New England Patriots (15-0) at New York Giants (10-5)
8:00, NFL Network, CBS, FOX
Tom Coughlin knows this doesn’t matter much for the Giants, though I am sure like everyone else he wants to prevent history from happening against his team. However, next week’s playoff game could decide Coughlin’s future as the coach of the New York [...]

Welcome back after a little holiday break away from blogging.
We last left off with the G-Men needing a W to get into the playoffs, all made possible by their rout of the Bills in last week’s 21-0 fourth quarter.

Sunday was bad. Really bad. But in almost four season with Tom Coughlin at the helm of the Giants, it doesn’t compare to some other losses.
5. 2007 Week 12 - Minnesota 41, Giants 17
Obviously the most recent of the losses, Eli was picked four times, three of which were run back for touchdowns. The Giants [...]

The day after a tough defeat is the hardest. The day after losing a game that might cost you a playoff spot is even harder.
The Giants are in trouble. With the Saints pulling off a win yesterday there is no guarantee in the NFC Wild Card race unless the Giants win one of the last [...]

The Giants had to win to clinch a playoff berth and they failed to do so, and now they have some serious work cut out for them.
Eli Manning was 18 of 52 for 184 yards and a TD, but his 34 incompletitions were the most since Joe Namath. Eli did not have much help if [...]

Here we are with the opening kickoff about to take place after a week of hype for this game. 27-13 Giants is still my prediction. A win and they’re in.
UPDATE, 8:29 PM
The Giants went away from the running game on the opening drive and tried for the big play on 3rd and 10. Eli [...]
