Missing Playoffs Would Allow Giants To Rebuild

Submitted by smitty, Dec 20, 2007 09:37

D Ward in the backfield shows what a back with some speed can do...if he could have stayed healthy, I'm sure we would have seen both him and Jacobs close to or over 1000 yards each. OC is a priority as is a QB that can carry out an improved game plan. Every game where Eli has been expected to step up, he fails miserably..and continually gets outplayed by no names and in most cases, backups to backups. Is this his fault or can the blame be shared by the OC not putting him in the best situations to succeed?

We have a bright DC and good D Line talent...Specials have improved..especially the returns.

I was unsure about Coughlin until last week..when he sat back and watched a QB who has trouble in perfect conditions , throwing deep on 3rd and 1 and 3rd and 2. I've never seen a team panic like the Gints do when they get down by 10+ points.

The NFC is full of junk teams...the elite have the top QB's and OC who utilize the talent the best. We are wasting what we do have and adding a few more key pieces could really make a difference.
