Phil Collins felt it coming in the air tonight, and I felt it in the pre-season. If you don't believe me, listen to this edition of "Off the Wall Podcast." I didn't feel good about the Giants this season. I get it, they won 10 games, it wasn't an awful season, or was it?. Are they in the playoffs? No. Should they be in the playoffs? Yes.

The general manager, Jerry Reese, told us repeatedley that this team had more talent on it than the team that won the Super Bowl after the 2007 season. Meanwhile, all of this talent is cleaning out their lockers today and tomorrow and for the rest of the week, instead of preparing for a game in Philadelphia this Sunday.

So was it an awful season? In my eyes, absolutely. I don't see how you can call it successful. My thought process points to one game and you know what game I'm talking about. The game against the Eagles will be replayed every year for the rest of our lives. Every time the Eagles are down late in the game, we won't just see Herm Edwards, we'll see Michael Vick and DeSean Jackson. Forever. Book it. It will always be there. I can't see an Eagles hat, shirt, jersey, or pretty much anything green without thinking about it. I'm half Irish. Yup. St. Patrick's day is ruined.

Tom Coughlin is coming back. He must still have the locker room. If he didn't he would have been Mangini'd today. Remember the movie "Kingpin?" When something bad happened to someone they called it Munsoned? Maybe Donald Trump could change his trademark, "You're Fired," to, "You're Mangini'd." I like the sound of that. This guy wins 10 games with the Jets, gets a chance to be on "The Sopranos," then gets fired from two teams.

George Washington Duke, your thoughts, "Only in America." You said a mouthful brother.

Okay where was I? Oh yeah, Coughlin is back. I have to be honest. The last couple weeks of the season. I wanted Michael Corleone to walk into the locker room, stare him down, and say, "You're out Tom." However, I have had a change of heart, and I am glad the Giants, a classy organization, are giving him another shot. He is 65-47 in the regular season, 4-3 in the playoffs, including the Super Bowl title after the 2007 season. In seven years, he is averaging 9.2 wins per season. Ownership likes him, the players seem to be fond of him, so why change the culture if no one wants the culture to be changed. It will also be nice to see him maybe get a shot with a mostly healthy team for the entire season.

By the way, I will own up to my prediction. I said in the podcast before the season started that they would win six games. Yes, six games. They won 10, but they weren't a kick in the rear end away from six. The question is, can I take four wins and nitpick them into potential losses? Sure can. Here goes. Week 6 against the Lions they escaped by the hair of their chinny chin chins. The following week in Dallas they went into my favorite defense. Prevent. Which as we all know, say it with me, "Prevents you from winning." They held on, but barely. Okay I need two more. Week 12 against Jacksonville was a near loss and this past week against the Redskins was a nailbiter. If you were confident in the fourth quarter after Antrel Rolle was beaten for a 65-yard touchdown, you're a liar.

In summation ladies and gentleman of the jury. This team, which boasted to be better than their Super Bowl team from three years ago, should have played to their very nickname, but instead subtracted the G and the I and walked directly into the path of a magnifying glass.
