Well to be fair McAdoo's plan was idiotic and Eli played that perfectly. You either bench him or you don't. This aint Madden football or the preseason. McAdoo’s plan was simple: Throw Geno a bone late in game 13 and amp up practice reps for Webb Then the following week either start Webb or bring him in during the game. They were trying to keep Eli’s game streak alive for him while easing the transition without calling it a benching. Eli went against his HC and refused to start. In the end it worked out well for 1 person, Eli. And terribly for one organization, the Giants. Link?? I remember McaDoo saying Eli play the 1st half to keep his streak alive while the other qbs come in the 2nd half no matter how great Eli played. McaDoo treated it like a preseason game and it backfired on him big time. Eli wanted to play to win. It was a stupid dumb and idiotic plan. Has that plan ever been on display during the regular season??

Has that plan ever been on display during the regular season?? It was a preseason game! They were 2-11 with Eli starting. They couldn’t score. Eli could have started, “played great” then see what happens. McAdoo never pulled Eli while he was playing great. They could have started Santa, the season was dead.

Has any team ever did what McAdoo plan was in the history of the NFL?? I'll wait........

If you keep playing along you risk implying that that schoolboy fantasy is reality based.

"Eli's next start may be his last at home"
We live in hope.

So you are rooting for the Giants to lose to one of the worst teams ever assembled that has a better record than the Giants? Is that what I said? It sure as hell sounded like it.

And I hope Eli nets us a win just to adulterate our draft position and make you angry. Yeah, it would be great for Eli to get a meaningless win against one of the worst teams ever assembled at the expense of the team’s future. You must be so angry the Giants won. I'm so sorry.

very cool they won. Was good to see and nice job getting Tanney in at the end so Eli could catch up with his team before the clock ran out

Aren’t you working on your new screen name yet? Can’t imagine how weak someone would have to be to constantly change screen names on a message board to avoid her bad takes. Really sad
