Tcali Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 leading 20-11..........less than 10 minutes left......I would have been very tempted to go for it. The punt gained them 26 yds. A first would have eaten tons more clock and almost guaranteed more points. Close call but I lean toward going for it. Everyone except Dick Jauron please feel free to comment.

Erik Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 leading 20-11..........12 minutes left......I would have been very tempted to go for it. The punt gained them 26 yds. A first would have eaten tons more clock and almost guaranteed more points. Close call but I lean toward going for it.Everyone except Dick Jauron please feel free to comment. Giants have barely done anything on O all day...I think the safe call was the right one in that situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most teams play it safe in that situation. Since the Giants haven't been able to move the ball, putting them in a longer field ain't necessarily a bad play.

KD in CA Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Giants have barely done anything on O all day...I think the safe call was the right one in that situation. Absolutely correct. And as it turned out it took the Giants about 3 minutes to get that 26 yards back before failing again on 4th down. This game's over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This game's over. NOW it's over thanks to that pretty pass from McNabb to DeSean Jackson. And kudos to Reid for staying aggressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloWings Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Absolutely correct.

And thanks to Desean Jackson's catch, it's really over, no matter what Philly does here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rico Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Not taking Ngata OR Bunkley at #8 was a mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even worse was throwing on 3rd&goal from the 2 with 4 minutes left. Run the ball and you kill 15% of the remaining clock or make the Giants use their last time out.
