Grits and Shins Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 (edited) Why the hell weren't they running the ball with Jacobs all night? Eli couldn't hit the broad side of a barn ... and when he did his WRs were dropping them.

joeyb7 Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Asking myself the same question. Perhaps he just trying to save face.....I'd rather save face by helping win the game as a team (handing off to Jacobs) rather than passing. The Giants will never win a superbowl with this guy.

xtra Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 8 minutes left in the game they are driving,he throws twice to Burress in the endzone then the 3rd time to smith I think.After they had been moving the ball on the on the ground.Earlier,3rd and short 4th and short they throw the ball? The play calling was horrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 He seems clueless out there. What a waste of talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Front Row Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Aw,... you guys are really mean. It's not Eli's fault, none of it ; the lack of accuracy, inconsistent touch or his apparent lack of leadership I tell you, It is the horrible o-line , putrid defense and a pi ss poor coach that make him look bad. Eli is just super duper. Just ask Swerski or Perch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eli couldn't hit the broad side of a barn ... and when he did his WRs were dropping them. I didn;t watch the second half because frankly I just couldn't take any more bad football, but at least early in the game Eli seemed to be throwing the ball well. Maybe not on the money every ball, but good enough throws that his team could have made some plays. The receivers really dropped the ball, figuratively and literally.

Grits and Shins Posted December 17, 2007 Author Share Posted December 17, 2007 And TWICE that knucklehead Sinorice Moss had a first down catch AND RUNS BACKWARDS and he doesn't get the first down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well ... in the 2nd half they showed a stat that said WRs had dropped 8 balls ... there are still 26 other incompletions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand, but dropped balls only represent the throws that the receiver had his hands on and dropped. From watching the first half I am saying that it looked like there was more than just dropped balls contributing to that stat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh 0ne Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Well ... in the 2nd half they showed a stat that said WRs had dropped 8 balls ... there are still 26 other incompletions. Gee, maybe the 50 mile/hour swirling winds had something to do with it as well. Listen, Eli blows, but bashing him for yesterday's performance is idiotic.

My point was not that Eli blows ... but more along the lines of what the hell were the Giants doing calling all those passing plays? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinys_hawks Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Well, if you noticed, they call alot of little dump plays that Eli should of completed. He tried to drill Jacobs, nearly took his head off. He's no Peyton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He tried to drill Jacobs, nearly took his head off. He's no Peyton Clearly Jacobs dropped several he should have caught (not the bullet to his head/shoulder). Toomer also dropped several. However, there were quite a few balls too high or behind the WR. In those weather conditions and with the run game working as well as it was ... they should have run the ball MUCH more. The draw to Jacobs from the shotgun was killing Washington ... I would have run that play until Washington proved they could stop it.

All three backs for the giants were running well in the parts pf the game I saw. Kevin Gilbride did not do a good job yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loyalboyd Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Eli is the man. He just had a hard time last night. With his wrs dropping passes. Then the wind was absoultely crazy. If you watched the game you would know he was trying really hard. But if you got wind problems and your wrs act like they are on a pee-wee sqaud catching the ball. You would have had the same results. But the wind was the biggest factor in passing. And this is coming from a person that need Eli to light it up to win. And I lost. By the way Brandon Jacobs needs a in home built jug machine. He drop 5 or more passes his damn self. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinys_hawks Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 That would of been great in the beginning of the game. But when you have to score and only have 5 minutes, you can't run the ball too much. You have to stop the clock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also made excuses for him for 2 years, but now that he hit the free agent market I feel FREE at last. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buddahj Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 f'in terrible. he'd have been better off trying to kick it to his WR's. i finally cut him loose earlier this week. he was bringing down the morale for the rest of my team.

Easy n Dirty Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 By the way Brandon Jacobs needs a in home built jug machine. He drop 5 or more passes his damn self. How could he even be in the game on passing downs? His hands were terrible, worst I've ever seen. I'd say 5 drops is generous, seemed like more.
