Tackling is fundamental.

I didn't get to watch the game (thank god) but what is with the running of Tiki again? Less than 20 carries again for good yardage and did BJ play at all? Is Archie making the play calls?

Damn you Toomer.

EA before the draft pointed out that pass rushing is key. He is right but too bad Lewis doesn't have clue what that means. With the Giants DLine it should be easy but somehow Lewis just can't figure it out. Look at the first Dallas game for what good pressure can do for an average D.

That is exactly what should have been done. The games that the Giants D has looked good is when the D goes all out. With the DLine that the Giants have making schemes to cause constant pressure should be a no brainer. Too bad Lewis has no brain and Huff is a moron. What kind of drive was that at the end of the game and why did Tiki have less than 20 carries again?

The Giants can't control anything unfortunately. Look for repeat of 2005.

We have all the time in the world to analyze while Tiki had a second to make a decision. Eli should never have thrown that duck and put Tiki in that lose lose situation.

I really hope that Coughlin is fired. No discipline team and horrible play calling. Can somebody tell Eli you can throw the ball away when pressured?

Didn't Osi sign a long term deal last year? Maybe it's all back ended. Jacobs deserves more money too. Are you sure this is the current payroll? Didn't Taylor retire?

No shit, are the refs on the take? Fucking crazy.

The Giants must win game has already come and gone. It's not going to be a playoff year.

We should keep Plax and when Toomer went down is when Eli went to shit. Toomer is the crisp route, possession receiver that this team is now lacking. The OC and DC need to go. If 90% of this MB wonders what the fuck is going on with the play calling then there is a serious problem. I know everybody is a Monday morning QB but the play calling is poor. When even the announcers are second guessing the play calling (almost every game) then there is deffinetly a major problem. With all the turmoil I can't imagine that TC or Huff or Lewis will be back. Neither can make adjustments. Also blaming injuries is a poor excuse. Every team has to deal with injuries.

The classic part was how her tone completely changed when she had to come out of the crowd.

First Strahan calls out Plax and then Owens admits his mistakes and sticks up for a teammate (well former). On a side note there should a thread in the bookie section on who is going to complain about the Giants team next. My bet is on Eli. Ohh wait Opie doesn't talk.

Vick's a running back that throws. Teams beat the Falcons by simply containing Vick's running. Also how many WRs do the Falcons have to go through before the real problem is addressed? I suppose in a business perspective though he is money.

That was crazy when Tyree just flies in out of nowhere. What's even crazier is that Tyree is only like 50 yards behind Carter and he was the 4th WR at one time. Toomer meant more than I think most people realized; maybe it's because he was actually trying. I swear Plax hates Eli or something.

Toomer gets injured and Eli turns into garbage. With Plax giving up on routes is there really a go to WR anymore? What the hell happened to Carter anyway? Is he worried about getting injured again or something? Tyree should be the number 2 WR.

A typical Giants team. The Giants beat the Giants, everything is as it should be. I am so used to this it hardly fazes me anymore. :brooding:

Where the fuck do they find these coaches? Tiki is retiring and they still can't find a reason to play? Next time Plax is laughing and smiling after a loss TC or Shockey should smack the shit out of him. Also Plax has obviously given up on Opie.

And there is the problem. The Giants consistently beat the Giants. It's the same shit all over again.

Really though he was fucked either way. To get that sack he would have had to throw Young to the ground and would have probably gotten a penalty. With what happened though a penalty would have been better. Fucking pansy rules are making D players hesitant.

He fell down because he knew it was the Giants last good chance. He was right and the rest of your post is dead on. Huff needs to be bitched slapped so that he will remember that running the ball is very necessary.

To be perfectly honest I think Plax has no faith whatsoever in Eli. Most of the times he is rolling his eyes or giving disgusted looks to Eli. Maybe he is just tired of the poor throws that he has to make circus catches for or the 10 yards away from him throws. I will admit he has attitude issues (as the announcers pointed out professionals never quit) but it seems he just can't stand the bad throws by Eli.

Sure if Eli threw it to him there. People seem to like bashing Plax but I cringe to think what this teams record would be without him. He has made some spectacular plays on some awful Eli throws.

I'm glad that I am not the only one who thinks the play calling is retarded at best. You could make a case for the Jags game that Tiki was shutdown (although it is really hard to get in a rhythm with 10 carries) but the Bears game was a major fuck up. Tiki was averaging like 5 yards a carry (even without the big run) and he still only gets 19 carries. Hell Jones got 30 with only 113 yards (3.7 yards per attempt); that's probably why the Bears are 9-1. Fucking ridiculous. If Tiki is tired then give Jacobs the other 10+ carries. I think that if your sitting at home and you wonder what is going on with the play calling then there is a serious coaching issues. Also on a side note I am not usually a huge Shockey fan but at least he gives a shit. It was nice to see somebody care about the pitiful O's performance.
