Giants screwed up

Not a dog in race except having Patriots in survivor pool but why did Giants attempt 3 passes 1st goal when they could have run clock down?

No just the ML
Had a small ML parlay with it. Really liked both ML and thought a small parlay was in order because winning one there's profit to make more on the same two. To me it just set up so nice.
Very simple answer, absolutely worst clock mgmt. in that situation, they should have at least gotten it down to about a minute left in which case even the last FG would have been difficult/near impossible given the way the last series went down. I did not have the game but was thinking how bad they were screwing up as it was unfolding...especially the pass play leaving a second on the clock before the two minute warning...BUT not surprising as we've seen it before with Coughlin and the G-men
Agree with this. Had Giants plus 7.5 and was sweating the blocked fg for a td
Maybe you and I were watching a different game Reb. The Giants are playing for a TD. They get a tuff break on the 2:01 left after reversal. Here are the plays in question in reverse order:
J.Brown kicks 65 yards from NYG 35 to end zone, Touchback.
4Q 3:47
4TH & 11 on NE 11
1:50 J.Brown 29 yard field goal is GOOD, Center-Z.DeOssie, Holder-B.Wing.
3RD & 5 on NE 5
-6 YD
1:56 (Shotgun) E.Manning sacked at NE 11 for -6 yards (M.Brown).
2ND & 5 on NE 5
No Gain
2:01 (Shotgun) E.Manning pass incomplete short right to D.Harris.
1ST & 5 on NE 5
No Gain
2:06 (Shotgun) E.Manning pass short left to O.Beckham Jr. for 5 yards, TOUCHDOWN. The Replay Official reviewed the pass completion ruling, and the play was REVERSED. (Shotgun) E.Manning pass incomplete short left to O.Beckham Jr. (M.Butler).
not to mention the bad luck with beckham not securing catch+the play not lasting an extra second
What occurred:
Brady got the ball back down 2 with approx. 1:50 left and no timeouts.
What wudda occurred:
Brady gets the ball back down 6 or 7 with 1 timeout.
Probable reason:
On the NYG 2nd and goal after the 2MW Pats let them score.
NYG are facing Belichick not Lovie Smith.
Chuck early I mentioned 2 timeouts left for NE, but I believe it was only one.
The BEST HC/QB combination in the history of football.
One question why on a running play you just have to break the front of the goal line for a touchdown but on a passing play you can comedown with two feet in bounds with control get knocked down lose the ball and it's not a TD. What am I missing. I bet very little and very light in the NFL they should call it the yellow flag league and make it up as you go. I see it one way you see it another way. They even fuck up reply's. Good Luck with the NFL
