I disagree. Once it was obvious that the offense couldn't get going because the OL was getting run over, then the priority should have been increasing the protection. Maroney had some good runs running straight ahead early in the game because the Giants were selling out (as usual) to rush the QB. Josh should have bulked up the protection and worked on short passes mixed in with running plays and passes to Maroney. Also, increasing help for the OL might have given them some confidence and allowed them to play better later, without help. It also would have allowed Brady to get comfortable in the pocket which is essential for him to play well when pressured. Brady never got comfortable and his play suffered because of it. The Pats O never got into a rhythm because BB and McDaniels were too arrogant to make the necessary adjustments to combat the fact that the OL stunk.
What's ironic about this game is that despite the Giants playing to the max of their potential and despite the OL's and Brady's crappy play, the Pats talent still allowed them to move the ball. However, McDaniels would then pull a completely stupid playcall out his butt to terminate a drive. Classic case was the stretch play to the left on a 2nd and 2. Perfect freaking time for a playaction/quick slant. Then, he ran the same stupid play on 3rd and 1, to the same side, from an OBVIOUS running formation. McDaniels' idiotic playcalling cost us this SB as surely as the dropped INTs by the DBs on the last drive.
