Was it a good throw? Taking into account that Carr held Beckham, was Eli's throw a little high, a little far, not far enough, near perfect… Looking for the wisdom of the crowd on this one.
was a 45-50 yard perfect soft toss to the pylon where the defensive back would not have been able to get it and where Beckham would have been able to catch it very easily had he not be held.
corrected in my opinion that it was long. Carr's (?) blatant and harsh hold, as he propelled himself past OBJ to get to the ball is what held OBJ back.
Factoring that in, it might have been a perfect throw.
And don't hold your breath waiting for Joey Nickels (Marshall on Montana) starting a thread about it. He's busy fellating ANY other QB.
So how many of these threads are we going to have? Â
The fact that even with the circus catch, OBJ was able to land in the end zone tells you that the placement of the pass was perfect. Without the blatant DPI, the catch becomes a great outside shoulder go route pass.
We are officially at the point where mere positive mentions of qbs not named eli manning are seen as slights toward eli manning. Grow the fuck up. Stop being a whiny little bitch. Its all you ever do on this site. If you want to fight some eli holy war, pick real battles not imaginary ones. And when i call someone out, i like to make sure they see it. Bitch move
Great placement of the throw by Eli, unlike the one he threw in Seattle where he left it too far inside and OBJ became the defender on the pass and it was intercepted.
...in that both were terrible passes where the receiver bailed Eli out with a miraculous catch.
I'm generally Team Simmons, but that's pretty moronic of him to say. If OBJ isn't fouled, it's about the prettiest, non-Internet-breaking TD you ever see.
He caught it. Any pas that hits a player in the hand is good enough. Up to receiver to make the play. Obviously he made an amazing catch. Don't understand why all the talk about the pass. It was fine.
Do other teams deduct beating us when have injuries? All wins count. I recall losing a game to the packers because of a bad td call we did not get. A win is a win. They counted during the strike season too. Problem is we stunk in those games too.

OBJ? Lucky.
No credit to Eli for putting the football where people could somehow make great catches. Never seems to end.

Sometimes, a throw is just "good enough." Which is not the same as "good."
does the 2011 playoff clobbering count?
perfect spiral, perfect spot 52 yards downfield...
wtf are we even talking about?

Yep. looked perfect to me. The result of the play, touchdown.
It was a perfect football pass, though. Tight spiral, right at the pylon, going wide if it misses - good throw.
