Eli Manning’s incredible shelf life

LOL. Brady had a couple of notable "chuck and duck's" today, one for an INT and one to end the game. On local (Boston) talk radio tonight the hosts are calling the Patriots "frauds" that "are not going anywhere".

Not to Miller the thread, but I can't wait until the Pats miss the playoffs and all the fans jump ship.
I hope

the next Giants' QB will be as below average as Eli.
Yeah Eli cost us this game

Him and the run defense. The guy is absolutely cooked. He's absolutely awful right now. He literally needs everything to be perfect or he's hot garbage. When the line and Saquon play like they did last game he looks good. Half of BBI would look good under that circumstance.
His mental approach  
Sammo85 : 12/16/2018 9:31 pm : link
Is almost as bad as his physical decline. He is staring down his receivers all the time. He’s missing or making bad calls at the line. His decision making looks more and more like skittish Eli from his first four years than gambling and gunslinging Eli under Gilbride in his prime.

Everything has to be optimal for him to even be average or do some things.
Well both  
BBelle21 : 12/16/2018 9:32 pm : link
Saquon and Eli looked bad today. Oh, and the receivers. So does that mean Saquon is cooked too? Because he couldn’t overcome the Oline getting blown up. Or is it just Eli. Hmm

The Titans loaded up in the box to clog the gaps and stop Barkley. With suboptimal conditions, they didn’t fear Manning one bit and they were shown to be right.
He takes shit  
mittenedman : 12/16/2018 9:45 pm : link
but listen to a guy like Bruce Arians. He said continually throughout the game Eli was playing well and looking good for his 1st year in Shurmur's system. Trent Green agreed.

It's the rest of the offense that doesn't do its job. Today it was bad blocking, dumb penalties (none by Eli) and bush league drops.

As Green said, the QB gets too much credit when they win and too much blame when they lose.

Always everyone else’s fault.

Running scapegoat list for 6 years.
I guess  
mittenedman : 12/16/2018 9:52 pm : link
Arians is a moron too. He should read BBI and learn something.
We could have  
mittenedman : 12/16/2018 9:54 pm : link
Aaron Rodgers at QB. It wouldn't matter if the pass blocking was as bad as it is, the dumb penalties and the horrid drops.

Notice the Packers record right now. The QB can't save everybody.
Eric, please ban this Jackwagon.  
JerrysKids : 12/16/2018 10:06 pm : link
Obviously a Eagle or Cowboy fan trolling BBI.
Did Eli have a bad game?  
Doomster : 12/16/2018 10:10 pm : link
Absolutely....but the play calling, OL pass and run blocking, and the inability of SS to fight for balls, contributed too...

Can't anyone tell Eli, that he stares down receivers? He makes it so easy for DB's to go for the ball by telegraphing his throws...

But he has to be a better game manager.....trailing 7-0, in his own red zone, shifting the ball in his hands to attempt a pass instead of taking the sack, is inexcusable....

His throws were off.....how do you not throw the ball to the corner of the endzone where only EE can get it? He was wide open and it was too short....was it the wet ball or Eli?

Anyone that thinks Eli's arm strength has not deteriorated, is looking with blue tints.....He can get the ball from A to B, but it takes too long to get there....next year, he is another year older.....

Eli can still play, but not at a level that makes this team a contender....I think he is back next year, but don't expect more than 8-8....

Would the Giants extend him, even if they don't have a qb for the future? I don't think so....So DG, or whoever is in charge, has to think long and hard on paying someone 17M, and another season out of the playoffs....

Right. The OL wasn't even close to mediocre today. It all starts and ends there.

You really don't understand the sport, do you? Your posts are absolutely embarrassing.

No he doesnt. His sole point with a few other posters is post shit on Eli. He's an awful fan.

I mean jesus christ. We are asking a QB to win us a game in a downpour with his top WR out. Who the fuck thought he was going for 400 and 3 TDs?
Never forget...

We learned today that the OL  
Since1965 : 12/16/2018 11:29 pm : link
was good against mediocre defenses, but not good against a good one. That said, even with drafting for the OL, Manning is slow, and he can't buy time anymore to extend plays and make things happen. They won't win with him. They need a younger, more mobile QB if they want to get anywhere next year.

So the receivers were getting open, weren't dropping them, and the line did a fine job run blocking?

Ok.
Don't get it, Eli played the best he could  
micky : 12/17/2018 6:28 am : link
The line was shit, receivers couldnt hold onto a ball because of the weather, the defense? Was there one?

There's nothing more you could ask from Eli, the only good player on the field for the giants yesterday, aside from Barkley.

Actually not true at all. Eli did not cost us the game yesterday. We were losing no matter what. He made some terrible throws and decisions but he actually made some really good throws yesterday too.

The difference between you and I is I'm willing to give Eli credit when he plays well, you will defend him regardless of how he plays.
And I didnt say he played well  
dep026 : 12/17/2018 8:34 am : link
yesterday. Can you post where I did?

I'll see your Bruce Ariens and Trent Green  
WillieYoung : 12/17/2018 11:48 am : link
and raise you a CBS Sports.com:

"If the Giants are still thinking about letting Eli Manning be their starting quarterback in 2019, maybe film from this game will change their mind."

He threw an unbelievably bad screen to EE (10 yards over his head), a sure interception in the flat to Saquan that the defender never saw, airmailed an interception in the redzone trailing by 7, and fumbled the ball and then pushed it away like a little girl.

It wasn't all the offensive line's fault.
Eli won 2 SB’s and the other 13 years never won a playoff game  
joe48 : 12/17/2018 6:59 pm : link
Take off the rose colored glasses here and admit Eli’ inconsistency along with poor drafting contributed to this dismal strychnine of football.
When your Oline  
mrvax : 12/17/2018 7:18 pm : link
cannot pass or run block, your QB is screwed. C'mon folks, that's Football 101.
