NFL-Giants: NY Giants football news

Giants win = credibility

Before the Giants Browns game, Neil Best wrote that containing Jeff Garcia would give Tim Lewis some credibiltiy. The Giants did win and the defense looked good against Jeff Garcia and his receivers. Of course without Suggs, Tucker, and Winslow the Giants defense had to make the Browns look bad in order to look good themselves. Strahan had to have a big day against the Browns backups and he did. Gibril Wilson wasn't a huge liability starting for Shaun Williams. Garcia and the Browns receivers did get things going in the second half but it was too little too late.

It was also interesting to thear the announcers talking about Tom Coughlin during the game. It's harder to attack a coach with a winning record and the announcers sounded like they were in Coughlin's corner so to speak. As Mike Vacarro wrote before the game, the fans think Coughlin is just what New York needs. I think so. I want a coach who holds players accountable and makes them work hard. There's nothing worse than watching a team that looks like it isn't trying to win. Today Coughlin's Giants looked and played like they wanted to win. Since they had more talent than the injured Browns they did win.
