Giants Folly
The New York Giants have been a disgrace to the New York sports scene in 2006.
After today’s debacle against the Saints it should be clear that this team is in need of a major overhaul.
We begin at the top:
Though the Mara ownership has consistently been behind Tom Coughlin the past few years, it seems that in their interviews to replace departing Ernie Accorsi, potential GM candidates have been demanding free reign to have their own coach installed next year.
If this is refused then the Giants would be better served by having the Mara ownership sell the team.
Of course, Tom Coughlin and his staff should be let go at the end of the season. The lack of discipline by the players during game performances, proper play calling by the coaching staff, development of Eli Manning and the lack of emotional integrity on and off the field is enough to make any Giants fan puke.
It seems that Eli Manning will never be more than an average quarterback at best, though proper coaching by a different crew may change that.
Players who can’t buy into the program and who are constant complainers or malcontents may have to go. Specifically on the agenda are Shockey, Burress and Strahan.
Of course, the Giants will need a replacement for the departing Tiki Barber. Jacobs is not the man. He may not even be a quality third down back.
Even if the Giants win next week and somehow make the playoffs, none of these observations will be altered.
One thing we can almost surely count on. If they do make the playoffs, their brief appearance in this year’s post season will make last year’s meeting against Carolina look like a pleasant memory.

This post is contradictary. Is the coaching at fault or players who refuse to "buy into the program."
I think it's more the latter. Coughlin may be thr wrong coach for this team, but he's not a bad coach.
It's both the players and the coaching staff.
But Coughlin lost this team long ago with his asinine game plans.
Watching these games from week to week you could see he's lost it. He's not the same coach as he was on Jacksonville.
The players' moaning and groaning is their own fault.
If they have so much talent as they always profess let them show it on the field.
They do not and have not for a long time.
