Gronk, Hernandez Branch or Welker. y'all can't cover all of them. Benny Green-Ellis will also run it down the giants gizzard most of the day.

I'll give you 1 horrendous blunder, but Williams (and the special teams) deserves some credit for stripping the ball in OT. But what about the Pats? Lee Evans gets lazy in the endzone and lets the ball gets stripped from his hands. Cundiff misses a chip shot to go to OT. Let's face it although they have won like 10 in a row, they are a far cry from the 2007 Pats.

Alex Smith did turn back into Alex Smith, but what about the Niners defense? They played a tremendous second half. Despite what happened against the Saints, they are not a high powered/high scoring offensive team. Plus the Giants defense deserves some credit as well.

Is Gronk (and his bad ankle), Hernandez, Branch or Welker better than Jennings, Finley, Driver, Cobb and Jones? Maybe, maybe not, but the Giants did a pretty good job on them if you ask me (on the road). The Ellis comment doesn't even need to be addressed, because it's laughable.

My question to you is, which reciever is Edelman going to cover?

I have to admit that I like the Giants chances. They beat the Pats in Foxboro already, in a game where they played without Bradshaw and Nicks. Also the defense was not playing at the level they are playing now. They beat arguably the best offensive and defensive teams on the road the last two weeks. I'm not saying it's a lock, but I like their chances a lot.
