coughlin claiming somewhat of a moral victory left me uneasy. "oh we lost, but it's ok" is the attitude we don't need going into the playoffs. the team played well, but it's nothing to be satisfied about considering they had the lead and flipped it at a crucial time when they most needed to secure it. coughlin (along with eli) needs to go.
I disagree. This game was meaningless and they could have laid down, but they lost an extremely close game to one of the best offense's I've probablyever seen, you can't be too upset, they put up a fight.
eli had four touchdown passes (and was 22-32 for 250 something yards) -- two to plaxico, one to jacobs and one to boss, but stats can be deceiving. he faltered in the third and fourth qrtrs. his stumbling antics and quick third and outs near the end of the third qtr. and turnover to ellis hobbs in the fourth quarter are what gave the patriots the perfect opp. to come back (aside from the pats always coming back to win in the fourth).
I'm not a Manning fan by any means, but:
Manning: 4tds 1int...118 qb rating.
He played his**%$ off last night, so you picked the wrong day to put any blame on his side. The Patriots D stepped up and ran over a worn down O-Line near theend of the 3rd/start of the 4th quarters. The blitz pressure made him under/over throw some passes, one of which was an INT.
They just happened to play one of the greatest teams in the history of the league, you can't really be upset at all at the outcome. Win or lose, you seehow well this Giants D CAN play, and let's just hope they find a way to beat Jeff Garcia for a change.
