Really, Matt Millen needs a heart transplant? That sucks. Made fun of the guy a lot for his time with the Lions, but he's too young for that shit.

It’s ok, Giants fans. At least you still have the Yanke....err....the Knicks.

It’s amazing how little actually changes for the Giants year after year through multiple coaching changes.

Was that play solely to give Manning slightly better YPA stats or something? Why risk injury when there 0% chance of scoring on that play.

It's amazing to me that Eli Manning beat the Patriots twice in Super Bowls. How on earth did that happen?

There are so many games where the Giants literally can’t figure out how to get him the ball.
Just run him on the same short slant 50 times and hope Eli can fit it in the tiny window, what could go wrong?

He’s 4 for 14 throwing to non-OBJ/Barkley receivers.

The next person who says in a game thread that Brady sucks, or he's all done, after he misses one pass should be forced to watch an endless loop of Eli Manning playing QB the last few years. Fuck it, make them a Giants fan. If Brady had OBJ, Sterling Shepard, Engram and Barkley to start the year, he'd probably have Mahomes numbers right now.

That said, Eli sucks, but his O line might be even worse. My God, I think the few times they tried to run play action, defenders were on Eli just as he was finishing the fake. Tough to go downfield when you're getting hit before your receivers can make it there.

How do you think TB would do on the Giants right now?

Frankly this was a big reason the Giants twice beat the Patriots in the Super Bowl. That being said, Eli does suck, he has always sucked and he was lucky as fuck to get those two wins. He will probably go to the HOF as a result and that really sucks.

I've been saying all along the Barkley pick won't be viewed poorly, if the Giants can hit on a QB in next year's draft. The reality is they are better off losing every game and trying to get the best possible draft pick they can, so they have first shot at whatever QB they like in the upcoming draft. If they find their guy, and he's good, they have a cost-controlled, talented backfield for years to come, and will have the money to put weapons all over the field on both sides. Taking Barkley could end up being a fantastic move, coupled with resigning OBJ, but ONLY if they can hit on that QB next year.

I love when the refs are still looking at the pile of bodies to figure out who has the ball, and meanwhile, the guy with the ball is celebrating at midfield. LOL

Offensive line overhaul too. A rookie behind this line would be David Carr’d like nobody since David Carr.

Lol the Giants are so unlucky. How often is there actually a clear camera angle into the pig pile?

Is that a joke running a commercial break only to come back to run the clock down officially before cutting to another break?
