DeVonta Smith’s frustration boils over

US1 Giants : 11/29/2021 3:13 pm
Quote:
The Eagles had one last gasp, though. And before the fourth down, Smith went over to coach Nick Sirianni and requested a play in which he would be the No. 1 option. The rookie’s animated gestures suggested he really wanted this to happen.

“He wants the ball in a critical situation like that,” Sirianni said.

Smith didn’t get it, Reagor did, and he dropped it.

Smith called for the ball

and looked like he was open, but it was hard to see if there were any safeties in position to make a play on the gamecast.
I liked that the Giants Offensive MVP is a Philly kid and he

basically beat his hometown team with a TD catch and a crucial first down catch.

Kind of takes the sting away a little with Smith.

Now if Toney can become a star.....and we actually do something good with Chicago's first rounder next year, I will be smiling wide to all my Eagle fan buddies.

he appears to have a step...

...and I don't think there was going to be safety help as he cut clear across the field.

But Hurts still has to get him the ball and Bradberry could have made up some time depending on the throw.
Considering we've lost two games this year

one because of an offsides on a FG, and one because our own WR dropped a catchable TD, I'm really not going to sweat it that we probably won yesterday only because Hurts missed a wide open receiver and Reagor dropped a gimmie TD.

The universe owes us a few of these games, if you ask me.

fwiw, Some of the beat writers

said Bradberry did a great job blanketing Smith all game and, also, that he wasn't quite as "wide" open as claimed on that pass at the end.
It is crap...  
EricJ : 11/29/2021 4:15 pm : link
not seen initially on screen was McKinney shading to that side of the field essentially waiting (and possibly baiting) the QB to throw to Smith.
Smith is at least on the field.  
Dave in Hoboken : 11/29/2021 4:21 pm : link
Toney, as usual, is not.
He should have been a Giant.  
TC : 11/29/2021 5:11 pm : link
That way, he could be not thrown to as a Giant, instead of as an Eagle!

Like I mentioned on the other thread.

And neither are our 2022 #1 and #4 draft picks.

Smith can bitch all he wants  
JohnB : 11/29/2021 5:38 pm : link
But Hurts made the right call and delivered to ball right on target. That last play was run to perfection except for, of course, the catch.

OK, that made me laugh

SFGFNCGiantsFan : 11/29/2021 7:09 pm : link
I don't blame Smith, though if I was him I'd keep that in house. And I don't watch a lot of Eagles games, but Reagor screams bust to me after yesterday. Dude has to make those catches.
Since it was an Eagles game, I had visions of the worst way  
jhibb : 11/29/2021 7:53 pm : link
the Giants would end up losing. And since I was one of those who was initially very bummed that the Eagles snagged him in the draft, somewhere near the top of the list was D. Smith scoring a last second TD.

I think I convinced myself that it would happen so much that I was actually surprised it didn't.
We have lost so many games at the last second  
Batenhorst7 : 11/30/2021 11:02 am : link
and to the Eagles

For once the football gods were on our side

Be thankful

And it was not an easy catch, it was a wobbling duck and high

Would Smith have snagged it....probably but it wasn't his to try for

Personally I thought our missed FG would eventually be our demise

It was high and it was a wobbly duck (although Reagor should have had it). There were four Giants in the area, I am not really sure how nobody made a play to front him or for the ball themselves. Just a weird play.

I know I could not believe my eyes as the ball slithered to the ground

then again our kick missed wide left by a foot....that would have made the catch meaningless except for the bettors out there....ball seemed to catch some wind it looked good halfway there
In the please be true category there is a lot of talk that Rwagor is
