I Just Don't Give a F*ck

When it comes to the G-men, I don't. Not in the way you think though. I don't care if they make the playoffs at 8-8. To me, making the playoffs is an acomplishment in itself. Look, this has been the toughest season that I have ever had to experience as a Giant fan. The expectations were so high on every level. The team was coming off of a division title, the quarterbakc was supposed to be entering his break-out year and the defense was hyped as having the best pass rush in the league. There was some skepticism concerning the difficulty of the schedule, especially early, but after starting 6-2 greater expectations dwarfed any concern. Since that time the Giants have gone 1-6, but they somehow still control their own destiny. I understand the tremendous frustration that Giant fans are feeling, but don't go crazy just yet. If the Giants win this week, then who cares what happened in the past two months? They would be in the playoffs, on the road, and playing a team that everyone would think they could win.

I have gone back and forth on this Giant season so many times. That is why I am not getting excited about the opportunity to win this week and be in the playoffs. At the same time though, if they get in, I will be energized. If they win a Wild Card game, I will consider this season as an improvement over last season. The playoffs are what matters, even if the regular season was as wierd, or pathetic as the Giants one was this year.

As for the GM, and potential coach vacancy, I would be calm. If the Giants get killed in Washing ton, and blow this chance I would strongly consider firng Coughlin. In addition, I would interview Scott Pioli, the current GM in New England. If the interview went well I would hire Pioli, and hope he can bring in Charlie Weis. My ideal situation still remains to make the playoffs, keep Coughlin and hire the GM from within. This team is definitely flawed, but it needed to be humbled. The coach, the QB, the wide-out/TE, the defense and the fans. There was too much talk. I honestly believe that this group would come back stronger next season. It is really pointless to write all of this though. Lets see what happens Saturday night and go from there.

Jets

Great win last night. The playoff picture is set up perfect for them. If they don't beat Oakland they don't deserve to be in. In the same respect though, I can say that about four different games the Giants lost this season. Just win the game and you will get the props you deserve.
