Fire Coughlin

Epic meltdown today. First, he wasn't ready for an onside kick. Then, you punt out of bounds, period.

Dodge was told to punt out of bounds. Replace Dodge immediately. Pathetic outcome.

He has been terrible all year.

The long touchdown is unacceptable after taking a 31-10 lead. Not being ready for an onside kick is unacceptable. Blitzing and getting burned for three series in a row is unacceptable. Not punting out of bounds is unacceptable. If the coach told him to do it and he didn't, what does that say about the coach?

The Giants were alerted to the onside kick possibility. Akers executed a perfect onside kick. Akers is exceptional at onsides kicks. A tremendous play for the Eagles.

The Giants defense was tired and Vick got hot at the right time for Philly. But any other kicker gets the team into overtime. If they lose in OT, so be it. But at least regroup and play the OT.

The season is not lost but the Giants must play Green Bay next week for the last wildcard slot. After this emotional loss, Coughlin will earn is worth by getting the team to pull themselves together and win in Green Bay. If not all will be lost.

After last weeks circus which ended in Detroit, the Giants were well prepared and had the game well in hand.

I'll be impressed by Coughlin, if the team is ready next week. Let's not forget that Coughlin rallied the Giants to a Super Bowl 3 years back.

Let's go Giants.

The giants defense is held together by bailing wire and duct tape. Its lack of talent got exposed today. The giants have good offensive line and bunch of at best average players everywhere else. Coughlin should be coach of the year for winning 9 games with this bunch.

sometimes we adjust ourselves to a program of video games.

and nothing else.

you dont kick a football to an exact Spot, never.

you dont prepare for an onsides kick, just Because it's more likely.

footballs bounce funny.

and it is soooo funny to think about putting a coach under attack, while having an 8/5 record, that is really funny.

Now now now , you might be pissed, you might have lost, i understand that part...

While Dodge is certainly largely to blame for not punting out of bounds, the snap was bad and he had to leap to catch it; he may have felt a bit rushed to get the punt off. When you take into account the cluelessness on the onsides kick, the special teams coach should be taking some heat.

Still, I would be surprised if Coughlin is back next season.

I don't play video games. I guarantee you, however, at 44 years old, I could catch a high snap and kick it out of bounds. Nobody cared if the punt went 25, or even 15 yards. Kick it OUT OF BOUNDS.

Yes, I'm a Giants fan. The fact is their record is pretty fraudulent. They have not beaten a team I'd consider better than mediocre outside of maybe the Bears all year, and they lost the QB that game.

Yesterday was a total collapse. You don't take a 21 point lead and then give up a 65 yard touchdown down the middle of the field with 7 minutes left. There is no excuse for that. And, that was only the first of many blunders.

I am fifty,and I guarantee the high snap would sail over my head and I would get trampled to the ground like a piece of meat on the Chisum trail

and the same thing would have happen last year............

Did you see Coughlin's face at the NFC Championship game at Green Bay a couple years ago? He was NOT handling the cold well at all. I thought he was going to "stroke out" that day.....and they won that game.
