Baldinger had the tape out again this morning. Man, is it bad.
PLAY 1 - Giants 3 play offense on 1st/20 consist of 2 quick hitch throws and a dump down. Result = punt

.@Giants on 1-20 this is their offense. This is a 3 play series. I can’t ever remember this Pillar of a Franchise looking so futile. #BaldysBreakdowns |
PLAY 2 - Giants on 2nd/5 line up Simonson one on one with Derek Barnett (WTF?) on an 5 step drop by Eli. The result, Eli is hit, ball wobbles, pass incomplete, potential for INT.

.@Giants #gmen #giants when you put this lousy Gameplan together who thought this was a good idea? SCOTT Simonson v #DerekBarnett. Barnett wins this 1 on 1 100/100 times. What benefit was there to go “unbalanced” here? #BaldysBreakdowns |
PLAY 3 - Giants on 3rd and 15 do not challenge the sticks at all. Give up play.

.@Giants I will never understand this mentality. On 3-15 do you have to do EXACTLY what the @eagles want you to do. Not all the time but maybe just maybe you will challenge this picket fence. #BaldysBreakdowns |
PLAY 4 - Solder gives up pressure to Bennett. Eli has two hands on the ball as Bennett gets there, but still manages to fumble the ball.

.@Giants had an INT and a Fumble at their 1 yard line in the first 9 snaps. #Bennett lives for hunting season . 9 plays 2 costly errors. This is bad football. #BaldysBreakdowns |
He is a problem. Along with plenty of other things.
The flaws in the gameplay from week to week that Baldy has exposes has been the most eye opening thing for me. Usually things that the average fan doesn't see.
Bold.
He shouldn't. Wasn't he 3rd on your list behind Patricia and McDaniels? The Giants themselves sort of settled for him knowing that they needed to fill the role but I think deep down they have always known that he wasn't the guy.
There just wasn't a quality coach out there to be had during the 2018 offseason. Giving Shurmur a 2nd year would be a mistake. The guy is 11-28 as a head coach.
I can see the Giants going for John Defillipo this offseason and making a run at Lincoln Riley as well
How can this OL be so inept year after year?
The Solder play? That would happen with the Patriots, but Tom would step up and around....and yet we gave this guy 22M this year.....
The bad hires made in the off-season will set this franchise back 5 years.
OBJ and Barkley will be retiring by the time this team gets right.
For example, you can criticize the dump offs, but not really when the eagles have a seven man picket fence on a 3rd and 10 plus. Eli does not have the time to pass the ball 25 yards down field, it is a very low percentage play, so you dump it off to your best player (Barkley in the first instance and Beckham in the second) and hope for the best. They were close both times.
The Giants are not a good team, and the think to criticize are the plays that got them into those 3rd and 15, 3rd and 20 situations.
These cross field throws take so long to develop
Eagles were licking there chops .
Plays that have no chance of breaking 10 yards unless
Barkley has room to abuse the first tackler .
Otherwise Philly best defense in the NFL vs the run .
They swarm to the ball .
Where were the slants ?
Lattimer poorly under used OBJ poorly over used .
TE invisible .
Bold.
Aikman blamed him on the broadcast too. Basically said, yeah, but it happens way too much with Eli. Agree. Not all his fault, but he’s inside the 5 so he has to know to at least protect the football. Bad job by Eli.
a weakness its the same bunch of plays and rarely does the
ball travel more than 10 yards .
The run game gets abandoned after 10 points down.
Bold.
I see the same thing, he saw the pressure and didnt secure the ball. The problem is Eli cannot move, most QB's would have move up to the left.
On the video analysis where the Giants throw short 3X in a row, notice how long it takes Eli's ball to get out there to Lattimor on 2nd down. It was look watching Chad Pennington. Just no zip.

I've noticed that as well
I don't know, but OBJ just doesn't seem as dynamic to me as he normally is in last night's game. Also Shep seems to do something stupid 1x a game as well (like blocking in the back).
Hey, you know what makes sense! Imagine we put our highest paid OL and big FA signing on the OTHER side of the line, because we'll fool them!
But.. who plays LT then?
Get this.. ready? Are you ready? Okay.. okay.. Scott Simonson!!!
MENSA Award goes to...

I was trying to give the benefit of the doubt because of the conditions. None of the balls he threw last night looked tight or with any zip.
But Iooking back at other games earlier today I saw similar issues...
