37 Passes?

[romothesavior]

That's a ridiculous number of passing attempts when you have a struggling rookie QB, your running game is working, and it's a close game from start to finish.

Totally inexcusable performance tonight by Linehan. And frankly I put some of the blame on Garrett too for not telling him to knock it off.

Isn't this why we have a "no new threads" rule immediately after games?

 

[mldardy]

We weren't exactly running the ball all that well either. A lot of long 2nd and 3rd downs tonight.

 

[BoysfanfromCanada]

I just don't think the Giants had a game plan with no counter... this is the first time all season this has happened, but Linehan and Garrett have a history of it. Especially with a weapon like Zeke

 

[OriginalNameGuy]

No choice man. We had too many 3rd and 11, 3rd and 12 tonight. Sometimes due to bonehead penalties, sometimes due to the run getting stuffed on 1st(2nd half) gotta throw the ball there.

 

[erod]

Zeke ran it 24 times.

 

[65fastback2plus2]

Zeke ran it 24 times.

We run like 51% of the time. 37 to 24 is wayyyy off

 

[Yuma Cactus]

The last 2.5 or 3 weeks Dak has played like the 4th Rnd QB that he was. Still needs time.

 

[Nexx]

im not sure we ever ran the ball on 2nd down the entire second half

Tell that to the guy creating threads about his love for cats

Was debatable.... You would have thought we were 31st in rushing offense like the GIANTS ARE tonight running the ball in the second half

I hope the coaches arent "resting" zeke for the playoffs and throwing off our groove

The defense had ZERO respect for our passing game, Zeke was running into a brick wall on most of his runs. After the Giants realized Dak wasnt going to beat them it got even worse.

 

[skinsscalper]

Anytime Prescott throws the ball 37 times, you can chalk up a loss. He's not that kind of QB.

Bingo

 

[mattjames2010]

Stay in man to man, keep coverages tight, and you pretty much make Dak obsolete.

Can't believe we are stuck with this trash into the playoffs.

Reminds me of the old Romo days.

Run the football!!!

 

[NextGenBoys]

The passes were in the flow of the game.

Stop making decisions based off of a box score.

 

[CWR]

Wed have run more if our first down runs werent good for 2 yds each time. We were forced into alot of second and third and longd

For most of the game, the run/pass balance was about the same as it has been all season. The only difference was that instead of being able to run out the clock at the end, we were behind and had to pass.

How many decades' worth of data will be required until people finally understand why the rushing and passing dynamics work the way they do?
