You mean all the slot receivers you have, right? They have no go-to guy.

The Giants will win games by running the ball this year and the Lions defense just didn't allow them to do that.

by GSC Tue 09 Sep 2014, 1:33 pm

Can they run the ball with a bad OL mind. Scheme looks a poor fit for Eli who's never been particularly good at making quick reads and getting rid of it.

Dunno, I just got the vibe of desperation this offseason. Never would've believed you a year ago if you'd told me Tom Coughlin and the Giants would be outbidding the Jets for the services of the King of Dogging it (giggle) DRC

Glad I missed the second half of the Patriots - Dolphins game.

Especially on offense.

Yeah. I wouldn't have switched system before Eli's time is up. I'm still more hopeful than most. Some Giants fans are calling it a 3/4 win season.

I just don't get all the hand signals. What's wrong with a good old yell?

by GSC Tue 09 Sep 2014, 4:28 pm

Tbh I'd rather go 2-14 than 7-9. Too many teams are scared to gamble losing mediocrity and trudge along. If you hit rock bottom you have to rebuild.

by GSC Tue 09 Sep 2014, 4:31 pm

Seemed to me more of a "we have to scapegoat someone" move to fire Gilbride (not that it wasn't warranted for a while). Then hired a scheme based on how well it would minimise the OLs role and hoped it all came together.

As I say, to me it looked like a case of a FO and coaching staff realising they were in the poop next year with the status quo.

Trivia of the Day: What is the only NFL team (except the Giants) that Eli hasn't thrown a pick to?

by SuperTanker Wed 10 Sep 2014, 2:39 pm

Trick Question -None?

Good question, and I definitely want to know the right answer!

Had some spare time so had to look it up. Thought it may have been the Raiders, but of course he threw one last year. Good question though, and he won't be able to get the full set this year...

I want to say the Patriots but going with the Broncos.

by CFCNick Wed 10 Sep 2014, 5:03 pm

He definitely threw a pick to Denver at MetLife recently.

by CFCNick Wed 10 Sep 2014, 5:10 pm

Also I'm going to say Arizona

by GSC Wed 10 Sep 2014, 5:13 pm

All incorrect.

AP wrote:A law enforcement official says he sent a video of Ray Rice punching his then-fiancee to an NFL executive five months ago, while league executives have insisted they didn't see the violent images until this week.

The person played The Associated Press a 12-second voicemail from an NFL office number on April 9 confirming the video arrived. A female voice expresses thanks and says: "You're right. It's terrible."

by GSC Thu 11 Sep 2014, 7:04 am

To be honest more people seem intent on getting Goodell fired than any great outrage over handling of said video (to be honest, I really couldn't care).

Which I don't really get because hes just a public face for the owners. If hes replaced, his replacement will do the same things.

Back to the quiz - was the Dolphins I believe.

It was

by GSC Thu 11 Sep 2014, 11:30 am

Brady is also 30/31.

Also 2 QBs have thrown INTs to all 32 teams.

Purely a guess - Warner?

by SuperTanker Thu 11 Sep 2014, 1:05 pm

Or Palmer?

Favre and Manning have

Both times we've played each other the Dolphins have been 0-7 & 0-6.

Ben Roethlisberger is 18-1 against the Browns

Which QB gave Roethlisberger the only defeat?

by CFCNick Thu 11 Sep 2014, 3:11 pm

It was in 2009. They sacked him a lot. Delhomme? Anderson?

It was a thursday night game late in the season.

by GSC Thu 11 Sep 2014, 3:14 pm

Colt McCoy if memory serves

by sodhat Thu 11 Sep 2014, 3:20 pm

Wrong, wrong and wrong.

Brady Quinn

by sodhat Thu 11 Sep 2014, 3:31 pm

Nick has it, it was the mighty Quinn.

And it was in 2009 as you had said, so well done all round.

Quite interesting that Belichick was asked about the Patterson trade. Given the way thats shaken out so far, he may want a mulligan.

GSC wrote:Quite interesting that Belichick was asked about the Patterson trade. Given the way thats shaken out so far, he may want a mulligan.

We got Jamie Collins (promising young starter like Patterson), Logan Ryan (good rookie year last season, not a great camp this year and fallen a little on the depth chart, makes plays tho), Josh Boyce (whiffed on him tbf) and we traded the seventh rounder for a great year of production from Blount.

Whilst Patterson is potentially gonna be great, we got our own breakout candidate at LB and other helpful pieces so he'd be happy

by GSC Thu 11 Sep 2014, 5:26 pm

ones already gone, ones on the PS, ones buried on the depth chart and the other isn't as good as Patterson

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Thu 11 Sep 2014, 5:29 pm

Got a good year outta Blount, basically ran us to the AFC title game through January.

Boyce seems like a failed punt

Ryan 4th string, still getting game time and making plays (forced fumble against Miami)

Collins is a beast. Get on that hypetrain

by GSC Thu 11 Sep 2014, 5:52 pm

You had a bye, that means he had 1 good game.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Thu 11 Sep 2014, 7:13 pm

Well whenever the Baltimore/Buffalo/Indy span was then

Ryan also had the 3rd most INT's in the league last year.

Patterson's a great player (or going to be) but we did more than as well/if not better from the deal

Wonder what the odds are on Romo being the 1st to throw 3 or more INT's to every other team in the league? Whistle

Adrian Peterson charged with reckless or negligent injury to a child (child abuse basically)

Seriously how hard is it to stay outta trouble

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/09/12/adrian-petersons-indictment-for-swatting-son-with-a-switch/

Going by that, it just seems like discipline. Doesn't deserve the "Child Abuse" headline.

by GSC Fri 12 Sep 2014, 10:35 pm

Was he aware it was his son?

Seems to be some pictures in the report that if are legit, are a little more than just a discipline

There are pictures which reportedly show the injuries to the child.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Fri 12 Sep 2014, 11:48 pm

Peterson deactivated Sunday.

If he's found guilty, he's gonna be gone
