Yep and we bat down a TON of balls at the line, too because of it. Earlier in the season, the team wasn't doing as good of job of stopping those short passing routes. Especially in the no huddle but with the line getting healthier it's made a difference. You'll notice the Giants pass rush stopping often and getting their hands up to bat those balls up. When you have guys like JPP who has over a 7ft arm span, it has to be part of the defensive game plan.Talon- said:
Peyton is far and away better. Couple of things though, Peyton plays in a dome for half his games, Eli is playing in shitty East Rutherford. Also Eli in the playoffs has been much more successful in less chances than Peyton which sways people's opinions.
Hmm
or
I wonder if that has anything to do with it!
Judging by this season, Eli's also had the benefit of this man:
Corran, here you go.
People were calling for his head in the preseason.Talon- said:Judging by this season, Eli's also had the benefit of this man:
If Eli throws for 5000 yards next year, I'll be pissed. It means the Giants haven't addressed the running game which should be priority one when this is over. Even if we win the big game, the team is better when its balanced.jman2050 said:

First and foremost well done by Niners and Jim Harbaugh. It was clear last season with Mike Dingleberry that the team had a lot of talent and needed a competent coach to take them where they were supposed to go. The team just needs to grow offensively, which Harbaugh will get done, and they will be a powerhouse for years to come (unfortunately). Took us to the brink of elimination, and frankly we only won due to two Kyle Williams screw ups on special teams. Their's was easily the fiercest pass rush we have seen all year. Congrats Level Nth, Doomsayer, methodman, the rest of Niner-Age and especially my boy FMT. All that said tho:
(Thanks BigAT)

People are morons if they were going after him about Steve Smith. One of the few GMs that seems to understand that depth and talent on the line will cover up a lot of issues on the backside on defense. Basically he's my mancrush.People were calling for his head in the preseason.
I still think letting Smith go for what he wanted was a mistake. He gets the benefit of the doubt because of how amazing Cruz. He should get endless credit for bringing him in, but the entirety of the Giants coaching would tell you they had no clue what they had with Victor. Reese included.
The other things? Letting Boss go was the right thing to do. No way you pay him Witten money. Ridiculous. His signing of Bradshaw for a reasonable contract was the right thing to do. People laughed at him when he said signing Boothe was a priority. Boothe has been one of the better guys on the offensive line. His ability to play Center has saved us at times.
I still question the Baas signing as he's been mediocre to average all season long. His contract is back loaded and I don't think he's a long term answer at the position but fuck we made it to the Super Bowl so who am I to question?
