What I noticed is that Dallas adjusted to the rush by their play calling and found a way to move the ball. The Giants did not adjust so they lost. My point is that it seems that we never did do a good job of adjusting to what the other teams D was giving us when trying to preasur the QB.

No doubt. I mean, at Balt, it took us til 2 minutes left in the second to throw a checkdown. Almost a whole half, to beat a blitz. This isn't reinventing the wheel here. We didn't stop it so Balt kept doing it. Why don't teams blitz all the time? For knowledge that coaches will adjust to it and make a big play. We either haven't adjusted for it, have executed the adjustment, or don't have the personel (QB, RB, Hot Read WR's) to adjust to it.
And yes, for those that want to put it all on the oline, i think they devaluing our line play. Yes, they've had some bad games, but good playcalling and QB execution will overcome some mediocre line play. Pitts, Indi, Dal are a few of the top teams that have had horrendous line play this year. Worse than ours.
