We now know who the best team. We face them 2x/year and know how we match up. So what specifically do we need to do to consistently beat them? (That should be the goal). I'll start with:

 

1. Adjustments: both during the game and at half time. They do a better job here than others and pull away when it counts most.

cheat more.

Most comments are silly. Need a "O" line to protect and open. Open takes the presure off QB. TE. Good QB that can handle the game. Stop saying brady. We are not getting one. Sett had them. DB's were hurt. One bad "O" call and they got NE. Stop talking like they are unbeatable. Brady crys like a baby and the refs protect him. So be it. We have the "D" to beat them now. Go Bills

I think you may be right about having the defense already, we had more sacks each of the last 2 years than giants had when they took a pair of bowls off them. Especially now with Ryan as HC. His ability to adjust and use multiple fronts during the game, counters pats versatile offense.

 

BUT we need an offense that can move the chains and keep the defense off the field. People remember the pass plays giants hit on when they beat them in super bowls, but for the most part they were a run-first power running team with Jacobs and Bradshaw running behind a stacked oline. Also got solid play out of their TE's.

 

This makes me feel that much better about Rex because in addition to defense, his teams had better olines and a greater focus on getting a top TE than us. We already have the backs, just hard for them to do much when the guards aren't getting any push up the middle. Roman emphasizes TE a lot more than Hackett did too. And we need one too because Chandler just doesnt play physical enough. Watkins/Woods/Hogan may not be the best trio in the league, but they're good enough if used smartly in a predominantly run-first power running offense. Best case we can replicate an offense like Giants had under Gilbride
