    Specially in the last quarter.

    NFL standard kickers should be kicking FGs from 50, it is excusable to miss a handfull a season but damn...

    It was windy, the kick was too long. We should have gone for ti instead of punted but I agree not to kick the FG there.

    Either way we should have not punted. A good, not even great FG kicker can make those kicks. Looks like Mangini knows we don't have a good one.

    That is not true. Just like Manning, Pennington still gets the plays from the OC. They just don't huddle. He does have the option to run everyone to the line and run a pre-determined play, if he thinks its the right time.

    Mangini is a pansy. Yes, he runs some trick plays once in a while, but those have desperation written all over them. You have a team that is (was) over .500. They must have some talent. Trust it.

    Nobody will want to hear this, but...

    Herm would have went for the FG! and it would have been the right play.

    Nugent should not have gone in the 2nd round.

    NO kicker should go in the 2nd round. So that part of the argument is just not there.

    The question is how do you keep a kicker on your team that you do not trust? That's a much better question to ask.

    Does anyone remeber what happened when the Giants tried a 50 yarder vs the Bears last week?

    Wow! Are you as scared as Mangini is?

    I guess I really never knew how hard a 50 yarder was. I thought kickers did them all the time. Maybe we should get John Hall back.
