I've said it before, my son (21) grew up loving Eli after his first superbowl. He was pissed Lauletta was inactive, he wanted them to bench Eli after the first half (probably more like after the first snap).

Re: Giants Postgame
 

Josh Norman yesterday vs Odell..

2 targets 0 Catches.

Total

6 targets 3 catches for 26 yards folks.

1 dropped INT

Its time to give JNO his props because hes playing like a shutdown CB again

Re: Giants Postgame
 

How is Eli even still playing? He is so bad. Slow as a turtle.

He basically got called out a few weeks ago and he deserved it. Ever sine then he's been playing like a #1. What I didn't understand is why Stroman got matched up with Beckham on the PI play where he caught the ball anyway. That was a terrible coaching f up.

The sack by Harvey-Clemons was hilarious, he literally grabbed his ankle and he went down

Re: Giants Postgame
 

Eli is still playing because he's a manning. No other reason y he should even be out there

They don't have anyone else... Unless Lauletta is more than an afterthought.

Re: Giants Postgame
 

Until they have a OL that can give some decent protection it won't matter much who's behind center. Giving up 7 sacks is just embarrassing.

Yeah, I turned to my brother immediately after the play and told him, "That's the easiest NFL sack JHC is ever gonna get."

LOL

Eli and Peyton both had a way of going down quick to avoid getting crushed in the pocket. But that set a new low for Eli, he folded like a house of cards. Like he was waist deep in the ocean and a crab pinched him.

It's unfortunately not his new low (well unfortunate for Giants fans)

Re: Giants Postgame
 

No matter how ugly that win was it was a road win within the division.

Re: Giants Postgame
 

It was an old school game...run the football with success and stop the run....a drawback to the 1960s and 1970s..

Re: Giants Postgame
 

[quote=skinsfan69;1204958]No matter how ugly that win was it was a road win within the division.[/quote]

We are 5-1 in conference, with 2 in division wins, and 2 teams that look like the head to head could be important (Carolina and Green Bay).

We have 2 conference games, 3 non conf games and 4 division games left.

We have a lot of the advantages leaning our way even if we lose a game or two. The Philly series will be critical though. It would be nice to keep a lead on them.

The Eagles are 2-3 in conference, 1-0 in the division.
Dallas is also 2-3 in conference, 1-1 in the division.

Gruden needs to keep them playing tough focused football each week (not like me with this post lol)

Points 9 and 10 are what I’m talking about. if and when someone stops the running game, the passing needs to come through. I still hope Smith plays like Chiefs QB and not the 49ers QB which is what he’s currently playing like.

I also think we are seeing Smith showing more comfortable passes with Reed, Doctson, and P Richardson.

Agreed, but what about games like Indy and NO? Peterson was held to 20 and 6 yards and then there was no offense.

Re: Giants Postgame
 

I'm just gonna enjoy this ride while it lasts, because I don't think our current pace is sustainable. Hopefully Smith and the receivers will be in sync because Atlanta will be one of our toughest remaining tests.

That was a great breakdown by Keim there, hard to disagree with any of his points.

Re: Giants Postgame
 

Eli looks like a little kid that thinks there's a monster under his bed, even when the pocket is fine.

This defense constantly just blows o lineman up. Mason stoned # 63. Ioannidis commmits assault and battery on a regular basis.

Its fun watching defense hit people.

I'd much rather have great defense than great offense. I also think its way easier for an offense to improve over the season. We need to find a way to get an extra TD per game.

I agree, I'd rather have a top 5 D than a top 5 O any day. It's fun scoring 28PPG but it sucks giving up 29. Yeah it would be nice but Defense wins games.

Re: Giants Postgame
 

Mason Foster could be the most underrated LB in football

Alex Smith's first season with the Chiefs in 2013:
[INDENT][/INDENT]60.6% completion, 3,313 passing yards, 23 TDs, 7 INTs, 89.1 passer rating. He went 11-4 (missed a game).

Alex Smith's first season with the Redskins in 2018, projected:
[INDENT][/INDENT]63.2% completion, 3,568 passing yards, 18 TDs, 5 INTs, 91.3 passer rating

I'm just illustrating reasonable expectations when a QB joins a new offense. We need him to get better but reality is it takes time. I just know he went 11-4 in that first season as a Chief, while he was learning the ropes, and God willing it will be the same here.

Can we win a SB with Smith playing like this? No. But we knew that. Allow for the possibility he'll get better as he plays here, and draft for the possibility he won't.

Agree, but what I’ve noticed and believe me I’ve seen lots of Alex Smith in SF where I live. Maybe that’s why I’m more critical of him, currently he’s playing like the 49ers AS. I want him to succeed and I know he can do better, I want the Chiefs AS.

We are back to what use to win around here, run, stop, the run. The only missing is the deep passing game that worked so well under Gibbs 1.

They do that this team becomes a top 10 offensive machine. Right now they are averaging 20.9 pts/gm. I would be happy with an additional 3 pts. Push the production up to 24 pts and I think this defense will win most games.

You should have included Alex's entire stats in KC (I'm not counting SF), he gets better with time. According to ESPN:

2013: 60.0% comp, 3,313 yards, 23 td & 7 int, 89.1 rating
2014: 65.3% comp, 3,265 yards, 18 td & 6 int, 93.4 rating
2015: 65.3% comp, 3,486 yards, 20td & 7 int, 95.4 rating
2016: 67.1% comp, 3,502 yards, 15 td & 8 int, 91.2 rating
2017: 67.5% comp, 4,042 26 td & 5 int, 104.7 rating

Re: Giants Postgame
 

It is crazy how when the game starts I have no doubt we will get a real quick one or two touchdowns, but after that initial burst I pray for fg’s. I go from completely confident to completely hopeless.

Re: Giants Postgame
 

Alex will finish with 20 Pass Tds most likely and around 5 Ints, that is very good IMO. Dude just plays smart football and doesn't put us in bad situations

Re: Giants Postgame
 

Something we haven't talked about yet, I think we need to throw some props to the burgundy pants making a return this year.

Gruden is 5-0 when playing with a lead this year. I think he gets the concept of game control. But that leaves us fans nailbiting all game long.

(he's also 0-2 when he doesn't take the initial lead)
