Is Coughlin the third HC we take out?

Highly doubt it even if the Packers win.

Super bowl winning coach? Thats kinda rough.

No disrespect RatPack, but for the life of me, I don't know how it is but fans seem to be taking this game lightly.

I sure hope the team isn't, or the season is done.

I think for one thing, it's going to be tough to run on these guys and they could have a pretty good running attack themselves, so I doubt the drubbing would be enough to get TC fired.

I'm not taking it lightly

That's my feeling, too. He pulled maybe the biggest upset in Superbowl history less than four years ago, while winning every playoff game that postseason on the road. If a coach for the Packers did that, I think we as fans and the Packer media would give him a lot more leeway than he seems to be getting in NY.

I love it when people insinuate that a fan is taking a game lightly... like it matters.

This Packer team better be ready though. The Giants have a good power running game supplemented by a decent passing attack if Eli gets hot.... and that Giant defensive front is gonna get in Arod's grill.

Very tough game coming up.

+1.

Both lines need to play extremely well to win.

Having #12 back is encouraging as well.

Only because our dumb ass QB threw to the most closely covered guy on the field!!

It wouldn't be New York if the fans weren't demanding that some coach of some New York sports team be fired immediately. That's a big part of what makes them New Yorkers. This month, it's apparently Coughlin's turn.

We're no different. They blew a critical game horribly, and a section of their fan base calls for his head. Anyone else read this board after a GB loss like that? There are just a lot more of them, so the pants-poopers' mating call generates more noise.

Unless you are preparing a lightly h-whipped, buttery, and perhpas Heath-bar-laced frosting for this cake, ain't no way I'm showing up.

Need motivation to focus seriously on this game?:

Colledge. Held his block nicely.

Thanks Pakerboi. Hadn't seen this in a few months and now I'm po'd again about the stupid decision to throw to DD. Look at the out route on the left (not sure which receiver it is). The safety has his back turned running away. In fact, any of the three receivers you have circled would have led to a gain to midfield if not beyond.

Too bad MarShawn Lynch wasn't playing for us.

I'm pretty sure he would have been wide open on this play.....

That photo still makes my blood boil.

Dump off to the house!

Anyway, Coughlin in no way deserves to be fired but he is a personality that may have worn out his welcome. Doesn't help that Mr. Cowher put the Giants on his wish list.

Which, by the way, I think is pretty lame to name teams with existing head coaches and two of them, not too bad (TC and Tony Soprano).

That photo shows the one quality of Favre that's annoying as hell, he doesn't read the defense he decides before the snap where he's going with the ball.

At the very beginning of his career (with Sharpe) and towards the end, yes.

In his prime, he could improvise with the best of them. Ask Kevin Greene.

If that was '95 or '96 he conceivably checks down to Grant and he's still running.

Coughlin wont get fired if they lose.

What if they blew another 21 point lead with 7 minutes left?

I was just gonna say - the most unusual thing about this picture is that Colledge is the only offensive lineman with a clean contain on his man. That was probably what shocked Favre so much he didn't know where to throw the ball.

I was thinking something similar, 'Hawk. Over the last few years it has looked like when Coughlin was on the hot seat, they would manage to win just enough--or enough of the right games--for him to be retained. And to his credit, he has built a solid team on both sides of the ball that is competitive year after year.
Now that a clamor has started over last week's game, a loss in either of their last 2 games could turn the heat back on, especially if they miss the playoffs.
It wouldn't necessarily have to be a drubbing; a last-minute loss could have the same (or greater!) affect.

And I'll echo all comments about this game being a very tough matchup. I'm very worried about their pass rush vs our under-performing OL; who knows if our rushing attack will show up, and I remember what Eli did to us in the NFCC game a few years back.

"Insinuate"? Who "insinuated" it? I came right out and said it. And not just a single fan. I was talking about an entire fan base.

Fans get their mindset from the media, which infiltrate sports organizations top to bottom, in print, on television, on the radio and on the internet. Many of the reporters directly interviewing and talking to the players on a daily basis are also fans. The players are not sequestered. You really think that when everyone, I mean everyone, thought the Patriots had an "easy" 15 point spread against the Packers at home last week, that it had no affect on the Patriots? They came out thinking they had an easy one, and proceeded to get completely outplayed and almost lost. The Packers, on the other hand, played with a huge chip on their shoulder.

Now where do you suppose that chip came from? Where did those players get their mindset?

That's right, from popular sentiment.

Damn straight the players know and care what people think. It is basic human nature to do so, and if you don't think it's true, I'd venture to say you're not paying attention.

Anyway, it seems we agree that wherever they get their info, the Packers better be ready for a tough game against the Giants. If they go into it thinking they'll blow them out, they'll get their asses kicked.

2007 title game. No double coverage on Burress who destroyed Al. Too bad the Col couldn't figure out how to roll a safety.

After last weeks epic collapse more media non-support; In the New York Daily News, Ralph Vacchiano writes about coach Tom Coughlin. Coughlin is well respected, but many feel the game this Sunday could decide whether he returns next season.

1 play, 1 ****in' play and he locked in early. Bad decision, bad throw.

For all his abilities, Favre was never ever the smartest QB. Smart as in playing smart and disciplined and fundamentally sound.

Sad part is that the OT throw in Philly was just as dumb of blunder. He had the underneath throw and tossed it towards Walker stupidly.

You can only expect so much from a guy for $10MIL a year.

Dumb plays at critical moments of playoff games is part of TOG's legacy.

Ryan Grant still has a few buddies on the NYG's and shared these comments in the JSO

" Grant is back working out and expects to be full go by February.

As for the overtime defeat in the NFC Championship Game three years ago, Grant said he has had ample time to break it down with several of his former Giants teammates. He carried 13 times for 29 yards.

"They felt like Brett (Favre) couldn't play in the cold so they said, 'Stop Ryan,' " said Grant. "They worked us up front. We couldn't get anything going."

Had some Giants fans here for the game: they were pissy come the 4th quarter and the consensus was BYE BYE, but more because of the Eagles game than what the Pack was doing

"We have a 10-and-6 season. A 10-win season in the NFL, and they can kiss my ass. They can line up and kiss my ass," Coughlin said in a video that aired Wednesday night on Showtime's "Inside the NFL."

A player then asked, "Can we quote you on that coach?"

The 64-year-old coach laughed, then said, "I have a lot more to say. The priest is here or I'd say a few more things."

I've always teetered on him, but I've just become a Tom Coughlin fan.

Nice work. You win a Super Bowl and you never have anything to apologize for.

I don't know about that CB. I mean Ray Lewis should probaly apologize for stabbing that guy, allegedly.
