That's how things go, you're not going to make the right call 100% of the time. You win some, you lose some. If it works it's a genius call, if it fails then it's a disaster.
I'd guarantee you that ALOT of calls/decisions are made before the game. That 3rd and 1 call was obviously a part of the 3rd down package of the game plan. That's why teams game plan and scheme. I'm sure that defensively, the Giants KNEW that we have run 100% of the time on 3rd and 1.

That's fine in the first quarter, maybe even the second. But to say, we're not even going to consider how the Gyants' D has
actually been playing, or what has worked on offense today, is ridiculous.
Now, if Buges had said, "That was our plan, but we decided
at the time that passing on this 3rd down play was the best decision", I'm not going to second guess that. What I do second guess is making that decision for a play in the 3rd quarter before the game even starts.
