Under coach Tom Coughlin, the 2015 New York Giants are fighting, but they are just not finishing: seven of their eight losses have come by six points or less, including last week's comeback against the Carolina Panthers, which saw them claw back from a 35-7 third-quarter hole only to lose, 38-35. Earlier this month, Giants co-owner Steve Tisch called this a "very frustrating" season, and his frustration has likely only mounted in the three weeks since he said that: New York is 1-2, including an overtime loss to the Jets that saw Coughlin mismanage the things in the fourth quarter , going for it on fourth down from the 4 rather than taking the field goal that would have put his team up by 13 points with 8:42 to play. Then came Sunday, when star receiver Odell Beckham Jr. acted recklessly, letting his emotions get the best of him as he blindsided cornerback Josh Norman with a helmet-to-helmet hit. Coughlin did not pull Beckham from the game, and after Beckham caught the game-tying touchdown, the Giants' defense didn't stop Cam Newton from marching his team into field goal territory, with kicker Graham Gano splitting the uprights from 43 yards out for the Carolina win. Coughlin has won two Super Bowls with the Giants, but he hasn't led the team to the postseason since winning the second, after the 2011 season. As he nears 70 years old and given what he's done for the franchise, the Giants could give Coughlin the opion of retiring so he leaves on a more graceful note. ON THE HOT SEAT Tom Coughlin, New York Giants The Giants have lost 13 players to injured reserve, but nearly every team has to deal with losses to key personnel every season. How they react and adapt is vital. [ Yahoo Daily Fantasy: $10 could win you $25K in our $250K contest for Week 16 ]
