I don't think the Giants disgraced themselves today. The offensive line screwed them over with penalties, but it mainly just came down to a lack of weapons and the fact that they're simply not at the same level as Dallas this year. They were already facing a really uphill battle without Cruz, but Jennings has been missing severely as Williams seems to only rip out a good run one out of every eight carries. Plus the defense is just so banged up with DRC, Beason, Jenkins, etc.

All told, I think they've shown they're a middle of the road team. Their next few games could get very ugly but after that I think they can handle the Jags, Titans, Washington, and Rams. Hell I wouldn't be surprised if they sneak out a win in one of the remaining Dallas/Philly games just because. But 7 or 8 wins isn't going to get you anywhere when Dallas and Philly both seem primed for at double digit wins and the Wild Card will probably require double digit wins as well.

Sadly 2015 won't be a season for the Giants to rally around Coughlin being on the hot seat, because I don't see him sticking around. This isn't really his fault, but 3 straight years of no playoffs is probably going to do him in. The only question is whether or not he is fired or if he simply "retires" like Kevin Gilbride.
