McAdoo isn't shy about criticizing Eli

He knows Eli can take it, and he's trying to keep the world from piling on the linemen.

if Mac and Eli don't get along.

What a fucking quote.

Before he moves on to anyone else

Again

.

If you have two children, one a straight A student and one mentally challenged who would you criticize more?

and his defense last season, Mac would be this era's version of Ray Handley. He also needs to let go the play calling and have an offensive coordinator. Finally, give the Belichick like press conference a rest because he has not accomplished squat!!!

If they both make stupid mistakes - which do you think?

Maybe Terps is right but I'm wondering also if there is some underlying tension there.

That's bullshit.

Quite possibly. Very astute analysis.

.

the OL, especially Flowers, but will go after everyone/anyone else.

Going for it in that situation with the DoG was mind numbingly stupid and whatever the heck happened ended up saving him from looking even more foolish tonight.

In the NFL.

Any criticism from McAdoo should begin with a look in the mirror.

This supposed offensive guru is presiding over one of the most pathetic stretches of offense in the NFL.

And that's WITH possibly the most electrifying player in the game, and some pretty good receiving talent.

McAdoo fucking sucks - flat out.

Good coaching would be getting the team to score more than 6.5 points per game. (Unless press conference quotes are more important than scoring.)

Or giving Flowers some help when even the announcers are begging for it.

Or not running the offense out of the same formation all season long.

That's much better coaching.

But nah, can't criticize the biggest joke on the entire team, Ereck Flowers. 9th overall pick, few years in the league now, and literally no progress despite all of that hard work he put in in the offseason.

Heaven forbid we have a half-decent OLine for once..

Even so, at some point, you can't continue with that strategy without losing credibility.

His O' line is a shit show and Flowers is NOT I repeat NOT a left tackle. I am so tired of his bullshit interviews. We are fans and we are not blind. You can't execute when you flat out suck. Flowers looks absolutely lost and lethargic out there. At this point what do you have to lose. Time to move people around. Eli had some bad throws tonight again, but some of his better throws were drops. Two 4th downs and we don't coach to get past the sticks......Oh coach..who took 3 timeouts to the locker room with him at the end of the first half......DAM RIGHT ITS EVERYONE your a moron! Start calling it like it is.

He must not watch TV then because everyone is already piling on the OL.

ESPN was in consensus re: OL play and they're usually pretty critical of Eli.

That was some serious "throwing under the bus" stuff (not that Eli didn't deserve to get some grief) but I didn't expect that.

I am losing faith in MacAdoo daily, he seems to be in way over his head.

Coach is a tool. Eli not is infallible, but he is a better QB than McGreesie is a coach/ play caller.

I am so sick of these ass clowns

.

and his receivers were bad in second half.

Good ham and eggin'

It is never your fault. Eli does need to play better. I don't think fans can tell is it play calling, OL, or QB play. It looks like all three to me.

How cute. He still thinks Giants can run the ball. Yes Ben we know about complimentary football. That is run-run-sack-punt.

than to piss on our leg and tell us it's raining. Eli's still more than capable of QBing a championship contender. Offensive line is a disgrace. We all know it, coach.

Gruden said what I have said before. Pugh is the best option at LT. He has played it before and he wasnt horrible. T Rex arms and all, he's better than Flowers. Hart getting hurt was a plus in this game as well. Now all they need is for Jerry to get hurt and have Fluker play RG, flip Flowers to LG, Pugh to LT, and Wheeler to RT. What the fuck is so sacred about this O line's chemistry? And fuck all you "coaches know best" mother fuckers. Coaches are afraid to mess up THIS O line's chemistry? REALLY? There is no chemistry, and there is no untouchable talent on this line aside from Pugh, and luckily, he is a versatile O lineman. God dam it, it's fucking broke, gotta try any fucking thing to fix it. For real.

Yea, Eli sucks too, but Ansah was terrorizing him. We now know that Eli can not overcome a bad offensive line. Fucking do something. You telling me that things can be worse? The Giants are the lowest scoring offense in the NFL. How the fuck can things get worse? And what benefit is there in blaming Eli? What the fuck you gonna do? Play Webb? Jeez Louise with fucking Cream Cheese.

The world is already piling on Eli as well, even if he can take it better.

There's very likely some sort of conflict here at this point, dating back to even the beginning of last year before the offense went to hell, which is honestly odd given how Eli campaigned for him to get this job.

ripping Eli? How is that good coaching?

You wanna protect Baby Ereck? Fine. But why go after Eli? Protect Eli, too.

Dumb coaching is more like it.

I got him on his way off the field. He sucks. McAdoo that is.

Bad coaching.. Mcadoo is a joke and a big mistake at HC.
Link - ( New Window )

just annihilated Flowers.

go stick it.

What does he get from saying the line sucks?

Blame has to fall somewhere, and he knows who can take it and ethno can't. Parcells did the same shit.

Also true.

A reporter asked about the delay of game penalty, and McAdoo blamed 'sloppy QB play' and said the QB and center had to be on the same page.

Considering Eli has been having those delay of game issues for a long time, maybe he's got a point on that.

Is the fact they blame the Offensive Line talent (Which is absolutely 100% justified to a degree) while also wanting to point the finger on Eli as playing bad when he has zero running game or time to throw due to the same horrid offensive line that they use as an excuse for McAdoo.

I would have been kicking a FG anyway in that spot, so not the pivotal moment of the game if you ask me.

He also harped on the pick several times and made it clear Eli had several options on the 4th down play to Vereen. Just subtle things where he didn't point other specific negatives out when there were millions to chose from.

i disagree he took long to make the decision and when he finally got the call in clock was down...if you take a while to make the decision and get a call in...burn a timeout youre the coach...he has too much on his plate. normally the OC gets his call ready as the coach is deciding....once the coach says go the OC immediately gets the call in...he CANT do both

Montana, I do find it interesting that fans understand the OL stinks, but blame the qb in the same breath

Just watched it, I didn't think he through Eli under the bus. Mentioned a lot of times about the duress he was under. Yes he hated the Int, but so did I. He also seemed to signal OL changes, basically saying everything is on the table.

So, Mac is a piece of shit for throwing his QB under the bus, while not having the sense to know the importance of the situation and realize that coaches can call time outs too? I would agree. I have been sick of this blame Eli bullshit since it started last year.

It's not just the pressure on him, its that he has nothing, nada, zip of a running game to help set anything up. He is on an island out there with nothing to help him
