I realize that you weren't completely serious about firing Coughlin but I agree it was a terrible mistake.  (By the way they were in the lead for a wildcard spot.. not way they catch the Eagles, even with Peyton at QB.)  You have a team that could do some damage in the playoffs because right now it looks like a 8-8 team could get in the NFC but Coughlin hit the panic button after a couple of losses and basically sold out the rest of the season.  

Although some might argue that when Strahan and Hamilton(?) went down, that the season was lost anyway... but the point is moot because Eli was thrown in before that happened.  Well, as an eagles fan, I'm glad the giants stink.

...if someone told me at the beginning of the season that the Giants would be in plyoff contention this late in the season, i would declare them insane. The Giants have certinely put on a show this season and now i can finally call them a fraud.

DO i think they will make the playoffs, no. They might not even win one more game the length of the season. Should Coughlin get fired, its harde to say at this point. He definitley helped the team, but with all the mistakes hes made, firing him should at least be considered.

Good article BTW.
