NYG @ DAL Unfiltered

"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." - Tom Coughlin 

"That's 100 percent on me. That can't happen. I've got to take the sack." - Eli Manning

Folks, thats two people taking blame for one mistake. 

Eli thought Dallas called their last timeout when the defensive end jumped on the free play to Odell to get the first. Giants declined the penalty, but the clock still stopped, Cowboys didn't need to call a timeout.

When I saw Eli roll out, I started fucking screaming at my television. There is no fucking way you should call a pass play there. I don't even blame Coughlin, he is falling on the sword here for the defense (at the end of the game), and Macadoo.

Then there is this:

A frustrated Rashad Jennings told me, “As a running back, it’s always hard when they tell you not to score.”

Why in the WORLD would they tell Jennings not to score? You are up 10 with 1:40 left in the game? It's GAME OVER! ... Getting back to that 3rd down play,

Should Eli have just laid down? Sure. Probably the smartest play after the offensive coordinator botched the fucking call. But say Eli takes the sack, gets hit, fumbles? Scoop and score? Then what? People yell that he should have thrown it away. Bottom line, the call was absolutely horrendous. EVERYONE has to be smarter, from Eli to Coughlin to Macadoo.

Look at the last drive, that penalty at around 2:25 left, when there was a quick run to the left by Jennings. The Cowboys call a timeout, THEN Mincey hits Flowers across the face and draws the 15 yard penalty. I do not understand that rule. How they get the timeout back even though the penalty was AFTER the timeout being called. Another big situation in this game.

You also have to look at the lack of pressure by this defensive line. Spags was brought in because he is supposed to figure out how to use the talent he has, however bad it may be, to create pressure. It was like watching last year all over again, just marched down the field twice in the 4th.

A rookie mistake by Landon Collins not following Witten across the formation and let him walk into the end zone.

Then of course, you give Romo another 30-40 seconds by throwing the fucking football at the end there. They knew the running backs were faster than the linebackers, and they just went straight down the field.

Oh, that Pass Interference call on DRC in the 3rd? That third down incomplete pass in the end zone? That call was absolute fucking bullshit. You are allowed to touch the receiver, you just cannot pull, you can't redirect him. All he did was touch him: 

That makes it first down, and they end up scoring.

You watch Preston Parker drop THREE third down conversions. They keep Parker, drop James Jones (who scored 2 FUCKING TOUCHDOWNS today). Victor Cruz... how's that calf?

1-4 in the redzone. NOT going to do it.

Positives? Yeah there are a bunch, I guess. The line kept Eli upright for the majority of the game. The defense did a pretty solid job against the run game. Prince and DRC did real well on the outside.

Giants didn't have Beason, didn't have Cruz. Didn't have JPP either, but he is a dumb motherfucker who is probably out all season, so I don't even count him. There were rookies starting at MLB and Safety. Left tackle is a rookie too. Giants came out of there pretty unscathed in terms of injuries. Meriweather came up with a huge play on that hit that caused the INT. Just got to the team, out there making plays.

Oh yeah: Dez broke a bone in his foot, needs surgery, out 4-6 weeks.
