What I mean by this
On 2nd and 4 when he threw the pick. The Steelers were only rushing 3 , and dropped 8 into coverage. At that point its almost impossible to throw into that on a short field.
Instead he should've audibled to a shotgun draw , and our 5 linemen would've beaten there 3. Jennings easily would've had a first or close to it.
Secondly , several times in the game the Steelers cb were playing 10-15 yards off the line of scrimmage on Odell. Why wasn't he audibling to a quick strike to Odell. He easily could've had 5-8 yard catches. Then it would've forced the steelers cb's to play him tight which would've opened up the slant.
I have one other point but curious as to what you fellow Giant fans think?
Think of how we'd be doing with Fitzpatrick or some of the other QBs around...not very well, imo.
I do agree that they disguise coverage , but the off coverage on beckham was right there for the taking every time.

True however he is better than he's playing , he needs to spread the ball around
That's why I recommended a shotgun draw thanks
He doesn't have a run game that scares anybody; so he's playing with 26 cards.
His rival, last night had 52, that's why Eli got beat.

First, that was a great pick by Timmonds. Second, two inches higher and that is a TD. We probably are talling about what a great win that was.
He was open. If Eli threw a better pass, it is a TD.
It was a good playcall and a good route. It wasn't a great pass, but it was a very good INT by Timmons.

It's never the other team

Because ... WHY IS HE IN THE GAME!!!
That's really it. It was frustrating given the entire spectrum of info on the guy leading to that moment.
One of those irrational fan "WHY THE FUCK _____________ (fill in the blank)? situations. Not always accurate, but at least heartfelt? lol
(Maybe your question was rhetorical. But I was pissed seeing Donnell as the intended, myself.)
"We need to force it Beckham! He's the best player on the team!!!"
We lose to Pittsburgh.
"Eli has plax vision. We need to spread the ball around. Eli has tunnel vision!"
Damned if you do, damned if you dont.

harping that it was a poor decision to throw to Donnell?
Check the game thread right after it happened. Half the posts somehow were able to blame Donnell for the pick. You know, the guy who got open.
Yet, my eyes told me the Steeler was only able to make the play because the ball was underthrown. They must be pretty bad if they know a guy is getting the ball and he's that open.
It also must mean Donnell is a damn good TE!!!!

there, give em some credit, Eli is not a mind reader. I just felt the game was over there. Brutal.

I was at the game and wondered about that too.
There were a number of times where it appeared as if the Steelers were playing single high safety from where I was sitting in the stadium. The guys were thinking, "Here we go, Odell may have a shot here on this coverage." But then, just before the snap, the free safety would recover back to depth (not too deep as seen in other games) on Odell's side and the Giants were not able to take the shot deep.
trajectory of the ball .. He was open and if he floated it
a bit more I doubt anyone could have got over there in
time to bat the ball down .
Pitt had Eli confused on many occasion he even admits that
the fact that you can only run just so many plays from
our 11 personal makes it much easier to defend .
The damning part is the tipping of the play is all over
the internet please explain to me why it wasn't corrected .
Not only are we being out coached we can't even fix the
fixable mistakes . Spags has the defense playing winning
football . The offense and play calling is so old and
lacking in imagination that even the lowly Browns basically
shut us down . How do you only go to your best player
once in the first half and totally abandon the run when
the score is 5-0 . The offense is a joke right now and
there is nothing funny about it .
People that are puffing there chests out about 8 wins
have blinders on the rest of our games are playoff games
and we have one hand tied behind our backs .
The defense can play there hearts out and still lose
Sunday Night . We could stifle Elliott and still give
up 28 points because of Zak legs .. Our Defense will
continue to tire in the 4th quarter because of the
TOP factor that's catching up 3 of the 4 starters were
nicked up Pitts line is a big tough brawling bunch
as is the Cowboys . Its taking its toll ....
If they are only rushing 3, you're not drawing in enough defenders. They've got plenty of people back waiting for the runner -- and no one to block since the line dropped into pass protection.
They are delayed handoffs and the purpose isn't to beat the blitz and a wave of rushers, it is to freeze the LB's into trying to figure out if it is a pass or run. Much like play action.

Haha...so true. Fans are fickle.
Yeah there was zero rhythm to the Offense in that game.
If you're down a bishop and a rook you'd have to be playing garbage teams to even win.
Maybe even college.
