Yeah you defintely run in that situation, and maybe you go for it on 4th down.
Eli should not have thrown away either. |

Definitely wouldn't go for it on 4th down. Not running it on 3rd though. What.

not sure how any Giants fan can watch tonight and actually take away positives from the performance. the defense proved they are not ready for crunch time at all and the pass rush is completely non-existent. Dallas' O-line may be great but not even coming close to a sack is pretty humiliating.
and at the end of the day they straight up gave away a game to a divisional rival which will almost certainly come back to bite them down the line. I realistically thought this team would go 8-8 at best. still well within the range of possibility but 8 wins in the NFC won't get you anywhere regardless. |

So, what's this about Eli Manning telling one of his guys not to score?

Yeah. That was by far the most poorly handled end of a game in NFL history. The guy told his running back NOT to score to put them up by 10 with under 2 minutes left. And then proceeded to throw a pass out of the back of the endzone to stop the clock on third down. lol

I've defended Eli a ton over the years, mainly with the amount people like to focus on his INTs when a lot of them really aren't his fault. In fact Romo's INTs yesterday looked a lot like what I've seen out of Eli the last few years. Just a lot of unfortunate bounces off of his own receivers.
But the way he handled the end of last night's game was comically bad. And he was explaining himself on Francesa's show today and he just sounded flat-out retarded in trying to do so. And hell, while telling Jennings to not score was retarded, there was no guarantee he would have made it even if he tried. The Giants have sucked on the goal line for years. But on that third down, christ how do you not at least take a sack? Just dumb. |

All told, it wasn't exactly a confidence builder to have THAT be the first game after signing his 4-year extension. In fairness, there really doesn't seem to be another hotshot "savior" QB in the college ranks on the horizon, and their current backup (Ryan Nassib) is straight up trash. Eli probably is the best option for them in the next few years.
Unfortunately the team still needs a lot of work. I had the Giants penciled in for 7 or 8 wins this year and definitely didn't see a win in Dallas coming, so 7 or 8 is still entirely doable with their schedule. But it clearly won't be enough for the playoffs. I'll never outright root for a loss, but fuck...bottoming out at 4-12 or some shit might be better long-term than getting 7 or 8 wins and having Reese think "okay that's not terrible, just need to add a piece or two." |

Never understood taking timeouts before the 2 minute warning in that situation when the time clock is at like 2:20. You're only saving 20 seconds. If you wait til after the 2 minute warning, you're saving 40. Might as well let them run off the 20 and save the timeout.

I don't know much about Brice Butler except that I know a few Raiders fans who wanted him to get more playing time last year. And considering Oakland's lack of an eye for talent over the years, he could be a good pickup.

Recent Deadspin report revealed how the NFL forced prosecutors in the Greg Hardy domestic violence case to hand over records not meant to be available to the public. Main reason was for PR reasons in case sensitive stuff from the case got released/leaked before the NFL could punish him and prevent public backlash if it was seen as weak.
They were given normal records available to the public whenever a criminal case is reported but wanted more sensitive records that were hands-off for legal reasons. Ended up striking a secret deal which allowed the NFL to get those files while claiming deniability in case anyone tried to find out about it earlier. Only got to see the crime photos and files for a day before handing it right back to prosecutors. Biggest thing the DA was worried about was someone from the NFL's side leaking files to Hardy's legal team which they might have actually done prior to them getting the really sensitive stuff. Ended up tweaking the deal so that while the NFL got the legal power to access the files, the NFLPA would get zero access regardless if it was fair or not. http://deadspin.com/how-the-nfl-conv...-no-1729992346 |

NFL confirmed today that the PI call on DRC was incorrect AND they acknowledged that a holding call on Daniel Fells was missed during the ill-fated "3rd down throw the ball out of the end zone" play.
So even with the dumbest decision ever, they should have won. Well that sure makes me feel better. |

Also I doubt JPP will be back anytime soon, if at all. No index finger, part of his thumb missing, AND his middle finger/ring finger appear to be a bit fucked too. The guy cost himself millions upon millions.
