All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!

The offense wasn't the issue in that game, IMO...they ran 25 times for 166, Thomas had 190 total yards, TT and Kenny Davis accounted for 7 of the 18 completions, and they scored 19 pts in 19.5 minutes of possession.
Defense (especially the 9+minute drive in the third) and the missed kick were much larger factors.

Oh the offense had plenty to do with the this loss. They should have ran the ball 60 times until the Giants adjusted then you pass on them. Kelly was a stubborn fool in this game as was Levy not reigning him in and telling him to stop throwing and run the ball. The giants only had like 3 or 4 lineman. in a nutshell though...
1. Bad tackling
2. Timely penalties
3. Dropped Balls
4. Refuse to run more
5. Bad clock management during the 2min warning final drive.

I don't blame Norwood at all....
I do......his main job is to make field goals and he missed!
Re: They re-aired Super Bowl XXV on NFLN tonight...
I do blame Norwood for missing the kick but that is just one of many reasons why they lost the Super Bowl. Greedo summed up the list of mistakes that contributed along with Norwood's miss that cost the game.

My point is it shouldn't have even come down to a kick! They should have beaten this depleted Giants team by 3 td's. Backup QB/backup RB/ 5'7 mini RB breaking tackles/3-13 from a journeymen WR breaking 20 tackles in Mark Ingram. Seriously?? The Giants D played right into therir hands to scream to run the ball 100 times. Kelly's ego and Marv's lack of authority blew that part of the gameplan. Norwood shouldn't have been a factor except on extra points....
Re: They re-aired Super Bowl XXV on NFLN tonight...
The players being c0cky and spending all week boozing it up did us in. 9 times out of 10 we should have blown away that old and overmatched Giants team.
