We have no game changers on either side of the ball. <br /><br />This is the fault of the GM and not the coaching staff.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6389921495587729314.post-87214412787497466182009-12-21T13:12:30.007-05:002009-12-21T13:12:30.007-05:00This roster had enough players to be considered a ...This roster had enough players to be considered a playoff team. Although, the secondary was banged up from Day 1 this team with proper coaching should have been able to piece it together. The players are at fault but I think the players lost faith in their coaching staff. There has been a disconnect with Sheridan since Osi left training camp for a day. the schemes have been horrendous with the Giants mainly leaving the middle of the field fopen or every tight end & receiver in the league to have All-Pro stats weekly. They do not tackle well, and even more alarming do not rush the passer. The big question mark going in was how would the young WR's fare? That turned out to be the best part of the offense. Go figure. After 13 games we still have not had a back rush for 100 yards or do we try to get our Tight End more involved in the offense. <br /><br />So Ernie, in your honest opinion do you feel Coughlin deserves to be fired if they miss out on the playoffs? I'm sure Sheridan will be let go, but I think TC does not deserve to pick another coordinator. He lucked out with Spags, but his choices of Tim Lewis, John Huffnagel, Kevin Gilbride & Sheridan have been sub par.Mitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02151576898703507305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6389921495587729314.post-32878230525171186292009-12-21T12:00:24.317-05:002009-12-21T12:00:24.317-05:00redskins, playing well right now

But i agree - they will most likely be one and done if they get in. At this point, i just want to see them finish strong, win or lose.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15441341177570102832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6389921495587729314.post-8258345935366529082009-12-21T10:20:04.571-05:002009-12-21T10:20:04.571-05:00This team is so not playoff ready or worthy.

Coupled with the injuries and the mental errors, the best scenario would be to focus on next year and not try to get a one and done playoff appearance.Improvianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14745856875628340658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6389921495587729314.post-50854130250803272212009-12-21T06:45:41.725-05:002009-12-21T06:45:41.725-05:00...plus they are playing on Monday Night Football,......plus they are playing on Monday Night Football, in front of the whole football-watching nation.

I don't know if the Eagles or Dallas are true caliber playoff teams...none have played with any true consistency or domincance this season but they are better than the Giants. So much for the once dominant NFC East. I hope, like the above comment, that the Gint's can pull their defense together but while my heart says "yes they can", my brain is saying "not this year".<br /><br />If they don't make it, some changes need to be made starting with a new approach to the defense. But I look forward to our receivers really improving next year, for they look awfully exciting...barring injuries off course. <br /><br />But anything can happen so I really hope the Giants make it!1138swnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6389921495587729314.post-21743857480425041882009-12-20T21:00:38.894-05:002009-12-20T21:00:38.894-05:00The Eagles, as much as I hate to say it, are a pla...The Eagles, as much as I hate to say it, are a playoff calibre team. They proved that this year in spades.<br /><br />The Giants.....not so much. However, the story's not over. If this bandaid of a defense can hold over the final games of the season we have a chance. How likely is that....not very, but hey it's all we got. Too bad we couldn't play the Cowboys every week!<br /><br />Chris B.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
