I wouldn't be surprised to see the offensive starters play a few more snaps than usual given their performance on Friday night. Other than that, let's avoid any injuries and move onto game week.
Here's the local TV information, but if you want to save your eyes and ears from Don Criqui and Randy Cross, the game is on the NFL Network as well.

TELEVISION: This week’s game will be broadcast by the Patriots Preseason Television Network and can be seen in every New England state as well as Hawaii. The network's flagship station is WBZ-TV Channel 4 in Boston. Veteran CBS broadcaster Don Criqui provides play-by-play and is joined by three-time NFL Pro Bowler and CBS analyst Randy Cross.

I'll be there tonight. Spending my work day furiously getting to know the numbers of all the bubble players. Of course, last time I was at a preseason game I thought Chad Jackson looked good and Matt Cassel was a goner, so I guess it doesn't really matter either way.

I couldn't imagine going to this game back in 2008. I have no idea how you're doing it in 2012 after another painful Giants SB win over us. You're a brave man, sir.

I hope you have a good sense of humor and a thick skin. Based on some of the e-mail traffic I've seen, many Giants fans are going to have a very good time tonight at our expense. No big thing, it's an exhibition game, they earned it, etc. Still, if you're easily annoyed, being there might be a challenge.

[Mystic Merlin]

I wouldn't be at this game for all of King Midas' gold. New Yorkers are the worst winners around, and I have no interest in withstanding a test of my psychological toughness for their benefit.

[Jed Zeppelin]

I already watched them lose the Super Bowl. Nothing could make me feel worse than that. Also I have much more animosity toward the Patriots for losing than toward the Giants for winning. Handled it once before and will again. Don't get to go to games often enough to be able to turn this down just because the circumstances are suboptimal.

A healthy attitude.

I'd rather eat razor blades.

But still, a healthy attitude.

I do look forward to seeing the Pats play at 16W on Thanksgiving night....

You're a better man than me. Enjoy.

I am having a hard time recalling if I have ever seen the Pats play on a Wednesday night.

I reserve the right to take back everything I've said in the event that being there causes some sort of catastrophic post-traumatic stress reaction.

[RedOctober3829]

Tom Brady in warmup gear, not uniform. Several other top players with him.

Reiss

Guess they aren't going to get the offense any more reps. Health over everything else.

[Mystic Merlin]

Doesn't sound like Mayo, Wilfork, Hightower, Jones, or McCourty are gonna take the field, either.

Good. Giants fans will already have their party at our expense. Last thing we need is for JPP or someone to drill Brady.

Excellent point, my feeling exactly, nothing against the Giants, I'm more pissed at the Patriots for losing.

For losing to a team that was 9-7.

The 9-7 Super Bowl Champion New York Giants.

You do have a great attitude; I couldn't do it, I'd rather to go a fucking hanging.

[Mystic Merlin]

9-7?

Ask the top two seeds in the NFC all about the Giants' regular season record.

[cshea]

Almost a pick 6 but, hey, the line held up pretty well.

[Eck'sSneakyCheese]

Well that sucked...

[JohnnyTheBone]

Demps returning a punt. Looks like they want him to be multi-purpose if he's going to take a roster spot.

[axx]

That screen looked a little awkard

[Mystic Merlin]

Don, anyone watching this knows who Eli is.

He looks real good

[cshea]

Cunningham!

[bosox188]

Ron Brace: Blowing Shit Up

Cunningham joins in!

[smokin joe wood]

Damn. Cunningham showing some good strength there.

[j44thor]

Are the NYG playing their backup OL? They look awful out there. If that is the case why would they risk Eli and the rest of the #1s with that OL?

[SoxScout]

Bedard's writing of Brace's camp dominance showing up in games.

[Mystic Merlin]

This 'Anchorman' ripoff is gonna get tiresome by, oh, Week 1.

[Ferm Sheller]

Did Cross call Fells "Silvestri"?

[Cornboy14]

I think this game is on NFL Network if you're sick of the Cross Criqui Clown Show

[JohnnyTheBone]

I assumed he mean Silvestro, but anythingggggg's posssssssible with these two.

Thanks, but I'm in the Boston area...Football Follies or something like that is on.

not in boston... i'm getting some thing about former heisman winners.

[axx]

That was 6 if Eli got it to Cruz

[Ferm Sheller]

Ebner would have tracked him down...

[Domer]

Should be on WVNY where you are

Sorry, I should have thought about local blackout.

It's OK, I am hopeful that Drunken Koch is in the area for some reason and will get airtime.

[bosox188]

Holy fuck did Criqui really not know how many Superbowls Brady has won?

[Ferm Sheller]

They sure look worried about the offense...

[neil]

Clearly working on chemistry there.

[JohnnyTheBone]

Zoltan is in All-Pro form.

[cshea]

Nice stick by Tavon Wilson.

[Ferm Sheller]

Ballard would have held that.

[sachmoney]

Nice hit by Wilson to knock the ball loose.
