  • Great ending to the Packers/Giants game, and this is especially true since Tynes would have been as unjustified a goat as Norwood. The first miss is a very difficult kick under these circumstances, and Coughlin’s bush league behavior after the miss may have been overcompensating for a strategic blunder in not playing for 4 downs there. The last-second miss he had no chance on; that was just a busted snap. Anyway, this is yet another lesson in the silliness of dividing players between “clutch” and “non-clutch.”
  • I was also happy because of the egregious home cooking down the stretch, and not just the phantom holding call. Aikman’s discussion of the missed offside call on the KGB sack was the most impenetrable reasoning in American discourse since Bush v. Gore was issued.
  • I’m also reminded that I’ve never understood why people think that the coin toss before overtime is so unfair; the thing is, it’s a disadvantage that can be overcome by, you know, making a stop, or for that matter by winning in regulation. Certainly, the NFL system is vastly better than the ridiculous quasi-football they play in college overtimes.
  • As has been noted once or twice, Norv Turner is inept, and as everyone has pointed out punting from NE territory in the 4th quarter should be a firing offense. And then there’s Rivers. Alas, like last week I was listening on the radio while working, but according to Trumpy (and confirmed by a couple commenters) Rivers couldn’t put weight on his foot and hence couldn’t throw properly; what he was doing in the game I have no idea. A team that puts in that kind of effort against a historic offense deserves a better shot to win.
