Eli is on the record he doesn't want to play elsewhere. But even if he did nobody is trading for him

He wouldn't have to if he went to the Jets.

Washington's FO is incompetent, and if they trade for Eli, I'm switching my primary allegiance. That said, they won't (probably).

1) Not enough cap room.
2) Keenum is not their issue (on paper he's arguably played better than Eli over the last 2+ seasons), and
3) Dwayne Haskins is waiting in the wings.

Mike is usually wrong about his sports takes these days, but I still think he's pretty good at reading a situation calling out incompetence or #2 in the local market pretty good.
 
Week 15 is going to be glorious. Two 0-14 teams who are actively tanking the season.

The movable object vs. the resistible force and it going to play right into Mara's wheel house.

If the Giant's win, Mara will be in the Goddell's ear, making sure the Dolphins lose their #1 pick for blatantly trying to throw the season. If The Giant's are "successful?" Well, Mr. Commissioner, we were trying out a new QB. No harm no foul. Pay no attention to out GM gutting most other significant players.

I wonder if attempting to protect a spouse beating punter proves to be worth it.

I actually enjoy watching who wants to tank it more in these games.

the giants are trying. thats the sad part
 
Somewhat interesting random fact:

That 32-31 Giants/Bucs score is actually quite rare. Only the 7th time an NFL game has ended in that score and the first time since 2002. And this is going back to the 30s.

Actually, there were a few fairly rare scores this past week. 33-28 (Chiefs/Ravens) is also rare, it has only happened 9 times, the first time in the 60s and just 5 other times since 2000. Likewise with the Redskins/Bears 31-15 score, only the 9th time in NFL history. 31-15 did not happen until 1994 and last happened in 2014.

Had Dallas gone for 2 at any time and won by 32-6, that would have only been the 5th time (and first since 1986) that a team won by that score. 31-6 is a little more common. (43-0 from last week was only the 5th time and first since 1999)

We are getting some pretty unique scores lately. I always like to see scores that have not happened yet. (example: 11-9 or 22-18 or 39-16 has never happened - it takes some....interesting things for some of these scores to occur).

Any Giants fans going up to Metlife this weekend? Look for UConn tent/flags flying in the blue lot parking (L) and come say hello! 20-30 Giant/Husky fans will be there ragin'

Let's go BLUE!
Cheers
 
Redskins are terrible. But still a good confidence builder for the G-men.

Too many turnovers for the offense. Nice day for Jones and nice day for the defense—especially Jenkins. What a difference a week makes.

Tough spot for Haskins. I would have held off until next week if I was Gruden. A rough start like this can get in your head. In any event, glad we got Jones and I don’t doubt that they had their eyes on him, too.
 
Nor for nothing but maybe eli was an issue for the last 5 years or so
 
I will amend my original statement about Week 14. Turns out the Toilet Bowl is actually next weekend when Washington goes to Southern Florida. It will most likely not be on TV here, so if for some reason I choose to experience that agony, it'll have to be via a sportsurge link, which cannot be DVRed.

The Redskins might have the most incompetent front office in the NFL and at this point it would not surprise me if they tried to trade for Eli. Even the Browns and Raiders are better run.

Heaven help this football fan when Tom Brady retires.

Lmao at people who thought they were winning this year and that includes Giants fans and I’m saying this as a Giants fan.

I legitimately haven't heard 1 Giants fan think they were winning, everyone knew this team was awful. Unless Gettleman counts as a Giants fan

I think the majority ya had realistic expectations but you have idiots on twitter and Facebook talking about being contenders expect Jones to look like a rookie the rest of the month and when I say you I don’t mean you specifically.

The Giant's offense has a chance to be in the top half of the league. Enough play makers although the Oline is a problem and Jones holds the ball too long too often The defense is the reaL problem. Alot of injuries but still not enough talent and playmakers.

On the positive side, GB is dismantling the Cowboys. :D:D:D
 
This is going to be brutal. Games basically over already after these first 2 plays
 
I'll never find it not funny when the referee looks through 15 players, places the ball at a random spot and then they bring out the chains for a precise measurement
