New York Giants - New Orleans Saints Post-Game Discussion

would lose and drive Giants fans crazy in the process. If only we hadn't had three fumbles, a dropped TD pass, a missed field goal, and untimely penalties, we might have won the damn game. But wait. We did win the damn game.

It's the mental part that affected his stock.

So it's been said, but IDK, I'd like to hear it from Big Ben himself. Maybe it's not just the mental aspect? IDK

IMO, it would take some really lousy play to be worse then Donnell. We did see the first Donnell falling on his head today. I am certain there will be more to come.

Looking at my notes, seven of Eli Manning's nine incompletions were dropped/could have been caught.

I agree it's a position that needs to be upgraded but he gets too much criticism here, IMO.

He was very inaccurate though.

What does he do well that doesnt deserve criticism?

I was pretty pissed at him but coming up huge on a much harder catch then beckum had on that 3rd and 8.....that was a money play and key

Beckum hasn't been on the team in years.

And one catch after the patented bobble. Probably more of those to come, too. Just hope they don't lead to turnovers.

but quarters 2 through 4 Eli looked incredible. The throw on the run to his left like 30 yards down the field to Cruz? Perfectly placed. The penultimate throw of the game to Beckham? Perfectly placed. Both were huge gains that probably should have been caught.

He moved well in the pocket (for Eli) and took two sacks instead of forcing it. I can't believe anyone is criticizing him based on what I saw and the stat line. What other pocket-passing QB would have done better than Eli today?

We run right, or up the middle almost exclusively with the same handful of plays. Very rarely do we run behind Flowers at the POA. The passing game is dink and dunk. just can't get fully behind the WCO and this is not a good version of it IMO

Teams are not going to let OBJ break the game. They're just not. And as solid as Jennings is, he's not scaring anyone.

Just silly
