and it goes beyond the atrocious line of scrimmage. The play calling is simplistic and predictable, and the defense is being left out to dry by the ineptitude.
But, this team looks different from last year and for the better. To me they do not look lost as much as they did last year and they are actually trying this year. It is probably going to take a couple more drafts of high picks. The problem is we (Eli) doesn't have that kind of time.
The team needs to build from inside out. You can’t win in the nfl without pass rushers and guys who can move people on O. A mobile web would also help.

Romo all you want.
But he is damn right about the OL.
This OL cannot give Eli the time to go down the field.
So you can blame Eli or the playcalling all you want
But this offense is going no where with this OL.
You can have all the toys you want on offense but the basic fetal error in this offense and thats the OL.
Shurmur said as much after they drafted Hernandez. "If you can't block them, nothing works." We can't block anybody. Four and five DL are controlling our OL, so Eli is constantly forced to check down because he's constantly throwing against six or seven defenders.
The D simply got worn out, a problem that will likely happen earlier in games as the season progresses.
there are a few games I will say that have been blatantly affected Â
at home against the Saints. Its not just Eli, as the anti crowd wants you to believe. Its the play calling, the OL, Eli, and the WR's. Its everything, and it all needs to change

I also think this its by design. Shurmur knows the OL will NOT hold up for a 7 step drop. heck its having trouble even in shot gun formation.
So the basic design is lots of short quick throws...
His offense is the problem. He coaches with no balls. Conservative gameplans. Terrible hire
Totally agree. Mara and Tisch pulled the same move they did with McAdoo: picking an ‘offensive’ coach who relies on the defensive unit to win each and every game. Problem is that it is difficult to keep real NFL offensive units to lessthan 20 points over 60 minutes. If you don’t score points, you don’t win. If you don’t get first downs, you don’t score. Shurmur’s offensive requires 3-5 plays to move 10 or more yards.
they are changing what the coaches can call and what Eli can throw because they can't consistently block the defense. Doubt much is going to change about the oLine until next year anyway.
Not that it mattered except to increase frustration, but the officiating was a joke. Oh and CBS sucks.
Bad team

Still early in the season though.
Get a clue and get a QB next year with the top 3 draft pick coming.
They're bottom five. They're definitely not going anywhere this year. Top five to ten draft pick, perhaps?
*QB, not web lol
I thought this guy was a run heavy/play action? Terrible gameplan again.
How he got the money back on those timeouts.
How so? He pointed out everything wrong with the Giants all game. He’d be doing a better job than Shurmur honestly.
Romo was fine it’s the giants who suck

Yup exactly!!!!
Probably worst of the NfC East

A function of a terrible offensive line and a scared quarterback.
This team, even with all of its weapons, isn't going anywhere this season.
Cant get 20 points on one of the worst defenses in football...at home?

He had time today. The play calling and game plan was conservative. Scared to make a mistake
