It's fun to say things.
Eli Manning 2016 Playoff record:
23 cmp 44 Att 299 Yards 1 TD 1 Pick. Giants scored 13 points, 0 in the 4th quarter.
Giants lost yesterday's game the second it was known Odell wouldn't play. They have NOTHING without him.
Giants have practically always been a bullshit team. You're greatly undervaluing Odell here. Without Odell on the field, the Cowboys just needed to double cover Brandon Marshall and they did. And the Cowboys defense is trash. But without Odell, they only needed to stop one receiver, really.
Brady without Edelman suffered a lot more than I'd say most of us expected but I wouldn't say that we should put Kaep in instead
If you have Kaep in, no Odell, that game against the Cowboys gets even worse. His best receiver would be double covered and that receiver isn't super great anyhow.
I'm a Patriots fan. Playoff Eli is the greatest of all time. Who needs stats when you have every god and goddess from every religion on your side.

Wentz faced the blitz on 47% of his dropbacks. Went 11 of 18 with a TD. Not bad, considering it seemed like they were in his face all game.
Offensive line needs work.

Or
The Asterisks got beat twice by Joe Flacco the prototype.
Let's face it. The Giants defense dominated the Asterisks that first Super Bowl, and even then they were a handful of jersey and a dropped interception away from winning. Eli came through with the flukiest play possible. The 2011 Asterisks teams was not good, and was bested by the better overall team. At least Eli made some good throws in that one.
The only guy that flashed for the Giants was Engram.
I look at the roster and the Giants have enough weapons, they're not scheming up enough easy throws, that's the biggest issue. They can't do shit with that OL, they're spreading out and going 5 wide on 3rd and 1.
Here's a good contrast to Dallas vs Giants. Late in the 4th the Cowboys go empty, easy for Dak to spot man coverage, plus they knew by that point how the Giants would defend an empty set. They bring Zeke back into the formation, Giants LB thinks he's in to just block so he goes green on the blitz for +1. Guess what they sneak Zeke to the backside, and it's an easy chunk play. I don't see this from the Giants.
Hopefully they improve, because even with Odell, that O is going be limited.
Side note - I vastly prefer those Rams uniforms over their new ones

The Fisher Curse is ovah. Predicting yall will contend for at least half the season instead of getting to 7-9 late

Here's why Andy Dalton runs off...
One fan: "You suck."
Another throws hat at Dalton.
Another fan yells: "I want Carson back." #Bengals

Dolphins asked to move London game back to Miami....
But player safety ($) is too important

In Eli's defense, I attribute that to him actually needing an Oline that isn't trash. I think I agree with pretty much everyone else on your list. Eli has lost a step.. but he's not broken to the point like say.. Carson Palmer for example. That is a broken man completely.
So.. which Oline is worse? Seattle, Giants, or Houston should be the question of the day.
How are you gonna legit dog the best QB in Wisconsin history not named Russell?
Also somewhere Ez had an aneurism and he doesn't know why.

Move the Fins game back and move a Chargers game to London. The fewer games played in that tiny stadium in LA the better.

2008 offensive line was one of the best in the league. The line started to decline in 2009 and was just about done by 2010.
I kinda feel sorry for the players and coaches.
They have the worst ownership in the NFL.
Whatever I may say about the jets at least he doesn't have family members working the scouting department.

Flacco threw for 121 yards and the Ratbirds still beat the Bengals by 20.

He threw 3 passes in the second half, none were complete
He's still hurt, as I said. Really glad he didn't get anything aggravated

I mean they aren't wrong....but yeah a little too harsh
All good.
I'm trying to remember the most infuriating thing I remember as a Giants fan (people mention the Desean Jackson punt return but that didn't phase me at all).
The most infuriating thing I recall is when it was the last game of the season, Rich Seubert was doing an amazing job of center. They promptly put back an injured Shaun O'Hara because HE IS THE STARTER JUST LIKE JOHN JERRY, he sucks gets hurt again and as a domino effect Seubert got hurt and his career was effectively done.

Is this Dalton's last year?
I dont want to say it here but know this: if true in any way I am completely 100% done with the organization.
People here would blow it up and if it isnt true it still would never die
Still need to watch the game, but sounds like what I expected. Defense, especially DLine, is great, Doug's playcalling is bad, and Carson's impossible to bring down but his mechanics still need work, especially his deep ball accuracy.
Let's get to double digit wins before saying undefeated

Guess Ruben will be out with a high ankle sprain for a few weeks...
Considering the way it looked live, I'm glad it's just that. I thought he broke his ankle for sure.
Hopefully it was just bad luck and we don't have ourselves another injury prone MLB.
Yeah, but that was against the Packers. Their defense was incredible last year. Easily the best secondary in the league!

I really wonder if the deep ball accuracy is due to the fact that he barely had time with his new receivers and needs to work on the timing. Some were underthrown, some were overthrown. Is it just accuracy or also chemistry?
