Eli Manning

Image
What a goddamn shitstorm. Look the Giants season is over, we all get that. What isnt over is Ben Mcadoos job but you have to believe that is coming to an end. The cardinal sin of a coach is to bench a quarterback that brought your city a superbowl. Look, once your city wins the big one, the quarterback is immortal. He plays until he is finished playing (see Flacco, Joe). The worst part about this decision is the fact that his offensive line sucks and all of his receivers are dead. What does he do? somehow put up 200 plus yards a ball game. This is another in a long line of wrong moves by Benny boy since last years playoff debacle. Oh yeah, did I mention Geno Smith is getting the start? If you are going with a "youth movement" (as the Giants have claimed) why not start rookie Davis Webb? It just doesn't make sense.  P.S. Mcadoo had the nerve to ask Eli if he wanted the ceremonial start to keep his streak alive. No seriously, he was going to start Manning and then bench ...

What you got wrong about Tyrod Taylor

Image
Everybody seemed to get this wrong. Is Tyrod Taylor better then Nate Peterman, obviously. And Im talking before that pathetic display on sunday. However, if you think this benching was strictly performance based you do not understand how the NFL works. When a new coach is hired they want to bring in their own players and do things their own way. This means adding the quarterback you choose, unless the guy in place is awesome. Tyrod Taylor, slightly above average, not awesome. Also Rex Ryan's quarterback. And dont give me his touchdown to interception ratio like its some be all end all stat. Sure he doesnt turn the ball over, he also doesn't throw for 300 yards and put the team on his back. Most importantly he doesn't win enough games, sorry. I will say the timing of the move is the one sticking point. You go to a new qb when you are out of the playoff hunt, not in a fucking wild card spot. Mcdermott fucked up there. But lets not pretend this benching was some egregious i...

16 Takeaways from Week 11

1. Dak Prescott is not ready to carry a team. No Zeke and Smith hurts but 3 interceptions wont do it. 2. Carson Wentz is the MVP so far. They keep rolling over teams and he keeps getting better. They are the best team in the NFC. 3. Cutler should be benched: Love him to death but Matt Moore has earned a shot 4. Lions are ready to make a run. No run game no problem, as long as Stafford is playing quaterback they have a shot. 5. The Jags are ready for the playoffs. But they are not ready for a playoff win, this isnt an issue when your core is as young as they are. Just picture Blake Bortles in the playoffs. 6. Cleveland may never win a game. Theyre just fucking terrible but they're stuck. I dont think a coaching change will do anything at this point. They just have to play the long game and hope some of these young guys pan out 7. Baltimore has a playoff defence and a high school offence. Joe Flacco is terrible. Just goes to show you, win a super bowl and you will never b...

Condensed Preview for Week 11

TB-Mia: No Jameis means no victory for the Bucs. Both teams have struggled to find a groove on offence. However, I see Cutler and Co making enough plays to win this game in ugly fashion. Phins defence harasses Shitzpatrick all day. Phins by a td Det-Chi: This will be one of those divisional games that detriot should win. Chicago will stick around with their punishing run game leading the charge. Trubisky will take another step forward and have the bears competitive. But the Bears secondary will be no match for Stafford, Tate and Jones. Detriot in a close affair Jax-Cle: Today is not the day Browns fans. Pass rush sacks Kizer 5 plus times and Leonard Fornette has a huge game. Bal-GB: Baltimore's defence will put them in position to win. The question for the Ravens is: can they get the play action going. This is when Flacco is at his absolute best. They will need a big game from Buck Allen and Alex Collins. For the Pack, it remains to be seen if last week was a trend or aberrat...

Steelers-Titans preview

The dreaded "skycam" will be an interesting look at your favorite game of real life madden. If its anything like last weeks preview, Im so out on this. Im a big fan of actually seeing the receivers but hey i guess thats just me. The game itself is going to be a good one. Both teams are at the top of the AFC and still actually have their starting qbs healthy. For the Titans this is a great matchup on offence. The steelers excel defending the pass but struggle a bit against the run. The exotic smashmouth approach should flourish assuming Demarco Murray is healthy. Thats not to say Derrick Henry cant carry the load, just that two sick runners is better then one. Mariota just needs to do what he does best, protect the ball and pick up some yards on the ground. The steelers offence seems to always be in a good position. The emergence of Smith-Schuster adds another dimension to this already potent offence. Despite the Titans decent defence, I have no doubt the Steelers will put up ...

NFL recap week 10 part 1

Hawks- Cards: as is common in seahawks land, russell wilson bent over and pulled a game out of his ass. Now I knew this was going to happen at some point. But he really convinced me that my injury riddled team had a chance and then crushed us into oblivion. Even Seahawks fans have to be fed up with their teams theatrics right? Russell Wilson just straight up refusing to take a concussion test comes to mind. Oh yeah theres also this Sherman guy who tore his achilles and then proceeded to walk a marathon on the sideline telling people he tore his achilles. Maybe go to the locker room dude, I dont know. Anyways I digress. This Cards team was overmatched but they came to play, something to be said about that. NO-Buf: So this "game of the weekend" thing didnt really workout. Buffalo is doing their thing where they play super well at the beginning of the year and then mail it in for the second half. I dont know what exactly happened to the Saints but they are unrecognizable. The ...

Quick previews for the upcoming games

ATL-CAR: Will the Kelvin Benjamin trade somehow workout, hard to picture. Can the Falcons finally play with the consistency they did last year? Or will they blow another lead? My money is the Falcons. IND-HOU: If your not a fan of either team, im not sure how you watch this game. Tom Savage stinks. Jacoby Brissett can ball but that oline is putrid. Knowing the NFL this will be one of the best games of the afternoon. CIN-JAX: Qbs beware. These teams both feature beast front sevens. Expect the Jags to squeak out a win in an old school defensive showdown. TB-NO: If the Bucs can just live up to their potential this will be a high scoring game. That is a big if though. The Saints are quietly going about their business as their defence has been very average. Thats all Drew Brees needed all these years, average. Saints take it in a shootout LA-NYG: The Rams maybe the best team in the NFL, yeah I said it. The Giants might be the worst team in football. You do the math. DEN-PHI: If on...
