demps and webster definitely didn't look great and certainly had their blunders but the reason we lost was b/c the offense couldn't put together a solid drive to keep the defense off the field.

no way you go for it after eli has shown that he can't hit the broad side of a barn. if we punt and still lose, people hang coughlin for failing to try the FG there. hindsight is 20/20. if feely does his job and hits that kick, things are a lot different. coughlin has to rely on his players to be able to do their job... and with a kicker as good as feely (say what you will about feely but he's still one of the best in the league), i can't blame TC for calling his number.

i'll agree with you about the run game. this is the 2nd week in a row tiki has looked good early and the offensive coaching staff has insisted on throwing the ball. i think that falls more on hufnagle and gilbride than coughlin. even at times where tiki wasn't being effective, why wasn't there any jacobs to change the pace? where were some plays for shockey (although it's questionable whether eli would have gotten the ball to him)? just poor offensive planning and execution.

once again, the NY media is out to get coughlin. this game came down to much more than one missed FG. the offense could not stay on the field to sustain a long drive. eli was erratic. corey webster was off traipsing through the daisy fields. jeremy shockey was stuck in play calling limbo. feely has the leg to make a 52 yarder. you have to have faith in your kicker to do a better job than that. that being said, i don't think we should get rid of feely.

i mean what are these players, little kids? if a play is important enough to be practiced every week, you shouldn't have to be reminded about it. all you gotta do is look up and see hester waiting in the back of the end zone. i watched the play unfold... giants players started slowing up as soon as hester faked the kneel. they failed to do their job. how is this coughlin's fault??

you are correct. although, by the end of it, the defense was so gassed that the bears could get good yardage from any hole in the defensive line. offensively nobody but tiki deserves any recognition. a few guys on the offensive line did well, but when the bears got aggressive the o-line had a tough time holding down the fort. i guess that's to be expected. i agree w/ the prior assessment of gibril. the guy is a gamer. if only will demps played that hard. also, another consistent effort from AP.

put out an ABP. calling all cars.

feely said in his post-game press conference that they practice the short FG cover every week.

that field goal would have brought us w/in one and would have helped in the momentum swing. the decision to go for the field goal was tough, but i can't put TC on the hook for this one. feely can't make that field goal short. the special teams players have to play to the whistle and watch for the run back. it's not ridiculously extreme to expect feely to get a better kick on a 52 yarder. coughlin certainly isn't innocent, but yesterday's loss was more a failure to execute than anything else.

move diehl to LT and plug in seubert at guard

according to eisen, moss is still questionable. he's not gonna play on sunday.

hip flexor... he just ain't ready yet

now is not the time to change the kick returner

if anyone watched the mini-press session with sinorice moss on the podcast today, he himself says he will NOT play this week... bummer... when asked when he may return, he didn't have a definitive answer. said he was just trying to get back into the swing of things.
