Tom Coughlin annoyed over non-call on Romo-Hurd TD

[Doomsday101]

We started the game with 3 major injuries and then added another during

1. Terry Glenn
2. Greg Ellis
3. Terrence Newman
4. Jason Ferguson

Their injuries didnt happen until after the game was started

1. Jacobs
2. Umenyiora
3. Manning

I guess with all of our injuries heading into the game I forgot to cry about the Giants injuries. :laugh2: I kept thinking that as Madden and Michaels continued to bring up the Giant injuries and how big a win it would be if they were able to overcome these injuries.

I kept thinking about how different the game would have been with Bledsoe behind center. Romo's elusiveness I think really disheartens defenses.

Elusiveness but more importantly his quick decisions and quick release.

Also, if Bledsoe were still under center we would all be in here the day after the game debating and arguing about why our offensive line was so bad.

Elusiveness but more importantly his quick decisions and quick release.

AND.... AND.... his knack for throwing on 3rd downs and getting 1st downs

"They've got an illegal procedure which is very obvious but is not called," Coughlin said yesterday. "It would've been interesting. It would've been third-and-12. What happens there? You're going to have to punt the ball if you don't convert. And then what happens?"

You LOSE!!
Good day, sir.

Leave the poor guy alone. No one likes him, he's about to lose his job because there is no one else to blame, and his team will sell him out in an instant. The way I see it he's entitled.

I am annoyed over all the non holding calls on Giants O-linemen playing Ware and Spencer.

 

[cowboys19]

why is he complaining about the non-call. He should be worried that an undrafted QB, and an undrafted WR burned the Giants Defense, for the game clinching TD.

LOL

The "Undrafted" Closers :laugh1:

Tom Coughlin is a joke and always has been. I don't know how he keeps his job.

That being said......I bet he gets canned or resigns before the end of this season.

 

[Hoofbite]

while it sucks that it wasn't called, it was as far from the action of the play as possible and had no effect on the play. It gave no help to anyone and those sort of things happen. I thought I saw a thing or two that should have been called and they weren't. Sucks when it happens to you but thats how it is.

 

[DonnyA22]

Coughlin doesn't deserve to whine about this. Maybe he should get mad at his DC and not the officials, the officials didn't give up 45 points.

Anyway, maybe he was quick to forget the lucky break he got against us in '05 when Aaron Glenn was flagged for interference on a Keith Davis interception that might have allowed us to come back but it was clearly shown on replay that it was Plax who interfered with Glenn.

Blown calls are a part of the game. Some weeks it works for you and some weeks it doesn't. Him and the Giants fans need to deal with it and stop making excuses for their crybaby filled team.

 

[RomoIsBack]

Mat McBriar puts on inside the ten, maybe five. Then three and out with Lardy McFatarse at QB?

tom must of 4got eli was out

 

[deepBLUE]

we get our fair share of bad calls (ref. last season)........coughlin didnt mind the ones in his favor...........

I hadn't thought of it in exactly those terms but ... "You are correct Sir!"

 

[FCBarca]

I know what I said.

And we're not discussing whether it should have been called. A monkey can see that it should have been called. Every penalty should be called.

What we're discussing is whether anyone should give a damn that it wasn't called. It was pure technicality that had no impact on the play.

Cowboys bias? That's laughable. How about Tony Romo having completed 6 of his 8 passes on 3rd down (excluding the play in question which puts it at 7 of 9). How about the Cowboys having scored on 6 of 8 of their drives up to that point? How about Lorenzen going 3 and out on his only drive?

What on earth makes you think that (1) the Giants would have been able to move the ball 80+ yards for a touchdown, and (2) the Cowboys wouldn't have scored when they received the ball back.

Cowboys bias. Please, keep your mouth shut if you're going to say stupid **** like that.

Again, faulty logic...Lacing it with profanities, merely repeating yourself or predicating your argument on statistics that have nothing to do with the what did and did not occur is futile...3rd down and long at that juncture in the game and it could've been a different game...Romo could've made a great play and maybe he wouldn't have...Could've gotten an INT, etc...A lot of things could've happened...But that WAS a crucial juncture in the game being up only a FG...Build your argument on facts not inane banter

 

[FCBarca]

I like the RED and BLUE that your avatar guy is wearing.

Henry 'Henke' Larsson during Championship season for the red and blue of FC Barcelona...I like it too

Of course a lot of things could have happened. My point was what would have probably happened, which is why the statistics were relevant.

The rest of your post is worthless gibberish.

 

[FCBarca]

Not really. Calling yourself "objective" and "unbiased" when your post isn't.

All I see is excuses given for the Giants play and how we dodged a bullet. You mention how many injuries the Giants had, but what about all the injuries to the 'Boys?

You're talking about suppositions where Giants could have come back if the penalty was called.

What about suppositions where it didn't matter for the Cowboys if the penalty was still called. What if the 'Boys still called the same play and converted on 3rd and 12 instead of 3rd and 7?

Like I said. You sound like a Giants fan because you're giving every possible excuse for them while not allowing the same type of logic to be applied to the 'Boys.

If I'm a Cowboy fan and I confirm that a missed penalty call is a penalty call somehow that constitutes bias?...Ugghhh, yeah, sounds like great logic to me.

If the Cowboys got into 3rd and long, yeah, maybe they don't make that connection on the Hurd play...maybe they do...The point is, that penalty would've prevented the TD and given the Giant defense another shot at stopping Romo & Co...A scenario that AT LEAST was better than a TD that resulted...How is that supposition or anything but fact?...Come on, get with the program people...It is what it is.

I see things for what they are, regardless of who it benefits...I see a missed penalty and I think A) We got lucky that it wasn't called and B) Realize that NY were a bit hosed on that call...If it had been the reverse (Stay with me now), I'd still feel the same way about it...And I'm guessin the rest of you myopic 'fans' would as well...THAT, as they say demonstrates who maintains bias and who is actually seeing things for what they are.

 

[FCBarca]

Actually, I never once addressed the previous poster's assertions about your team affiliation. I was addressing your comment about our country's current problems and, in the process, extoling the virtue of being fair and judicious.

How anyone's comments here can be interpretted as "you're either with me or against me" is utterly baffling.

Frankly, it's ironic that you would castigate others for a lack of openmindedness when you're being extremely reactionary.

When you can't even point out a lucky break for 'our' team and not be considered a 'traitor' then yeah, there's closed mindedness on the forum...When others attempt to pile on and imply that this kind of logic is something to be celebrated rather than admonished (i.e. country's current problems, i.e. Bush) then the only baffling element to all of this is to somehow defend it.

well the guy has put together a VERY good offense. Eli has been coming along, he turned tikis career around and has seen players like Shockey and Burress progress. He has put together one of the best olines in football over the last several years.

The guy can flat out coach offense and if hes fired i expect hell be out of a job for a VERY short time if he continues to coach. Now he has a bunch of malcontents and loudmouths on his team but he is a VERY good coach.
