Finally. before the snap, I'd texted everyone I know, that the giants should throw for that last 3rd down, when Ahmad came up inches short. I know the pass game struggled. but, you have to trust your ELIte qb and make a play to finish the game. everyone in Dallas knew it would be a run. almost came back to bite us big time.
very relieved, but Steelers won't self destruct if we play like that. Nor will GB, even the Saints, or Redskins or Ravens.
