Re: Around the Nfl week 1
Piss poor clock management by Giants here at the end. Should have ran the clock on 3rd down but decide to let Eli throw out of bounds leaving 1:34 on the clock. Fucking retarded.

Re: Around the Nfl week 1
Was that Brandon Meriweather playing for the Giants? Sure looked like him.

Re: Around the Nfl week 1
That had to be the worst clock management I've ever seen in a NFL game. Period. Coughlin should be fired for that alone. It was atrocious. Throwing on a 3rd and goal instead of running off 40 seconds. The cowboys would have NEVER had the time to go the length of the field.

Around the Nfl week 1

Taking a shot at the endzone to ice the game for good i have no problem with but Eli has to know that if its not there to just go down. He threw that away. He didnt miss. Edit: if you dont have a wide open reciever just go down. Its as good as a run play. |

There again, it should have never been an option for Eli to pass. Even Coughlin agrees that it was a very stupid decision to pass on 3rd. The game would have been iced with 40 seconds off the clock and another FG on the board. That would have sealed it b/c Cowboys didn't have the time to go that far with about 30 seconds left and no timeouts. @DanGrazianoESPN Coughlin: "My fault at the end of end the game, nobody to blame but me. Decision to throw the ball on third down was not a good decision."

Re: Around the Nfl week 1
On another note.....Cowboys lost their main WR
@DMN_George Jerry Jones said Dez Bryant needs a screw in his foot. Says he'll miss 3-6 weeks probably.

Tony Dungy said he had absolutely no problem with the playcall, but Eli has to know if its not there go down. You have to atleast give the potential 10 point lead a look there. Thats all. Ofcourse Coughlin is going to take the blame. He is a stand up dude but u know damn well he is saying to himself, "jesus christ eli fall on your ass dont throw the ball away!" Eli is no rookie. He took a look - had nothing- and made a conscious desicion to throw the ball away. Had they run The Cowboys still would have had roughly 45-50 seconds left on the clock, and Romo had just marched down the field like a surgeon effing general. Imo it is well worth the look to see if u get a wide open guy and can end the game rite there. Sure a run play would have eaten up the 35 seconds but so would falling on your ass so why not take a look first than go down. If anything coughlin should be blamed for it is not cementing that in Elis ear. But when u have a veteran qb who has won two superbowls u shouldnt have to tell him "whatever you do dont throw the ball away". Duh. Last edited by punch it in; 09-14-2015 at 08:14 AM. |
