Feelin’ Kinda Sunday
No Game Today Means No Pressure – For Now
The Giants can’t ruin this sunny Sunday for their fans.
They’re off!
I know, that’s no consolation for having ruined everyone’s Thanksgiving.
I, like many, are trying to stay optimistic but that is becoming a more and more arduous task with each passing week. With five games to go, the Giants basically must win-out in order to assure themselves a trip to the playoffs.
But even then – do they really belong in the playoffs this year?
My answer is no.
Unless they change just about everything they’ve been doing, they will probably lose at least three more games this season.
The odds of them completely changing their defensive philosophy, re-igniting their running game and eliminating their red zone ineptness at this stage of the season seems impossible.
Tom Coughlin and his staff, many veterans, hot dog vendors and parking attendants will be on the hot seat from this day forward.
Don’t give me injuries as an excuse for a down season, either. New Orleans, Minnesota, Indianapolis, New England – you name them – they’ve all had injuries, too.
It’s a combination of poor coaching and planning along with a lax atmosphere that has led to the Giants’ fall from the top of the standings.
If they win the next four or five games and make the playoffs this year, then I’ll be proven wrong. Won’t be the first time.
But I feel confident this bunch is done.
Happy Sunday. Enjoy the games.
