Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman having surgery for broken foot

Patriots coach Bill Belichick declined to comment on the severity of Edelman’s injury, but media reports said Edelman had a broken bone in his foot. Sunday’s game between the Patriots and Giants was one of those cases. That means when a defense sells out to stop the run and gives you man coverage on Odell Beckham, you throw to Odell Beckham. He has 61 catches for 692 yards and caught seven touchdowns through the first nine games of the season. The Cardinals showed their resiliency marching down the field with an 8-play, 80-yard fourth quarter drive that culminated in the game-winning score, a Jermaine Gresham touchdown catch from Palmer with 1:58 remaining.

“That” kick is a do-or-die field goal, with the clock striking 00:00, and you make the kick you win, you miss the kick you lose. Passing the ball is more hard crammed in to a small, confined space, with bodies everywhere and the threat of a tipped ball turning into an interception. It is another heartbreaking loss for the Giants, who played well enough to get the victory, but came up just short.

NY had to settle for a Josh Brown field goal which put them ahead with 1:47 remaining, but there was still time for Brady to drive the Patriots 44 yards to set up Gostkowski’s victor.

OL depth stretched: First starting tackle Nate Solder went down with a season ending injury. They could bring in extra tight ends, pack the line, hand the ball to LeGarrette Blount and be a power running team.

“If you don’t win, they’re all miserable”, Coughlin said. He allowed Malcolm Butler to knock the ball out of his hands after thinking it was a TD because he had two feet down.

Either way, with less reliable options behind Lafell and Amendola – such as Aaron Dobson and Keshawn Martin – expect them to each have the opportunity for double-digit receptions in most games, where Amendola has the edge in PPR leagues, and Lafell has the it in standard ones (due to advantage in the red zone compared to Amendola’s). Gostkowski, a fourth-round draft pick in 2006, has also scored at least one point in 132 games, a franchise record.

Tom Coughlin absolved Odell Beckham Jr. of costing the Giants Sunday’s game against the Patriots. Not a big fan of that one.

Quarterback Tom Brady completed a pass on a fourth-and-ten play during the final drive which got the ball just within Gostkowski’s range for a dramatic victor. He suffered the injury in Week 4 of the 2009 season and played through it, and the topic came up when he spoke with Peyton last week. This is in his second week back, after playing three times the snaps many anticipated against Tampa Bay. Victor Cruz made that announcement on a video he made.

Jason Pierre-Paul pressures Tom Brady. The most important defensive play of the game by New England may have been a strip sack in the second quarter by linebacker Chandler Jones, with cornerback Justin Coleman recovering the fumble. “Hopefully he is right back out on the field”. Orleans Darkwa got 14 (19 percent) snaps, and one week after leading the Giants in yards per carry, Andre Williams only got two offensive snaps.

The Giants don’t finish.

But he did consent to the fact that if he’d simply held onto the ball, the game likely would have turned out differently and everyone would be spared the rigmarole of what defines a catch wouldn’t be necessary. What was the point?
