That sucks. Hopefully Shep is ready to rock week 1.
Who steps up? Latimer? Engram?

Of course it’s upheld. Anyone not with the last name Tate knew it was a fishy story. Way to start the season on a new team.

So if Eli struggles against Dallas for the lack of play makers at the wide receiver position excuse goes out the window right? Cool.. ”This guy” is a high priced free agent who was supposed to be an integral part of our offense. He won’t be easily replaced by the Fowler’s and Latimers of the team.

Eli is a HOF pocket passing QB. He needs an O-line to operate. If they block for Eli week 1, they'll put up 25+ no problem.

Like Eli has had his whole career

I don't think anyone thought he was the missing link to make the Offense go. The missing link was traded for box of chocolates. My point is don’t discredit Tate and think any player on the team can easily replace him.

Too bad, but not surprising. The league almost never grants the appeal on this. Next man up.

I’m real down on this idiot. We pay him a boatload of cash, and he gets himself suspended for the first 4 games ... in a season where we really need to start strong.
Thanks pal

Kind of a shame for Eli. I could see this leading to a bad start, which leads to Eli being sat for Jones, which leads to Eli having played his last snap for the team. Only way Eli finishes the season is the Giants are winning games and this puts him one step closer to him not even having a chance.

It’s the HC’s job to adapt and set a game plan based on the personnel he expects to have. No more excuses. We have a favorable schedule this year but we have two huge division games in the first four weeks.

Way to start the season on a new team. it is no secret in the football or bodybuilding circle that fertility drugs that are on the banned list such as clomid for example are used as a post cycle therapy to increase your testosterone and help your levels recover after a steroid cycle. of course it was going to stick.
