without addressing Problem #1. Even IF Eli is part of the problem, he is like #5 down the line.

Even Henry Hynoski mentioned the communication issue in another podcast.

or a PERCEIVED lack of time... either one will make a QB look bad.

First let me say, I appreciate your posts on this forum. I look forward to reading your thoughts. As for your most recent post, I don't think it's the teams "strategy" to take what the defense gives us. I think Mac stresses the importance of taking care of the ball as a qb, I think it's possible he stresses it more than Coughlin did. So I think we have a couple of things going on, I you have the qb being a little to careful on coaches instructions, lack of anyone being open, and third the OL. What Dave Diehl said on the podcast about Dallas just sitting, or knowing where our we were going to be isn't good news in the least bit. One thing that I feel I have heard a lot, is that Mac's offense is easy to defend, it certainly looked easy to defend Sunday night. Now does adding a mobile qb who can throw the ball, and most importantly know where and when to throw the ball make this offense better? Of course, but if we're attempting to fit Eli in an offense that isn't designed for him, then we should get used to struggle, although Eli played well early under Mac's offense. Although we were told Coughlin and Mac combined offenses.

Thanks crick - I appreciate the kind words. I think you and I are actually on the same page because I really agree with everything you just said. Perhaps I'm not communicating well. I think a better word than strategy might be guiding principle or philosophy.

needs to get into the film room with these guys.

He seems to think most of these things are technique, communication, and confidence.

I have a feeling are OT's are technique poor and not very bright. They aren't adjusting or communicating.

the coaching staff is getting dinged here too.

Maybe they should ask Diehl to coach the offensive line.

Maybe they should ask him to coach the team. He talks like a guy who would make a great head coach. He's smart, knowledgable, articulate, and fiery. Checks all the boxes if you ask me.

Dan, perhaps my reading comprehension could use some work!

When Papa says that's defenders are running to the spots where the receivers are sitting for passes - I think he implicating the scheme. Defenders are sitting in two high zone coverage and they seem to know the routes the receivers are running. This is different from a receivers not being able to shake man coverages. We've been hearing and seeing that teams seem to be completely dialed in to what the offense is trying to do. There was a blitz by Sean Lee on Sunday where you would have thought he knew the snap count and the play call.

Agree, but I'd add that I think it is about as ridiculous to deny that he deserves any of the blame as to suggest that he deserves all of it. Both extremes are completely ridiculous.

Completely agree, hoya.

I don't think anything that you've said here is uncommon in the NFL, especially with division opponents. It's not like teams change the playbook every year. When you play a team twice a year in your division, you know what their offense is supposed to be. And the Giants know what the Cowboys run too. They've been playing Jason Garrett teams for almost 10 years. They know the types of run plays they like, the types of concepts they favor, and the plays that they run most often in different situations. All division opponents have that familiarity. That's why these games are typically close contests.

He didn't play well Sunday night, and deserves some of the flack sent his way. However, what he doesn't deserve is to shoulder all, or even most of the blame, and he certainly doesn't deserve to be called "done" after one lousy game.

I agree with all of this, but would point out that going back over the past year Eli has had an increasing number of lousy games. There may be many reasons for his poor play, but age cannot be discounted just because Giant fans do not want to acknowledge the inevitable decline in skills and mobility that comes to all QBs. The real indictment is to the front office and coaching staff who have elected to go with an aging QB but have done nothing to mitigate his weaknesses by either improving his protection or designing a scheme to get some of the pressure off the QB. The sad part of Sunday night is not the final score but the fact that the Giants were so thoroughly over-matched from the outset.

All-22 is available to anyone with $100 in their pocket. It's not that hard to gain access.

Your on record. You're. And yes, I'm on record -- Eli needs better OL play in front of him, but can and should also play a bit better than he has over the last 15-20 games as a body of work. I hope that doesn't trigger you too much more than it has already, pumpkin. Hi sweetheart. Doesn't trigger anything other than the fact that now you are trying to backtrack on your Eli stance. You're wrong. Simple.

Oooh, you got "you're" right this time. You might as well get something right at some point since you like questioning people's IQ.

I'll go on record. I think Eli is in decline. I've said all along that I do acknowledge that the OL needs to be better/play better, but I also think they're being scapegoated to some extent for Eli's weaknesses.

And if you think this podcast is the gospel, I'll point you ~10 minutes in when Diehl suggests they send Eli out on rollouts. But I'm supposed to believe he's informed and unbiased?

How successful Eli has always been in the hurry up offense, when he calls his own plays? Just a thought. Oh yeah, and the OL sucks monkey balls.

So now we're down to talking about that I used your instead of you're once in a freaking post? My god. Nothing better to say I guess. I'll believe David way before I believe you when it comes to football. So you are a better source than Papa and Diehl? Ok then.

Hits anymore. He gave jerry a long time to improve the line and he doesn't want to go back home to his family with brain damage. Can't blame him one bit

You want to keep moving the goalposts, have at it. Sorry that you didn't realize that the All-22 was available to the general public. But yes, I've played QB in the NFL and been a head coach in the NFL exactly the same number of games as Papa and Diehl combined. Crazy coincidence, I know.

And it's convenient that you're flat out ignoring Sy's game review that Hoya directed you toward. As Hoya mentioned, Sy is a professional scout - so he's definitely qualified to offer his take on Eli's performance, wouldn't you agree?

Here was his take from Sunday night (on Eli; you can read the rest yourself if you want):

Quote:

29/38 – 220 yards – 0 TD – 1 INT – 78.8 rating. Manning lacked command and toughness. His shaky feet in the pocket could partially be blamed on the poor play upfront, but he rushed several throws when he didn’t need to. There was enough zip on his passes and his lone deep pass of the night actually had too much on it. When the team needed him to step up, he didn’t answer the bell. A couple of the biggest opportunities resulted in Manning not getting the job done.

And you ignore Diehl and Papa. So now what? Listen we will agree to disagree. Because we can go round and round. I don't think Eli is to blame for the offense. You believe he is- or at the very least- partially to blame. We'll just go with that. I think that is not correct. You do. Great. Carry on.

Fair enough. And I appreciate your position even though I disagree with it. Believe me, I hope you're right - your take is a much safer path to another Lombardi and I think we can both agree on that!

He's being sacked less frequently than he was under TC/KG by a fair amount. Carr actually was sacked frequently; Eli might be rushing to avoid getting sacked, but he's been sacked less often than almost any other time in his career since BMc took over.

about getting sacked.

His game mngt skills are taking a hit as well as he clearly realizes the gameplan and his skills are not beating Defenses anymore...

I wish any of us could sit down with Eli off the record and just ask him about the final drive against Dallas this past Sunday. Down 2+ scores with 2 minutes to go and almost every single pass was a 5 yard checkdown. Where is Eli the gunslinger? At that point in the game, even an interception doesn't really matter, and there wasn't really much pass rush since Dallas was in some form of prevent. Why was there no attempt to even try for a last ditch effort to win the game? Where was the QB that Accorsi fell in love with in Oxford?

I have been very critical of Eli this week and honestly, it was that drive that caused me to go back and look at the rest of his performance through a different lens.
