It could be a clean sweep.
It is not an easy decision to make a coaching change, understanding what Coughlin has meant to the franchise and his players.
“Our preparation must be as good as it’s been all year long”, Coughlin said.
“You’ve got your questions prepared for what direction I’m going in”, Coughlin said.
After the Giants final regular season game of the 2015-2016 National Football League season Tom Coughlin is expected to resign. He’s going to walk away. Now the NFL Odds for the game have the Giants favored at home to pick up the win.
After the Eagles took a one-point lead into the second half, the two teams exchanged touchdowns in the third. “I am hearing that from a lot of people”, Garafolo said. They will again miss the postseason for the fourth straight year and this one will be another losing campaign for a team that certainly needs changes.
Murray, who was Kelly’s first big free agent signing after he took over control of player personnel, was considered by many to be the worst of several questionable moves made by Kelly.
“I was proud of them”, added interim head coach Pat Shurmur of the Eagles’ effort. “It was tough for everyone this week, and I think it would have been even tougher to go into the offseason with a loss”.
Simply put, the Giants’ defense was the proper tonic for an ailing Eagles’ offense. Philadelphia recaptured the lead late in the third on a Manning fumble that was scooped up by former Giant Walter Thurmond and returned 83 yards for a touchdown.
Manning capitalized after Giants linebacker Jonathan Casillas’ interception when Manning found rookie tight end Will Tye for a 9-yard scoring pass to close the Eagles’ lead to 14-13. I would say everyone in this organization tried real hard to not talk about it. It’s amusing, it was kind of like subliminal messages, like, ‘We know who we’re playing this game for, and let’s finish.’ And we didn’t finish. “We will fight for him, continue to follow him, and there is no doubt in my mind that he is the man for this job”.

The first game under Pat Shurmur was successful in many ways and wobbly in others, all of which we will get too in later articles.
SHURMUR FUTURE: Like Coughlin, Shurmur doesn’t know what the future holds for him with his current team.
“I’ve always enjoyed running underneath”, Murray said.
The Eagles opened the game with their quick-strike offense. Zach Ertz was his favorite target, hauling in nine catches for 152 yards, including a career-long 60-yard reception.
For the season, Bradford finished with 3,725 passing yards. That’s very old considering the average age of coaches in the NFL. Meanwhile, the Eagles have the 29-ranked rush defense, yielding 129.7 yards a game. Plus, his 30 receptions over the final three games sets an Eagles record for the most catches over a three games span.
Right tackle Lane Johnson said Bradford was finally able to show how well he can play. That now falls to third-place Giants….
