Ridiculous to read stories about the Giants' punter being to blame for loss Sunday

[ndj101982]

I keep reading stuff on ESPN and other sports websites regarding the status of the punter for the Giants. Are you friggin kidding me??? They focus on his bad punt despite the fact that the Giants blew a 21 point lead in less than 8 minutes in the 4th quarter. Also, they blame the punter because, despite Jackson fumbling the ball after receiving the punt, they still couldn't tackle him. Are they serious???

So true Eli sucked on the punt drive, and the long snapper did give the rookie a high snap and with a fumble what did the other 10 guys do stop for a latte on the way to Jackson. But yeah to place the blame on 1 guy is wrong that was a complete team let down.

I agree with you 100%. One play did not allow 28 points in 7 minutes and 30 seconds. This was a complete meltdown by the New York Giants. One player does not deserve the blame for a total team collapse.

Tom Coughlin seems the most to blame, honestly.

Gregg Easterbrook explains it pretty well in his TMQ column...

Tom Coughlin's an ass. He's proven so many times.
