arizona_hawks Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 I think the Giants will allow points against SD than NE against PIT. Giants Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ABC123 Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 I've got the same question. Leaning toward NE to bounce back this week but still don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perchoutofwater Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 I say New England. SD will score more on NYG than PIT will score on NE. SD has more weapons than PIT, and PIT is used to letting their D win games for them. Parker has been impressive, but he hasn't played against a really good defense yet. And if you think that Parker is better than LT, you are nuts. I'll give you Ward over McCardell, by a little, but Gates is much better than Miller. I look at it like this. The Pats D is the better Defense, and the SD offense is the better offense, so why would you want to start a lesser defense against a better offense?

SLGRAF Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 I think the Pats' and Giants' defenses will have very similar production. The Pats are a great team playing a great team in Pittsburgh, and the Giants are a solid team playing a solid team in San Diego. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Giants are a so-so team playing a solid team that is solid because of their great offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am also worried about injuries to the NE Defense. PIT seems to take care of the ball a little more than SD, but on the other hand, I like NE to rebound a bit. To answer your quesiton... I would start a lesser D if the opponent was significantly lesser as well. In this decision, it almost has more to do with the struggling SD offense than it does about the skills of the G-Men D.

pzarvell Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 I see Pitt making less mistakes than SD so I'd probably go with the g-men. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cincy slammers Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 I see NE playing much better this week, think SD will finally put up some points. I'd go with Pats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1stimer Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 I like the Pats to bounce back! Brighton boys 1008419[/snapback] I think there will be few turnovers in the PIT/NE game so IMO I really do not think the difference between their points should be that great. I don't see many turnovers in the SD/NYG game either although their may be an incentive for SD to blitz the snot out of Eli since he snubbed them last year at the draft. Too close to call IMO.

That surprises me.1011286[/snapback] I think they missed the boat on that one. Take away Vrabel's INT return for a TD (which was a horrible play by Delhomme, not a great play by Vrabel) and they have three sacks, one fumble recovery and have given up 20 points two weeks in a row. I think they will perform much better as the season wears on, but not against a team like the Steelers that plays mistake free football. This week I'm benching them in favor of the Bengals. (Who were a Top Five fantasy defense last year as well, at least under my league's scoring system.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
