The Giants won Sunday, so their disapproval of the officiating was reduced to a smolder instead of a conflagration. But it was not entirely extinguished.
"There is," he said when asked if there was anything on videotape that made the call clearer, "but I won't go into it."
Coughlin did address the penalty against Osi Umenyiora for a "blow to the head" of Aaron Rodgers. He said he had "no idea" why that was a penalty.
"It was an aggressive football play," he said. "The quarterback is following through as he releases the ball. The hit is from the side, there's no helmet involved, it's from shoulders to waist. We'll coach that one forever."
Coughlin said the Giants came out of the game without major injuries but said it would not be clear until practice Wednesday .
