They control the clock.

They run the ball and kill the clock. They tire out our defense. Then pass on our tired defense late in the game.

Meanwhile, we barely run the ball. BJGE only got 10 touches. Why were we rushing to score again when we have a 2 point lead? We have the OLine and the RB to kill the clock and tire out defenses. Instead we ran many plays without a RB in the backfield and let their big pass rushers pin their ears back and take shots at Brady. We have never attempted to tire out their defense or push them around in the run game. Giants do not have good run defense.

It's always the same damn strategy and its failed 3 times in a row.

The Giants had 7 losses this year. The Redskins in particular beat them twice by running the ball down their throat.

I suppose it's a somewhat fair criticism, but it seemed like the pats were running the ball, and the point is to score points --- who do you think is best at doing that on the pats?

there are all kinds of examples of teams winning the time of possession battle and losing the game, so to pick out one thing might be an oversimplification.
score more points and you win the game, don't have 12 men on the field, don't give up a clutch 38 yard pass play, don't get a safety, etc.......

the giants were the better team, that's it -- it was close, but we got beat by a really good team.
a team that also took out green bay and san fran on this run.

I hate to say this but the Pats are starting to resemble the Bills of the 90's

Coughlin is a better big game coach than BB is at this stage of their careers. It's not even debatable. Time to accept that fact.

He also knows BB like the back of his hand, which is another reason these games have been close.

Also, and most importantly, the Giants have drafted circles around NE in recent years. Nicks, Cruz Manningham, JPP, Tuck, Osi, Boley, etc. -- all home grown players.

It's not about the X's and the O's, it's about the Johnnies and the Joes. They're more talented and that shows up when it counts.

We can, we just didnt. We lost by a play 3 straight times. That doesnt mean we cant beat them it means we didnt.

Didn't work for the Falcons with a much better RB. That said, Brady being Brady opens things much more for his RB's than Ryan does. The run wasn't working for the Pats, but it wasn't for the Giants at first either. Have to be persistent with it, and I agree that was a big difference in the game.

Boley was not homegrown. Were you thinking of Kiwanuka? also add in Bradshaw, Kenny Phillips, Bradshaw, and a few more.

I said it over and over, run the ball. First play from BoB/Brady is what......oh let's try play action from Endzone and throw it where no WR is around, as if our speedster WR are going to blow past the Giants secondary.

I said it Giants O had ball for ALL by 3mins of Q1......and in Q4 D was gassed, look familiar ?

Good riddance to BoB...enjoy your career in Happy Valley.

The Patriots out coach themselves and miss on executing in critical moments. Against the Giants, this has become a theme.
