Eli can't throw that pick, but I hated the call. Run and kick and go up three scores.

Good win today I thought the D was v good BUT the offensive coordinator has to go his play selection all season long SUCKS

In all the years Rex coached the jets I never saw him as piss*d off as he has shown the last two games. Frank

Same. I keep thinking of the situational play calling with this team as "blunders," but starting to realize that's not the case. They are not going into 4-minute offense with leads. They're going to just keep attacking. I hate it. You need to be smart and judicious or you're simply extending the game unnecessarily for the opponent.

Tom took the blame for it again. He said he told McAdoo to go win it on the play that resulted in the interception at like the Buffalo 2-yard line. Sigh.

If you go for the TD and make it the Bills need three scores to tie the game. If you settle for the FG the Bills still need three scores to tie the game and personally that's why I thought it was a bad call in that situation plus remember an interception can turn into a TD and run very little time running off the clock .

Anyone enjoying the fact that we now have multiple RBs that can actually catch and run after the catch? I know I am. This has been missing in the Giants offense for a long time.

The late game interception was definitely on Eli. You just can't make that mistake at that point in the game. Giants got very lucky when the ensuing Bills TD got called back.

Yes, of course, but the correct call was to run till 4th down and kick the FG and go up 17. Just like the correct call vs Dallas was to run on all four downs to kill as much clock as possible. Eli killed up both times with bad throw/decision. But both calls sucked imo.

 

[Burnsly]

Right, both calls definitely sucked. I'm not sure how thrilled I am that McAdoo is supposedly the heir apparent to Coughlin.

With the transformation going on with the D, I am hoping Spags jumps over him, though his HC record is kinda scary.

 

[Piratz]

When you hit it right with an undrafted free agent it's pure luck because if you believed the player would be a starter and contributor you would have drafted him. It's just like drafting a player in the 30th round of the MLB draft who turns into an all-star. Reese has had way too many misses with his premium picks especially in the third and fourth rounds and his failure to sign those impact free agents.

Heard during the MNF game that Seattle currently has 24 UFA's on its 53 man roster.

 

[Piratz]

The seem hellbent on throwing the ball and not using the clock judicious with the run game. A few yards and a pile of dirt works wonders when you have a lead in the 4th Quarter!

 

[Piratz]

It is nice to see Spags barking out the orders on D.

He's a great coach. Excellent tactician but also master motivator. In many of the seasons here with guys like Sheridan and Fewell running the defense it really crystalized how motivation and communication are just as critical as strategy.
