Damn, Dallas wins, Eagles win, Giants lose and Cruz is done for the season...My heart can't take this

Giants losing was my lock of the week pick, they're just not a good team this year, but I was really sad to see Cruz go down like that. Some of the blame goes to Coughlin imho, that 4th and 6 call to go for it instead of just tacking 3 on the boards to get something going.

4th and 2? Maybe, but 4th and 6 to goal? That was beyond stupid, it showed a lack of faith in your squad to stand em up and come back for more points. JUST GET THE 3 and move forward.

Condolences :(

Yeah that play call was just stupid and now it looks even worse now becuase they didnt get the points and Cruz gets hurt. I have no idea why Coughlin thought they would get a 4th and 6 when they were incapable of even getting a first down for most of the game. Take the three points and give your team some hope moving foward that they could come back.

I hate when teams go for it on 4th down unless its the 4th qarter and you need to. Most of the time the risk is not worth the reward.
