Quote from: MightyGiants on October 17, 2024, 01:03:19 PMI have been wondering if our defense is as good as they seem. One thing I have observed over the years is that when a team gets a lead against a team with an unproductive offense (like the Giants), they tend to get more conservative and reign things in a bit offensively.
I think one indicator that this might be happening is that when the Giants take the lead or threaten to take the lead, suddenly, the opposing offense is able to score.
I wonder how the defense would perform if opposing teams expected the Giants to score over 20 points in a game.
I do think opposing teams know the Giants aren't going to break the scoreboard, allowing for a more conservative approach on the risk/reward paradign.
