This from the Patriots media staff:
IF THE PATRIOTS WIN TODAY, THEY WOULD…

Final thoughts as the third quarter kickoff approaches:
What are you thinking in the locker-room right now if you’re a player on either team?
If I’m a Giant, I say we played a perfect defensive half and we’re two costly turnovers from the lead. But I’m also questioning things. How long can we stop the Patriots? Is my quarterback, Eli Manning, ever going to wake the heck up and make a play for me? And what … continued »

Randy Moss has been open on at least three different plays deep and Tom Brady hasn’t even looked his way.

Troy Brown was among seven Patriots on the inactive list.
The 15-year receiver, who has probably played his final game (vs. Jacksonville in AFC Divisional), is expected to hang up his cleats.
The fact that he’s inactive is no surprise.
He played in only one game against the Dolphins, the Patriots 15th win of the season. He was active for another but never played.
We will have more on that after the game.

Here are the other Patriots inactives:
