You could question the play calling/execution on 2nd and 3rd down but the FG on 4th was absolutely the right thing to do.Folks, I had to post this. Giants were 1st and goal with 2 min. left and decided to kick a FG against Brady. Wow....
Had they run the ball 3 times and run time off the clock they likely would have won. It was poor coaching and poor time management.
Ohh..you are a Pats fan..2 to 3 runs win the game..OP completely clueless
Thank you sir..The Giants had it first and goal with just over 2:00 to go. Patriots had one time out. Giants should have run it on first to get it down to the 2:00 warning. Then ran it again on second down with to force the Patiots to use their last timeout. Giants should have ran it again on third and they could have got the clock down to less than a minute after they kicked the field goal on fourth down. Instead, the Giants kept trying to pass for a TD and had two incompletions which stopped the clock for the Patriots. The Patroits got the ball back with 1:47 left and kicked a 54 yard field goal with one second left to win the game. Tom Coughlin got out coached plain and simple. Really sad. On a brighter note...Stork started the game but they had him at right tackle instead of center. He got beat a number of times at the new position. They need to put him back at center where he belongs.
I'm actually a giants fan. Your post makes it sound like they didn't try to score a td which isn't accurateOhh..you are a Pats fan..2 to 3 runs win the game..

Poor coaching by Giants... New England always have home games and weak schedules.. I was surprised this game was in the Meadowlands..
Home games and weak schedules? Do you think the NFL operates like the NCAA? It's not like New England can bring in McNeese State for its opener.
I'll try to discern what passes as English for you though.
Yes, New England always has home games. In fact, the NFL schedules eight home games a year for them. The NFL does that for all the teams.
As far as weak schedules goes, I assume you mean "road games". Whatever you do, don't look at their most recent season as an example.
You see, last year there were four teams in the NFL Conference Championships: New England, Green Bay, Indianapolis, and Seattle.
Ultimately, New England defeated Seattle in the Super Bowl, which didn't count as a HOME game, by the way. The other two teams, Green Bay and Indianapolis, were defeated in the regular season by New England. New England was the visiting, or road, team in both games.

I probably meant..with the runs, at least Giant's FG would have been kicked under under 1 minute. A TD would have been great..I'm actually a giants fan. Your post makes it sound like they didn't try to score a td which isn't accurate
Way to break it down for the young whippersnapper, lol.Home games and weak schedules? Do you think the NFL operates like the NCAA? It's not like New England can bring in McNeese State for its opener.
