What do they do?

Come out like they're going to hard count and then punt if the Eagles don't jump, then Eli steps back into shotgun, they pass it and Cruz takes it down to about the Eagles' 5 yard line.

Coughlin is a defensive minded guy and has won two Super Bowls. Food for thought.

(Then Eli throws a pick to start the 4th, but the point remains, lol.)

Giants also:

Have won x2 Super Bowls, allowing for a little more freedom if that play doesn't work.

Have a dominant defensive line that Coughlin believes in, in case that doesn't work.

Has two-three above-average to very good wide receivers that can be a nightmare for almost any defensive backfield in the NFL.

Have one of the best offensive lines in the NFL.

There is a reason that they won the Super Bowl last year. They're a fuging good team.

And they make decisions that most teams don't have the guts to.

Coughlin was always an offensive coach before he became a head coach. Receivers, QB, and OC.

My fault then, but regardless, his teams weren't renowned for their offenses. I was only 12 when he became the coach of the Jaguars, so I wasn't aware of his background.

These Giants teams he's coached have always been known for their defenses as well up until the last year or so. The point is still valid.

Completely different situation. Giants were down. They were also past midfield.

Panthers were up. We were just about on midfield IIRC. Falcons only needed 3 points to win.

Not saying we shouldn't have gone for it. I guess we underestimated our defenses suckiness. But I doubt Coughlin goes for it if he was in Rivera's shoes. Situations really aren't comparable.

Do you remember the Jags of the late 90s with Brunell? They were not shabby.

Yeah, with Jimmy Smith, McCardell, and Stewart/Taylor at RB.

Good teams.

I knew he came from the Parcells coaching tree though, and his teams always seemed on the conservative side strategy-wise, so I always assumed he was defensively oriented.

You learn something new everyday, lol.

      Panthers coverage efficiency

      By NAS · Posted

      Call me crazy but if you’re in the bottom 7 in efficiency using Zone 84% of the time why not try something else? You paid Jaycee top 5 CB money use him more effectively. Zone is only efficient if you can generate a good pass rush to force a QB into mistakes otherwise you will get picked apart

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Good Lord this board has become a cesspool of negativity and where fandom becomes something twisted and unrecognizable.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.
