NY Giants Full Team Grades vs. New England Patriots

But for a brief moment, Collins (61 tackles, an interception and seven passes defensed this season) thought a game-deciding play had been gift-wrapped to him and the Giants (5-5).

But can the end result be the same? “The play down in the end zone, the play should’ve been made”. They celebrated their effort.

The Giants executed a very aggressive game plan on offense, and the Patriots defense had trouble handling it in the first half.

NY Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham (13) catches a pass for a touchdown in front of New England Patriots’ Malcolm Butler (21) during the first half of an NFL football game Sunday November 15, 2015, in East Rutherford, N.J. Can this have the same impact as eight years ago?

– Bob Glauber, Newsday(Coach Tom) Coughlin’s frustration is understandable, and his bewilderment befits a coach who has won two Super Bowls and believes his job is to win one every year. “Yeah, it sure can”. It was revealed that slot receiver Julian Edelman suffered a broken foot, and could be out for the remainder of the regular season, according to NFL.com.

That’s where the Giants took over and appeared to drive another stake into the hearts of Patriots fans with a late score.

“I’ve never seen anything like that before”, Jaguars linebacker Paul Posluszny said. This one, we’re still trying to make a playoff run.

“Just looking at it, it’s kind of the way the rule is making the football move, especially in the end zone”, Manning said, “You’ve got to have it the whole time, and so I wasn’t surprised after seeing the replay”.

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.

It will be up to Manning to teach his teammates the lessons of 2007 and not allow all the close losses to ruin their season. “It would be worse if you were getting blown out. That’s the way we’re going forward”.

The Giants on the other hand will head into their bye with a bit of a sour taste in their mouth because of the loss, but with a few positives to take away from the game. “We’ve seen so many of those in practice and in games”.

Manning threw an apparent 5-yard touchdown pass to Beckham.

Here are the three star players for the New England Patriots in their 27-26 victory over the NY Giants.

There are many players who stepped up in a big way for the Patriots in this one, and I could name many stars who were incredibly important to this performance. The Patriots knew his range at MetLife Stadium, where there was virtually no wind, would be from beyond 50 yards.

While the Patriots find a way to step up and get the job done, the Giants all too often find a way to lose a game they could – and sometimes should – win.

Two weeks later, the Giants beat the favored Bills, thanks to a missed field goal in the waning seconds.

Where do they go from here? It’s the same play the Giants ran in that season-opening loss to Dallas, when Manning threw the ball away instead of taking a sack and running out the clock. Dallas is 2-7 and was 0-7 without Romo, who returns Sunday in Miami.

“You’re not going to run the ball into six defensive linemen, ” Coughlin said.
