First, Belicik should have let the Giants score on the first play after the two minute warning instead of waiting through one full minute and using one time out. Brady would have had the ball with double the time and double the time outs at that point and only been down by 5.

Second, Coughlin should have just had Eli take a knee and ended the game rather than risking giving the ball back up to NE by running the ball at the end.

Fortunately for Coughlin, Beleciks gaffe will be the one to be remembered.

I think with two minutes left Belichick was still hoping they could hold them to a field goal and therefore only have to score a field goal themselves to win. Once the Giants picked up those extra 4 or 5 yards to put them basically on the 3 yardline or so, he figured it was too late to hope for a field goal.

      Needs to be a run heavy game. They have allowed 121+ on the ground in the last 3 games including 180 to Tampa yesterday. If they do the whole crowd the box deal like they did against us, push the ball downfield. If we can do it to the Rams and Falcons we can do it to them.

      Down year for QBs

      Rushing attempts PG are actually the 5th lowest since 1990.

      Down year for QBs

      team are playing lots of 2 high shell trying to take away the big plays.  But I mean, defenses being scared of QB play.....aids the run game.  I mean, don't pay the QB and have the threat....the safeties aren't going to be fixated on taking away the deep pass and can play the run and cheat on pass attempts.  I think what you are seeing is the most elite QBs are flat out being game planned for to take away the big play.  But if you aren't an elite QB and vertical threat QB.....defenses flat out aren't going to make that league wide shift on your offense.  Take a Bryce.  I would imagine most of his INTs are made by opposing safties over the course of his career (who aren't taking away the vertical but cheating to make plays on the intermediate balls)
