Coughlin kicking FG instead of going for it on 4th down

I know i'd personally rather have a team go 60+ and tight it then what potentially happen. I know Romo doesn't get the same respect a Rodgers or Brady does at the end of games but that was simply too much time to give Romo.

Eli should've never attempted a pass on that 3rd down that's what the killer was.

I don't put much blame on Eli. It's tough to make that split second decision with defensive lineman breathing down your neck. He shouldn't have been put in that situation. The blame goes on the play call. There is absolutely NO reason to call a pass play in that situation.

This, its very easy in hindsight to say he should have taken the sack but his instinct as a QB is throw it out of bounds and never take a sack,i dont blame him for that. this goes on coughlin, for the play call and also drilling in eli's head hey if its not there lay down!

the Giants offense was still in preseason, mentally. Snapping the ball way before :01, not running down the game clock and the 3rd down pass were all blunders on the same drive. We got lucky that they did what they did.

If this was reversed, and it was the Cowboys, Garrett and Romo making these choices....wonder what would be said.....
Wonder what is being said and reactions in NY are today......LOL....
