unfortunately, that's it for tom coughlin. the thing is, he's a great coach in this franchise's history, but the winning has run out. if he's going to miss the playoffs for 6 out of 7 years, that's just not good enough. >> what does is say that this is being promoted as the top receivers against one another. odell beckham jr. and jarvis landry. >> it doesn't say anything great about either franchise, when you've got to sell the wide receivers in december. unfortunately, this feels a lot like when the bengals and oilers used to play in december, or the jaguars and the colts. it's like, hey there's good players kind of on tv. do you want to watch football? >> let's get to baseball. the winter meetings just wrapped up. wall street journal's jared diamond did a really nice piece on the finances of the sport. that these top flight pitchers that is $1 million a start. >> it's crazy. and i think that's where the resentment lies with the fans. you can't even really wrap your mind around $30 million a year to go out and play a game 30

i wondered if they were surprised tom coughlin went for it. >> it's really surprising to me but coughlin completely stood by the decision. said he would go for it again. josh brown, he was like, i thought i was coming out there >> i think it speaks to where the giants are at right now, where tom coughlin says i don't have a lot of faith in my defense to get stops. i think he was looking to get that nail in the coffin for the jets that they'd be able to close it out. they struggled to do that. i think he felt the extra three points wasn't going to do a whole lot. the jets offense came down and scored on him twice. >> thing to me, you kick the field goal. it's a little more conservative. he said he's been more aggressive in the 4th quarter, conservative. you just make the smart goal. >> especially for a team that has had problems being able to close out opponents. we've seen that this entire year, and again, it came back to bite the giants, because they were unable to close it out, but maybe what does it say about the jets for being able to come back and win a game. >> they talked about th

was this the last time tom coughlin would have a press conference after a giants practice? after three straight losing seasons and four years without a play-off appearance, coughlin is not just on the hot seat. he is sitting on flames. but you would never know by the way he has handled himself. >> this is the 16th game of the season and that's where i'm focused on. i won't let myself go in those other directions because we have a job to do. >> reporter: he has been here most memorable super bowls in history. >> and the giants are the most improbable win have won super bowl xlii. >> reporter: if he wins sunday he will move into 11th place all time with coaching wins, 171, one behind bill parcells. >> got a game ball for coach coughlin. >> reporter: for eli manning he is the only coach he has ever known in the nfl. >> just go out there and worry about playing football. worry about having our mind on, um, our assignments, our job, our practices. >> don't worry about me or my situation. let's prepare ourselves to, um, to play an outstanding football game. >> reporter: for now,

what impact do you think that has on tom coughlin's future in new york? >> it can't be good either for coach coughlin or for general manager jerry reese between being eliminated from the postseason saturday night and just being embarrassed tonight. we have to watch now and see how it plays out. ownership of the giants has kept the cards close to the vest saying decisions will be made after the season's end. hard to imagine they don't have a good idea what they'll do when the season ends next sunday after they face the eagles. and in that same division, nfc east where washington has emerged as an unlikely champion, a couple of other hot spots. philadelphia, coach chip kelly under fire for his work as the coach and in his first year as the person in charge of the football operations. that's a situation to keep an eye on along with the dallas cowboys. owner jerry jones has called out the coaching staff not that long ago for not winning more games with tony romo injured this year. now, it would be very expensive to make a change. has four years left on his co

dropping big blue to 5-6, people question if coughlin's decision would end up costing him his job at the end of the season. >> i don't pay any attention to it. the benefit of my team, my coaches and everybody else. to be honest, nobody knows my team better than i know my team. so when you sit in judgment of what goes on. it's all been thought out, whether you like it or not, whether it's right or long. >> the win for the jets has them flying high. not only does it keep them in the hunt for a playoff spot. also the first time this season, they won a game after trailing at halftime. i spoke with coach about not just getting the w, but how they did it. >> to win that game, and come from behind like we did showed some grit for us, which is the first time this year, we've came from behind, so i'm happy for us. >> of course the giants are 5-7 on the season. time for us to step aside for a minute. their man. i'm not a fan of putting my personal info in these online shopping forms. hellloooo??? i don't have time to be filling out my address, i need to be buying a dress. that's why i use mast

they're coming off the ball, capturing the line of scrimmage, and doing what tom coughlin wants done. finish the game in the fourth quarter when you have a lead. this can be a huge confidence builder erer for the giants if they get it done. >> mike: receivers on the proper side. 2:12 left, second and five. miami is out of time-outs. a run forces the 2:00 warning to be the next stoppage. jennings in the middle, pulled back by suh. here for the dolphins. 2:00 left, it's very close for a tie in the division. are you a dog lover, watson? i do not own a dog. but i work with veterinarians. how do you do that? i help them analyse over one hundred thousand pages of medical studies. that's great...
