35 passes vs 23 rushes

Does that seem like the game plan we should run? I'd really like someone to defend this because I can't understand how we pass more than we run when we have not one, but two 1000 yard runners. I do understand we were playing from behind in the second half, but I feel we caved too quickly and put too much on #3.

The running game was tough today...the giants were slamming 9 guys in the box on first and second down, and blizting hte house on third. The giants were going to make the passing game (not just matt moore) beat them. Until someone proves they can consistently stretch the defense..everyone we play this year will stuff 9+ guys in the box. Today, fox had to go away from the run game, we were behind and the run game was stuck in neutral.

Our running game was shut down that is why.

Whoever said Fox got into panic mode is also naive. They put up a very quick 14 points due to the muffed snap and their opening drive. After that we were down two scores and the majority of the 3rd quarter gone, what on Earth do you expect him to do?!

Personally, when they were down 14 and had 1st and goal at the Giant 4 yard line with 8 and a half minutes to go I expected Stewart and a Jumbo Package to run it in and pull within 7.

    • ^I want that, but Rodriguez over KC. Don't hate KC as much at that spot, but rather take a WR with the pick we gain in that trade than in the 1st. 
    • I think there is good points in this thread to what the team needs to do. 1) Ball isn't really the issue but, he needs reigned in.  Coach and he need to realize when things aren't falling from the three and learn to play other facets of the game.  He's an amazing talent and when he's on, he's on.  But he can also shoot you out of a game.  We're lucky Miami went that way but that is too many missed threes.  He still needs to bulk up if he can, but he needs to drive more.  He's pretty good at finishing usually and hopefully the fouls come (probably not though).   2) The whole team needs to be more physical.  As others have stated, we need more bulk in our bigs.  Diabate is a hurricane of energy but cannot go against the larger centers.  I love him on the team but he should be more of a match up type guy or energy off the bench.  I think he'd be insane off the bench.  However I think the biggest issue with Diabate and Kaulk is the lack of offensive game.  The lack of a jump shot or anything.  Teams figured out to just leave them on the screen and crash lanes.  There has to be some sort of threat.  We need a 4 and a 5 that can do those things and stretch out the court. 3) Bridges.  He's just undersized.  However, I feel he really threw his all into it the last few weeks when others were gassed.  He was ok not being a focal point.  I'd like to have him off the bench as well but I assume he'd be traded to make things work.  4) Miller.  Dude can light it up when on, but disappears for quarters at a time.  Also he needs to work on ball handling and passing.  He's a turnover machine at bad times.  Also hopefully over the injury so he can bulk up too.   5) Kon. Just a rookie.  Long season and back injury.  I have no doubt he'll be back stronger and focused.  Needs to work on defense and physicality like the whole team but yes, a rookie he'll get there. 6) Coby.  Has to be resigned, no question.  The bench lineup is rough without him running the point.  Team has big potential and the front office seems sharp.  They seen the hive and how crazy it got and how much the city wants this.
