Not a Surprising Loss to the Eagles, 23-20.

I thought I would be upset about posting today, but what I'm about to say is what I've said all season long, so it's not that difficult. The New York Giants played an inept game today. Like the rest of the season, a game that they should have won. The Giants definitely had some chances early in the game after they scored their first touchdown and jumped out to an early 7-0 lead. The Giants had great field position three times in the 1st quarter when they had the ball on or around the 50 yard line and each time, they couldn't even get a first down. That's pretty much the 2006 Giants in a nutshell; not being able to capitalize on good opportunities.

It's definitely disheartening, but it definitely was the same as it has been all season for the G-Men. They have the talent, but when it counts they can't produce. The team definitely had a chance to win the game as Eli brought the team back for a late score in the 4th quarter. It proved to be for naught though as the defense yet again gave up chunks of yardage to the Eagles offense allowing Eagles kicker David Akers to kick a easy 38 FG to win the game for the Eagles.

It's upsetting, but hopefully this is what leads to the firing of Tom Coughlin and the rest of the Giants coaching staff. Needless to say, it was a really disappointing season for the Giants after they finished the regular season with a 8-8 record. It definitely is going to be a tumultous offseason with a new GM set to come in as well definite changes on the player and coaching side of things.

It's not the end of the world, but it's still upsetting.
