The Eagles are concerned about issues pertaining to the Eagles. A 6-10 team shouldn’t be bitching about missing the playoffs.
I'm not concerned with anything that anybody on ESPN has to say, but... I don't think it's just Giants players complaining about it. I fully accept that the Giants aren't good enough to be a playoff team. Even just yesterday they tried to give the game away after they'd already won it...
But that doesn't mean that last night wasn't a pathetic disaster that everyone should be ashamed of, because there's not really any other way to describe it. You can rest players and get other guy's reps, you can set up your roster to not have the strongest lineup, but to see a coach actively make decisions to lose on purpose in the 4th quarter of a close game is something that I don't think I've ever witnessed before.
The league isn't gonna take any action or anything, and we will all just move on, but it was despicable and pathetic on every single level imaginable. Yes, the Giants only have themselves to blame, and yes the league should have known better than to put that game (or either NFC East matchup) in primetime, but that that also doesn't excuse the disgrace of Doug Pedersen's coaching yesterday.
On another note; I didn't realize that Tom Rocks worked for Newsday now. No wonder he doesn't post here as often.
