We get a great replacement for Osi, and then he ends up being the immovable object that our Pro-Bowl-bound CB tears his ACL on.

We just can't win.

Is Tuck still questionable?

Officially listed as questionable, yes

He practiced in a light contact the other day.. the team thinks he'll play. Tuck isn't so sure. Kiwi was telling him to take it slow... missing one game is bette rhtan the season. If I were Tuck I'd listen to Kiwi, who the team won't pay until he proves his neck is okay... not to mention the whole Osi thing

Are we blaming Eli for that? The Patriots took advantage of a young team and ran up the meter. Eli will have big weeks but Washington was on an emotional high. I'm sure Grossman was happpy to not see Osi or Tuck chasing him down. That would have changed everything. Eli is still an elite quarterback. Even the elite QBs get thrown off their games. I doubt Brady goes for 500 yards next week and guarentee the Giants will destroy the Rams. Stay tuned...

Eli is not a bad QB. But he isn't even close to being elite right now. Brady has a body of work and how many rings to back that up? I root for Eli to succeed but he is not in the same level as Brady/Peyton. I do think he has the tools to get there and our coach is responsible for his lack of confidence and for not having people he can throw the ball to.

...or who can catch the ball when he throws it to them.

The facts are the facts. The point isn't whether Eli is a good QB, the point is Eli runs his mouth. Brady runs games, I don't care who he's running it up against. Are you seriously going to say Eli could have thrown for 500 yards if he was in the same position as Brady?. Please. It's the same old adage; STFU Eli and let your results talk for you.

Over the years Eli has lost his weapons gradually all his go to targets have been taken away. Palxico, Steve Smith, Amani Toomer, Boss all these guys are gone and now his game is hurting because all the reliable receivers that he had are all gone. Last year he had to work Nicks and Manningham into the rotation still managed to throw over 4,000 yards. How many of his interceptions were deflected into the opponents hand as a result of stone hands by his receivers? Manning is going to bounce back and play effectively he is to good and like it or not he is probably one of the most cerebral QBs out there. It doesn't help that he has to deal with a revamped offensive line to boot. This one is on the GM, Coughlin and Gilbride. The GM this year did a terrible job. Coughlin should have asked Plaxico to come to the Giants instead he steered him away from them. As for Steve Smith I don't think he would have helped much this year anyways. The loss of Boss is another factor. Smith and Boss were his go to targets especially on third down now he has to rely on a bunch of receivers that probably don't know their routes yet.
