No hold called on Smith and we win.

That simple. DWill got a big run, down to the 20-25 or so and for some reason SS had to tangle with a guy and hold.

THAT, was the ballgame.

It takes a chippy away from Kasay.

All the miles of running yards the Giants got would mean nothing.

I just want to take care of the Saints now and get a bye and play here.

Agree, stupid play to take it to that extreme. However, he held a player on Dwill's big run and got away with it. The refs were giving a lot of latitude last night.

Felllas. Please read the thread BEFORE posting.

Im NOT blaming Smith. I said if the hold call is NOT called, game over. Very different.

He made a bad play by getting that tangeled up sure, but there were tons of holds NOT called. Which is my point.

The worse time for a non no call to be made at the expense of great field postion.

Also Godfrey knocked away a sure pick in OT. Ball bounced exactly the wrong way on the muffed punt.

Both would have ballgame.

I know you want your secondary to stop passes from completing, and it starts there, but my God I think our guys seem to go an extra mile to drop clear INT's.

    • It wasn't a his sack production, it was about his skill set, build, and scheme fit. He's a six foot tall 280 pound DT. He's best used as an interior pass rushing specialist. He can't play the nose in a 3-4 and he doesn't have the length or burst to play he end either. He just wasn't a scheme fit. He'd be a good roster piece as a rotational pass rushing specialist DT to bring in on passing downs in an even defensive front. But you can't hand out a 3 year/$45M contract for that either. Tha type of contract means you have to try to find starter snap numbers for him and that's a problem in a 3-4 front. Hell, it's a problem in a 4-3 front too. That's why the Chiefs were willing to let him walk.
    • Quite a few people argued we way overpaid high end starter money for a guy that was basically a capable backup at best. It was a bad move facilitated by a need to save face after missing out on Williams. It is what it is man. We aren't being paid to carry Dan Morgan's water. It'll be alright.
    • Who else at DT was available coming off a 6.5 sack season, that was relatively affordable?  We took the Milton Williams money and added Turk AND Bobby Brown III. You can't predict soft tissue, and surgery in this case. Part of the business.
