Giants D - Super Bowl XXV

[Xwnyer]

They also cheated a lot by having guys fall down acting injured slowing down the Bills uptempo and two plays later guy is back in making plays.

What makes Burrow so hard to defend is that he’s easily the best anticipatory passer in the league! Dude just puts the ball in the air and the receivers just have to be in certain spots. Bills must score 40 to win this game tomorrow. This game is gonna be hard because they’re gonna stress the defense and be very aggressive going for it on 4th down a lot. We might need to have the field littered with corners and safeties, because I have no faith that they’ll generate pressure and get to him. Burrow kills us with those little quick passes. I’m still trying to figure out how you defend those?😂

I don't know my football x's and o's as well as many people here (I'm a hockey player), but isn't the answer jamming the receivers at the line to throw off their timing? I don't recall our cornerbacks doing that much, which is actually all the more reason to do it today, take them by surprise. Of course, both Chase and Higgins are big boys, and White at least may be the least physical DB on the team, but still, you can't let them just catch the ball in stride. Another strategy, a complementary one, is to blow them up at the catch point. Both Bishop and Poyer have done that at times this season. Physicality is what I'd like to see. Since it's unlikely they'll hurry Burrows, who gets the ball off quickly anyway, focus on intimidating the receivers. 

Doesn't sound like a McDermott defense, though, does it?

I know more about XXV than any rational Bills fan should. Without getting into it again, the blame falls on the D. NY TOP 41:34. 9/16 on 3rd downs.  

 

They had them in the 1st half.  A few drives up 10-3 and then 12-3. Still hurts.

same, ive watched every interview about that game I could have... bill belichecks strategy won them that game, kellys/marvs inability to make the offensive adjustments right away is what lost them the game. thruman had 15 carries for 135. most of it in the second half. that's 9 yards a carry. 9. super billsy way to lose to a team with a backup QB in the SUPERBOWL. sigh.

Yeah, they should most definitely try that today because he’s gonna dink and donk us today like last time, so we gotta bring it…
