Got enough money for Willingham? [g]
I'm so disgusted that I'm actually going to root for the Jets.
As upset as I am about yesterday, I just couldn't do that. Herm Edwards must never be cheered for. Respected? yes. Cheered for no. After Traitor signed with the evil ones, I couldn't even think of it.
I'm sorry (and I'm not piling on here) but I think this loss goes entirely on Fassel's shoulders. He consistently squanders leads by going conservative. They Giants recievers were shredding the niners all day, and then the Giants O went home.
The inability of the Giants to put together a drive beyond 3 and out in the 2nd half(after thet last scoring drive) killed them. The D was working against a no huddle and couldn't get a breather. The play calling was there. Mixing in runs(which you have to) with the effective passing game is how you keep drives chewing up the clock. The 49ers stopped it or the Giants didn't execute. Let's talk about our pass rush.....where the hell did that go?
If there was anyone better out there that was available, I'd can Fassel. He can't win the big one.
I was extremely critical of Fassel for some play calls this year(the out with less than a minute in AZ, some clock management stuff etc) but I thought he did a very good job Sunday.
I think Fassel has done a good job with the group he has. I expected an 8-8 or 9-7 season this year...at best.
We have a young line, offensive weapons, and a good defense. We will be back next year.
Not quite a vent but I like to keep it civil on this board ;-)
Amen! And that is a first for me!

You have a point. The Jets did not let up on the Colts, which is what you have to do now with the 2pt conversion rule which can turn a game around very quickly

In fairness to Fassel, you cannot win without a kicking game.
Had the kicker made that first field goal, the Giants would be on the way to Tampa.
