Good news, bad news
Eli Manning went 16-23, 182 yards, 2 TDs, 1 Int (which looked like a pass interference to me but wasn't called) and a long of 49. Light years ahead of what we had been seeing. While Giants fans should be very happy with what we saw from Eli, we have to wonder about our coaches.
Why is it that Eli had to tell the coaches what plays he's comfortable running? Why weren't the coaches calling plays he could handle all along? If we can almost beat the Steelers while our defense is depleted, why do we get embarassed by 4 weeks in a row? I'm not real impressed with the Giants coaches this year.

Eli looked good, though. You're right about the Giants' coaches, too. They might still be in playoff contention if they had this offense in place three weeks ago.
