What are some things you do different in the likelihood we meet them in the playoffs?

Offense- They still won't have JPP. I would love to see us lineup Beasley or Whitehead in the backfield and run them to flats to keep defenses honest. I would recommend rub routes or picks but we seldomly use them. I would like to see quick passes to WRs if their DB is playing off and throw screens to them as well. I'd line up Dez inside more often and hit the quick slant on hot reads. Once we stretch their front seven towards the flats we can use Dak to run some as well to get him going. I'd rather see that than him shuffling his feet in place.

Doing these things would create some momentum and help Dak create some rythym.


Defense- I would repeat last night's game plan. Eli will throw into some mistakes and we need to capitalize. With Mo back we'll be ready to beef up our secondary.



What are some things you would do?


BTW- still pissed watching their sideline waving us goodbye at the end.

I don't think you left a lot of room to contribute! Nicely covered. Screens and slants are going to be vital, and Dak needs to get the ball out quickly with decisive read.

I've been wondering why he doesn't run more and why they don't rotate in more designed runs for him. Maybe saving it for the playoffs.

I'd force him to run early to get those nerves flushed outside his system.

I'm quietly hoping for this...

I think by not getting rid of the ball quick we won't generate momentum. Holding on to that ball plays into NYG's hands. It allows for extra blitzers and Dak eventually gets swallowed up in the pocket. Set the tempo with quick passes and NY will hesitate to blitz as often.

Screens to Zeke. Make the big defenders have to chase him to the edges.

Never put Dunbar on the field when the offense is out there. Ever.

This is the key. Everything else won't matter.

lol but seriously I just face palmed every time Zeke went out and he was out there on third down. No wonder why we were so unsuccessful on third down conversions. 3rd down is kinda an important down and we need our best players out there.

If we play the Giants again I would play Romo. Honestly the Giants are in daks head. Just like when we played the eagles 3 times. McNabb was acting all confident just like Dark but inside he didn't have it. I do not like our chances in round 3 I'll say that much.

Giants win 27-20 and go to Super Bowl for Giants- Patriots III

if that were to happen I am not sure I could muster up the energy ever again to watch football.

Seriously I don't think I could handle another home playoff loss to the Giants. I can still smell the stadium and the cold air from the game in january of 08 and I hate it.

What I want to see different is Linehan to come up with a game plan on offense that the Giants can't hold in check

Giants aren't doing anything special and can be easily defeated if Cowboys aren't so hard headed

Easily? they have beat us 3 straight times. They bought a defense in free agency to stop Dallas.

It worked. They have our number.
