombody will not do that anymore. He doesn't have to, you though, because the defense is elite or whatever is there's a better term than elite, because they're

by themselves right now. And then you have you know, you have four or five running backs who could suably just come in and get on yards in the ground and catch a bunch of passes. So like they don't

need Brady to be this amazing superhero at quarterback. They have a great ground game, they have a great defense, and that's enough, and he could be an elite game manager and figure out how to beat these teams because they're just that much smarter, that they're that much more well prepared than the thirty one other teams in this league. It's amazing. I think it's amazing. We're calling future Hall of Fame or forty two year old likely all Pro Tom Brady a game that's that's okay, and and not

not just a game. He is the elite game. He is the game managers of game managers. He's the he's the change, he's the branch manager. He's he's as good as a continent. And like I said, I'm not shocked that there's gonna be getting I mean he look, he just he threw yeah, thirty one completions through for over three yards Firth the Giants, Uh, you know, only seven first downs, forty almost forty minutes of time of possession. I mean that this is how you defeat And that's me.

It's like it's not just about his numbers and his stats. He I think that he knows he's calling the right place, he knows to do. Him and Belichick together, they're gonna do what they have to do to win game. That's why I don't know. He doesn't have to be a superhero. He could be this. He could be what he is right now at forty two. And he's going to be limited physically because of his age and and but that's okay. Uh, they're one making certain like you mentioned, is like the

evins of line. If you don't want to see Tom Brady at this age with a bad offensive line him scrambling around, because then that's gonna change everything about this team. The one thing they need to do is to run the ball consistently into at least uh get get these running backs the catches out of the backfield. You can't do that if you have uh, you know, Marshall new House playing left tackle and needing the tight end to constantly help, you know, Chip block him for an entire game.

That's just not gonna help you at all. And fail to do so. Lorenzo Carter, so yeah, he got hit six times, sacked three times. The Patriots I think will be all right for at least next week. Uh. The Giants it's not quite a lost season because you still have to watch Daniel Jones and you know you're not the Redskins. At least you know you're not you're not the fourth team, and you're not you know you're not

tanking like the Dolphins. There's something to to play for here, but you need Shephard Ingram to get back and see what this offense could be at its peak. You only got half of that against the Bucks, and that was not even their best half. No, yeah, totally. I mean you could see from my mood, I'm not a day. I'm not here crying about the lost row. I I went in pretty indifferent, going, okay, let's just let's just take some positives from this game. And there were some

positives versus the best team in the NFL. Um there's some glaring negatives though, Like you know, Dalen Jones, the best thing about him so far this year in comparison to ELI, was his ability to convert on third down This this game, they can their only twenty They only converted their h third down plays, which is your Again, that's a really bad thing to do in Foxboro versus team, and like this, so that I didn't love I mean

the sloppyiness has continued. I said it before was the Vikings game, and like in Dan Jones had a problem with fumbling snaps too, and now he did not follow, but he threw like he threw three picks and like the tight win. I was like, I don't like to see that. Um, he's gotta be smart about that. That that's something you don't want because if he's gonna turn the ball over, you're gonna lose games. Uh, no matter how good. Uh. You know the defense might be playing

as of late, so yeah, I mean their schedule upcoming. Um, you know, Arizona is gonna be tougher than people realize. I think, Uh, I don't love the idea of having a mobile quarterback running around with the defense like the it's not a lockdown defense and James Betcher revenge game exactly. Yeah. And then Detroit, I think Troy's actually pretty solid. And then you have the Cowboys again, you know, this time with Danie Jones they had they played in the first

time with with with Eli. And then you have you know, the Jets, but Donald back who knows about that game. Like a lot of these are coin flips, like Chicago should beat them, Green Bay should beat them, Philadelphia should beat them. Then you have Miami and h Washington back to back, hopefully those are wins, and then phil welf you can to end the season. So like, you know, it's not gonna look great wins and loss wise, but

right now the Giants are like too. I want to use an analogy that with the Avengers at the end of end game when you have you know, three or four guys fighting fanos, and that's like what the Giants team is right now, right and now, when Ingram was back and sake On comes back and Cheval comes back and get some guys on defense back and even Gallman to to to spell Sa Kuan when needed, that's like when the circle rings start coming and the guy starts

stepping out. That's that's when the team's complete. So right now you're we're Giants fans collectively are just like you're

not really seeing the what it's supposed to be. So that's why it's okay, um, but it's still frustrating to lose games in the matter they did like tonight, where you're sloppy and if you don't take dumb penalties like what Golden Data bounds and you don't throw the ball into tight windows and three those of turnovers, don't fumble the ball, the don't block, just block on punts, just block on punts, and then you know, this game could

have been different. That is very frustrating. I'd rather almost just get smoked and lose forty five thing and not even be involved. I don't know. I think that. I think this was a really encouraging performance from the Giants. You saw the defense step up on occasion. They couldn't stop the Patriots in the second half when they were moving the ball. But the fact that Lorenzo Carter got to Brady on occasion, Uh, Marcus Golden, there's a lot to work with their jack rabbit gotta pick, but Brady

kind of threw it to him. Um, you know, the Giants, they're not really playing for the postseason. Schrmer is kind of not he's not really coaching for his job necessarily, so they're kind of in a purgatory right now. And a win tonight Thursday night would have really turned the season around. He's turned the feelings around. Sure, No, it's totally like you know, Golden, Tate wanted more targets and

targets and got more targets. The guy that he's going to be, you know, hopefully a part of the you know, the immediate future on this I don't know like that. It's not like Jones had another option. No, no. And by the way, Taide was the he's the first player, uh, a little fantasy nugget here, the first player in Fantasy to score fifteen or more points. First new ends defense this year. So Golden Date, you should be very happy when your performance today. No more crying to the media. Um,

I mean for the Fantasy podcast. Yeah. Uh. And then this is the first time since I think seventeen where Tom Brady's fumbled and through interception, So that's another slight positive. But like exactly what you're saying, they're in this weird purgatory of like you wanted to see guys grow. Marcus Golden bet on himself and took a one year contract, and the guy has been a monster every single game

for the Giants. Uh, he's gonna get a massive contract, hopefully it's with this team, and just stays like that's a piece I'm looking forward to. Uh, because he's fully healthy now. Dextra Lawrence up the middle should be a beast. Lawrenzo Carter young, great player, like should be great. Uh jibbil preppers had I think he was tied or second for tackles tonight, Like he's looked better, so like there are some bright spots. Jon dr Baker hopefully just only

gets better. He made a couple of nice tackles. I know his coverage has been pretty spotty early on, but you know there are pieces in the defensive side. Offensive side, they have a great core, just not healthy right now. So it's just the waiting game. You want to see the full squad there. You want to see what Daniel

Jones could do with his top targets. Um, you know, for us, like a brief second, they are a lot of Giants fans were happy, going, wow, this is gonna happen in Foxborough tonight, like he's gonna shock the world. But you know, the rug was pulled off from underneath and the Patriots did what the Patriots always do, and and then it should and frankly it should have happened

like that, Like they are the better team. They will be playing in late January, probably in February, and um, right now, the Giants saw what it's like to go to the best team's building. Uh, in a primetime game, and uh the second half, like I said before, they just like slowly let them out and then like that's what they do. Like there's nothing else you could really say. Not there was no eighteen and one on Thursday night. Miracle did not happen. There was no David Tyree, no

stick him on the helmet. The Patriots moved to six and oh the Giants two and four. We got football Sunday, Yeah, early football Sunday. Were heroes are going to be in London? London game for was it Bucks Panthers? Uh? And a couple of there's a couple of big matches I'm looking forward to on Sunday as well. Um, it should be another good week. It's it's for me. I guess I can enjoy this Sunday without having to wake up in a world without having to worry about the Giants potentially

ruining your Sunday in a foul mood. No, yeah, by then it's it's days past. I'm fine. I could just sit down and let everyone else worry about I'll just have my fantasy team up and check that. But or you know, put the Reds on on or whatever and just watch the games. Uh, totally enjoying them because I have no no dog in the fight. That's a great feeling. Great failing, We're onto the next one, as are the

Giants and the Patriots. Thanks for listening. This is Jeremy Bergman and Eddie Spaghetti filling in for the heroes.
