Smart move. Gomer is really awful right now and the OL will not help him at all. In fact, Gomer is done as an NFL QB. Throw the guy, that's fading, under the bus to buy more time to rebuild and save your own job. Lobby for the rebuild.
I'm dreading that game. We've got a bunch of people coming over to watch and I wish we could cancel. I'll be drinking triple old-fashioneds and will stay busy on the grill.
I hope they stop leaving him alone on an island over there. They have to chip with a RB on his side, line up a TE over there something, they just can't leave him on an island he isn't that goodGiants coach Ben McAdoo says the team is "absolutely" sticking with Ereck Flowers at left tackle for Week 3.
Rotowold: Flowers got his soul owned on Monday Night Football, single-handedly ending Ziggy Ansah's pass-rushing slump. He was whipped for three sacks, more or less torpedoing the Giants' offense. Flowers was just as bad in Week 1, as well as the preseason. The G-Men are running low on viable alternatives, but are likely nearing "anyone but Flowers" territory.

As expected, Eli taking a pragmatic, high road approach.
I'm hanging on, but I'm not optimistic. He looks like he lost the burst he had last season, and that o-line is epically bad. This is what's going to sink the Giants' SB chances: missing out on two 1st round tackles (Flowers and Pugh) have doomed this team to a wild card at best, and probably an 8-8 season.

hey is that Eli's problem or did the GM NOT get quality supporting cast for Eli other than OBJ? THEY CANT GET OPEN..I think Eli is pretty bad now but the wr's aare atrocious. Marshall? washed up. Shep? meh. Vereen? why was he even signed ? Perkins ? Darkwa? if either was cut are they picked up elsewhere? hell no.
QBs are in a touch. Too much credit for wins. Too much blame for loses. Is Eli perfect? No. Is Eli the source of the issues. not a chance in my opinion. He is being asked to do the impossible.
You would think but it will probably go more like this ...
If Reese is gone a competent GM like Gettleman is brought in (which I think is likely to happen) I think you'll start seeing drafts that address needs a bit more than "best available". Clearly that philosophy hasn't worked for several years, yet this regime sticks to it.
You have to take shots and pass when your running game is anemic at best. That had been the Giants undoing for the last few years, especially 2 years ago when they kept blowing leads.
Not when the game is tied, there are 5 minutes left, you have the ball, all you need is a FG to win and the short slants have been working all day. This was almost as bad as the Falcons in the SB. Why give the ball back when the time of possession isn't in your favor and the D is gassed?

Sure can't blame Eli for the loss on Sunday. As to his holding the ball too long I think they had a decent game plan to accommodate the weak O-line. Eli released the ball on average in about 1.8 seconds. That was a full 0.3 second faster than any other QB Sunday.
With you on this. I'm not sure what his stats were, but I was seeing the same thing you did. There was one play where he should have moved to plug a hole but inexplicably he took the other side right by his DL. I was like
Darkwa said he will play, he just has back tightness.
If they go after a RB I prefer they target someone younger. AP is a one to two year rental for a team that needs more help than just a RB. Let's face it. At 0-3, they have little chance of competing this year. I'd prefer to see them spend even less and go after guys like Corey Grant or TJ Yeldon from Jacksonville. Yeldon has been inactive the last few games so I don't see it costing a bunch to get him and Grant is electric every time he touches the ball. He looks like what the Giants hoped Perkins would be.
I'd like to have him but I think it's too late for him to help this year... he's not in football shape, different system, obviously looking for big $$ longer term contract and ... hes 32 so no way in the world I'd give up a 3rd round pick
They only need AP for this year... they need a big back that can break a tackle and create on his own. Yeldon is definitely not that guy ... Chris Ivory would be but I wouldn't want to give up much for a stop gap ... 5th rounder at the absolute most. I feel like NO would luv to get rid of AP for a 6 ...he doesn't seem like a good fit and they have 2 other solid backs
Why not Gallman? I've always thought if Darkwa was given a full workload he'd do well, but after all this time, it doesn't look like it's going to happen.
Oh, I know they won't change in season. But I felt they took the half step when they ditched Coughlin. At the time I felt they tabbed the wrong guy. Which, from me, was saying a lot as I was very skeptical of Coughlin when he came in. I felt he was a kind of a one trick pony, but he learned, amended his ways but still hung on to his core values and eventually became a great coach. By keeping Reese I felt they kept the ultimate root of the problem. Nothing I've seen in the next two years changed my mind. They had taken some long strides to fix the D last year, but there were other glaring roster holes that couldn't be fixed. Similar efforts were not made this off season and it appears the D has taken at least two steps backwards now. As far as I am concerned Reese can't be fired soon enough.
