Not to mention I think 12 of them came in one game courtesy of McPuke having one of his total melt down evenings.

I did know that. I'd imagine it's because other than Vrabel we didn't have any one player with all that many. Thomas and Green each had 6.5 and no one else on the team had more than 4.

The Giants get notoriety for it more because their sacks are concentrated in fewer "pass rush guys". Fair or not, it is what it is.

Plus....

Our give/take ratio is +16.

Giants are a -9

You'd think all that QB pressure they generate would cause more turnovers.

Just so you know, it's "alludes". Elude is what Brady is going to do to the Giants' pass rush as he throws his 5th TD on the day.

evryone alludes to the giant pass rush cause they are searching for a reason why the Giants can win. No need to search for reasons for a Pats victory. And if you mention the pats are second than the reason doesn't seem as valid.

It's worth noting that the Giants talented pass-rush, while obviously elite, got a LOT of those sacks in a few games against teams that struggled all year in protecting the QB, including 12 in one game against the Iggles.
