Welcome fantasy footballers!
Wow. What a weekend! From missed FGs, fumbles, and overtime wins, this weekend was full of drama and mayhem. And as quickly as these games ended, the talks of a rematch began. A rematch that will fuel Brady to take down the Giants, who stopped him from getting his 4th SB victory in as many tries. So as Brady prepares from his match up against a Giants team that might not have Plaxico but has major WR threats in Cruz, Manningham, and Nicks. Last time the two teams played, the Pats were the best team the game has seen in decades. Undefeated, a superstar QB and WR, and a nasty defense. This time around the Pats are with a sub-par defense, Brady, and up-and-coming TEs. Years ago the Pats destroyed teams. This time they scrape by. The Giants will have to heavily pressure the Pats O-Line this time, as they did to Alex Smith, and make Brady rush passes. That’s the key to the game. It will be a battle between the Giants defensive pass rush against the Pats line protecting Brady. Both teams have play makers and both teams have weapons. It will be a game of QB and ball protection. The Pats proved that they can turn the ball over and still be in the game. The Giants proved that they don’t need a bye and rest to make sure all their players are healthy.
Some are calling it a revenge game and some are calling it an epic rematch. But honestly, it’s the Super Bowl. You can’t let the past dicate how things are done this time around. Both teams have different key players on both sides of the ball and both teams cannot simply think about playing the way they did last time. Similar to the game, both teams have evolved. The winner will be the one that made the most stops, not necessarily the one that made the most plays. In other news Tim Tebow might not be playing in this season’s Pro Bowl. Ouch. After a year of ups and downs, and with the national media fanatically in love with the QB, people might be saying its time for some change. Poor Skip Bayless.
