Re: when will they ever learn???
If a team stacks 8-9 guys in the box, you have to be able to throw the ball. Simple as that. Yes, we need to run. But if you can't pass, a good front-7 plus a safety will beat you. We've seen it 3 out of the last 4 game. Pitt, Dallas, and the Giants all have excellent fronts.
Gibbs I offense could throw. Yes, they were strong at the run, but they could exploit Ds that cheated against the run. We've been unable to do that this year.

Re: when will they ever learn???
This argument is simplistic. If the defense is one of the best in the NFL; if they're stacking 8 in the box; if they are an elite DL; you're not going to be able to run. 11 carries for 22 yds from a top RB, playing an emotional game, proves the point. One trick play (double reverse for the TD) does not a running game make.
The Giats set up their defense for Campbell to beat them and he couldn't. Dropped balls, Dropped INT, penalties, thrown INTs and a fumble helped in this loss. This offense is not that good, nor in synch. They need to improve to help this team win. |
