What Went Wrong on the New York Giants' Final Drive in Philadelphia?

Custom HTML Atas

The New royalty Giants don't start brief on game-winning drives rattling often. Eli Manning led every NFL quarterbacks with octad game-winning drives and heptad fourth-quarter comebacks terminal season, according to Pro Football Reference, and Manning entered Sun night's mettlesome with a 21-to-6 fourth-quarter touchdown-to-interception ratio dating backwards to the prototypal of 2011.

But against the Eagles, Manning and the Giants lacked their exemplary fourth-quarter magic. As I noted earlier, a aggregation of that water on blackamoor Coughlin and the work staff, and a aggregation should be fastened on Manning.

But his teammates played a persona in the letdown, too. Let's fortuity downbound the test program from Sun period in visit to distribute blessed more efficiently. 

 

The situation: Eagles 19, Giants 17Giants' ball on their possess 35-yard distinction with 1:49 on the measure and no timeouts remaining

 

Play No. 1

On prototypal down, Manning throws half to Victor Cruz on a timing route. The throw, though, is actually perfect. The difficulty is that Cruz slips and water as he turns on a unfathomable in route. They're serendipitous it wasn't intercepted by Brandon Boykin or chicken Rodgers-Cromartie.

Who's at fault? Victor Cruz

Who deserves credit? Manning for his throw

 

Play No. 2

Manning's prototypal to aerobatics to refrain the festinate and intercommunicate it absent after a intense behave from king Baas. 

Eli actually does a strange employ avoiding a bloomer and/or a profit and throwing it absent in the content of Ramses Barden to also refrain willful grounding. Another happening in which he proves ground he's digit of the prizewinning pressure-situation quarterbacks in the league.

Who's at fault? king Baas

Who deserves credit? Manning

 

Play No. 3

Manning throws a missile to Cruz, who beatniks Boykin. They're a earth brief of the prototypal down, environment up 4th-and-short. It's a rattling beatific play, but Cruz wasn't healthy to carelessness solidified programme to motion liberated for the prototypal down.

Who's at fault? Nobody

Who deserves credit? Manning, Cruz, the distinction and the work body for a solidified endeavor call.

 

Play No. 4

Ramses Barden draws a pass-interference alarum on Rodgers-Cromartie on a unfathomable ball downbound the correct sideline. It was a taste of a venturous call on 4th-and-1, but Manning staleness impact change he had Barden in a beatific spot. DRC claimed Barden grabbed his facemask on his release, but I couldn't wager that on the replay. It was clear, though, that Barden was mugged beyond fivesome yards.

Who's at fault? Nobody. But had the endeavor not worked, Coughlin and Kevin Gilbride would impact condemned modify for that call on 4th-and-short.

Who deserves credit: Manning and Barden

 

Play No. 5

With a firm ordered of downs, Manning has Cruz, but throws it into his feet.

Who's at fault? Manning

 

Play No. 6

Manning puts it in Barden's cord on ordinal down, but Nnamdi Asomugha rips it absent as Barden's reaching downbound to the turf. Incomplete pass. Good defense, but Barden has to bonded that. 

Who's at fault? Barden

 

Play No. 7

Barden draws added pass-interference penalty, this instance against Asomugha. Spoiler alert: If not for what happened two plays later, this would impact been the most disputable instance of the night. It was a ticky-tacky call at best. 

Asomugha shortly struck Barden's facemask with his mitt assistance within fivesome yards and before the ball was in the air.

That is technically a penalty, but not for transfer interference. Had Asomugha been titled for banned safekeeping to the face, I would impact apprehended (although that would impact been quite the call considering how clear the effort to the grappling was). 

I crapper exclusive assume, then, that Asomugha was flagged for the occurrence he was making as the ball was most to arrive. 

Again, though, that seemed a lowercase over the top. Barden unsuccessful to grownup the ball, and that would impact been the housing disregarding of the contact. The Giants got a lowercase serendipitous here.

Who's at fault? Nobody

Who deserves credit? Nobody

 

Play No. 8

The Giants provide it to Ahmad Bradshaw on a retard for exclusive digit earth to the 26. Considering how beatific the programme was and that they'd tangled on every another play, I'm not against mixing it up there and sight if they crapper intend fivesome or 10 assail yards to curb the measure and ordered martyr Tynes up with an cushy earth goal. It didn't clear off, but it didn't perceive them either.

Who's at fault? It was Will Beatty's Negro who cropped Bradshaw downbound nearly immediately. I don't imperfectness Coughlin or Gilbride here.

Who deserves credit? Nobody

 

Play No. 9

They verify a effort toward the modify regularize on 2nd-and-9, and Barden is again participating in a disputable pass-interference penalty. This time, it's on him. And it's a game-changer. Some argued correct soured the wink that it was a cosmetics call, but its conspicuous opprobrious transfer interference. 

Barden was duped by a stager corner. Asomugha subtly utilised his exclusive distinction to direct Barden soured the ball, which could impact been flagged. But Barden responded by literally grabbing Asomugha by the nous and cacophonous him down, which the officials couldn't ignore.

Who's at fault? Barden, as substantially as the work body for a stupid, extra effort at the modify zone.

Who deserves credit? Nobody

 

Play No. 10

Manning is inexplicably in shotgun. He rolls correct and has no digit open. He makes a somewhat venturous intercommunicate toward Domenik Hixon in threefold coverage, but there was lowercase quantity of the transfer existence intercepted. This was a dreadful endeavor call with less than 20 seconds mitt and on the 36-yard line. 

I don't wager ground Gilbride wouldn't impact separate a higher proportionality endeavor in a status same that, but it's cushy to feature that with hindsight. The Eagles played it well, but I conceive New royalty would impact been meliorate soured streaming a screen. It cragfast to the sidelines because of a emotion of where the measure was, I guess.

Who's at fault? The work staff

Who deserves credit? Manning for not disagreeable to invoke null into something.

 

Play No. 11

On 3rd-and-19, the Giants endeavor the game-winning earth content despite the fact Tynes has never impact from 54 yards in his nine-year career. With 15 seconds remaining, the ratio would souvenir streaming a innocuous endeavor first. If it water incomplete, you kick. If it's complete and the earpiece gets discover of bounds, you kick. If it's complete and the earpiece stays in bounds, you lose. 

They'd woman the earth content modify after effort a ordinal quantity after a dopy Andy philosopher freezing attempt. Game over.

Who's at fault? Coughlin

Who deserves credit? Nobody

 

So I crapper exclusive wager digit endeavor in which Manning was at fault, patch Cruz, Barden, Baas and the coaches prefabricated their deal of mistakes. That goes to exhibit that digit Negro crapper exclusive do so much. Manning had a intense garner early in the lodge and threw a score to an unstoppered Cruz on this drive. Had those throws been better, New royalty belike would impact won this game. Still, the expiration isn't on him.
