You're right - he's blameless. He did enough to win.
The INT, holding the ball far too damn long - all because of the OL. Or the coach.
Save for a handful of seasons, we've been making these excuses for Eli for a long damn time, even while TC was here.
The INT was a catchable ball. Here are the facts:
1. This OL is historically bad
2. Marshall has been a bum through two games. Minimal effort, doesn't fight for the ball (endzone throw), questionable awareness (sideline throw: feet), game killing drop.
3. No YAC from the receivers.
You're simply in denial. Even every ESPN talking head is saying how bad the OL is, yet Eli didn't do enough.
Were some of the worst coached teams I've seen in my life. So spare me me your Coughlin revisionist bullshit. We all lovecwhat TC did for the Giants, but it's time to let go. For fucks sake.
Not to mention how he handed Beckham was a joke. Embarrassing.
Eli is part of the problem.He is playing with no fire what so ever. He is moving his feet all over the place. He is locked onto one target and is taking to long to make the reads.
1. The OL was a huge problem that we did not address this off season. Anyone who wanted to truly be objective could see that this OL was going to be a train wreck.
2. The offense was this bad last year except for a few individual efforts by OBJ which covered up the stink.
3. I never liked McAdoo as the choice for head coach. People said the Giants will hire him to keep some consistency or continuity for Eli. Well, that does not seem to be working out for Eli right now.
Eli is part of the problem.He is playing with no fire what so ever. He is moving his feet all over the place. He is locked onto one target and is taking to long to make the reads.
No fire???
Did you just see the beating he took tonight? Holy fuck what is wrong with some of you
I expect what is reasonable considering the situation
How do you think manning plays with adequate protection on a somewhat consistent basis? I understand pass protection falters, but this is ridiculous
There were plenty of plays early on with decent protection - and he didn't produce. Worse, even was the fact that he turned the ball over on one of them.
That protection can be made to look worse by the QB - and unfortunately, it doesn't look like he's doing them any favors either.
The fact that he was never the most mobile guy and he's up in age now isn't helping matters either. Look at how much pressure Stafford faced - but his speed left him able to outrun it for much of the night (he took some nasty hits too).
Eli is part of the problem.He is playing with no fire what so ever. He is moving his feet all over the place. He is locked onto one target and is taking to long to make the reads.
Because Eli has always been so fiery even when things are going well!
He held the ball longer tonight on a couple plays trying to not do what everyone has been killing him for lately (checking down because of happy feet/broken internal clock) and it backfired because no one was open/the OL is what the flaming trash that it is
I'm hardly an Eli apologist, but the only thing to really rip him for was the INT -- that hurt, badly, and there was no excuse for it.
half of them are because he doesn't move or he holds on for ever. His feet are jumping up and down. He needs to get pissed off and tell them to wake the hell up.
This is year 3 of Mcadoo leading the offense and it's gotten progressively worse since he's been there.
You have a shitty offensive line? Boo hoo. So does half the league. Clearly he agreed with management that upgrades weren't warranted, or he would've banged on the table during draft time and/off season.
And while we were spared Eli's late game brain fart this week, he isn't blameless either. How many times have we seen him run the play clock down in crucial situations and then take a delay of game over the years? Huffnagel, Gilbride, McAdoo. Three offensive coordinators and one constant. Eli. 4th and goal delay of game while the game is still in reach.
Sorry, inexcusable.
And what the fuck was that throw into the middle of the field to Shepherd while he's rolling left and falling untouched. Throws a fucking wobbly duck nearly from his knees.
A QB of caliber who makes this much money shouldn't be making these types of rookie mistakes at this point in his career.

Manning made mistakes, his one was a bad play. Manning has made a lot of those over his career, yes he is older and not mobile which explains a lot with the protection.
I know Eli does some head scratching things, it's who he is as a qb, but he is getting close to zero help. I just don't see how he is a clog in the offense the way it is. To me it all starts up front, yes there are times he has good protection, that doesn't mean everything else is working the way it should. To me, he's about the last guy to get grilled for this

If you saw the replay he was tripped up on the roll out
I will ask it again: Who on Offense helped Eli out? Â
He plodded on for amother several yards then launched a terrible throw while his ankles are rolled over.
Young QBs often throw off their back foot and it's something that they have to consistently work on. He still does it. Front foot. Back foot. Rolled ankles. On tippie toes. Constantly. It all comes down to poor decision making from a guy who's paid like the best player on our offense. He isnt.
RE: I will ask it again: Who on Offense helped Eli out? Â
The only one I saw who made something happen was EE.
I agree with you. Nobody helped Eli. This offense other than OBJ is not good. Eli also did not help himself. McAdoo is saying right now that Eli needs to play better too.

He had one really bad pass, but let's ignore the dropped passes he failed to throw and catch, the lack of a running game, and the 2.2 secs he has.
The offense as a whole didn't play well. Not the receivers. Not the OL. Not the QB.
But it's okay to criticize those other guys because they're not Eli. Think back to those other season when Mario would killed for "running the wrong route" and Eli throwing the ball to no one. How about all those picks he's thrown over the years - where the ball wasn't thrown particularly accurately or placed where the WR could grab YAC and it wound up getting tipped for an INT. Those guys got killed while Eli got a pass.
How much help did the opposing QB get today? He had pressure on him all day. He still found a way to get it done, escape the rush and hit receivers in stride. That guy carried his team tonight while our guys still gets excused for shitty play as if he's a first year.
Think about this, you are asking him to win games without any running game, an OBJ at 85%, some key dropped passes, and an O-line that is the worse in the NFL. IMO it's a miracle he even kept us in that game into the 4th qtr
And you honestly can't sit here and say Stafford did not have help Â
You could put Joe Montana behind this line and it would be a mess
Go Terps : 11:24 pm : link : reply
And fuck Beckham. We're down two TDs and he's talking shit after catching an 8 yard pass. If they pay that clown they're fucking nuts.
Yeah let Philly sign OBJ that should be fun to watch and
as for TC I would take him 10 out of 10 times over Mr. Heavy handed and is garbage offense .
He really reached into his bag or tricks with the end around
and the two minute offense with 3 TO's LOL who could possibly be confident with this so called game plan it's
laughable . the crossing patterns into what looked like the
LIE on memorial day just begging for a turn over and who
ends up getting behind the defense none other than Jerell Adams who has the size and seemingly the hands to be a very good two way TE with Ellison who can catch and block and
LaCosse who has some route running skills and nice hands himself . If I were the coach I would have grabbed Engram by the face mask for getting the dumb penalty and his MJ routine by grabbing his crotch .

I don't necessarily disagree. The entire offense is a shitshow. Three years running now.
But I'm sorry, your highest paid player isn't producing. He's the focal point of the offense. He touches the ball on every down.
I don't expect him to put the team on his back like he did during the SB runs. Quite honestly, I don't think he's capable of it now. That was a different guy.
What I do expect is for him to manage the game properly. Minimize mistakes. Escape the pocket once in while. Stop throwing into triple coverage. Stop throwing the ball underhanded, backwards or from your knees. Take the damn sack. And if you're playing a short game of screens and slants, then hit your fucking receivers in stride.
But there's too much winging it going on out there and IMHO he deserves a big part of the blame because he's the guy.

Manage the damn play clock. How he's unable to get a play off so often in crunch situations is mind boggling. Those delays of game are just as costly as his picks.
And for the last time - save for a select few, nobody is putting Â
I think everyone is to blame for this shit show here.
Eli with the dumb ass interception after the defense gave them a gift, the offensive line for performing like a bunch of fucking cunts ONCE AGAIN, McAdoo and the awful play calling, the 3 and outs, gassing the defense. For fuck’s sake, your defense spent nearly the entire first quarter on the field AGAIN. The short field position. The short fucking passes 4 yards in front of the first fucking down marker. The penalties, the one drive where the Giants had to settle for a fucking field goal.
This could be bad, the offensive line is absolutely pathetic and garbage. Absolute garbage. They roll out the same fucking group of guys every single fucking year and they all suck. Reese can’t build an offensive line to save his own ass.
Is Detroit the fucking steel curtain and the 2000 Ravens all of a sudden?
Holy shit, Brandon Marshall is also fucking useless. Fuck him for that bitch ass drop. I’m fucking steaming but hey if this team wants to fucking go 0-2 into Philadelphia? then so be it.
You're an absolute clown. We all know you have Coughlins Dick firmly implanted into your mouth, but it's getting ridiculous at this point. The plays were there to be made. They didn't fucking make them. Drops, bad passes, a punt return for a TD, running routes short of the line for a first. Yeah, all on "Ray Handley". You're truly embarrassing yourself in your Coughlin crusade and quite frankly, nobody is in the mood for it so fuck off.
Last time the Giants went 8 games without scoring 20 points was 1978.
Lol, Britt you're killing it. I definitely enjoy someone putting the blame
Where it's due. Reese is the other part of the problem. Coughlin caught shit after going 11-5 in 2005 and shitting the bed in the playoffs yet this dick gets a pass? Fuck that. And fuck macadoo.
Eli is part of the problem.He is playing with no fire what so ever. He is moving his feet all over the place. He is locked onto one target and is taking to long to make the reads.
No fire???
Did you just see the beating he took tonight? Holy fuck what is wrong with some of you
I'm glad someone saw the same game as me tonight. Minus the phantom sack, Eli went 2011 championship game out there tonight. Hung in there and got destroyed while still making plays. This is 100% on Mac and Reese.

No - but he's not supposed to hold the ball for 7 seconds and expect protection, or misfire when he has time and open receivers either.
Did you guys watch the same fucking game?

McAdoo is the headcoach and the offensive playcaller.
He's an offensive coach.
The last time they went 8 games without scoring 20 points was 1978.
That's historically bad.
Has nothing to do with Coughlin.

The GM can't build a decent OLine in 6 tries. The QB is old and shell-shocked and pretty close to done.

Even if his OL is largely to blame - the mistakes Eli has been making make everyone on that offense look much, much worse.
He's your franchise - the highest paid Giant. His margin for error is a lot less - and when he doesn't live up to it, the team suffers mightily.
