GREAT WIN. The team did two things that were missing all year, which proves that D&D have no clue in how to call a consistant game.
1) Ball control by running thorughout, but specifically, in the 4th! We owned that quarter. Yes it was AVP, and maybe they were afraid of letting him throw(?), but that eating up the clock was something almost every team has done to us this year, yet we haven't until now.
It also shows that with a strong committment to the running game, you don't need to depend on Bledsoe all the time to bail you out.
2) Blitz/pressure. While the Giants O-line looked like the Bills' at times, we kept up pressure on Mary Collins all day. Something other teams have done to Bledsoe constantly. Even when the Gisants scored, we still kept at it.
We still are giving up a few too many 3rd-down conversions to teams, but increased pressure did its job.
Great to see these two things, but where has this been all year? Not to worry though. Next week, we'll be back our old ways and D&D 2 – When KG met GW.
