the worst day in Giants history in some time, and it seems the end of the Eli Manning era in New York.
The Giants are 0-5, without OBJr and with a daunting schedule in front of them. This team is toast and it's unfortunate because we all had such high hopes for this season.
I love Eli as much as the next guy, but at this point in his career he is not a difference maker nor is he the future. I know Eli has his streak thing, but that should be secondary to what our future needs are. We should start Webb at some point to see what we have in him headed into next year.
I would love to trade Eli down to Jax and grab a draft pick or two if possible, but who knows what the front office is thinking at this point.
I must say that if there was any year to tank this might be a good year given the QB talent coming out next year.
you know Mara will not..he wants "continuity" and wouldn't be at all surprised if he's not really as upset about any of this as the fans. in fact, may be saying just a few more pieces to roster and all is well
Jacksonville is 3-2 with two young quarterbacks, what makes you believe they would surrender a high pick for a 39 year old immobile quarterback.
The Giants have 11 games left, the GM, many of the players and possibly the coach are playing for theirs jobs.
They will play the guys they believe will give them the best chance to win.
Fans can write off a season, those guys cannot.
We're not going to have more than 4 wins this season (4 might be a stretch), so we'll be in prime position to take a QB. I seriously doubt that anything we see from Webb this season will stop us from doing that.
I also want Wayne Gallman to play more. Evan Engram needs to be featured in the offense more than he has been to this point. Every 2 and 3 TE play we have in the offense needs to be dusted off.

What QB are you watching? Eli is 36.
Not sure other wrs are going to want to go across the middle when obj and ss both decimated by high over the middle throws
I wasn't aware the word "could" was redefined to mean "will" but nice try.
With that said, I think there will be forced changes to the staff, possibly OC, Oline coach, and possibly a few others, even on D. I think the offensive scheme has to be reworked by an OC that is experienced in this league. Possibly even player personnel in front office, namely Ross. I also think they need someone to help the scouts, a consultant, to look at LBers and Oline because we have been horrendous at selecting them.
After next year, the whole thing will get blown up and we start all over. That could spell some more dark days ahead however.
With all the injuries to WR now they probably don't expect the team to win many games if any this year. And I don't think that can be put on the coach.
However, the owners certainly will look for evidence this team has quit and if MacAdoo can't keep the players focused then he may well be fired.
My only concern is that with the limited weapons Eli will now have, he may end up getting killed. I am praying they just run the ball the rest of the way and do something to ensure our QB is protected.

1. Eli is 36 not 39.
2. He has history with TC.
3. Jax QBs are garbage.
The bigger question is if Eli will allow a trade if there is interest.
