Coughlin and Manning Preview Monday Night Game with Saints

New York Giants Head Coach Tom Coughlin
Conference Call with New Orleans Media
Wednesday, November 23, 2011

How concerned are you that the team might be in the midst of another second half collapse?

That is not my concern. My concern is one game at a time. It’s interesting that after a couple of seven point losses we are going to talk about that. It’s difficult for me to understand why there’s nothing more prevalent to talk about than that. I do understand where you’re coming from. My team and our team are interested in concentrating on one game at a time. We have a very difficult game this weekend. We’re coming off a very difficult loss and I look forward to us regrouping and coming down to New Orleans and playing well.

I know you like to take it one game at a time but the bigger perspective people are talking about is that you have Green Bay and Dallas following this. Obviously this is a critical stretch. The Saints have emphasized November and done well in November. I assume you’ve marked it on your calendar here. Is there anything you’ve done to emphasize that and what you’ve done to maybe fight struggles?

We haven’t done anything different. We’ve basically done things the same. Before we even start, we evaluate everything we do. I evaluated everything on the basis of no CBA. I think we have an excellent working schedule for our players. We’re fully committed to that. Our preparation is a key for us. We didn’t do quite as well as I hoped. That’s my fault last weekend. But, the San Francisco game, we’re on the five-yard line, had a chance to score, done it many times before. It just didn’t happen this time. The other day we had the ball inside the 20-yard line, same thing, 1:25 to play. We had an opportunity, got stripped and the football game out. We didn’t play the way we wanted to play, but nevertheless the point is , we were in position. Nothing in terms of how we prepare or the work day has anything to do with that part of it. I think our schedule is a good one.

Screw Coughlin & the whore he rode in on. I have NEVER liked him.

I'm not a big fan either, but I give him credit for going all out in a 'meaningless' game against NE a few years ago...and then beating them in the super bowl.
