Quote from: Quick Kick on October 30, 2023, 11:24:14 AMI think the Giants should have let the Jets have the ball first in OT.
My reasoning is they were not going to score a TD on their first possession to win and the D was playing well enough to get a stop if the Jets got the ball. Now all the Giants needed was a FG to win.
Why give it to your offense who was unable to move the ball. Give it to your defense get a stop, get back momentum and hope for a FG. A 3 and out by the Offense just gives the Jets mo and deflates the D.
I was thinking this too.
The best I could come up with for a reason was to give the defense a rest after the Jets drive but it just doesn't right. Has Daboll commented on it yet? Seemed very obvious for them to kick the ball in that situation.
