If You Watched That Game, You Know One Thing.

Well after watching the game I think one universal truth about winning still reigns. BALANCE, throughout your overall game, usually puts you in the best possible trajectory for victory. SolidD, solid O, solid special teams, good coaching with a good game plan, and steady, heady management. I don't think this is a secret.

I don't think the answer is a player at all. I believe Nolan will use 11 men strategically and get pressure on the quarterback with or without the big names and big paychecks that go with them. If you put Williams in a three man rush with a soft zone played down field, even he would suck. The scheme has a lot more to do with success than a player does.

The truth is the defense won the game for the Giants. Pats couldn't stop the D line and the Pats D couldn't penetrate because they had to double up on DB's Pats D is nowhere near as good as their O and the SB proved it.

The Pats O-line held the Giants D-line at bay for a good chunk of the game. The flood gates opened when the Giants realized they didn't have to respect Gronk and when the Patriots couldn't get a run game going.

Do you guys think that it is possible that the DT that can collapse the line is already on the team, a possible draft choice, a reasonably priced free agent from another team, or maybe even an undrafted free agent coming out of college? Or is MW the be all to end all and without him the team will suck?

Get Babs healthy, continue coaching up Peters, keep Walker, and draft Kendall Reyes. I'll feel much better about the interior D-line with that situation.

Nolan already said he would rather have 10 guys get 4 sacks than 4 guys than get 10 sacks. I know Nolan isn't the guy who will be making the personnel decisions, but he will have input, and I just don't see that happening.

That is what I like about Nolan. We are going to have a defensive unit that will not be totally inept if one of the major contributors is injured and misses games.

so true. I bet the Pats would love to take Michael Turner & Roddy White off our hands. Gronk being gimpy & no receiver to take the top off the D plus some costly drops by Pats receivers played a bigger part in the loss than the Giants D
