Julian Edelman Suffers Serious Injury For Patriots Against Giants

“I know they got a good corner over there”, Beckham said. “They weren’t going to let us run the ball there”. “Not much for me to say about it other than [what] the frustration was: I mean, finish the game!”

It may take a while before the wide receiver returns and the Patriots are certainly hoping that they can use the remaining talent they have on their team to compensate for his loss.

“A bad throw”, said Brady.

Robert Ayers – The presence of Jason Pierre-Paul opposite him is a huge benefit for Ayers. The team is playing at a very high level and has to be considered one of the favorites to not only make Super Bowl L but to win it. Edelman walked to the locker room under his own power but there was a noticeable difference in this Patriot offense without Edelman in the game.

The loss of Edelman is a big one for this Patriots offense. They got the notoriously cool QB to anxiously hop around the pocket, short-arm throws, and fold under the limbs of the rabid Giants pass rush. In the meantime, however, the Patriots will struggle to pick apart defenses the way they have so far this season.

If there was one area that told the tale of this game, it was in the trenches where the Patriots defensive front controlled the action for the most part against the Giants offensive line.

The news will come as a hammer blow to the Patriots, who lost running back Dion Lewis for the season to a knee injury just last week. But he had another would-be pick dropped on the final game-winning drive and lost one of his two strip-sack fumbles on the evening. A 5-yard pass to Odell Beckham Jr. on New York’s final drive was originally called a touchdown, then reversed by video review.

Fifty-six seconds later, Beckham erased the deficit, in electrifying fashion. You’ve got to complete the whole process.

Danny Amendola’s 82-yard punt return to the Giants’ 7 with 6:36 left in the third quarter set up Blount’s 1-yard TD plunge that brought the Pats within 20-17.

Of course, if Beckham simply holds onto the ball – which he should have – no one is using this particular moment in time to hail Belichick’s genius.

The damage, though, was done, and it was bloody.

The receiver’s injury is another addition to the team’s long list of players who are unable to participate in the games due to injuries. “We’ve seen so many of those in practice and in games”. But the Amendola play, while lovely to the point of balletic, was gut-wrenching for Big Blue.

If you’ve followed the National Football League for any length of time, you’re aware that unusual results and insane plays are not uncommon. Your quarterback was supposed to miss the first four games, and now he’s steamrolling toward another Super Bowl appearance.

That’s where the Giants took over and appeared to drive another stake into the hearts of Patriots fans with a late score. But it makes it a little bit more tough to run the ball, and establish a strong ground game.

“Julian is one of our best players”. Too inept, at times, but never scared. Not this time. They had a great opportunity to put a “W” on the board, to stretch their NFC East lead, and couldn’t close the deal. The Dallas Cowboys, America’s Team (allegedly), is in Kardashian dysfunction, all but assured a seat on the couch in January. The Eagles gagged a game they had essentially won against the Dolphins. And the Redskins, while way better than most of us expected, are still 4-5, and still start Kirk Cousins at quarterback. Leaving Big Blue (5-5) in first place, as surreal as that sounds.

It’s been their weakness all season and it got them again on Sunday for the fourth time. Sunday’s win in NY was no different.
