I don't exactly buy into Tom Brady being hurt stuff - however, he will NOT be able to nickle and dime the Giants and take advantage of all the tremendous mis-matches on every down that Moss and Stallworth create on the outside.

The Giants have a D-line that can generate an excellent pass rush - and they will come up and press and take a lot of chances in the secondary.

This is really the wrong defense for Brady to be hurt against.

Brady threw atleast one deep ball to Moss in every single regular season game (including many times into double and even twice in triple coverage) - so far in the playoffs he's not thrown him a single deep ball...in fact, he's not even once made the body language to suggest he's wanted to throw deep to him.

In the regular season, he'd lock in on Moss deep, but dump the ball off quick if he didn't have time to step into the throw.

I think Brady's lack of interest for the deep ball in the two playoff games had nothing to do with any injury. In the Jags game, all the short stuff was open. In the Chargers game, he'd have to throw it with winds of 25 MPH.

I expect the outside recievers - ESPECIALLY Moss! - to have gigantic games.

Because of the way Brady has been dedicated to all the rinky dink stuff in the playoffs - and because of him walking with the protective boot - I doubt the Giants try to be tricky and get away from the kind of D they like to play.

I think the Patriots win by 17 - and guys like Kevin Faulk and Ben Watson ain't gonna be the go to guys in this one.
