Patriots vs. Giants: Fan Notes from the Preseason

The best part of last night’s game? The preseason is officially over!

It’s easy to forget exactly what Week 4 of the preseason is. Week 3 always has a lot of hype, and immediately following the annual Pats/Giants game is the official start of the season, so this game always gets buried. And it always catches a lot of flak for being the Backup Bowl. But for a lot of these kids, this week will be the last time they ever live their dream of playing professional football, so there’s something special there as well.

Doesn’t stop the game from being an absolute snoozer, though.
