OT: 2017 Football Thread II: Rofl.

[TheTakedown]

Why did it take the Giants coaching staff this long to change the offensive line?

Coincidence that they look like fire now that McAdoo isn't making play calls?

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Maybe I'm crazy, but in my 25 years of watching football, you usually drop the ball when you fumble.

It is just so poor of a call. Such legitimate pro-Pats bullshit.

 

[Bob Richards]

Giants will balance out the chakras this season after this win

We will pay for it somehow.

 

[YetAnotherNorwegian]

Just as I was beginning to believe in an 0-16 season and a real fun draft. Trying to salvage some half decent season record does nothing for the Giants.

 

[silverfish]

Would be pretty typical Giants to knock off 4 in a row here, get back to 4-5, give us some hope, and then crush it.

That was the defense I expected all season. And how about that O-Line yesterday? Night and day between Sullivan and McAdoo calling the shots for the offense.

Martavis Bryant has requested a trade off the Steelers. If for some reason the Giants are trying to salvage the year...

Can the offensive line hold up long enough for Eli to make the down the field throws that Bryant requires?

I'd happily give them a 5th rounder.

Problem is the guy is a head case & could be our next Will Hill.

Evan Engram won me my fantasy game last night, so I'm thankful for that.

 

[Mac n Gs]

Me too, Engram is a beast. Last night’s team is exactly who I thought the Giants would be this season

Yes, him and Darkhwa were two really good take-aways from that game... OD could run through a brick wall and Engram was respected within the field, and when he wasn't he was wide open for passes.

Eli had plenty of time to throw.

Only issue is that the offense is still inconsistent as a whole, but some of that has to do with losing 3 of 4 tier 1 receivers

 

[Hunter Gathers]

I think the only thing last night showed was how hilariously bad Siemian really is. Dude is not a starting QB. He is so God damn bad.

 

[silverfish]

Eli

 

[Machinehead]

Sorry Raydors, but to me, they got the right call on both plays.

 

[Machinehead]

Lol now two penalties on the Chiefs!

 

[Machinehead]

Like a nine-down goalline stand by the Giants.

f*** off ref.

 

[Bob Richards]

Like a nine-down goalline stand by the Giants.

**** off ref.

rofl as frustrating as that was it was very impressive nonetheless.

 

[Kakko]

The offense says "f*** you defense, you don't get a break"

And the defense says "No."

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Man alive. Engram is going to be a superstar.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Brett Jones has been pure trash today.

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

Boggles my mind that Sheppard's catch a few weeks back is no TD, but this counts.

Insane that the rules are written that way.

I don't have a problem with this being a TD. How do you score it otherwise? What do you rule joint possession as? Tie has to go to someone, right?

To me there should be some type of "jump ball rule," for the type of joint possession that occurred there. I'm not saying the call was bad. It's just odd how that is ruled a TD when there isn't close to pure possession, while in other situations it matters what a player does 3 ft out of bounds after taking a step with the ball.

 

[Bob Richards]

Giants may have more 3 and outs than they do offensive yards.

I tend to think that the "tie goes to the offensive player" is one of the few relatively good and somewhat bright line rules in the league, lol. Agreed re: the Shep catch, though.
