Bryant noted that among these might be skipping part of training camp and skipping Wednesday practices, as "many veterans" do. I guarantee those "many veterans" are playing on teams which are -not- headed to the Superbowl. I said it earlier in the year when folks were complaining about the Pats "running up" the score- a lot of that had to do with Bill wanting them to play 60 minutes of football, not 45 or 50. We saw it last night- the Giants, who played a helluva game for 50 minutes, couldn't do it for 60, and the Pats could. Eli Manning had a great game, but WTF is up with only getting 2 plays off in 90 seconds when there are 3 minutes to play and you're down by a touchdown and a field goal? You just can't play hard for 50 minutes against the Pats and win, and that's the difference.
