You should be proud of them. They did REALLY solid work on the field in terms of playing hard every down. Particularly when you consider Cruz is out of the picture, and JPP missed some downs.
If anything, a lot of blame has to go to Coughlin imho. He coached that game badly. That one blitz they ran was beyond stupid and opened the 3rd down up incredibly easily. Going for the 4th down early also showed a bad confidence in their defense to actually do their jobs.
The fact that it was only a 10 point gap is all credit to Eli and his adapting to the openings, and their O line actually stepping up this week and protecting him. If Coughlin wasn't such a derp, they could have done a lot better. Coughlin compeltely blew it for them in Philly as well. I have to think his time as HC is marked, NYG deserve so much better, and someone more modern.
