I think plenty of people on this board have given plenty of reason over and over again. I know we arent the HC but they sort of make sense?
Starting LG out early - strength of our run game is the left side
Giants secondary was getting beat bad and wr's were open all over the place - it was apparent that there was a reason they ranked dead last against the pass
Giants stuffed us in a third or fourth? and short and stacked the box and bottled both Almo and Jones up early - it was apparent that there was a reason they ranked number one against the run.
Cousins had so much time to throw It was laughable on a handful of plays. Our pass pro seemed legit for the first time in a long time.
We were down 12 for most of the game which forced us to throw more.
