he NFL has officially filed its appeal in the ongoing Deflategate saga and is sticking to the argument it clung to throughout the meandering legal process: Commissioner Roger Goodell was acting within his power when he suspended Patriots quarterback Tom Brady for four games.

while I love the optimism ... you are out of your mind if you think they can get past the Packers. Back 2007 - 2008 and again in 2011-2012 ... we had stud pass rushers ... this year the opposing QB is eating a sandwich back there
I think they need to shut him down for the season. Even if he returns, which is highly unlikely, is he really going to be more effective than Randle or Harris? I don't think so.
If I were an opposing team defense coordinator I would double OBJ and single everyone else, rush 4 and play tight coverage .., until the giants can show they can run and pass block
Looks like the Giants will need to get another tackle in the draft next year ... maybe not round 1, we need pass rushers bad .. but definitely by round 3
