Re: The Official 2017 NFL Season Thread
When you have had multiple broken backs like Romo has, you don't want to risk your ability to walk in the future behind the Green Bay offensive line.

Re: The Official 2017 NFL Season Thread
packers hardly ever look get free agents generally, there's no way the'll sign someone outside the organization. they are very much a "trust our scouts and system" kind of team.
If this was a really strong, playoff caliber team without Rodgers then maybe they'd consider it, but realistically, it's not.

Re: The Official 2017 NFL Season Thread
The biggest kicker with Rodgers going down is that the league as a whole doesn't look that strong this year. So we had as good a shot as anybody to win it this year. We're gonna roll with Hundley but I don't expect much. Rodgers was doing a lot to mask the weakness of the team. I'm not sure if we can be even a .500 team.
Vikings on the other hand can handle a qb carousel. That team is so solidly built on defense that they will keep them in the game no matter how poorly the offense is playing. I don't even think their offense is that bad. They should win this division easily now. Lions have no O-Line. Bears are the bears. And we have no Rodgers.

I don't think it was a dirty hit at all. Just bad luck. Congrats on winning the division.capable_keL wrote:Barr did the discount double check when Aaron was barking about a late hit. If QBs want to run outside the pocket they should expect to get hit.

Re: The Official 2017 NFL Season Thread
just wanted to come in here and comment on the whole "young nfl players arent prepared enough to play at the nfl level" bullshit. because ive been hearing this shit all fucking season and its a fucking pain in the ass. especially because now that claim has been pointed at qbs rbs wrs dbs lbs dline and every fucking position on the field generally aside from the original oline claim. shit is so fucking weak.
i cant tell if this shit has been something the nfl has been promoting in an attempt to curry favor with fans because their ratings numbers have been down (our league is magical -> the college league is the problem)
OR if it is just some shit the news motherfuckers thought up because people will buy it and it sells and it allows them an endless series of 'ineptitude' stories (as if they knew what the fuck they were talking about anyway (but of course if you buy it it sets the news people up as knowledgable (lulz)))
SO HERE IS WHAT I SAID EARLIER IN THREAD this is a big long thing about zone running because i was hearing all this shit in re oline is not pro ready etc etc. now to give this some context for where im at and where im going here in this post: the zone run situation is apropos because it is about the RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN COACHING/MANAGEMENT AND PLAYERS which is then put through a process which manifests itself into the onfield product:
now here are my current and expanded thoughts on the subject:

Re: The Official 2017 NFL Season Thread
Dallas is a long shot to even make the playoffs this year. Zeke should have taken the suspension early in the year and be a team guy.
Now Dak has been exposed, the defense is below average and last year's swagger is completely gone

Eagles have only played 1 team with a winning record. The next 5 weeks will tell you a lot about these NFC teams.

Re: McAdoo. I can’t think of a coach going out so shitty and quickly in one season. Last two 49er coaches come to mind, but they didn’t cone off like Giant pieces of shit.

When was the last time an organization did someone so dirty?
Hope Eli plays in Jacksonville next year.

I have bled Blue since I was a child. My allegiance to the NYFBG has never wavered, through many lean times. I have watched mass ticket burnings in the parking lot, skywriting protesters, The Fumble. I have rooted for the jersey, the lower case ny, the GIANTS, in Yankee Stadium, the Yale Bowl, Shea Stadium, Giants Stadium, and Met Life. I have lived and died with this *team* through Allie Sherman, and Alex Webster, and Bill Arnsbarger, and John McVay, and Ray Perkins, and He Whose Name Shall Not Be Spoken. I was rewarded for my loyalty when Mr. Mara, Sr., finally agreed that "15 Years of Lousy Football" was enough, and hired George Young, Bill Parcells and a young Bill Belichick to restore some luster and glory to one of the NFL's founding franchises. I watched the *team* win Super Bowls in the '80s and the '90s with that brain trust and a roster full of Hall of Famers and All Pros. For the nearly two decades prior to my move to New Jersey, my NY license plate read: "11289TD."
With Tom Coughlin and Eli Manning at the helm, I watched the *team* win two more Super Bowls in the '00s, and the '10s, both over heavily favored Patriots teams. I watched Eli go 9-14/158, 2 TDs in the *4th quarter alone* in that first one, against an unbeaten and, most felt, unbeatable juggernaut led by Belichick and the greatest quarterback of all time. I watched Eli throw the prettiest, most perfect, most clutch pass ever thrown in a Super Bowl in that second one, dropping a 40-yard Mona Lisa right into Mario Manningham's arms with time running out from the shadow of his own end zone -- directly in front of Belichick, who had, during the preceding time out, exhorted his defense to MAKE Eli throw it to Manningham. It was gorgeous. I watched Eli lift the Lombardi Trophy twice, being named the championship game's Most Valuable Player on each occasion.
Of late, I have watched Mr. Mara, Junior, unceremoniously fire Tom Coughlin, the epitome of accountability for self, and character, and positive values, and gentlemanly class, and winning. I listened to Junior tout the need for a "new direction" as he hired a glorified coordinator in Coach Coughlin's stead, an unproven nobody who rode Aaron Rodgers' coattails in Green Bay to a head coaching position he obviously never deserved in the Meadowlands. I mean, really, how hard is it to be Aaron Rodgers’ “Quarterbacks Coach?” Does anyone think Ben McAdoo *made* Aaron Rodgers? What a joke. I have watched this “coach" cower to the bluster of punks like Odell Beckham, regularly throw players, including Eli, under the bus, and seemingly choose every wrong course possible to affirmatively destroy the fabric of the locker room, the cohesiveness of *team.*"
I have watched a bumbling General Manager -- who owes his continued seat in the GIANTS offices to Eli Manning and those two Lombardi Trophies -- fubar draft after draft, leaving the concededly aging and immobile face of the team without protection up front, or a running game to make play-action tenable.
And I have watched Eli ever remain the consummate teammate. I have watched him take vicious hit after vicious hit over 13 years, and get up, and continue to compete, and try his damnedest to lead his team to victory. I've seen him lead more 4th Quarter comebacks than I can count. I've seen him play his best in the most important do-or-die moments. I've never heard Eli blame a receiver who cut off his route and made him look "stupid," or his coach for calling a no-chance play in the first place. I've never seen Eli Manning skewering his linemen on the sidelines for the world to see. I've never heard Eli seek to divest responsibility for self. I've never heard Eli say an unkind or negative word about Reese, or McAdoo, or Erick Flowers, or any of his other paper mache "linemen." I have never heard Eli take the bait, that hanging curve ball interview opportunity to blast all that is so very wrong all around him. I've always heard Eli say that he will simply have to play better to give his team a better chance to win in the face of current adversities. I have never heard Eli Manning blame a fellow teammate, or management personnel, for the foundering, sinking ship that is the New York Giants of 2017 and, let's face it, the last several years. I have watched a humble, kind, generous, giving, self-deprecating gentleman comport himself with dignity and represent the New York Giants with pride and class.
Sure, I've seen Eli miss open receivers, and throw ducks, and hit shoelaces, and crossbars, and fans in the first row, and the numbers on the chests of opposing defensive backs. I've seen attempted passes inexplicably wind up behind his body, and I've cringed at WTF fumbles, as have all Giants fans now and again. The Iron Man is, still and after all, just a man. But, to those Giants "fans" who ridicule him, and have wished him gone, and probably rejoice in this day, I say, "You are obviously not a true fan of this team." You obviously don't remember the carousel that was Brown to Graham to Brown to Kanell to Brown to Kanell to Graham to Kanell to Graham to Collins to Palmer to Warner in the 11 years before Eli took over the starting job for good in 2005. In the 13 years since, one man has lined up behind center for this team, and you won't realize what that meant until he's gone. And, if you think that GENO F'ING SMITH and his 12-18 lifetime W-L record truly gives the garbage that is this team "the best chance to win" any of its remaining five games, you're delusional.
In over 50 years of steadfast fandom, I have endured the ugly, and rejoiced more times at the top of the mountain than fans of innumerable other teams can only dream of. I have never been one to exalt player over team. But I have also never been more ashamed of John Mara and this team's management than I am today. Today, I exalt Eli. Like Coach Coughlin before him, he deserved better than this. I hope he finds himself reunited with his old coach in Jacksonville next year, with its stud OL, and its Pro Bowl running back, and its championship caliber defense. I hope Eli returns to Met Life in Teal and Gold and torches the Giants in their own house, his house, en route to one more Super Bowl championship. Because, lord knows, the Giants aren't sniffing another one for quite a while.

it's a desperate coach trying to do anything he can to save his job, even though he should have been fired after the SF loss.
or maybe he's auditioning for a new job as a qb coach, wants to show that he can work with shitty qbs?
he's been throwing Eli under the bus all year. the only reason he's coach is because Eli vouched for him because he wanted continuity and didn't want to have to learn a new system at 35, but that was obviously a horrible decision because the guy is obviously a hack with the absolute worst offensive scheme I've ever seen. He basically made a career on being lucky enough to have Rodgers as his QB making him look like an offensive guru, which he's obviously far from being.
