The game plan was atrousious, the Giants secondary is horrible and we come out running the ball, and we don't only run the ball but we run it right at thier strength thier D-ends.

Obviously Moss and co. can't get open against that stellar Giant secondary.

The most disgusting part of that entire game was late in the third we had a third and 1 around the Giants 20 yard line and we deciede to throw it, no play action pass just another short pass to Cooley who I might add was double covered, but Brunell in his infinite fear of getting hit throws it to him anyway with no one around him, why would he make that throw? Because if he has to take the time to find another reciever that might give the D enough time to come free and hit him and we can't have that. Then the dumbest move of the day, we deciede to kick a fieldgoal, which would still leave us down by 2 scores, taking into account how poorly we have been playing I think the no brainer is to go for it there, unfortunatly we do not believe that a 52 million dollar back is capable of gaining 1 yard with 2 down's to go, let alone on 4th down. I can't remember the last time we ran for a first down on third down with more than a yard to go.
