It wasn't until their second to last drive that they finally adjusted, switching to one and three step drops with quicker slant and screen routes. Why did it take an entire game to make that adjustment? How do coaching geniuses go into a second half after being shut down in the first and say, well, let's just keep doing what we're doing?
And BTW, who was the last team to dominate the Giants. That would be the Redskins, who neutralized the Giants' pass rush by running the same delayed hand-off over and over again, to great effect. Didn't they see that video? They should have watched it. I watched it!

that's what I kept thinking, the Skins got plenty of time for Collins but the Pats great O-line couldn't stop them & they refused to give them help w/rb's.
