Mara just said Coughlin is staying. But who knows in 2 or 3 months. I would like a new OC. Gilbride has gotten better. But I feel something is missing.
Might be the only time i really ever scene him happy.
That's his pose when he's pissed and has his hands on his hips.
My dad and I were talking during the game and we said the same thing; we think the only time we've seen him smile was the Super Bowl.

Overall this was a very disappointing season. In my opinion, they achieved 10 wins on pure individual talent alone. As a team, they never had it together. They never seemed to play inspired football with a sense of purpose. There hasn't been a true cohesive leader since Strahan left.
Obviously the interceptions, fumbles and WR injuries were the biggest problem but I also happen to think these particular players had very poor seasons and the areas should be addressed in the off-season:
Michael Boley -- never made big plays. Except for the knockout hit on Romo, you never heard his name. Kenny Phillips -- expected big things out of him. An unbelievable amount of big plays over the middle. Especially the past 4 games. Never heard his name making plays much either. OC Coordinator Gilbride -- play calling is always so conservative and bland. Never any big play attempts. Kevin Boss -- quietly had a lot of dropped passes. Is too often banged up. Was very surprised and disappointed in him this year. Don't have faith he is a true #1 TE. All Special Teams -- the special teams coach should be fired immediately. The ST have been horrible for years now. Obviously its a huge part of the game and can cost you games as we saw. Finally --- If I saw one more defensive play (usually on 3rd down) where Tuck or another D-Lineman dropped back into pass coverage I was going to go crazy. Makes zero sense. A DT was covering Fred Davis yesterday when he scored. A DT!!!!
Many former Giants -- Carson, Strahan, Simms, etc --- were quoted throughout the season saying the team played with little or no pride. Team needs to regain an attitude in the now very long off-season

I never really understand NYG first round draft picks since Reese has come on board. But I do trust him and I know Price is a sick athlete. I would prefer Jacobs or Bradshaw vs. Ingram. I was kinda hoping for the OT Costanzo but overall I'm pleased. Now I'm begging for ... LB's, OL & TE!!

I'm reading a lot of comments by people saying he didn't deserve jail time. Um, YES HE DID! He broke several gun laws, all of which require jail time so yes, he did get what he deserved. His stupidity caught up to him. If you people knew what the law says about guns then you would understand why he served time.
My response:
So I guess it was OK for Donte Stallworth to drive drunk, with his blood-alcohol level at 0.12, driving 50 in a 40 zone, and hitting and killing a person with his car. He was sentenced to 30 days, which he only served 24. I guess killing a person while driving drunk isn't worse than shooting your self by accident in public.

Can't compare the two, i love that new York has such strict gun laws, plac was an idiot and got what he deserved. That said, I want him back on the giants.
Stallworth didn't get what he deserved but you can't compare the two.
I love plax but dude deserved every minute of the sentence he got, can't carry guns in new York and that's a great thing
"But yeah, I hate the Eagles, and you can put that in print. They're the one single thing that has kept us out of the playoffs the last two years. They knocked us out of the playoffs in my rookie year, when we were defending champs. We keep coming close, but we haven't been able to beat them, and it bothers us a lot."

Eli Manning said the Giants would accept Plaxico before Tiki.
:thumbup: I'd think so also, especially after what Tiki said about them after he retired.

and a 7 - 9 team made it... :?
something is wrong here...
I wanted Coughlin to be fired after this season's meltdown, but realising that we were 10 - 6 does justify his staying.
On a side note... Giants = 10 wins, Devils = 10 wins

well there's no come back to that. still think some people don't realize pro football had championships before they were called "super bowls" though.
i just love this rivalry. mccoy's stupid for starting that nonsense but the back and forth is kind of funny.
