Aika hieno homma mun favoritet vastakkain.
Keräsin NFL:n sivuilta vähän puuta heinää eli mitä Patsin puolustus teki runkosarjan pelisssä hyvin ja sitte on muutaman expertin lausumia mitä Giantsin pitää tehdä voittaakseen.
Siinä vikassa runkosarjapelissä nähtiin hyökkäysten juhlaa, puolustukset ei oikein onnistunu. Nyt jää nähtäväksi kumpi pystyy paremmin säätämään omaansa eli riisumaan vastustajansa aseista tai ainakin ratkaisevasti hidastamaan. Kattoisin sen pelin uusiks mutt tana sentään, kellä se nauha nyt oikein on, palauta HETI!!! ;)
(tiedoksi vaan)
We all know that Tom Brady is the guy that drives the Patriots' bus, but the defense has to live up to its end of the bargain if another NFL championship is to become a reality.
I took a long, hard look at the Patriots' defensive game plan against the Giants in Week 17, and it did reveal a number of things good and bad. I'm sure Bill Belichick has already addressed the issues that led to the Giants putting 35 points on the board, and he's probably comfortable with the things that worked well and will use them again. Here's a look at the New England defense from Week 17 against the New York Giants:
Things that worked very well 1. Turn the Giants running back inside: As retiring Buffalo offensive line coach Jim McNally said to me earlier this week, "The Patriots' outside linebackers want to turn the running game back inside to Vince Wilfork." I watched every running play from the end zone copy of the coaches' tape from the Week 17 matchup, and most of the time Mike Vrabel and Adalius Thomas meet the blocker with their inside pad and get the ball carrier to go back inside.
When you combine the number of times Giants RB Brandon Jacobs had to go back inside with the times New York ran at Wilfork, the results are clearly in the Patriots' favor. I recorded eight runs in that situation, and the average gain was fewer than 2 yards a carry. The Giants had success when they could stay outside by getting the outside linebackers either hooked or moved out of the "C" gap. On those eight runs the Giants averaged 6 yards a carry.
2. Slant the front more: The Patriots are known as a 3-4 two-gap front, and most football fans think of three big defensive linemen holding up the blockers so the linebackers can make a play. I was very impressed with Wilfork's ability to slant and move with great quickness. Ty Warren and Richard Seymour are equally talented when Belichick wants to slant the front. I would expect more slant calls in this game, especially now that Belichick has played the Giants and has first-hand experience against this offense.
3. Pass pressure schemes the first time around may change: When you count the scrambles by Eli Manning and the fumbled snap on a play that was going to be a pass, the Giants called 35 passes in Week 17. I was surprised at the distribution of pressure called by New England in the game. When a defense plays Tom Brady and a high-scoring offense, it isn't going to take too many risks and give up an easy score. However, there will be some adjustments to the pressure calls this time around.
For example, the Patriots called five three-man rush calls in the first 15 pass plays in week 17, sending just the three defensive linemen after Manning as eight men played in coverage. A conservative plan, to say the least, but the results should put the three-man rush on the shelf in the Super Bowl. New York threw two touchdown passes, a bootleg for another 10-yard gain, and Manning scrambled 11 yards to set up another score. The four-man pressure scheme wasn't much better in the first half.
In the first half of that game, the Patriots ran the following pressures:
» Three-man rush: Five times (Manning: 3-of-4 for 20 yards, two TDs)» Four-man rush: Seven times (Manning: 6-of-7 for 133 yards)» Five-man rush: Three times (Manning: 1-of-3 for 13 yards)
If you notice, there were no six-man pressure calls in the first half and very few five-man calls. In the second half, the decision was made to turn the heat up. There were no three-man rush calls after halftime. There were eight four-man pressures, five five-man pressures and, most importantly, Belichick called seven six-man pressures.
The six-man rush package produced the only sack of the game for New England and the Giants completed 2 of 5 passes for 4 yards -- and a touchdown when the defensive back fell down. Belichick will bring more pressure early in this game.
Brady always says that after a film session with Belichick, you feel like you didn't do anything right. I promise you, the day after the Giants game in week 17 the players felt like they had a lot to improve upon. Look for New England to modify the game plan off of what they learned.
Ryan: Mix it up
The first person I spoke to was Baltimore Ravens assistant head coach/defensive coordinator Rex Ryan, who has the unique perspective of having come as close as anyone this season to defeating New England. His key to beating the Patriots was simple:
"Don't call timeout," he deadpanned -- alluding to the unfortunate timeout he called late in the fourth quarter of the New England-Baltimore game, just before his defense stopped Tom Brady on a fourth-down sneak. After a penalty on the next play, the Patriots eventually converted and went on to score the game-winning touchdown that kept their perfect season alive.
Kidding aside, Ryan said that to beat New England, the Giants have to mix it up on defense: Pressure on some downs, but drop into coverage on others. They need to disguise their formation, he said -- wait as long as they can so that Brady and the offense can't adjust. "Make them try to figure out what you're doing."
He also suggested the Giants "stem" their defensive front to confuse the Patriots' blocking patterns.
But all that said, Ryan was also quick to add that Brady is the best quarterback he has ever faced as a coach in the NFL.
Reeves: Kill the clock
Dan Reeves won 201 games in a 23-year NFL head coaching career, so he's certainly qualified to offer some advice to the Giants, whom he coached from 1993-96. "Pressure Brady and force him to release the ball early," he said. The Giants can't afford to give him any time, he said, because he has outstanding accuracy and can get rid of the ball so quickly. No matter what the defense does, Reeves stressed taking as much time off the clock as they possibly can -- not just by running the football and making first downs, but also by running down the play clock and snapping the ball with two seconds left instead of eight.
The other advice he had for the defense was to watch out for Brady's hard count -- not only can they be drawn offsides, but they can show their hand on defense and allow Brady to change the play. He said the Giants also have to be ready to make defensive substitutions quickly. Since the New England offense is so versatile, they have the ability to line up and snap the ball on a third-and-long situation before the Giants might be able with 12 men on the field if they're not careful.
Irvin: QBs the key
Pro Football Hall of Famer Michael Irvin, who has three Super Bowl rings from his career with the Cowboys, placed the focus firmly on the quarterbacks. As far as the Giants' chances of pulling off the upset Sunday, he thought their best hope was that Brady's ankle is not 100 percent, and that the injury leads the two-time Super Bowl MVP to make some bad throws. As for the Patriots' most dangerous receiving threat, Irvin suggested the Giants mix up their coverage on Randy Moss, definitely double-team him and do whatever they can to frustrate him. Most importantly, do not let New England get off to a fast start.
When it comes to the Giants on offense, Irvin said that Eli Manning needs to be sharp, convert on third downs and avoid making high throws. Irvin recalled his first trip to the Super Bowl, which also was Troy Aikman's first Super Bowl. Even a Hall of Fame quarterback like Aikman was really tense on such a grand stage. Irvin recalled being wide open on Aikman's first attempt of Super Bowl XXVII against the Bills, but the pass sailed about 20 feet over his head. (Aikman calmed down after that, of course, and threw four TD passes en route to being named the game's MVP.)
Tucker: Tight coverage
Mel Tucker joined the Cleveland Browns in 2005 and was their secondary coach until just recently being promoted to defensive coordinator. Remember the name -- like Baltimore's Rex Ryan, Tucker will someday be a head coach in the NFL.
Tucker's Browns faced the Patriots this year, so he has a good idea what the Giants will be up against. His feeling was that the Giants have to play tight coverage and make it hard for the New England receivers to get into their routes. Also, they need to prevent them from adding yards after the catch, something the Patriots have been very good at.
And of course, he added they need to sack Brady and force the Patriots into long yardage situations.
All four of these "Super analysts" said they wouldn't be shocked if the Giants pulled off the upset, but they all concluded they thought New England would win.
Giantsilla on Burress ollut aivan liekeissä, vaikka jätkä on ollut rampa koko kauden. Toomer on säestänyt kohtuudella ja kun heillä on se POWER Jacobs ja nopea Bradshow niin play actionilla saa kyllä pahaa jälkeä helposti. Eiköhän Belichek sen verran oppinut että kuten yllä sanottiin pienellä paineella Manning korjaa potin eli nyt on osattava säätää paineen annon määrä tasan tarkkaan oikein. Jos Mannigille antaa aikaa niin hän on ollut loistava. Uskoisin nimenomaan Bradshawn olevan se tappava ase, jolla Pats ehkä upotetaan, ottaen huomioon Patsien tukimiesten ikä ja nopeus ;))
Toisaalta Giantsilla on aivan sama ongelma painetta on saatava riittäästi muuten Brady tekee helposti pisteitä taululle eli nähtäväksi jää kuinka paljon Giantsin linja saa alussa painetta ilman isompia blizejä, jolloin peittoihin jää enemmän porukkaa. Mutta blizejäkin on otettava sopivana sekoituksena eri pelipaikoilta.
Vaikka Umenyiora ja Strahan lähes parhaita pelipaikoillaan ovatkin uskon Patsien linjan kestävän Lightin ja Kaczurin johdolla. Tässä se suurin peliin vaikuttava matchup minusta onkin.
Voittajaksi veikkaan PATRIOTS ;)

Brain says otherwise.
PHOENIX -- The New England Patriots are on the steps of the ultimate accomplishment in a team sport. But no matter what the outcome of Super Bowl XLII, the winner will be NFL fans who love the game and the drama it can present.
Do the Patriots go 19-0 and claim the right to be called the greatest team ever? Or do the Giants end the Patriots' quest for perfection with an upset that would rival the New York Jets' win over Baltimore in 1969?
The best decision Tom Coughlin made this year was to play the Week 17 matchup with the Patriots with his starters in for the entire game. Granted, his team lost 38-35, but it set the stage for this Super Bowl. Not only did the game create momentum for the Giants heading into the playoffs, but it was money in the bank for their Super Bowl preparation.
The Giants believe they can win this game. I have talked with enough players to believe there is a quiet confidence brewing among the New York players, who like their chances. Members of the Baltimore Ravens and Philadelphia Eagles -- teams that came close to beating New England this season -- like the Giants' chances, too.
On the other hand, the Patriots look impossible to stop. They make most opponents feel like they have to play a perfect game to win. New England has a way of making opponents feel like they've failed if they have a 10-play drive that results in a field goal instead of a touchdown, and it emphasizes how much pressure there is on opposing teams to score on every possession. The three interceptions thrown by Tom Brady in the AFC title game against the Chargers actually made the Patriots look human.
So which team comes into the game with more pressure on their shoulders?
No team that I can recall has handled the mounting pressure of a perfect season better than the Patriots. They act like they're on a business trip and they're ready to close the deal. New England has so many ways to beat a team, and the weather conditions in Phoenix are perfect for a high-powered offense. The Patriots have cooled off a bit in recent weeks, but they sure look ready for the final challenge.
The Giants, on the other hand, remind me of the Patriots team that entered Super Bowl XXXVI against St. Louis as huge underdogs with nothing to lose, a New England team that shocked the Rams, 20-17.
Here's a scouting report on the two teams and their matchup in Super Bowl XLII:
RG Stephen Neal and RT Nick Kaczur were injured and did not play for the Patriots.
» RB Ahmad Bradshaw and CB Kevin Dockery were injured and did not play for the Giants.
» The Giants scored more points (35) on the Patriots than any other team in 2007.
» The Giants led the Patriots for 42 minutes and 56 seconds, the longest of any team in 2007.
» The Patriots scored 22 consecutive points to go from 12 down to up by 10 in the fourth quarter.
» Eli Manning threw four touchdown passes, the most by any QB opposing the Patriots this season.
» New England averaged just 1.7 yards on 26 rushing attempts.
» The Giants had a 74-yard kickoff return for a touchdown.
Key matchups
1. Patriots WR Wes Welker vs. Giants CB Aaron Ross: Ross is a rookie with a shoulder injury, and he's up against a guy with 112 regular-season receptions and 16 more in two post-season games. Welker has option-route principles and will react to the Ross alignment and coverage with a route away from the Giants corner. Ross told me he will play his techniques and not try to make an unsound play. Welker had 11 receptions against the Giants in Week 17 but didn't score a touchdown. The Giants need to help Ross in certain situations. Maybe even one of defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo's zone dogs -- when end Michael Strahan drops into coverage -- could get Brady to throw a bad pass.
2. Patriots RT Nick Kaczur vs. Giants DE Michael Strahan: Kaczur, who didn't play in the first game between these teams, is up against a future Hall of Famer who might be playing in his final NFL game. The Giants averaged 10 plays a game this season that affected the opposing quarterback (sacks, hits and hurries). Kaczur will have his hands full and might occasionally need some help.
3. Patriots RBs Laurence Maroney and Kevin Faulk vs. Giants LB Antonio Pierce: Pierce has two different problems based on which running back is on the field. Maroney is going to get 20-25 rushing attempts, and he is very explosive in the open field. Pierce did a fine job against the Patriots in Week 17, and stopping the run is his strength. Faulk is very tough to handle out of the backfield, and the Patriots will try to work Faulk against Pierce. Faulk, who had eight receptions in the first Giants game, is almost impossible to cover on third downs with 4-6 yards to go.
4. Patriots CB Ellis Hobbs vs. Giants WR Plaxico Burress: Hobbs will be the corner the Giants want to go after. Pay close attention when the Giants put rookie TE Kevin Boss on the left side with Burress and two backs in the backfield. Rodney Harrison will line up on that side with Hobbs and drop down in the box to support the run, especially on first downs when the play-action pass leaves Hobbs by himself on Burress. Burress should win the battle, but the Giants have to set it up just right. Colts coach Tony Dungy told me he expects the Patriots to roll coverage to Burress when he lines up opposite Hobbs, allowing Asante Samuel to handle Amani Toomer one-on-one.
5. Patriots SS Rodney Harrison vs. Giants TE Kevin Boss: Harrison can get caught in Cover 2 off at 16 yards and Eli Manning will drop a quick seam to Boss in front of the Patriots safety. Look for Harrison to blow up Boss and try to intimidate the rookie. When Harrison is close to the line of scrimmage, Boss might try to go by him. The tight end has gained a lot of confidence in the past few weeks since replacing the injured Jeremy Shockey, and Manning will not be afraid to work this matchup.
When the Patriots have the ball
What's happened to WR Randy Moss? His last touchdown was the record-breaking score against the Giants in Week 17. In that game, Moss grabbed six passes for 100 yards and two touchdowns. Since then, he has just two receptions for 32 yards and no touchdowns, but his team keeps on winning. Is it possible Moss is as dangerous as a decoy as he is catching the ball? The margin of victory in the first Giants-Patriots game was three points, so Moss' 12 points were a big factor. Spagnuolo will consider what the Chargers and Jaguars did when they doubled Moss and at least reduced the Patriots' scoring.
New England has so many weapons on offense with its receivers and a re-energized running game that it becomes imperative for the Giants to get to Brady. The Giants got eight hits, one sack and about three hurries the last time. Obviously, that wasn't enough as Brady still figured how to put 38 points on the board. Look for New York to attack the launch point right behind the center in an attempt to flush Brady out of the pocket.
When the Patriots have the ball
The Giants are on an offensive roll in their last four games. The close loss to the Patriots in the regular-season finale and the three road playoff wins have galvanized this offense. I spoke with longtime NFL offensive line coach Jim McNally, whose Buffalo Bills played the Patriots defense many times, about a plan for the Giants. He started the discussion by pointing out that the Patriots' outside linebackers, Mike Vrabel and Adalius Thomas, really want to turn the Giants' running game back inside to NT Vince Wilfork. New York has to find a way to secure the edge when it wants to run Brandon Jacobs and let him bounce outside away from Harrison.
Look for 260-pound fullback Madison Hedgecock to try to secure the edge and let Jacobs run against the cornerbacks. Jacobs, who ran over Green Bay cornerback Charles Woodson last week, needs to get a few shots on Samuel and Hobbs.
If New York can work the ball down the field and into the red zone primarily with the running game, then the pass opportunities open up for Manning, who threw four red-zone touchdown passes against the Patriots in Week 17. Burress is a matchup problem for New England down inside the 20-yard line. Giants offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride might also want to throw the ball at times because the Patriots' pressure package hasn't been great in recent weeks.
The 3-4 defense is predicated on the outside linebackers creating lots of pass-rush pressure. Take a look these numbers in recent weeks (see chart) against the Giants, Jaguars and Chargers from Vrabel, Thomas and the rest of the Patriots defense. Keep in mind that Manning, David Garrard and Philip Rivers combined for 102 pass attempts in this breakdown. The Patriots generated three sacks (one every 34 pass attempts) and 14 QB hits (one every seven pass attempts). The sacks need to be better but the QB hits means that Manning will get rushed in his decision-making. Ty Warren doesn't get enough credit for the problems he creates, and he will challenge Kareem McKenzie and Chris Snee depending upon the call.
The bottom line
The more I study the coaches tapes, the more I see ways the Giants could win this game. They can get to Brady enough to keep him out of his comfort zone. The Giants' pass rush will not worry about containing Brady, and it is fast enough to chase him down if he is flushed out of the pocket. The Patriots point totals have dropped off in the two playoff games as teams overplayed Moss. Look for the Giants to use some of the things the Jaguars and Chargers used to get the Patriots' point production closer to 28-30 rather than 36-40.
The Patriots' other weapons will come to life if Moss is overplayed. While Moss only had two receptions for 32 yards in the playoffs, Maroney touched the ball 50 times for 295 yards and two touchdowns. Welker, Watson and Donte Stallworth combined for 24 receptions, 209 yards and four touchdowns.
In their last three games, the Patriots have scored points on 15 of 31 drives, and they have only punted seven times. Brady has thrown four interceptions in the past three games but the opposing teams have only generated six points (two field goals) off those turnovers. The Patriots defense rises up when adversity strikes, and it might have to do it again.
My heart wants to take the underdog in this game, but my football brain says the Patriots will get the job done. It should be a great back-and-forth game with lots of scoring, and it will be well into the second half before the Patriots gain control of the outcome.- # JVM
Unohtu muuten sanoa että Finaali on aina Finaali ja siellä ratkaisee taidon ja voiman lisäksi menttaalipuolen jutut melko ratkaisevasti.
Niitä faktoreita onkin paljon vaikeampi ottaa huomioon ennakko veikkailuissa.
MIKÄÄN EI VOI PAHEMMIN PETTÄÄ, KERRASTA POIKKI.
TEAM SPIRIT näyttäisi olevan molemmilla kohdillaan, kyllä 19-0 kertoo jotain kuten se miten pelaajat tsemasivat toisiaan Giants sivurajalla kun näyttivät high lightteja pleijareista.
Belichekin meriitit kertovat puolestaan mutta täytyy sanoa että Tom Coughlin on tehnyt hyvää duunia. Äijä astu alas lasipalatsistaan vähän lähemmäks pelaajia sai joukkueen näyttämään ja pelaamaan joukkuueena, tahdolla ja sydämmellä.
