Since 2004 minus the 2007 Super Bowl winning season, the New York football Giants under head coach Tom Coughlin have struggled during the second half of each season. Last week at New Meadowlands Stadium, the Giants controlled their own destiny. With a win against the Eagles, they would have the inside track to the NFC East title. However if the Giants loss they would have a tough time winning the division, but had a chance to make the playoffs as a wildcard team. New York pressured Michael Vick for 3.5 quarters and took a 31-10 lead with 8 minutes left to go in the game. Final score Eagles 38 Giants 31, you asked what happened ? Vick and the Philadelphia offense where able to make plays, the Philadelphia defense came up with some stops and finally Desean Jackson as time expired score on a game winning punt return touchdown. Nevertheless in Green Bay with a win, New York could secure a playoff spot and eliminate the Packers. Packers 45 Giants 14, now the Packers can clinch a playoff birth next week vs. Chicago. Green Bay now hold the head to head tie breaker vs. New York. Aaron Rodgers coming off a concusion where he missed 1.5 games, threw for over 400 yards at home. The Packers can enter the postseason with a Giants lost at Washington next week. Eli Manning threw 4 more interceptions to led to his league leading total. Last week people blamed punter Dodge, this week it may be Coughlin.
