What do they do?

Come out like they're going to hard count and then punt if the Eagles don't jump, then Eli steps back into shotgun, they pass it and Cruz takes it down to about the Eagles' 5 yard line.

Coughlin is a defensive minded guy and has won two Super Bowls. Food for thought.

(Then Eli throws a pick to start the 4th, but the point remains, lol.)

Giants also:

Have won x2 Super Bowls, allowing for a little more freedom if that play doesn't work.

Have a dominant defensive line that Coughlin believes in, in case that doesn't work.

Has two-three above-average to very good wide receivers that can be a nightmare for almost any defensive backfield in the NFL.

Have one of the best offensive lines in the NFL.

There is a reason that they won the Super Bowl last year. They're a fuging good team.

And they make decisions that most teams don't have the guts to.

Coughlin was always an offensive coach before he became a head coach. Receivers, QB, and OC.

My fault then, but regardless, his teams weren't renowned for their offenses. I was only 12 when he became the coach of the Jaguars, so I wasn't aware of his background.

These Giants teams he's coached have always been known for their defenses as well up until the last year or so. The point is still valid.

Completely different situation. Giants were down. They were also past midfield.

Panthers were up. We were just about on midfield IIRC. Falcons only needed 3 points to win.

Not saying we shouldn't have gone for it. I guess we underestimated our defenses suckiness. But I doubt Coughlin goes for it if he was in Rivera's shoes. Situations really aren't comparable.

Do you remember the Jags of the late 90s with Brunell? They were not shabby.

Yeah, with Jimmy Smith, McCardell, and Stewart/Taylor at RB.

Good teams.

I knew he came from the Parcells coaching tree though, and his teams always seemed on the conservative side strategy-wise, so I always assumed he was defensively oriented.

You learn something new everyday, lol.

      Canes in six what years?    I'll be shocked if they win one game not to get swept lol if you think that I urge you to go watch the press conference that's a team that's mentally beaten and has no answers.

      Disagree that CB is a massive need.

      This sentiment is really starting to bother me. Because, you are right. We do have one of the most well run organizations in the league. And, a lot of fans seem to think that Rod is that entire organization. This line of thinking completely discredits all of the hard work that GMs, scouts and players have put in to make the team what it has become. Not to mention the impact that the ownership change has had on the team. You will never hear me singing the praises of a billionaire. But, the fact is, we went from a cap floor team to a cap ceiling team under TD. Have we dramatically improved from the dark old days since Rod took over? Absolutely. But, he wasn't the only one contributing to that rise. And if he leaves, the house of cards isn't going to magically crumble. At this point, we've seen enough players leave and flourish (or come here and wither) to know that isn't true. The organization isn't one man. But, one man is responsible for setting lineups, line combos, d pairings and drawing up set plays. And, to me, that is what lost us these 2 games in embarrassing fashion. I don't believe that Florida is just some unbeatable juggernaut running roughshot over the league. Last I checked they didn't go 82-0. If you believe this is a personnel issue, by all means, bame the players, the scouts and the GMs. Blame everybody but RBA. If there was one player or position group to blame, I would tend to agree with you. When an entire team collapses, it's not on the players. It's on the leadership and they are the ones who should be held accountable.
