Do you think Tom Coughlin took his kicker-icing cues from Jason Garrett's moves last week? (i.e. did he see that Bailey was successfully iced last wee

I don't think what happened last week had anything to do with Coughlin's decision to call timeout. That's such a common move in the NFL these days, even though I think it rarely works and has backfired as much as it has paid off. There have been plenty of cases where the kicker missed the first kick only to get a second chance because of the timeout (which makes a coach look very very bad as the second kick is sailing through the uprights).

Another thing to remember in this case is that Bailey wasn't really iced, the kick was blocked. It's not like he went out there and shanked it 30 yards to the right, the Giants line just made a great push. The timeout didn't do anything to Bailey, it just have the D a second chance to get to him. Coughlin's going to get credit for pushing the right button at the right time but it's such an overrated move, especially when it works, and it's too fickle in my opinion. If you do it and it works you're a genius, if it fails you're a clueless buffoon... The only thing that anyone knows for sure? Don't ice your own kicker.
