I'd hardly call that a great team... nor would I claim the Giants are much better.
That Jags team didn't even win their own division, and it was a very weak division w/ exception of that years Steelers team who won the division.
Coughlin is know as a "tough coach" and has always run his players into the ground... maybe he's learned... but only time will tell.
He has them doing full contact pads practices late in the season and puts his players at risk.
I don't know if he still does it, but he used to have a rule that coaches couldn't wear sunglases on the sidelines, it was a sign of "weakness".
It's too early to say a team like the Giants are for real, but they have the potential. A lot of teams have potential and a lot of players are playing above their head... check back mid season... Can Tiki keep holding onto the ball? Cause if he starts dropping it again, Coughlin will bench him so fast his head will spin. can Warner stay healthy? and they don't exactly have an easy schedule...
I'm not saying they're not a good team, but I'm waiting a few more games to see how they shake out.
