Booger McFarland with the quote of the night...

sxdxca : 11/13/2018 1:16 am
"Outside of his two super bowl runs, Eli Manning has never made the playoffs." Absolutely classic, brilliant quote Booger. Please enlighten us all with your deep insight and wisdom.

Then it gets even better, after he says this, the other announcers have to correct him, letting him know that Eli Manning made the playoffs prior to and after his super bowl runs, but he didn't win those.

Whatever ESPN is paying you Booger, I say double it, you're worth every penny.
He hates the Giants  
uconngiant : 11/13/2018 1:18 am : link
his insight, if you want to call it that is below par at best. I think anyone could do his job and do it better
They've brought First Take to the booth.  
jogo1 : 11/13/2018 1:37 am : link
Witten and Booger having opposing view points on every single issue isn't a coincidence--it's all scripted, and it makes these MNF games a chore to watch.
This is a shitty, shitty post...as usual from sxdxca  
chopperhatch : 11/13/2018 1:45 am : link
Booger was immediately corrected. He MEANT to say that the only playoff wins by Eli were during his Super Bowl years. So while not totally astute, he probably misspoke.

I hate absolutely all of your posts. You are a horrible addition to the site.
sheesh  
hassan : 11/13/2018 3:04 am : link
what is with the posters here. he clearly misspoke but his general point was he hasn’t won other than the sb runs in the playoffs.
The thing that people fail to mention when criticizing Eli...  
Milton : 11/13/2018 3:39 am : link
He was money in the 2016 playoff game vs the Packers in Green Bay. He wasn't the reason they lost that game. And that wasn't ages ago, it was less than two years ago.

Last year all his receivers were lost to injury and his rookie TE was as much a liability as he was an asset. Oh--and his OL sucked. Tom Brady wouldn't've managed any more victories out of that team than Eli did.

This year we have a new offense and lots of moving parts along the OL, putting him in a situation that highlights the weaknesses to his game rather than the strengths. That's neither his fault nor Shurmur's, it's just the current reality that the team faces.

Eli has his limitations and he may not be part of the solution going forward, but he is also not the problem. If he were piloting the Rams or Chiefs offense this year, the conversation wouldn't be about replacing him, it would be about Super Bowls and the Hall of Fame.
yeah  
Allen in CNJ : 11/13/2018 4:56 am : link
that one had my blood boiling... he's a moron... that broadcast is horrible - they spend more time promoing the BIG (lol) Chiefs Rams game next week then they actually do analyzing this game... Typical ESPN nonsense
McFarland and Witten did not get their jobs based on merit  
JohnB : 11/13/2018 5:44 am : link
.
He sounds more intelligent and complimentary of Eli  
mfsd : 11/13/2018 5:54 am : link
than a good number of posters here.
I mentioned that on the game thread ...  
short lease : 11/13/2018 6:37 am : link
in the form of a question. I couldn't believe he made that statement? They pay him .... or is he a volunteer? If he is working for free - he is forgiven. (sarcasm /off)

That is unacceptable from a paid professional working on the only game of the the day (night). You would think he would have been better prepared than that.
Whitten was good  
Paulie Walnuts : 11/13/2018 6:37 am : link
Booger is trash
I was irate when he said that  
HoustonGiant : 11/13/2018 6:47 am : link
Then Whitten and the co-host quickly corrected him and proceeded to go on about how he's do much more then a guy that got hot twice.

Booger is just that....
What bothered me more  
Mike in NY : 11/13/2018 6:53 am : link
Was Booger clearly supporting his former teammate (John Lynch)

He talks way too much. Thank God he's not in the booth or

It’s not the first time

McFarland has dumped on Eli Manning. Wonder why he doesn’t like Eli.
Booger  
Lines of Scrimmage : 11/13/2018 7:31 am : link
In fairness to him, he summed up after the game something like Eli can still get the job done. He just needs a little more help at this point which is fair to highlight. Witten, on the other hand had seen Eli deliver many times against his Cowboys in the big spot. I believe 2011 against the Cowboys was for the Division title and playoffs.
I heard that too and was just shaking my head...  
bradshaw44 : 11/13/2018 7:33 am : link
But did anyone notice when Witten was disagreeing and talking about all the great teams Eli had to beat on the way to those rings, he conveniently left out Dallas.
I didn’t have a problem with McFarland...  
bw in dc : 11/13/2018 7:35 am : link
taking his anti-HoF position. Hell, the guys in the both started it with Eli’s W/L record; and showing it versus Joe Namath’s record, who is the only QB in Canton with a losing record. And it’s certainly a polarizing issue. So the topic is worthwhile.

The problem was getting it wrong about Eli’s overall playoff appearances record. That sounded very unprepared. But it got corrected, which was good.

The larger problem is the dynamics of this broadcast team. I think they are laughably bad. They commit a huge sin by never letting the game breath. Someone is always saying something. They make Captain Obvious look insightful.

+1 Also there is the forgotten 2008 season when he was QBing the best team in football through 12 games then Plax decides to shoot himself.
He meant to say he has never won a playoff game

ATL_Giants : 11/13/2018 8:39 am : link
he wouldn't vote Eli into the HOF. It's like he's just trying to stir shit up, grasp for controversial talking points, or just be an Eli hater.

I was happy to hear Witten disagree with him there.
My TV is programmed to go mute as soon as Booger

are you really going to get upset by what a man, who goes by the name "Booger" and drives the "booger mobile," says?

I hope not.

Eli is in. End of story.

Was much more insightful
Eli absolutely should be in  
RollBlue : 11/13/2018 9:43 am : link
the Hall of Fame. However, he is one of the reasons the Giants are 5-20 over the past 2 years. I wasn't sure until the end of last year. It's really clear now. Hopefully a good QB can be had in next year's draft.
Really pissed me off too  
Howyadoin : 11/13/2018 9:43 am : link
Then I thought to myself...that's why they named him BOOGER and put his ass in a crane and why he's not allowed in the booth. Felt good to hear Witten supporting ELI though, real gentleman.

Number of playoff wins  
Daniel in Kentucky : 11/13/2018 10:31 am : link
Eli Manning 8
Steve Young 8
Dan Marino 8

Thanks Booger.
Eli never won a Super Bowl except for the two he won.

Besides that he won Zero.

How do you know what he meant to say? Maybe he said exactly what he wanted but was just mistaken.

If I remember right he was corrected by the other guys and accepted their correction without saying anything like " that's what I meant".

Yeah, how did the GOAT look last Sun when he got his ass kicked? Tough to perform when you're on your back, F Brady!
I think Booger shat on Eli out of personal bias  
FranknWeezer : 11/13/2018 1:17 pm : link
He's an LSU guy and Eli played for Ole Miss. LSU and Ole Miss fans are like oil and water, especially with football. Just my take.

After 6 consecutive wins, the GOAT was beat by a hot Titans team and is a paltry 7-3 now. He's played 4+ games without Edelman, Gronk has missed over a month, and Sony Michel missed 3 games. They went and acquired Josh Gordon after Chris Hogan was a complete bust at the position, and despite reports of Gordon showing up late to meetings, limited in practices all year with hammy and other issues - Brady is making him look like vintage Flash out there.

Again, this isnt a knock on Eli... but lets stop playing make believe that Brady wouldnt win games with this roster. Of course he fucking would... he's the best QB this game has ever seen.

clatterbuck : 11/13/2018 2:11 pm : link
last night. Witten may have a future with more experience. Tessitore hyperventilates too much and McFarland is flat out awful. The combination amplifies their individual faults.
Even if Booger misspoke, why are we letting him off the hook?  
BestFeature : 11/13/2018 2:40 pm : link
Your job description is an analyst is to NOT misspeak. And he could barely put two words together on a regular basis. Some people hate the OP so much they'd defend Booger, even though he's absolutely awful.

That’s total BS and a knock on Eli, when you get knocked on your ass in less than two secs you’re not gonna accomplish much, like scoring only 10 points against the Titans. Same as the two SB s when he scored 14 and 17 points and lost. So he may be the goat but don’t try and sell me he would have won with this team is total crap.. Like he is some kind of miracle worker and would magically buy time, he is no more mobile than Eli. So save that Brady worship for a Pats site.
