yea the giants can't really do any of these things

that's the problem. it's possible to beat the panthers this way, but you've gotta have the personnel packages to do it. the giants don't have a pass rush, the linebackers are decent but their secondary is the worst in the nfl right now bar none, their offensive line has zero chemistry, they're banged up at receiver now (their slot guy, i'm hearing, incidentally) and they've yet to establish a convincing run game that could ground the play-action passes necessary to exploit safety play.

basically they are doomed lol

Make Cam leave the pocket & single Olsen. You're welcome, NFL.

The main problem for defenses is the rule that only allows for 11 players. Cam has proven that he can beat your defense at any level with his arm. You can't stack the box without getting exposed deep, and you can't expect to play coverage without getting picked apart.

Getting pressure with 4-5 men is essential. As great as Cam is, the Titans were able to frustrate him at times by getting early pressure. Easier said than done. There's a reason the team is 13-0, after all.

this is one of the most brilliant write ups I've seen in a while, but probably one of the dumbest decisions to actually post on a public forum :) 

it's gotten twice the views and half the pie as most do at this point... not exactly a savory subject when we're undefeated :-)

Congrats and welcome back!

Hope you didn't take any of Pele's volcanic rocks. That's epic level bad juju. Think of the children undefeated streak and mail it back if you did

haha nope, i was gonna bring a bunch of black sand from a beach and put it in an empty crystal head vodka bottle but forgot :(

just FYI, the giants executed numbers three and four extremely well. key in the pass game was letting the ends run harmlessly by the quarterback with single tackles pushing them, allowing the interior line to focus on marginalizing the defensive tackles (which they executed flawlessly.)

they also did an enviable job of running the ball, which appears to have been the overall gameplan. tons and tons of B-gap stuff. our guys were getting manhandled at the line and the giants were constantly able to work blockers up into the secondary and get downfield.

looking like some misdirection going on too. lots of over-pursuit vis-a-vis the kurt coleman warning.

also they moved OBJ into the slot in the second half and start picking on finnegan. he's a really disciplined corner and showed it on a number of plays, but he doesn't have the gear to keep up with OBJ coming across the field, which is why OBJ ended up with 90% of his yards on the day.

i heard an incredible stat: if NFL games were 58 minutes long the giants would be 11-2. they've got a very, very good offense. it almost bit us in the ass.

    • Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way. 
    • We're in a great position to see just how big of a misstep it would be, having made so many ourselves
    • I didn't say I would have done it. I was just saying that I can see why some in the FO considered it. Everything was done to give Bryce weapons. Solidify the interior line thru FA. Get XL at WR in round 1 and then get the most talented RB in round 2. Take a TE in round 4, etc They were probably "assuming" he'd make a complete recovery during the 2024 season. I'm a skeptical person. I wouldn't have assumed he'd be ok in 2024. I personally would have taken another position in the 2nd for that very reason. But, if I were "influenced" to take him I would've argued to keep him off the field, especially seeing how things were going for us record wise. Conventional Wisdom says most backs don't get back to normal until two years after the ACL surgery. He was injured in Fall 2023. Having him suit up in 2025 would have been almost 2 years since the original injury. You have him for 3 year on low contract. If he balls out, you resign him for a couple of more years b/c he'd only have 3 years of tread on the tires. If he's ok but not great you let him walk.
