Re: What made the difference?
Refs tried, but couldn't make the game for the giants. Want to see what the NFL has to say about the TD that wasn't a TD. Or the helmet to helmet call on Reed that was shoulder to helmet. Flacco had plenty of time and the receivers caught most of his passes. Defense stopping the great eli and getting pressure on eli. Gotta admit eli was let down by his receivers and still completed some awesome passes as he was either being tackled or chased.

YES! And how about the use of the middle of the field, crossing routes by Torrey and Ray ended up in TDs.
A great down the seem pass inside the numbers to Boldin and the double move by Torrey for that long catch when he outmanuevered Webster down to the one.
Yanda being back was huge and Ellerbe, too.
Yes, props to Caldwell.

GOTA-
I think your points are all well made. To add, I think the D showed some interesting creativity and "stoutness". Next man up...

Re: What made the difference?
This. The pass plays were quicker. He attacked the edge early with the run: the very first run play was Rice off the left tackle. He forced the defense to defend the whole field, and gave Flacco options to get rid of the ball quickly.
Instead of Flacco taking 5 and 7 step drops and the O-line not being able to hold off the rush long enough for the receivers to work themselves open downfield, he was taking 3 and 5 step drops with shorter patterns early. That let him and the O get into rhythm, and it helped the O-line because they didn't have to poss-pro so long.
This was more of what the Coryell is supposed to look like than Cameron was trying to do. They ran the ball, and threw for first downs when they had to. They didn't try to force the big play. The big plays will come: sooner or later the defense is going to try and cheat up and take away the shorter stuff.
