New York Giants News And Notes: Picking Up The Pieces Edition

Coughlin said the Giants could not match the intensity of the Eagles. That’s basically it….and it ain’t wrong.

Funny though, I interpreted Canty as calling out Fewell a little bit.

keep his mouth shut. Last I saw he was standing on the sidelines on Sunday night and NOT in the trenches. Coughlin is 100 % right. Coaches coach and player should just shutup and play. It was an embarrassment and the players did not execute and let the Beagles push them around. Each player should be docked their game check for this one. In a huge game with all that was on the line, once again, this team didn’t even bother to show up……….time for change!!!!

i dont like the remarks by Boley…it just doesnt seem like something a player let alone a Vet should say !!! Canty has always been straight forward with his assestments and remarks..I agree the team is everybody players & coaches and all should be accountable..PF did not adjust to the max protect scheme,and he didnt use players that were doing well CANTY & JOSEPH….had they one of them stayed on the field during passing downs i’m convinced we wld have had more pressure …its just easier to block a de playing dt then it is to block a DT playing DT…its all hindsight now .. cant wait for Monday Night

If MV faced that pass rush Sunday, he’d have two less concussions and no broken ribs, plus a winning record. It was a disgrace! I never saw a replacement QB more relaxed than VY.

but there’s something about his teams that just do not respond in games they should win handily. The truly great coaches do not lose these ones (not at the clip that Coughlin’s teams do). Their bad nights are not this bad. This is second-teir team stuff – winning some games impressively, but never reaching the top level because they do not take care of business in the winnable games.

When we wins there is a large bandwagon.

He is strictly an above average coach. B or B+. No more .

That’s the Giants mood, and rightly so after getting their butts kicked by the Eagles. They need to circle the wagons and focus on team unity and executing assignments for the Saints game. I think whether they manage to do that wil be a test of this coaching staff.

but it’s true. Everything’s gotta click for TC’s teams to win. And the emotional letdowns and lack of apparent motivation – that’s coaching, my friends.

But Coe separated his should is done for the season.
Are we just not caring now cause Prince is back or something?

This team is predicated on a trenches-out mentality. It starts with the D-Line getting pressure and the O-line pushin’em back.

I thought overall the D did a great job yesterday. They gave up ONE real TD drive. The other TD is on the special teams … 5 yards, c’mon. And I don’t remember if the FG is on the offense (blocked it out) but regardless, that’s 7 or 10 points against our defense… a fine outcome regardless of the fine points.

I do agree that the three-man prevent rush is infuriating. If you give a team 20 seconds in the pocket, they’re GOING to complete a pass.

It’s entirely on the offensive line. They’re the reason the Giants rushed for 3 yards, they’re the reason Eli could not get his passes off. We’ve been saying for a while this O-line is the weak point. They finally got really exposed. You can bet Sean PAyton was taking notes!

Anyway, it’s on to next week, no time to feel bad. We’re sorta tied for first and we’ve gotta take care of business against the Cowgirls. In the meantime, the future is bright. Sure, we miss some guys. Injuries are always … well, to paraphrase Coughlin, it seems this team has had like 8 bouts with cancer in the last 9 years! But whatevs. The future is bright. We’ve gotta bolster the O-line. We already knew that.

From the players and the coaches. It seems that this is just a begining of a firestorm, especially if we start losing. IMO TC’s comments were NEEDED, truth of the matter is his ass is on the line as well! Comments from players about other players, coaches and fans don’t mean sh4t if you are not out there playing your ass off! Truthfully, the Giants lack fire in the second half of the season. Don’t you all agree! It is only been happening for the past 3 seasons. If this will get something started then, oh well. I’m praying that we can pull it together for the remaining games. We CAN beat every team remaining, we are that talented and well coached to do so!
We knew that coming into the season that our Oline would be a work in progress, you don’t get rid of two veteran guys who have been the lynch pins and NOT miss them. While the Oline did get their asses whipped on Sunday, it is part of their growing pains. The crappy part of it, was that it happened against Philly.Hopefully, this will not happen again!

This year the Giants have no running game, lets just face it! Our success will rely on Eli, who is having a monster year. If the running game shows in these last games then that will be icing on the cake. Hopefully, we can do some running to keep opposing D’s legit. That was the first game that I saw Eli take some hard shots, and i’m not even talking about after the interception. Have to do a better job a protection. Coaches have to figure out some way to max protect the QB, if the line can’t do it.

With free agency the way it has become I am expecting to see big names opt to leave this team to go play for a “fun” coach. That’s why people want to play for Ryan, Rex, Morris, and now we’ll see people dying to get into SF’s locker room. These young guys who didn’t ride with Coughlin into Glendale (and a few that did) are going to start jumping ship as soon as possible.

So, lets look…Phillips, Nicks, JPP, and then Prince. Those are the first rounders since the Super Bowl. Why wouldn’t those guys want to find another place to play? They all have a lot of football ahead of them and I just don’t see anyone begging to stay on the Giants and become a long term part of the annual collapse. Take Nicks, specifically, has he ever experienced success here? Sure they win games but his first season was 2009 – yikes. Then 2010 started out strongly and then they fizzled. There is a good chance that this year could go the same route.

So, ask yourself, if you are Nicks then would you really want to stay here? Why would you want to? If you aren’t winning and TC is considered “unlikable” then why not go somewhere that you would like your head coach? I mean you already aren’t winning anything so why stay?

Is the season over if we lose to the Saints? and if we do what’s next coaching staff and all..

too busy this week before the holiday to do much blog stuff.

Shitty game, shitty OL. Glad to see TC shakling things up. But I don’t think he can make those guys any younger, and the season is wearing them down, it seems.

I was hoping their collective OL experience would help them get better as the season progresses, but the opposite is happening. They not staying fresh in a game where they’re already losing some speed and strength, and the league isn’t forgiving that.

They won’t be as bad every week as they were this week, but they’re just not good enough.

I don’t exactly blame JR for not anticipating the rapid rate of decline for McKenzie and Snee, but he and the rest of us knew this was a risk. They wanted to buy time to rebuild the line gradually over a couple of seasons, and I don’t think that is working or is going to work.

That performance this week was outright humiliating for them.

You can’t make these statements after your team shit the bed. TC is in effect making a statement that will put the limelight on him, not the Team. He can only do this once. If the Team does not respond, TC is out of a job because he will never recover the locker room. Boley just put TC’s crosshairs right on him….

Here are some remarks by defensive tackle Chris Canty regarding the lack of pressure. Read them and see if you interpret them the same way I do — as a very well-couched suggestion that defensive coordinator Perry Fewell did not adjust to the max protection schemes being used by Philadelphia

Fewell didn’t.

The players played atrocious on both sides of the ball(offense moreso imo) but both the coaching staff and the players need to take the blame here. They all came out there and half assed their jobs, and they should be embarrassed.

Ho hum, another collapse.

Ouch!!!……………. Boley’s comments are out of frustration but he should not have said it.

Whats funny is Perry allows these guys to be highly interactive into the game plan so why not say hell naw perry, that aint gonna work while they are in the meeting rooms and maybe it wouldnt get so bad on the field at times. Dont okay the game plan then after the game say you knew it wasnt going to work.

The game plan was awesome from Perry IMO but not without flaw of course but if the OFFENSE scores when they are supposed to, Philly wouldnt have been able to max protect if they were down a few scores. After that we could have released the hounds but the offense hung that defense out to dry and then the defense collapsed at the worst time which Perry should be blamed for.

Blaming him for his scheme which worked all damn game until the end isnt fair, he deserves criticism for sure even anger towards him but lets not take the light off that offensive line, they lost this game for us.

The NYG are known for defense so i get why everything falls on them but damn how can people let that inept offensive line off the hook and come down on our D?……. If the Packers or New England had the same defense we had on sunday night they would cancel the rest of the season and hand over the trophy…… but every offensive series we have ends with a 3 and out except for in the 4th quarter, that is not on the defense IMHO.

At the end of last season I said coach Coughlin needed to be replaced, Gilbride needs to go and Jacobs needed to be traded…..an I’m sticking to my story. Jacobs suck… this guy has not played his money’s worth. He runs too upright with no power. He’s big and slow. He talks 2 much and has nothing 2 show 4 it. He talks about wanting the ball more. Dude you got the ball 12 times, you gotta do better than 21 yds. Thats not even 2 yds a carry. He needs to go. McKenzie can’t block a blind person and Diehl just sucks. The defense has its ups and downs but they have trouble stopping the run. Fewell do not have them playing to their potential.but at the same time, you can hardly blame the defense when they gift wrap three turnovers and your offense don’t convert off of them. Their losses are puzzling to me because they have beaten better teams. I just think management needs a shake-up. Someone younger who can fire them up get them to play like the games actually mean something. Then bring in a running back who can actually run and don’t go down with an arm tackle.
