fake field goal

I hated the play and rolled my eyes in disgust before Graham was stopped. I thought jumping out to a 3 point lead was the correct thing to do.

We're too good to play trick 'em. Take the points and then score again, and again, and again.

Turns out we didn't need the points anyway but I don't like trick plays. Trick plays are what weak overmatched teams do.

Or what confident teams do.

I liked the call. Giants played it perfectly, credit them. But Sean Payton knows in what situation he NEEDS to put up points. They were going to torch the giants secondary all night anyway.
