Not gonna go ahead and say he's a shitty QB like so many will tomorrow on WFAN, but god damn man. Chill with the stupid mistakes.
The fumble is definitely his fault. No doubt. That said...

One thing I don't think anyone is criticizing about the Giants this year is their offensive line. It has sucked. There has been some minor injuries where guys have missed games but nothing significant. The run blocking is god awful. The pass blocking is real suspect at times too. There has been games where Eli has played well in spite of this, but last night was not one of them.

I couldn't tell from the stands if it was Babin or Cole, but McKenzie was getting bull rushed all the way into Eli on a 5 step drop. Ridiculous.

I also think that the Giants have come to rely on getting pressure from rushing four on defense too much. They just don't dial anything up if that's not working.
