The Giants get skunked at home and Eli throws 5 picks, nice.

Well that certainly doesn't help, and the line does need a major boost, but take that for example. It took until like week 10 for Gilbride to change to a more conservative passing game, he stuck with the long developing deep pass attack even though Eli was getting pounded like every drop back.
 
 
And it's a pretty complex offense. When it works (2011) it's amazing, when it doesn't really work (2010, most of 12, 13) it's not so hot. I mean, look at guys like Peyton, Brady, Brees and Rodgers...looks like they can connect in their sleep. Now Eli is not those guys... but still the miscommunication is baffling. Even 12 games in you have WRs stopping dead while his ball soars to the endzone, or them going out when he expected in and it flies right to a defender. And he's had an off year, I dont think its as bad as the stats say but he's not been on his game. So maybe less option routes and etc
And stop running the ball every second down!
 
I'll agree though, when he has protection the deep pass game is what suits Manning best

I mean doesn't he kind of run the perfect offense for Eli though? I think the problem is more that you can't run the ball.

Not exactly lighting the world on fire, though Rivers has had a resurgence.
 
 
LOL the Giants FB fan page is pretty much alight with comments hating on Kevin Gilbride, glad I'm not alone!!
My favorites "Kevin Killdrive"  "It's time to go, you can run on 2nd & 24 somewhere else" "you're sh*t"  
If he's not dumped offseason I'm so starting a change.org petition to fire him!

Amazing how the Charges can play when Norv Turner isn't the coach.

Woo Chargers! Doubt they will be able to pull into the 6th seed though. Those two losses to the Texans and Redskins were killers.


But yes...that Denver team laid an egg alright. That defense is certainly no good but even the offense seemed sluggish.

This makes things oh so very interesting in the AFC. The Bengals and Patriots both have decent shots at the #1 overall seed now.

IDK, second time they actually stopped San Diego just to give it back on a penalty. Yikes, I know Rivers is having one helluva year but legit, this defense sucks. 
Thank god I dropped them a minute before the game and picked up New England's!


Edit: Dreadful game. I enjoyed folding clothes more than that. Congrats to San Diego

Don't worry. The Chargers always have a good collapse in them.

Indeed, though looks like they weren't really that good at all, but were masked by the offense which has certainly gotten a bit sh*ttier has time has gone on. Not that Peyton can't pull out a win, only 14 points but they seem a bit more lackluster every time (sans the Pats game were they pretty much didn't even tryLOL)

Their defense is getting sh*ttier by the week.  Not a good thing to be doing so close to playoffs.

Peyton and Co. is puling and Eli and Co. and going 3 and out continuously.
Add to it their defense can't stop anything and has Peyton even been on the field??

Hate to say, but this is increasingly looking like another 1 and done playoff season : O

Actually, pains me to say but the guy has really had a helluva step up in recent years. Especially the lack of picks and game costing mistakes.
But boy howdy is that team bad!


Oh, I actually think he's having the best year of his career.  It's still fun to hack on him, though.  LOL

It wasn't his fault the Bears lit them up.

I am so ready for Foles, McCoy, etc. to torch these guys Tongue

I thought with how Dallas' offense has been playing plus Chicago's terrible (let's be honest, it's worse than Detroit's) defense, Dallas would pull it off.  No, instead, they made the Bear's D look like it was top 5 in the league.
