bye, atl, denver, dallas, philly……..

They did everything I was hoping for to control the clock..and then our defense melts down in the end..very very frustrating..I again call out the coaching decisions..I think it is increasingly getting down to them bending over and kissing their butts goodbye..problem is they can’t cover their butts.

I hope your guys get healthy over the bye week, and you’re able to get some wins and compete for a wildcard berth. If I were you, I’d be hoping Dallas beats Philly, as that would help you with your (admittedly slim) hopes for a division title.

Why we lost comes down to two things:

1. Horrible officiating. Sacks that didn’t happen, calls that didn’t exist, there were some awful calls out there that really moved the field.

2. Defensive play calling. Sheridan didn’t just drop the ball, he punted it away. 1st and 10 and he blitzes with everyone? Had we played conservatively on that final drive we could have won. Sheridan thinks he’s cerebral, but he’s not psyching anyone out. Calls like blitzing Boley and having Tuck cover Gates is what gave the Chargers this game.

Honestly, I feel so much better about the Giants after this game. We lost, but we didn’t get beat—if that makes any sense. However this was a poor showing by the coaches—not the players.

But losing to Coach Turner. Probably one of the worst coaches in the league

Honestly, when has the blitzer been the one to record the sack? Last time I can think of it, it was TT about a month ago again the Raiders.

Some our blitzes look horribly designed., particularly when they bring heat and drop a DE back into coverage. I am growing tired of seeing AP or Clark coming on a blitz and getting completely rubbed out of the play.

That having been said, with the exception of the last drive, the D played considerably better this week than during the previous three losses. Still, the soft underbelly that is the middle of defense is being exposed, but that is more a personnel issue and less a matter of scheme.

I’d focus on red-zone playcalling, too — but what happened to the first Tynes FG? I need to hear his explanation. He is a real weak link, just not clearly noticed because of all the other issues — Accorsi said he let Feely go because he missed those FGs against Seattle — but if Favre doesn’t throw the pic, then Tynes is the goat from the Green Bay game. I don’t trust him any more than a used car salesman.

You all need to change offensive & defensive coodinators and draft a new secondary this off season. After the loss to the Saints, you knew there was a blue-print out there for how to beat you. Okay, maybe you should get rid of your coach as well… but either way, you all need a new game plan and some solid players in the secondary. Any team with half-way decent QB has a shot to snatch games away from you almost at will. Your bad luck the last few weeks has been amazing… it’s like Steinbrenner sold YOUR souls for a Yankee championship…

Jeff Feagles…he wasn’t holding the ball correctly on the first field goal attempt…Tynes was trying to not kick through Feagles hands…that’s why it looked so out of sync

Then on his “directional punts” the only direction they seemed to head was right out of bounds. Punting the ball out of bounds 30 yards downfield and giving the Chargers field position that started on our side of the fifty three times is tough. One of those times, the defense came up big, but when you only have to go 45 yards for a TD, it’s tough to defend. We lost the battle of field position all game long and Feagles was the cause.

It seems that he has had these issues for a couple of weeks now as it started during the Cardinals game and hasn’t improved since. 20 years in the NFL and suddenly the wheels have fallen off…we may need to find someone else because the only touchdowns the Chargers scored were when he started them on our side of the field (except the last drive).

Penalties.

The bitzes that didn’t get there.

The “prevent offense” in the red zone.

Totally disheartening.

We got beat in the last drive. The Chargers didn’t even have a 3rd down on their last drive. They didn’t even have to call their last time-out. We were out-coached by Turner who forced the issue with his time-outs.

Plenty of blame to go around with this one. A full field worth of penalties. The only thing that worked consistently was the squib kick-offs.

You are not going to win a football game without all twenty two players on offense/defense playing 60 minutes of solid game..It ain’t going to happen..ever..Yeah Rouse looked much better than Brown..Boley seems like he can’t last a couple of series without getting hurt…Our team has a huge amount of talent (I think)..but they are being out coached and out played every week..Eli had a good day..AB and BJ had good days but they are not going to win a game on their own..The whole team needs to show up..I place full blame on the coaching.

At this point all I want to see is for Reese to get some new blood for the D and O coaching jobs. Also, starting looking at the college talent, Our Giants should have some fairly high draft picks

How the hell the Giants defense become such a horrible blitzing team ? After adding Umenyora , Boley , Canty , also after being one of the top blitzing team under Spagnola with basically the same team minus those guys..Can anyone explain ?Sheridan just doesn’t put those players in the right position to make plays.Every single time we blitz those blitzes get picked up that never happen under spagnola at least 3/4 of his blitzes always get to the quaterbacks ,our defense use to cause havoc now we are last in red zone defense .Sheridan have to go,he stinks.

Eli looked good.
D was better(until the end)
Plenty to complain about, though (all of it covered above.)
If you’re going to hang the loss on the coaches, TC is the biggest culprit.
Actually, if SD’s receivers hadn’t dropped so many easy balls, we could have been blown out.
If they can’t regroup and come out of the bye week strong, hope for reaching the playoffs is nil.

OHHHH MY GOD !!!!!!!!!!!!

about Plaxico right now. We were 10-1 and truly the best team in the league till he shot himself and the rest is history. We def were on our way to a 2nd world title!!!! Now look at what we have after todays critical loss. The window of oppurtunity may be closing here guys and real fast. Am i wrong to think this way?

The coaching for this team is beyond dreadful. Last week I thought the coordinators would have to go. Now it’s clear that Coughlin is the problem — old, befuddled, out of touch with today’s pro football, making choices that would have been clever two decades ago, but are stupid now. What we’re seeing here is a total meltdown of a formerly strong organization. This season is over. Time to rebuild.

Schedule does not get better but four straight wins off the bye week puts this in a different light.

Changes? Mostly on D.

Rouse is an improvement (I think) but Clark needs to sit. And AP needs protection. Remember when Matt Millen played MLB for the Raiders? Run? He was another DT. Trotter at Philly too. A good defensive coordinator can cover for a player’s weaknesses. But this should be AP’s last year. Goff better be up for it or a draft choice will need to be made.

Sheridan needs some help – he seems overmatched. The defensive players seem dazed and confused. Spags would not let that happen.

Changes? Start Nicks and Smith. Kehl over Clark. Either Thomas or Ross at safety. Get the best players on the field. Period. Athleticism and energy can make up for a lot.

Coughlin : We Play to Win the Game?
Spagnola : Give me Liberty or Give me Death !!!
Sheridan : Missed you Pow ; Where are you ?
Killdrive : I am the Man ; With me You Always Know What’s Coming !!!
Special team coach :Hey Giants Fans ; Give me a Break , You Know I Don’t have Tyree
                                         anymore!!!

How did Rouse do?

Yeah, there was some improvement on offense: clock management, play calling, better communication field. But the bottom line is we lost and are now 5-4 with some really tough games coming up, while defense only went from bad to poor. What is it with some people? After four losses in a row they’re still comparing this team to other teams, 07 team and repeating the mantras of ‘no need to panic’ and ‘lots of talent.’

Two weeks ago, I predicted 5 – 4, at the bye! Given the games remaining after the bye, the Giants will need luck to go 8 – 8! I watched the Chargers and Phillip Rivers take the ball with 2:00 minutes to play and march right down the field! No Pass Rush, No Pressure to speak of…as long as that continues, this team won’t win many more games. I’ve come to the realization that they just aren’t very good! San Diego is a “middle of the pack” caliber team and for them to come to the Meadowlands and win, means they played an inferior opponent, below “middle of the pack”. Other than Washington, I don’t see the Giants winning another game, this season!

Our season is deflated.

Giant fans! We have 4 losses right now. A win against Arizona and the Chargers was crucial with how our schedual is looking. We do not get a break really the rest of the way till we play Wash and the Panthers and by that time it will be too late. Giants are better off losing the rest of the way. We are playing for draft picks now like it or not!
