So do you think you have had a successful season? It wasn't lomg ago you were moaning that they let you down.
Personally, for the Giants, solely making the playoffs isn't a success. You have to do something once you are there. When we won the Superbowl, if we did not win a playoff game that season, Coughlin would have got fired. Getting there is not success, doing something is what matters. I'm pissed off we didn't make it, bit if we did and then lost in the first round, we might as well just not make it and get a better pick.
For some teams, getting there is success enough (Jets, Bengals), but for a lot of teams, just making it is nothing unless you do something.
