They definately rushed their playcalling when they didn't need to, BUT thats no excuse to run two running plays from the one and not score. Only the blockers and Betts himself can take the blame for that.

And no, it shouldn't have come down to that. However, it did, and the fact that it shouldn't have come down to that is not an excuse for poor execution.

Jeremy Green is completely wrong. I understand his point about Gibbs, and I know it wasn't pretty, but how can we "take the handcuffs" off Campbell? We threw 21 out of the 29 plays in the second half (spikes omitted)!! I know we were chasing, but Campbell DID NOT COMPLETE A PASS FOR POSITIVE YARDAGE IN THE SECOND HALF UNTIL WE WERE TRAILING. He had 4 incompletions, a scramble, and a -4 yard completion before he completed a pass for positive yardage in the second half.

Theres really no defense for J. Green's analysis. He obviously didn't do any and is clearly in the wrong.

Nice post GTripp. We don't always agree, but at least you think before you type.

Now this is interesting actually. That number is compelling. Why is it though that the entire second hald felt like we simply were not trying to do anything on offense? Anyone have an answer for that. Anyone here in the second half actually feel like we were still running a balanced offense? I felt the entire second half like all we wanted to do was run the ball and take no chances. But it is hard to argue with 21 of 29

They didn't start passing it a lot until they were losing, and then they totally abondoned the run. The Redskins had a big lead at half time and they just totally came out flat in the second half.

I was at the game and we had 7 to 8 pass plays were JC just did not see a wide open WR. My wife even asked why JC did not throw the ball to the open WR. Then when I get home my budy made the comment that JC was starring down WR's and this would make sense to why he missed the open WR.

I agree but it seems like everyone is blamming the play calling and the coaches when it may have been that JC just did not make the playes he needed to. I'm not talking about WR's just a little open I can remember seeing guys with 7 to 10 yards of seperation from any Giants players. If it only happened a couple of times that would be one thing but I saw this play after play.
