yeah it would have been a nice time to squeeze in a play action pass to boss. That holding call killed it.

I cant wait to hear WTF happened on that botched FG.

on another note the D looked better with Canty, boley in and CC out. Hopefully Boley didnt reinjur himself.

if they would have passed the ball once would 5 seconds have made a difference. if they got it in the enzone it was a giant win

the giants need to learn to go for it on fourth down no matter what.

2 huge fourth down situations decided this game, the first drive and the last drive.

4th and inches in the red zone, you go for it.

4th and goal when you’re up by 3… you go for it.

i knew as soon as tynes remembered to and did kick that ball to put the giants up by 6, it was going to end in disappointment.

lets just hope they can find a way to get hot at the end of the season, like the eagles last year and the giants in 2007.

Caughlin isn’t the problem. It was a calculated decission to eat up the clock and rely on your D to hold SD. The problem was the playcalling on the defensive side on the last drive, the D was getting beat everytime the over persued by the screen and short pass, why on earth you would put the whole damn team minus the safeties on the line is beyond me. And the play earlier that had tuck drop into coverage was rediculous. Can’t blame caughlin for any of that.

The up side is the team looked good. Manninham got his hands back and Jacobs is running better. If tunes remembered to kick that field goal we would have walked away with a W

They should fire the head coach, what a gutless pussy! He’s the one who lost the game.

Gilbride was trying to run the clock down and force SD to use their time outs. The real problem was the defensive playcalling on the last drive. Sheridan had Everyone on the line in the middle of the field. Terrible call.

Gilbride was a bit more creative but forgot how effective play action passes are. I chalk this loss off to crap playcalling and a missed FG

kevin gillbride sucks instead of taking a shot in the enzone he runs the ball and settles for the field goal. if you get the touchdown it puts us up by 10 points kills any real chance of losing if you dont get it your in no worse field position. stupid calls they need a new coordnator if they lose this game its his fault
