All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
Eli Manning is not a franchise QB. Just because they pay him like one doesn't mean he is one.
Honestly, why do we need to talk about who is to blame? Every part of our team has something they need to work on. Why on earth do people search and search for one person or unit to blame?

Instead, what happens is the d can't stop the Giants, putting pressure on the O to take more chances, which forces mistakes.
Giving up at least 3 field goals because of QB error is impossible to ignore. Especially when two of the errors gives your opponent the football back and puts your already depleted defense back onto the field when they should be on the sidelines resting and watching the Offense score points.
The defense played yesterday like they have all year. Why should we suspect them to play different now? You knew how the defense would play so I don't blame them.
I'm okay giving up over 400 YPG if you're forcing TO's. Without the TO's though, you just end up being a really bad defense. We will lose games in that scenario 9 out of 10.

I respectfully disagree, the Defense has been averaging over two turnovers a game and scoring points off of them.
really? So, when the game is tied and the Bills have the ball and 2 time-outs with about 3 minutes left and Fitz throws an INT, it's because the D put him in a situation where he was under more pressure?
Sorry, not buying it. That's a situation where a team has the entire field and their entire playbook open to them. Any QB who can't handle it has no business being in the NFL.
they should have been running the ball not throwing when the last killer pick was thrown. just NO reason tobe throwing the ball there... NONE
Actually, there's a great reason - Johnson was open and had beaten Webster by at least a step. Not to mention the fact that outside of that 80 yard run, our run game had been pretty stagnant the entire game. You don't go into a shell with 4 minutes left and when your opponents still have two timeouts. The Giants would have had plenty of time to go down the field and score.

Pleeeease, if you win a SuperBowl in your mid-20's, beating arguably the greatest team ever assembled, you're a franchise QB. Anti Eli Manning people don't understand the game.
My faith doesn’t make me perfect, it makes me forgiven.

Manning certainly has his moments, but he's not a franchise QB.

Knowing they're going to suck doesn't mean they can't be blamed for sucking.

Pretty sure Fitz led us to a victory against the Raiders in the last second of the game.
Unfortunately it won't happen every time. Fitz can hit that throw easily, it just didn't happen for him that time.
