Week 4 Thursday Night Football - Giants at Washington

[Seanzayyy]

I really hope we'll get to have at least one close TNF game this year.

 

[Brady_to_Moss]

TNF still sucks....the close one may be the pats-jets one. These games are AWFUL.

But a lot has to do with it being a very short week. Dump thursday night games please.

 

[buile]

PI? But isnt' that an uncatchable ball?

 

[jmt57]

Had time to throw the ball away. Eli trying to make the big play probably costs them three points.

 

[Jlaff]

WTF happened to Eli?

He suddenly DOESN'T suck.

Sometimes chuck and pray works.

 

[jmt57]

How does Washington leave Cruz that open on the sideline in that situation?

How does Washington leave Cruz that open on the sideline in that situation?

Probably the same way Seattle let the same play burn them like three times in a row late in the fourth quarter last Sunday. Just crazy to see.

Looks like Washington's defense (4th in yardage, 12th in points) has been overrated due to the level of their first two opponents (Texans, Jaguars). Although they lead the NFL in sacks, all ten in their first three games came against the Jaguars.

Amazing what can happen when your OL gives the QB time to throw.

Damn it I was going to bet heavy on the Giants +3.5 and my cell phone connection could not load the page, I tried for minutes and nothing, then when it loaded the match was closed. Fuxk

 

[Jlaff]

Oh my goodness

 

[varjao]

man what the hell cousins is doing?

 

[Joker]

another turnover...may as well open a freakin' bakery

 

[jmt57]

Wow, a drive that didn't end with an interception.

Eli Manning HOF talk will resume now. He does this every once in 20-30 games.
In all fairness, their offense looks easy and smooth.

 

[jmt57]

Well if you want proof of how much Bill Polian and the Competition Committee changed the NFL, that last comment on TV sums it up.

Eli now has more career passing touchdowns than Jim Kelly.

Agreed. There isn't anyone near their receivers a lot of the time.

 

[SVN]

Amazing what can happen when your OL gives the QB time to throw.

I agree. But wrt to the pats , Iam starting to think its also lack of consistent playmakers and the offense being too complicated which gets magnified behind a poor o line. Just my opinion.

The receivers are either wide open for Ellie this day, or making a play in coverage. Certainly wouldn't say there is any sort of timing at work here.
