I'm truly at a loss for words.
That never happens when I'm talking about my New York Giants.
After waking up this morning, I thought to myself, "I know they don't have anything to play for today, but there is no way the G-Men put up another stinker like they did last week against Carolina."

The people that support Bruce Arians are going to point to several reasons why he should not be fired such as:
He was the offensive coordinator in 2008 when the Steelers won the Super Bowl. Ben Roethisberger likes him. In 2009 his offense had ...
