Yay Pats :]
I've seen about 15 hours of American Football in my life, but it looks to me the Pats defense is off their game? I dunno.
Not really. The Pats' defense actually played quite well to hold the Giants to 9 pts in the first half. They aren't a great unit, other than a couple standout stars, so holding an opponent to 9 points, especially one as deep and talented as the Giants, is a big feat.
My hat goes off to the Pats' O-Line so far, though. One cannot possibly overstate the importance of giving Brady time to work -- especially when one of the major storylines last time around was that the Giants' front four really got to Brady.
