Reblogged from ProFootballTalk:
There’s nothing a coach likes better than telling his players they're impossible underdogs.
It’s harder to sell when you’re the defending Super Bowl champions, but Giants coach Tom Coughlin is sell it anyway.
Because the 49ers are on a bit of a roll, and because they’re six-point favorites at home for Sunday’s NFC Championship Game rematch, Coughlin said he could “sense” that people thought the 49ers are the best team in the NFC.
This is stupid. The Giants shouldn't be selling it. The 49ers coach should as they've had some tough to choke down losses and they were supposed to be the best team in Football. That makes Coughlin's move stupid especially where they are. God help the Giants if they lose. Maybe then they'd be able to show that kind of attitude and play that no-respect game.
