发帖数: 58873 | 1 CHICAGO — Eli Manning, quarterback of the only 0-6 team in football, which
means he is the quarterback of The Worst Team in Football until Peyton
Manning names his score against the Jaguars on Sunday, was fighting back the
tears after Bears 27, Giants 21.
His voice choked with emotion as he stood so lonely on a podium adjacent to
a shell-shocked visiting locker room, and he seemed closer to crying than he
was on the fourth-quarter interception that cost his team the victory it
had so desperately craved, closer to crying than he was on his two first-
quarter picks, the second one a pick-six.
“It’s not … not on me, I feel bad for my teammates,” he began. “I feel
bad for my coaches, and everybody fighting every day, and … I’m fighting
too, I’m trying to get a win for these guys … it’s tough … it’s
definitely tough at times when you don’t feel like you’re playing your
best.”
When you are The Quarterback of The Worst Team in Football, there is no more
fourth-quarter magic in your arm. You begin marching your team down the
field from your 11, and you get to the Bears’ 35, and you know you can do
this because you have done this twice before in the Super Bowl.
And of course his teammates all believed, because they have seen him rise to
occasions like this one.
“Put the ball in our hands, two-minute drill … I mean, you have flashbacks
,” Will Beatty said. “That’s the situation that you live for, like we’re
go and win the game.”
Only this time, right before the two-minute warning, you throw a ball too
high, barely, for Brandon Myers.
“Obviously threw it a little too high,” Manning said. “Feel like we’re
about to go drive to win a game, and I make a mistake.”
He has already made 15 mistakes as the quarterback of The Worst Team In
Football.
“I feel like I’m not doing my par … that’s the frustrating part. I feel
like our guys are fighting hard, and guys are doing their parts, and I need
to start doing mine,” Manning said.
Myers leaped for the ball, a ball Martellus Bennett probably would have
caught a year ago, a ball that grazed Myers’ hands and wound up in Tim
Jennings’ instead.
“You throw a ball six inches too high, and that’s the difference between
possibly winning the game and a loss,” Manning said.
His teammates respect the hell out of him, because of what he has done, and
what he stands for.
“I told them I’m going to get better these last weeks, I’m going to start
making the plays I need to make, and obviously I need to start doing that,
” he said.
The pick-six was a grievous miscommunication between Manning and Rueben
Randle, who zigged as the corner jumped the route when Manning thought he
would zag.
“We weren’t on the same page,” Randle said.
If misery loves company, Manning has plenty of company. Brandon Jacobs tried
to will The Worst Team in Football past the Bears. Perhaps Perry Fewell
should have asked Tom Coughlin if he could have borrowed Jacobs on defense
in the first half. Because sometimes the Giants resembled matadors tackling
bulls, or even bears. Half the time, they didn’t cover. They never rush the
passer anymore.
They are The Worst Team in Football because they never play four quarters,
they always find a way to lose, they never make the plays that winners make
in Winning Time.
For one half, they continued to dishonor the proud football gladiators of
yesteryear, they continued to disgrace the Big Blue uniform worn by the
Lawrence Taylors and Harry Carsons and Michael Strahans, etc., etc. — and
by the time they fixed it for the second half, it was too late.
Used to be New York Giants defense stood for something. Used to be New York
Giants defense dictated the terms of the night to the opposing offense. Used
to be.
Where have you gone, Bill Parcells and Bill Belichick? Where have you gone
John Fox? Where have you gone Steve Spagnuolo?
For the first 30 minutes, they let Jay Cutler smack them around, from pillar
to post, and if Coughlin didn’t know any better, he might have thought
that was Bill Sheridan coordinating that defense instead of Fewell.
“Trust me, it’s not just Eli,” Kevin Boothe said.
Of course it’s not. But the franchise quarterback can’t save the franchise
right now, and feels the weight of the franchise on his shoulders. Because
right now, he is the quarterback of The Worst Team In Football. | d*****e

发帖数: 1585 | 5 我倒觉得今年是这么多年二线较好的一年，白白浪费了！20号波波先生真的是好猛，挺
不错的，昨天下半场好像马歇尔到他那边之后，都没有接球了。托马斯恢复的不错，是
可能心理或者身体还是有问题，单挑永远不看球，还是做nickle比较好，正面和横向真
的防得很好；我最搞不懂的是上场防杰克逊的那个为啥不让打了，我目测他应该是二线
目前身体最牲口的一个，上场防得很不错，我觉得他才是未来的希望；希尔不错，柔儿
依然稳健。但是我总觉得DB的zone defense有问题不知道是不是教练的问题，十次有八
次有漏人，就是交代不清楚。
目前最大的问题是pass rusher和outside LB.我对他们完全无语，不知道说啥好，毫无
存在感，好在有了beason后看上去中路还算稳固。昨天好多mistackle啊。

这点我又要佩服小鸡一把。 进SB之后回来第一件事绝不能是论功行赏，而是一定要及
早的杯酒释兵权。 是把真的franchise core和一些可以替换的伪大佬分的很清楚，然
后清理队伍更换血液。。。
巨人的整个OL DL都得换。 Tuck之类的去年就应该让走。。。
