I know I wanted to go on a blogging hiatus and I’m going to…just don’t get me started on Notre Dame and Charlie Weis. But I seriously might consider going after Tom Coughlin. And all of New York media including the God awful Mike and Mike (stop sucking off the Jets and the Eagles). How does every prominent newspaper go after a defense that caused 2 interceptions and a fumble? They stepped up this week and gave up 14 points in 58 minutes of play. It was Tom Coughlin’s decision to go from a 1st and 5 to a 2nd and 2 on the botched field goal drive.
That’s the key of the game. Right there. The Giants drew a penalty and Coughlin elected to decline the penalty and take the yardage they gained (+3 yards) rather than the penalty (+5 yards and stll 1st down). He was basically saying that my team can’t go 3 yards in 1 play. Well, he was right. Because they ran the ball twice and was stuffed by the San Diego defense twice to make it 4th down and then an abortion of an attempt for a field goal occurred. Not an aborted attempt. Lawrence Tynes shat babies on the field. It was pathetic. It was a bad snap but Feagles got it down and Tynes elected to not kick the fucking ball.

So now it’s Chargers ball going the other way. When if they take that penalty, they run on first down and can open the playbook from there. Instead, they limited themselves to all of their run plays and San Diego stacked the box with 8 fellas.

Not to mention after Terrell Thomas returns an interception (a DEFENSIVE play, for all you New York writers who have lost touch with the game) to the Chargers 4 yard line. Then of course, one of the Giants 9 penalties (a sign of a poorly coached program) for 105 yards occurred. Tom Coughlin’s fucking SON IN LAW got a holding penalty and brings them back. With 2:36 left on the clock, Coughlin decides to run the ball twice and throw a conservative pass. NO SHOT AT THE ENDZONE?!? Right now, the Chargers had 2 timeouts, so I understand it. But why wouldn’t you tell Eli (the highest paid QB in the league…whom you don’t trust enough to NOT turn the ball over) if there is nothing available, eat the sack? That would give you the opportunity to burn the timeouts if there is nothing wide open. Or how about a screen pass to Hakeem Nicks which probably has gained them at least 10 yards a play? What about a dump pass to Boss who has held everything that was every thrown at him when he has been getting helmet to helmet collisions? HOW ABOUT ANYTHING IN THE FUCKING WORLD BUT JACOBS UP THE MIDDLE?!?

Brandon Jacobs has been averaging less than 4 yards a carry. 3.9 yards still is a first down every 4 attempts and therefor doesn’t consist of a bad average but I would suggest going with a play that averages a little more than 3.9 yards an attempt. Plus, he was already stuffed on that first drive that I was talking about. He’s running timid. Like he got his bell rung. I don’t understand. He hits the hole and dances around. He used to just blow through it and break arm tackles. Now he gets “tripped up” by his “shoe strings”, something I thought I’d never hear from a 6′4”, 270 pounder that runs lightning fast. He hasn’t even surpassed 100 yards a game this season. Ugh.

You have a QB worth $106 million and you can’t even trust him enough to not throw an interception in the endzone to the leading WR in the country? Or how about a big play threat like Mario Manningham or Hakeem Nicks? What about a physical anomaly like Ramses Barden? Or a guy who has held onto balls through 2 helmet to helmet collisions like Kevin Boss? I’m just saying, Tom Coughlin, if Plaxico Burress was there you would’ve thrown him a fade… If Shockey was there you would have thrown something his way… You have the fucking weapons, use them. And learn how to manage a game of when my billion dollar a year comes through (Mark Cuban, call me I need an investor), I’m going to buy the Giants and make myself the coach.
