I know you are a Giants fan which is why I'm going to forgive your ability to comprehend what I said.


Yes, the Giants did underperformed in 2007 when they won the Super Bowl. In fact, it was by the skin of their teeth they made it in, and Coughlin was on the hot seat and was all but fired had they not made it to the playoffs. They had a better road record than they did at home.

If your coach is about to get fired, THAT is huge sign of under performing. They had the talent to have had the best record in the NFC the past few years, yet come stumbling into the playoffs with a 9-7 record or miss the playoffs in other years.

I understood what you said but what you said makes no sense.First you and "some" others keep harping on Coughlin getting fired that might have been true in 07 Mara says no but it was the media pushing it this time around Coughlin was'nt close to losing his job,if some of you go back a few pages and threads (years) you will see that I admit I did'nt like Coughlin when he came to the Giants but he has won over the players and myself,and I have said ...somewhere in here that I thought this year was his best coaching job yet...and that was before the playoffs started.
You say the Giants unders performed ...how, I mean what is it you think we should have done,Greenbay , New England ,The Saints ,the 49's,all have had their problems but all great teams records you harp on records yet it has been proven again and again that once you are in the playoffs your regular season record means crap!What some of the stats firstdown is throwing out there means is just how hard it is to win the Super bowl...hell just get to it.You need to be healthy,you need to have talent,you need good coaching,....you also need team chemistry and yes some luck also but it all has to hit at the right time .Did the Patriots under perform this year,or were they lucky to get past the Ravens?
