Another situation where the Giants shoot themselves in the foot by passing on a play that calls for a run.

I'm actually ok with this, you don't play for the tie, I have no problem trying to get the first down.

Just retire him now.Terrible calls in the 4th quarter.from the go for it at the 2 to a sidelines no chance with 3rd and 2 in it.That's what 3 times this year a ten point lead the ball under 10 minutes to and you lose.That's bad coaching.And take Jerry Reese with him.As a long time Giants fan this is the first time I can remember when I have no interest in even watching them play anymore this year.Just Go.

Kind of like a horse who moves to the lead at the 1/8th pole, only to get nailed in the final strides.
This is something to remember for next year, when the futures come out. Whatever their record ends up being, they are probably a bit better than what it reflects.

The problem is that if you gamble and lose, it's a 48 yarder. You could also get the first down on a run because the D isn't expecting it.
The way they are going this season, they just seem destined to fail by missing a pass on 3rd down.

Interesting thing about this thread is that it's almost 5 years old.
Yet Coughlin is still here.

The only thing it proves is Giants brass doesn't read off topic sports at PA

I agree and if he doesn't make the playoffs, I hope the Giants give him the opportunity to
retire first. Two Super Bowl wins should count for something.

Eli Manning fans aren't going to like this, but its reality.
If we could time travel back to the 2004 draft, anyone with a brain would now take Ben Roethlisberger over Eli. And I believe those 2 Giants teams that won Super Bowls could've won with Philip Rivers at QB as well.

In those 5 years, he won a Super Bowl. He has won two Super Bowls. If he is fired, the new coach in all likelihood will not have even won one or even been in one as head coach. The fact that Coughlin has won two super bowls with QB like Eli Manning has to be one the greatest accomplishments in the history of the NFL. There have been coaches who won one super bowls with mediocre QBs, but no one has won two.

Who was the Offensive Coordinator with both Super Bowl wins?

Joe Gibbs won three SuperBowls with three different QBs, and two of them were average:
Doug Williams and Mark Rypien....Eli is better than both of those guys.
