I know that Green Bay is in the books,<\/p>\n
that we have to move on, but this blog is a cheap psychotherapist to all of us Giants crazies who live and die Big Blue. Without this blog the past two games, I might have otherwise needed sedatives. Honestly and seriously, at least I was not alone in the suffering. At least I had a reality check here, that we all were seeing it straight, that the Coughlin ship was stripped naked. All it took was visiting a couple of other places to realize that there is a lot of noise out there. People are still talking about how the Giants can win a 10th game, and ‘how can you possibly fire Coughlin if <\/em>he wins 10 games?’ !!! As if winning 10 games means success. This is the kind of thinking that is quite honestly one step above neanderthal. <\/p>\n Here is a list of the records of the teams the Giants have beaten this season: That is a total of 54-81.<\/p>\n Here is a list of the records of the teams the Giants have lost to this season: That is a total of 50-41.<\/p>\n So someone please explain why, if we can beat a 6-9 team, that that makes this season acceptable? The Giants have beaten exactly ONE playoff team all season. CHI. They have lost to what will probably be FOUR playoff teams. PHL (2), GB, IND. In a mediocre league, the Giants are less than mediocre in the end. <\/p>\n But the explanation runs so much deeper. It is not just losing. It is how you lose. NO ONE HERE ON THIS BLOG WOULD BE CALLING FOR COUGHLIN’S HEAD IF:<\/p>\n 1) IN WEEK 15, THE GIANTS HAD THRASHED THE EAGLES 31-10. After an entire season of mistakes, the last 68 minutes of football merely provided the resounding corroboration on whether the Giants coaching staff could or could not manage for success.<\/p>\n
8-7, 5-10, 6-9, 5-10, 11-4, 6-9, 5-10, 2-13, 6-9.<\/p>\n
9-6, 6-9, 10-5, 10-5, 5-10, 9-6.<\/p>\n
2) IN WEEK 15, THE GIANTS HAD PLAYED A GREAT 60 MINS, BUT HAD GOTTEN BEATEN IN A TIGHT GAME.
