The media always pointed to his three "one and done" playoff appearances as a reason for his dismissal but I've always found that to be a bit ridiculous. The 2005 one sucked because the team didn't show up in the game, but still it was only his second season so it was a nice building block. They were a Wild Card in 2006 and got beaten by a better Eagles team.
The only one that bothered me was getting the #1 seed in 2008 only to be promptly knocked out by the Eagles. Even without Burress, I felt like the Giants had enough talent to get back to the Super Bowl for the 2nd straight year. I remember they played an awesome game against the Steelers that year and I felt like that was going to wind up being the Super Bowl 43 matchup.
