Serby NYP: Eli Manning is only fooling himself with his confidence
Schwartz NYP: Unfazed Eli Manning says Giants’ new offense a ‘work in progress’
RV NYDN: NY Giants QB Eli Manning admits it could take all season to master Ben McAdoo’s West Coast offense
Now that's a collective " Absolutely Maybe" on the other hand it could be a
" positive perhaps"
In all aspects I get the impression they don't know what the hell they're talking about but they've gotta write.
Much like the three blind men describing an elephant after each touching a separate and different part of the elephant's body.
Yep can really rely on the media for "Inside Info"
I feel that they took Eli's comments and spun them in a way that gave off a different feel than they know what was truly intended. Bad journalism.

I agree 1000%. Eli made it explicitly clear he feels they are ready for week 1 and he is clearly confident, despite what we have seen in exhebition games. Yet they deliberately spin comments like work in progress as saying something they know full well he wasn't, as in, not ready, has a ways to go. That's not what he meant and he told them this directly.
Schwartz: "Unfazed Eli" means "Folks, I'm telling you that Eli doesn't know what's going on and is out of touch with reality".
RV: "Might take all season long" means "Folks, all my articles are written to stir things up and here's the latest article to do so".
That's why I never read their articles plus Graziano and Gary Myers (Tiki Barber craps on ....).
There are many BBI posters who provide a better insight into the Giants than those writers and although I occasionally disagree with Pat Traina, Jordan Ranaan, Connor Orr and Conor Hughes, they are light years ahead of Schwartz, Serby and RV in providing useful info.
Of course, the HOF beat wrier is Garofalo- too bad he no longer covers the Giants exclusively.
However the fan such as myself assumes Media is NOT self serving and feels whatever media put out must have some merit. If this is extrapolated over a period of time, The young lady, " Miss Information" becomes a regular and is assumed to have an " affair" with ALL the journalists.
The three quoted are not high school kids trying out for the school newspaper.
Geez, that pisses me off and it's only my second coffee!
“Perhaps there should’ve been a time where we did nothing but throw the ball, but that really was not something that I wanted to entertain during this preseason.”
I thought it was pretty telling..
It's something I've got to add to my "quest " for Giant info.
There are a lot of bloggers who have no accountability for anything they say, that's a new-ish thing. But there's a lot more accountability for reporters at major newspapers, because if they get something wrong, commenters of all kinds across the Internet will let them know about it.
In the good old days, editors only heard about mistakes by letter or phone call and it was their choice whether to write a correction, publish a complaint, or just let it go. Nowadays, anybody can call out an error in the comments, or on social media, or on BBI.
It makes sense in that you can do a lot of work on the passing game in practice than you can with the run game. The run game really does require live bullets.
To be honest the reports on the passing game in practice haven't been great, bit I will reserve ultimate judgement on the offense for the first month.
People forget that SPAGS "awesome" defense gave up over 80 points in its first two games.
The era of Twitter and bloggers has nothing to do with Serby being Serby or Ralph doing what his bosses pay him to.

Exactly. Priority #1 for writers from the Post and the Daily News is to help sell newspapers. Which means taking whatever is out there and sensationalizing it to invent a big story.
Or has he given up that crusade??
Serby=ass clown
No dumped him in a locker? Esiason? Or was it Rihard Todd??
He's a jets bet guy to me.
paid for it.. one thing about Eli he reallly looks
lost in interviews...he looks unhappy...
don't know if he buys in...he said you need a whole
game to get in sync. ..we'll find out soon...
