i didnt even know this thread was still going on.

anyways despite any injury reports or whatever. they said in the beginning of the game that brady's ankle injury wasnt bothering him and it didnt hurt anymore. i guarante his ankle was not the reason they lost.
No, it's not the reason they lost, but there was definitely something distinctly off about Brady. He's proved in the past he doesn't choke this way, and it was incredibly clear that he couldn't throw a long pass accurately to save his life very early in the game. I'd be willing to bet that this was due to the ankle injury; it probably was affecting the way he shifted his weight to heave the long ball. The rest of his game, however, seemed unaffected, so I don't think the injury can be cited as the reason they lost.

The Patriots lost due to poor play-calling and an inability to adapt to a crushing Giants defense.
I've said it once, and I'll say it again. It's not the first time this season the Patriots were outplayed. It's just the first time the other team capitalized on it. In fact, the Pats should of lost a number of games earlier in the season if the other teams didn't blow it themselves.
