Eli incomplete to Vereen

Route 9 : 11/23/2017 11:23 pm
I figured someone would've started a thread already about this play. Break out the swords!

He either doinks it in the dirt or he makes an awesome throw and the receivers drop it. Can’t win either way. Yawn!
Like our entire season on offense...  
wma31 : 11/23/2017 11:27 pm : link
Looked like two people expecting two different things. Eli seemed to think he would keep going. Vereen seemed to stop or slow down.

Par for the course with this offense.
Eli has no touch  
Thunderstruck27 : 11/23/2017 11:27 pm : link
Nothing new. He's been putting them in the dirt or air mailing them from 5 yards out most of his career. That's why he's a horrible fit for a wco

Or that Eli missed a wide open Receiver.

Has not been able to consistently complete short touch passes, or screens his entire career. QB of that caliber should be able to do better.
Does Eli have to be perfect?  
trueblueinpw : 11/23/2017 11:29 pm : link
For the offense to work? Just wondering cause maybe he missed a few throws tonight but is that the whole fucking problem? This Washington team had the 24th (?) rush defense and we can out throwing. Why? Because our passing attack has been so good? I guess. Washington had one good receiver out there. So we man up Ross Cockrell on him. This is the worst coaching staff in the NFL.

Awful shit.

BigBluesman : 11/23/2017 11:49 pm : link
cannot make the short throw. His misses were about equal to the drops. I love the guy and all he has done for the team over the years but he is currently making a bad team worse. All they have is short throws with the players left and he cannot make the short throw!
He's done and I am tired of saying it for the past

That throw to Vereen wasn’t easy. Go back and look at the tape and you’ll see Kerrigan (I think) right in Eli’s face with a hand and the RT right on top of Eli spinning away after the errant toss. He was under pressure. There was a toss into the dirt by Eli late in the game which was a big miss and a bad throw in a critical part of the game. Eli isn’t perfect - I’ll give that up to anyone here - he misses some throws - but he’s playing with zero margin of error. Zero. We have the worst coaching staff in the NFL. The worst.

Saw this said in the game thread, that is so dumb... And how is this even a serious question? Eli ate too much fucking turkey before the god damn game, handful of awful throws. This one to Vereen and the one to Rudolph or Lewis Jr I forgot who, late in the game was just the two worst I have seen. Vereen reacted like we just missed a TD because it was one defender between him and the pylon but a awful throw and they can't even pick up the first down. What an awful game from this offense.

Square peg in a round hole and now that the wheels have come completely off MacHandley has been totally exposed watching him stand around dumb founded with no answer because the opposition has you clearly figured out before kickoff and you have no answers ,you then expect our star QB has to go out and try to make chicken soup out of chicken shit . The decision to anoint MacHandley is a fire able offense period .
Eli is not the problem  
GeorgeAdams33 : 11/24/2017 1:40 am : link
The receivers are the problem on offense. They are all playing like shit. As a group they are very inconsistent. King & Lewis have been here long enough. So has Darius Powe, but he is on the practice squad while Rudolph, who has been the weakest of the group, gets chance after chance to show us all again why he went undrafted.

On defense we need to get Hunter back at CB. I don't care about the 7th round pick we gave up for Cockrell, he is killing us and has to be benched. Deayon is not the answer either. At FS we need to play Adams because at least he does his job. Thompson sucks. He is always getting baited out of position and leaving a huge void in our defense that the other team wastes no time in exploiting. Let's not even discuss the play of these backup LBs......

I guess he went undrafted because he can catch the ball? Seems to be the only one left able to hang on to what comes his way. Yes he dropped one or two in that first game, but by and large, he catches balls his way.

If you look at the last 3 weeks

Virtually every reception the Giants have made has been a circus catch . What does that tell you about Eli? The passes to Vereen and Rudolph were terrible. Beyond terrible .
That was a terrible throw  
bigbluehoya : 11/24/2017 7:33 am : link
Doesn’t tell anything about whether he’s “done” or not; he’s done that his whole career on short passes to RBs. It’s always been a significant weakness for him.
He has too many significant weaknesses now

As I recall Eli missed two throws  
Scuzzlebutt : 11/24/2017 8:07 am : link
In this game and the one to Vereen appeared to be a miscommunication. Show me a game in which any QB does not miss on a couple of throws.

The issue is there are so few plays that are executed well enough for the QB to actually get a pass off without getting hit, and have a receiver open, and have the receiver catch the ball that every miss is magnified 100x.

This notion the Eli has been chronically inaccurate throughout his career and can’t play in a WCO is beyond ridiculous. The vast majority of his passes are right where they need to be. He is not perfect... no QB is perfect.
Yup that was a terrible throw. He missed him big time  
Andy in Halifax : 11/24/2017 8:08 am : link
But lets not act like Vereen was going to score, he has no ability to break a tackle. Probably the worst in the league at it.

The later throw, his arm was hit so can't fault him for that but the Vereen throw was baaaad.

I think Vereen has a good chance to score (50%) - only one man 7 or 8 yards away..if you are talking about the missed throw to Rudolph, Eli was not touched he just held it to long and threw it into the dirt - it looked like he was aiming it, not throwing it.

Depending on the coverage it is not always best to lead the receiver. Leading the receiver could put the receiver or the ball in harms way.
Pass to Vereeen indication Eli is "done"?  
baadbill : 11/24/2017 8:31 am : link
The Giant's top 5 draft position in the upcoming draft combined with Manning's age means the team must draft Manning's replacement. That would be true regardless of how well Manning has been playing.

However, Manning's pass to Vereen adds zero to the debate whether Manning is "done" or not. It was a horrible pass. But it was the same horrible pass he has been unable to throw his entire Giants' career. As such, it isn't an indication of anything new.
One disturbing play was a pass to King in the second half  
Elite Mobster #32 : 11/24/2017 8:35 am : link
Eli saw that King changed his route from an outside cut, because the outside was not open. King turned the pattern to an INSIDE CUT and was wide open. Eli saw he cut the pattern to the inside, but still threw the ball to the spot King was supposed to be according to the playbook. In that case Eli should have improvised. King was jumping up and down in frustration. Eli played terrible.

King ran the wrong route - period. Eli was throwing to the sticks for a 1st down. Eli has to throw early so that the ball is there as King comes out of the cut and before the DB can react or break on the ball. This is not even a question.

Just stop JC. Your and Britt's blind defense of Eli is just tired. He is terrible at this point. I posted this in another thread, but SportsCenter pointed out this morning that Jenkins had more yards on his pick 6 than the Giants offense had in the 2nd half. Just pathetic. 113 yards, no TDs and a pick. But of course you will just blame everyone else.

If careers are an arc, then isn't this 2005 Eli? He is done man. Stop blaming everyone else. And for the love of god, when someone disagrees with you, stop telling them to "go root for the Eagles". We can be Giants fans and agree that Eli sucks.

Hahah. Again, you can't help yourself. "Take credence in what they say on Sportscenter". It is fact. Jenkins had more yards on his pick six then the Giants offense had in the 2nd half.

"Something an eagles fan would say". Again, this is all you do. I am a huge Giants fan, just like you. I don't care who is calling plays, blocking or catching passes. Eli has been terrible this year, and he was below average last year. I don't know what to tell you at this point, you will just refuse to see it.

I agree that Britt is an excellent poster. While I disagree with Britt's views on Eli, there is always convincing argument and data. You just tell everyone to root for the eagles.

The offense having a poor showing does not directly correlate to “Eli is done”. Did you notice how many times Eli was getting hit before he got to his third step or the perfect passes that were dropped or the inability to establish the run game? That’s all on Eli?

Football is a team game. Have you noticed Dak Prescott’s play over the last couple of games? He was the ESPN darling up until now.
NYG is totally Correct -  
Elite Mobster #32 : 11/24/2017 2:26 pm : link
We love Eli but he hasn't been able to improvise.
He did use a pump fake move early in the game, which pulled defenders out of position so he could throw behind them.

He forgets most of his savvy veteran techniques, and plays like a rookie on the next series. No more pump fakes. Telegraphing his passes, no movement in the pocket to open space to see down field. No running for the first down if its open. Falling down with out being knocked down. He's Looking for a Clean pocket that don't exist as often anymore. Most of the sacks yesterday is because Eli held the ball to long.

A QB has about 4- 5 seconds to throw and Eli is in the Shot Gun. His TD to Interception rate is very respectable, and he doesn't get hurt, but he is taking on a throw and duck type follow through and that effects the trajectory of the passes he throws. Cant blame this on the receivers or the line. He had the best this year. I wonder if we could see what the young guy Webb can do before Draft time. We can not make Eli's Iron Man starts record more important then what we need to find out.

In the case Tavarres King the pass route designed for to be cut to the outside was not open the receiver cut to an open area which is intelligent, Eli could improvise in cases like that or maybe someone else can.

I didn't see the play live and reading this thread it seemed like this play "cemented " the narrative that "Eli is finished"...

Holy shit a lot of you need to rewatch...while it wasn't a great throw it wasn't the shitshow its being portrayed as...

Wheeler got beaten bad by Kerrigan (again as he was being abused the whole game)...in fact Kerrigan hit Eli in the chest as he threw...

It definitely seemed like Vereen was going to run a short out and Eli threw it as a skinny flag but the play had no chance because as usual the timing was all fucked up by another breakdown by the OL...

EE and WR dropsies  
idiotsavant : 11/25/2017 7:17 pm : link
And prior WR injuries partially result from a system that at times treats wrs like running backs. Dbacks sitting back on the routes waiting to hammer them. Short time window, less play action, less time for routes to develop.

Some of these short passes are also obvious pick six risks. Which. Is something you want to avoid if your putting the game in the hands of the defense. Complimentary style.

If it's a short 6 yard pass near the left side line, LOS at your own 25...with three defenders in the area... Throwing it away looks fairly rational.
King play maybe.
