New England Patriots ‘sent a message’ in dominant win vs. Giants | Pro Football Talk | NFL on NBC

PLAYING GAMES LIKE THAT. AND IT IT IT REALLY SET THE TONE LAST NIGHT. YOU AND I WITH COACH GARRETT TALKED ABOUT THIS A LITTLE BIT. AFTER WE FINISHED THE FOOTBALL NIGHT IN AMERICA PODCAST ON SUNDAY, CHRIS AND I PULLED THE THREAD A LITTLE BIT YESTERDAY ON THE SHOW. THE IMPACT OF THANKSGIVING THE POTENTIAL DISTRACTION FROM A LIMITED WORKDAY ON A DAY. THAT IS USUALLY WHEN IT COMES TO PREPARING. FOR THE NEXT GAME, YOU THROW THAT ON TOP OF THE NEAR MISS AGAINST THE BENGALS, MY GUESS IS THAT MIKE. VRABEL WAS UP THEIR BUTTS ALL WEEK. THAT WAY THAT HE IS WITH A LITTLE SNIDE. COMMENT LITTLE, YEAH. OKAY, YEAH. ALL RIGHT, YEAH. ENJOY YOUR YEAH. ENJOY YOUR TURKEY. I’M I’M SURE I’M SURE. YOU’LL BE GOBBLE GOBBLING ON MONDAY NIGHT, YOU KNOW, RUNNING AROUND LIKE YOU KNOW YOU’RE YOU’RE ABOUT TO GET YOU KNOW WHATEVER COMMENT HE WOULD MAKE, I COULDN’T COME UP WITH ANYTHING GOOD. SO I ABANDONED SHIP BUT JUST LITTLE SMART ASS COMMENTS, JUST TO KIND OF CHALLENGE THEM TO, TO NOT GET DISTRACTED AND TO PROVE IT ON MONDAY NIGHT, THAT YOU WEREN’T DISTRACTED. GO OUT THERE AND AND, AND YOU KNOW, TAKE CARE OF BUSINESS AND LET’S SEE SOME BIG HITTING JUST IT FELT LIKE IT FELT LIKE SOMEBODY WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT FROM A GLOBAL AND THE GUY THAT NATURALLY WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR IT. IT’S A HEAD COACH. SO I JUST THINK HE PRESSED BUTTONS GOT UNDER PEOPLE’S SKIN AND CHALLENGE THEM TO GO OUT AND HAVE THAT KIND OF GAME. AND NOW THE QUESTION IS THEY GOING TO HAVE IT? AND WHAT WILL HE DO TO GET THEM BACK IN THAT SAME SPACE? BUT THAT’S THE MOST ENCOURAGING THING. IF I, IF I’M WEARING MY PATRIOTS 00 JERSEY TODAY AND I’M, AND I’M ROOTING FOR THE PATRIOTS. THAT’S THE MOST ENCOURAGING THING. WE’RE GETTING CLOSER TO THE END OF THE RACE AND THEY’RE RUNNING HARDER. AND IT IT WAS NOTICEABLE LAST NIGHT AND AND I THINK THAT’S HUGE. AND I AGREE WITH WHAT YOU SAID AND AND I THINK IT WAS ACROSS THE BOARD, IT WAS PLAYERS AND COACHES LIKE EVERYTHING WAS SPOT ON WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE PATRIOTS LAST NIGHT, I SAID IT BEFORE THE MARCUS JONES PUNT RETURN FOR A TOUCHDOWN, RIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE. REALLY WHAT YOU WANT TO DO, IDEALLY, BUT MARCUS JONES FIRST TIME GETTING TOUCH WAS BY THE PUNTER. HE RUNS THROUGH THAT TACKLE FOR A TOUCHDOWN, THEN WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE PATRIOTS, OFFENSIVE GAME PLAN WILL CAMPBELL STARTING LEFT, TACKLE ROOKIE ON IR JARED, WILSON STARTING LEFT GUARD. ANOTHER ROOKIE. HE WAS OUT THEN, UH, BRADBERRY JUST STARTING CENTER. IT WAS QUESTIONABLE. IF HE WAS GOING TO BE ABLE TO PLAY WITH AN ILLNESS, HE ENDS UP PLAYING, BUT HE’S SICK. AND THE THING THAT I KEPT LOOKING AT WAS BRIAN BURNS. I WAS LIKE, MAN, THIS GUY MIGHT HAVE A BIG DAY TODAY. THE PATRIOTS CAME OUT WITH A GAME PLAN. WE’RE ALMOST EVERY PLAY. THERE WAS EVEN A RUNNING BACK OR A TIGHT END TO HIS SIDE, CHIPPING HIM, AND THEN YOU CAN SEE THE EXCITEMENT. THERE WERE A COUPLE PLAYS IN THE GAME WHERE HE COMES OUT AND THERE’S NO 1 AROUND HIM. IT’S JUST HIM AND IT’S EITHER MORGAN MOSES OR ITS VERION LOW AND THE PLAY STARTS. AND AS SOON AS THE SNAP HAPPENS, THEY DIVE AT HIS LEGS. THEY CUT HIM AND THE PATRIOTS. JUST THROW A QUICK PASS, EVERYTHING ELSE WAS RUN PLAYS AND YOU COULD SEE BURNS THROUGHOUT THE GAME. NOT RUSHING AS MUCH SLOWING DOWN BECAUSE THEY FRUSTRATED HIM, THEY TOOK HIM OUT OF THE GAME AND THEN ON THE OTHER SIDE DEFENSIVELY. YEAH. THEY PLAYED WELL, ALL GAME RIGHT AT THE 2-MINUTE. MARK, THE GAME’S GOING TO END, THEY’RE UP 331.15, THE 2-MINUTE MARK HITS AND THE PATRIOTS. GO TO THE SIDELINE, AND IT’S THIRD DOWN THE NEXT 2 PLAYS ON THIRD AND FOURTH DOWN. THEY GO ALL OUT JAXSON DART TO END THE GAME, AND I THOUGHT THAT WAS A MESSAGE. EXACTLY WHAT YOU JUST SAID. THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH JUST BEATING THE GIANTS AND JUST WINNING THIS GAME. THIS IS THE PUSH AND THE KIND OF SENSE OF URGENCY THE WAY WE WANT TO PLAY THROUGHOUT THIS WHOLE REGULAR SEASON AND INTO THE PLAYOFFS. I THOUGHT THAT WAS THE MESSAGE OF RAYEL WAS LAST WEEK WASN’T GOOD ENOUGH. LIKE IF WE WANT TO DO THE THINGS THAT WE THINK WE CAN DO THIS YEAR. WE HAVE TO PERFORM TO A CERTAIN STANDARD EVERY TIME WE HIT THE FIELD FROM THIS POINT OUT AND IT WAS AGAIN, IT WAS AN IMPRESSIVE GAME SPECIALLY. COMING OFF OF SEEING SOME UPSETS SEEING SOME TEAMS, MAYBE NOT PLAY THEIR BEST BALL TO PATRIOTS, DEFINITELY SENT A MESSAGE TO THE REST OF THE AFC AND TO THE NFL LAST NIGHT. WHEN THERE’S REALLY NO TEAM. HAD THE RAMS LOSE ON SUNDAY. THEY WERE THE TEAM THAT WAS OUT. THERE ISN’T A TEAM THAT WE LOOK AT AND SAY TEAM OF DESTINY. YOU KNOW IT JUST FEELS LIKE THIS IS THEIR YEAR. IT’S GOING TO BE A SURPRISE IF THEY DON’T WIN AT ALL. THERE’S NO 1 LIKE THAT. AND HOW DO YOU DISTINGUISH YOURSELF? WE’LL SEE WHETHER AGAIN, THEY’RE GOING TO HAVE TO START THE LAWN, MOWER UP AGAIN AFTER THE BYE WEEK, BUT WHATEVER WE’RE ABLE DID. WHATEVER HE SAID, HOWEVER, HE NEEDLED THEM BECAUSE THEY CAME OUT WITH A SENSE OF URGENCY AND A SENSE OF AND, YOU KNOW, PUSH FOR HEALTH AND SAFETY, WHICH WAS NEEDED. MAKES EVERYONE PAUSE BEFORE WHAT? LEGAL. SAW VIOLENCE LAST NIGHT. OF THE RULES VIOLENCE AND IT IS STILL A PHYSICAL GAME. IT IS STILL ABOUT IMPOSING YOUR WILL ON ANOTHER PERSON BOTH TO WIN THIS MOMENT AND TO INTIMIDATE IN FUTURE MOMENTS THAT’S WHAT IT COMES DOWN TO. IT IS HIS BASIC AS IT GETS. WE’VE KIND OF BEEN NUDGED AWAY FROM THAT BECAUSE IT’S UNSEEMLY TO TALK ABOUT IT BECAUSE THAT’S HOW INJURIES HAPPEN. IT DOESN’T CHANGE THE FACT THAT THAT’S WHAT THE GAME IS AND LAST NIGHT. FOR ME WAS A CLEAR, REMINDER. THAT IT IS ABOUT PHYSICALITY. IT IS ABOUT VIOLENCE. IT IS ABOUT IMPOSING WILL. AND IF 1 TEAM SHOWS UP HELL BENT ON DOING IT MORE THAN THE OTHER IS, WE’RE GOING TO SEE WHAT WE SAW LAST NIGHT, DEVIN. YEAH, AND I I I THINK YOU SAID IT’S A REMINDER FOOTBALL IS A VIOLENT GAME, LIKE WHEN YOU GO OUT THERE, YOU’RE OUT THERE TO, MAYBE NOT HURT SOMEBODY, BUT YOU’RE TRYING TO HARM THEM. YOU’RE TRYING TO SEND A MESSAGE, YOU’RE TRYING TO HIT THEM, YOU’RE TRYING TO CONTINUE TO HIT THEM ALL GAME AND ANYBODY WHO’S EVER PLAYED FOOTBALL? I DON’T CARE IF YOU PLAYED AT THE YOUTH LEVEL, HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL COLLEGE, PROFESSIONAL. YOU’VE HAD A COACH THAT SAYS, WE NEED TO HIT THEM EARLY AND HIT THEM OFTEN AND

  5. The Pat's streak of scoring 23+ and giving up 23- is now 11 games, the longest in NFL history. The previous teams that got to 8 straight won the chip. Houston has given up fewer points in total, but this streak says something.

  7. It is amazing how they go right to the edge of saying what the real object of football is, how they dance around it without quite saying it, that the players are trying to injure the players on the other team, they just pretty much said that. I know people don't want to come to terms with that but it's true. I know because when I played all the coaches were talking about . not explicitly but you could get the message, try to hurt the other players on the other team

  10. They sure didn't look like a team limping into the bye. The Patriots aren't the best team in the NFL, but they are the most consistent, and in a year with no great teams, that could be enough.
