You and Adam Schein are damn genius' and I mean that with all sincerity. Bravo, gentlemen. Regardless of how good or bad the Bills D is against Eli, I would never have believed they'd bench him this soon for the youngster. If memory serves me the last few dates with Eli and the Bills did not go well for our D-fellas. Even without OBJ2k whatever his name is (diva). But seriously. When I read the headline my jaw dropped. Un friggin' canny. I hope you placed some kind of sizeable wager somewhere on that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago - They already have Chase Daniel as Trubisky's backup though, and might not want to put any additional pressure on Trubisky as is. Green Bay - Their current backup is Tim Boyle. Jets - They probably think Darnold is only out a few more weeks though, so maybe they hold off, but Eli would certainly be an upgrade over Falk in the interim if they want to keep any hopes of a successful season alive. That's all I got. Saints as a stop gap? Probably not. Broncos? They aren't afraid to cycle QBs. Chargers? Jags? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabattBlue Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 IMO...unless Eli ask for a trade or ask to be put on waivers, he is going nowhere. He has 14 more games in a career that includes two SB wins. He has played his whole career with one team, and I’d like to think he goes out with that on his resume...on his way to the HoF.

They have a litany of problems, and Eli was undoubtedly one of them. I wonder if there will be any trade interest in Eli, and if so, who.

NoHuddleKelly12 Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 For many years during the drought that must not be named, we would've been so lucky to have a QB of Eli's caliber, past few seasons excepted. Obviously his taking out the Pats 2x will doubtless stick in Hoodie/Tommy Brady's craws for years to come...that's a hill they never climbed lol. That said, the Giants should've sat Eli some time ago, as his best days were markedly well behind him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlCowlingsTaxiService Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Eli definitely has had better days, but he is far from the only issue with the G Men ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is he a hall of famer? He has pretty good numbers but he is a 500 starter and his teams have been pretty lousy the last few years I think hes in the hall of good, not fame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t remember the specifics but it seems that in the last few seasons there have been other QBs who are benched after losing to the Bills. Coaches have also been fired after a loss to Buffalo.

BobbyC81 Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 This just continues a total disaster start of the season for the QB position for my fantasy team in a 2 Starting QB 12-team league. I started it in the draft when I drafted Goff and Brees, who have the same bye. So then I decided to draft two more QBs so I was covered for that one week and added Foles and Eli. After Foles got injured, I put him on IR and added Minshew. With 12 teams, he was all that was left. With this injuries this past weekend, Bridgewater and Mason Rudolph were gobbled up quickly (no waivers). With Seimian now out, Falk is available but Darnold should be back before Goff’s week 9 bye. I’ll just have to wait until then to see who’s available. I won’t drop Eli in case he is traded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apuszczalowski Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 You can argue he isn't a first ballot HOFer, but there's no argument that he will be in the HOF soon after he is retired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirAndrew Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 I can see Eli gets a lot of love around here being the guy who beat the Pats. He certainly isn’t THE problem in NY, but he has been washed up for quite some time. Eli’s career is over, and he’s always been quite overrated imo. The dude has had some great seasons, but it was time for the Giants to move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
