[@pac401]

Ron Erhardt's offensive game plan should be in there too. A master class on how to stop an explosive offense. Keep the ball away from the Bills and run the clock.

[@cwfenn]

In a way, this might have been a preview of Belichick's Patriots career - win it by using the defense to keep it close and having mentally tough QB play. What Hostetler and Anderson did to squeeze out every yard and second that they did was remarkable. And while Belichick's defensive strategy was genius, the Giants weren't playing some prevent defense-they were hitting the Bills hard every chance they got.

[@Iconhulk]

[@TheLocalLt]

@@pac401 Belichick later re-used this exact plan again, on both offense and defense, to defuse the record-setting Manning Colts in the 2004 AFC Divisional, where he held Manning (record 49 TD passes in the regular season) to 3 points and just 20 minutes of possession, and that’s with several top defensive players out with injury including Ty Law and Richard Seymour. They ran it for 200+ yds with Corey Dillon and Kevin Faulk on the Colts undersized defense while the defense focused on intimidating the Colts receivers and mostly ignored Edgerrin James, betting that the Colts would not try to win via running the ball. That game is right up there with this one, and the Super Bowl 36 upset of the Greatest Show on Turf, as the one of Belichick’s greatest all time performances

Norwood missing was not a fluke. He was terrible on grass past 40 yards, I think 1-5 and 0-6 in his career from 50 yards+. The Giants had only a week to prepare after the titanic 49er game, and they were facing a very talented team on the type of tear that usually ends in a championship. They had to play it on a razor's edge, bend but not break, let Thomas run wild, and they knew precisely how much field position they could give up where Norwood's deficiencies could be exploited.

The Giants' defense was so effective at jamming and hitting the Bills' receivers with such force, that several sure fire catches were dropped by Bills' receivers. This is exactly what Bill Belichick wanted to happen, and it did! Bill Belichick's defensive plan is pure genius. I'd go as far as to say that Bill's defensive plan is the greatest game plan of all-time. Had the Bills stuck with giving the ball to Thurman Thomas more often, the Bills would have won this game easily. During the first half, you can tell the Bills gave Thomas the ball on at least a few occasions, and Thomas had some epic runs, but for whatever reason, Marv Levy and Jim Kelly didn't capitalize on the Giants willingness to giving up huge chunks of yardage on the ground until the second half of the game. The Bills unwillingness to go to the ground in the first half is just mind blowing to me. Game plans are great, but the ability to adapt a game plan on the fly to what's working is what separates the boys from the men.

There weren't a lot of men around so it took my best friend getting Tecmo Bowl on his Nintendo for me to start to pay attention to and understand football. The Bills sucked up until middle school so I honestly didn't really start watching them until this playoff run. The AFC Championship Game and this Super Bowl were probably the first two football games I watched from beginning to end. I didn't understand all of the rules but I knew we weren't blowing out the Giants the way we did the Raiders. After Scott Norwood's missed FG, it took me a couple of minutes to understand that we had lost, and he wouldn't get another kick. One of the replays actually made it look sort of like he made it. To this day, the only Super Bowl that has come close to this one is the Titans vs. the Rams.

I was in first grade this season and it was the first season in which I followed the whole season and could comprehend what was happening. This team was SO tough, battled every week. I can remember my dad letting me stay up to watch the Monday night game against the 49ers, I remember when Phil Simms got hurt because my father slipped on ice the same day and broke his wrist. I remember the playoff games against the 9ers and thinking that the FGs wouldn’t be enough to win, I remember Leonard Marshall destroying Joe Montana. Then this game... I remember the adults being optimistic because the giants got the ball at half, oj Anderson lowering his shoulder and of course mark Ingram’s catch and run... that was the moment I started to believe... I’ll never forget the pure joy of my dad and uncle when the bills missed the field goal. Truly a season to remember.

If you watch Norwood's approach to the final field goal attempt, he went two steps deeper than normal to get more on the kick. Like he was kicking off, not attempting a field goal. He's 10 feet behind the holder.

It was during that stretch that the Bills had oppourtunities to build on a 7 pt lead and maybe put the game away.

[@bernieudo4399]

Yeah no kidding. Really puzzling for an All Pro. Prob just the nerves. Maybe just not his day. This is why Rice & Taylor got to be considered one of the best (if not the best) pair who ever played. Rice was not 100% due to flu for SB v. Chargers. GOAT.

[@3t93]

43:55. They were up 9, not 7. 12-3. If Andre Reed catches that ball, the Bill’s blow them out. Would have been 1st down inside the 40, Giants defense gassed and completely playing on their heels. Bills on the verge of going up 19-3. Jeff Hostetler sitting on the bench with a concussion. Final score probably 34-14. Something like that. For a bonus, very next play Kelly misses a wide open throw for a sure first down. To say that it came down to one play seems ludicrous, but that would have destroyed the giants game plan and forced Jeff Hostetler to be a pocket passer. The Bills could and would have teed off on him, would have been a blowout. Play it out further, they win that game and then there is less pressure in the next three . Maybe got another one. All because of one drop. Hall of Fame slot receiver, should catch that 100 out of 100 times . Giants were primed to get blown out and the bills blew it. Hope they had fun in Ybor City!

[@sickofguysnamedtodd2293]

Nils did badly on third downs on both sides of the ball. On offense didn’t convert one until the last drive of the game. A few of those conversions earlier would’ve extended drives, given their tired battered defense a chance to rest and regroup, and possibly led to more points, which would’ve forced the giants out of their game plan in order to play catch up. Stopping the giants on third down would’ve killed those long clock eating drives and maybe taken at least seven points off the board.

One Buffalo Clearly aren't a bills fan. I'm 14 and even I know the Bills more likely than not, would have beaten the Cowboys the second time if Thomas didn't fumble. Twice, including one returned for a TD. The Bills had Dallas in their grips that game but let them go.

[@scottfarmer8758]

The Bills had their opportunities to put the game away. 1. They failed to score a TD after James Lofton's 61 yard reception. That gave them first and goal at the 8 yard line but were forced to settle for the game tying field goal. 2. Jeff Hostetler somehow hung onto the football despite Bruce Smith grabbing his wrist in the end zone. The Bills did get two points for a safety but a TD there might have put the game away. 3. On 3rd and 13 on the Giants first drive of the 2nd half Mark Ingram broke four tackles to get a first down. If they had stopped them there they would have had to kick a field goal instead of scoring the go ahead TD. 4. On 3rd and 1 at the 19 yard line with less than two minutes left Thurman Thomas took the hand off and gained 22 yards. It was the Bills only 3rd down conversion of the game. On the run Giants DB Everson Walls makes an incredible open field tackle. If Thurman breaks that tackle he would have been gone and would have scored the game winning TD. That would have spared Scott Norwood of a lifetime of ridicule. 5. But the thing that is most ridiculous that no one remembers is that when the Bills stopped the Giants on 3rd down with 2:29 left the Bills allowed 13 seconds to tick off the clock before calling a timeout. 13 seconds! If the Bills had those extra 13 seconds Jim Kelly could have ran another play and gotten Norwood closer.
