Eli needs a good showing tonight

I'd agree, but you see what a s..t show it is when they try to run. As often as not, SB is snowed under behind the LOS. It is astounding how porous the OL is when they move FORWARD, TRY to move the DL forward. Mind boggling, but we see it game after game, the same.

What I've been begging this stupid coach to do, run the god damn football more than 30% of the time. We pass more than any team in the league, it's absolutely mystifying to me that our horrid OL and up and down QB are asked to carry this offense by throwing 70% of the time.

Probably because the run blocking is the worst in the NFL.

Barkley is getting hit at or behind the LOS on nearly every carry. I'd like to see more of a commit to the run too - but we're probably just going to see more 3 and outs (if that's possible) by setting up 2nd/3rd and longs constantly by getting stuffed for no gain or a loss on 1st down carries.

I'd like to see some more outside/off tackle runs. Even a few tosses. We obviously can't run anywhere near the A gaps because the interior is just getting driven backwards.

I wouldn't run to the right often, either - Wheeler is awful.

Best bet is to try running behind Solder/Hernandez more often.

I do not expect that to happen, but dare to dream. Not to defend Eli, but the Giants were one 63 yard miss away from Eli's best game in awhile, against a Texan team that is now a winning team, and 30 plus point output with two 4th quarter TD'S for a comeback win. I know this team sucks, but who knows what happens if that kick misses, that was a brutal loss. That was against Carolina not Houston.

Yes, the Carolina win would have come right after the Houston win. Piggybacking good games from the offense including breaking the 30 point plateu in a comeback win.

Also, it boggles my mind the Giants pass so much. I know they o line gets blown up and many runs are for losses, but how do you air it out 51 times last week when Eli is getting drilled and it is a kne score game for so long.

Unless the team really looks better in the second half, I have seen enough of Shurmur and I think he will likely crash and burn.

The whole damn team needs a good showing. About the only one who gets a pass is Barkley

Barkley could still break big one, it at least forces opposition to think about the run. May allow for more effective play action or at least not allow the d line to be fresh and just rush eli the stationary target.

Also, plan to use players and formations in a way more favorable to line it up and run. It is madness to keep airing it out and frankly Eli, I know loses all time now, is the only guy who can not get injured with the battering he takes.

is another question...quick opener, trap, instead of the slow to develop shot gun

I'd like to see him start showing something. Where is the creativity? Where is having the team play above its capabilities? Would a Andy Reid get more out this years Giants offense? At least TC was still getting points on the scoreboard with much more success.

To justify Eli's poor performance. I could not care less how he plays tonight. I know it will be a mixed performance with a lot of yards yet very little scoring. He needed to go to years ago...but here we are

It is amazing, some moron called the FAN today and tried to argue that Alex Smith’s career was better than Eli’s and the giants would have been better off with him. Please make it stop!
