  1. I completely concur. I think Coughlin masked McAdoo's issues well and now we are witnessing the real ineptitude. Many posters on reddit blame Sullivan but McAdoo is the HC and can get him to call whatever system and plays he wants. This is definitely McAdoo's system and it's garbage. Also my favourite picture/cringe is the "blocking" on that jailbreak at the goal line. The circle red is the only blocker Pugh. It'd be comical if it weren't so sad.
  2. Good analysis on game: https://www.reddit.com/r/NYGiants/comments/6zkfsc/eli_or_the_o_line_or_the_play_calling_i_went/ TL;DR that I am taking from the comments: OL is bad but not insurmountably bad Eli is skittish and taking as few chances as possible Eli owes Marshall an apology
  3. Coughlin as coach running mostly his system also. This is McAdoo's system now and it's garbage with or without OBJ. Expecting OBJ to turn 7 yard slants into touchdowns is asinine. This is why the Giants have now scored less than 20 points in 7 straight games with OBJ in 6 of those. The current problem with Eli is that this system uses his weaknesses and diminishes his strengths. Eli is basically Favre where he'll pitch the ball all over the field and get INTs but also bomb for a quick TD strike. In this system Eli is Alex Smith and that's not Eli's game at all. Eli looks terrible because he's playing a style that doesn't suit him. Eli is the definition of square peg being jammed into a round hole.
  4. I was just talking about this with a colleague. That's definitively going to fuck up their seasons.
  5. He has $95 million reasons to stay. I doubt he gets that kind of guarantee anywhere else.
  6. Jones is going to take his spot. When Jones is in the OLine is much better.
  7. Because perhaps other events on other days are held at stadiums?
  8. That guy is going to be getting a job within minutes. He bailed the Panthers out of cap hell and built a team to the SB. Apparently Richardson is upset that Gettleman was playing hardball with Davis and Olsen. Also there is rumour that Richardson was butt hurt about the Norman release. If true sucks to be a Panthers fan because they're about to go into cap hell again.
  9. The iron man will get him in baring any change. He's already 8th in yards and will be 6th by the end of the year. If he plays into his 40s he'll pass Marino. It's going to be impossible to keep out a top 5 QB with 2 SB MVPs out. Maybe not first ballot but he'll be in. Also for all the love Rivers and Roethlisberger get Eli has move yards, completions and TDs.
  10. You're not. ESPN has been tanking and bringing Disney stock down with it.
  11. https://twitter.com/MoveTheSticks/status/872288691862904833
  12. Definitely, remember Nassib the saviour...remember.
  13. Also took the best possible degree for an athlete; finance.
  14. Like the year Eli didn't make the list and the next year won the super bowl. The whole list is joke.
  15. Russell's problem though was between the ears which is basically impossible to draft for. If he had applied himself he could very well have been the next Marino. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap1000000210130/article/jamarcus-russell-and-the-raiders-blank-dvd-caper
  16. Only because they are given many more chances than a 5th rounder. If you don't flash as a 5th rounder within 2 years you will be cut. There is much less margin for error on the players part the later you are drafted. A first rounder will be given much longer to succeed.
  17. We can argue this forever but Herc already stated the real issue and it's not the coaching. We all love to bash Gilbride but Boss was the leading receiver in that game. Losing Burress would be like losing OBJ last year. There was nobody that could replace him on that team (sadly Hixon or Toomer weren't going to get it done). Also it's 4 INTs because Smith had a fumble.
  18. This again. Total Yards: PHI 276 NYG 307 Possession: PHI 29:45 NYG 30:15 Turnovers: PHI 2 NYG 3 Yards Passing: PHI 217 NYG 169 Passing Attempts: McNabb 40 Eli 29 Yards Rushing: PHI 59 NYG 138 So riddle me this; how did McNabb throw more and for less YPP (5.4 to Eli's 5.8) and win the game? Also the Giants more than doubled the Eagles rushing yards. Stupid Gilbride.
  19. Bite your tongue. Eli getting injured is a lock. Fear the beard.
  20. A boring FA period. Also Belichick is a god damn savant. How do you win a SB with $55 million in cap space?
  21. He's been the most productive receiver in football over the last decade; 921 receptions and 11,752 yards. Now think of how bad those teams he played on were. Great signing by the Giants and hopefully Marshall helps OBJ with his mental game also.
  22. The multi-year contract is going to take forever because I can guarantee he's going to want Vernon money. I'm looking forward to the JPP training camp holdout.
