Eli got benched?
Yep. Ben McAdoo needs to go. At least start Webb over Geno Smith...
McAdoo is in desperation mode, trying to make something happen in order to save his job.
Eli isn't having his best year. He's not turning the ball over, as he has a career best low INT percentage. But he is at 9-year lows in terms of yards per game and yards per average, and he's taking the second-highest sack rate in his career.
Of course, that yardage per game and sack rate would be career bests for Geno Smith.
He saw what McDermott did a couple of weeks ago and said hold my beer.
Agreed, but Manning wasn't the problem. The O line is abysmal, the WR's corps are decimated and the defense lost it's way. If McAdoo was looking to the future, start Webb, not Smith.

Obviously. Did you see him beat the league's best defense Sunday? All he needed was a chance!
I don't understand, Arizona didn't play Baltimore.
Pfft, Baltimore defense. They give up more passing yards than their offense gains every single week!
Could it be the NFLs version of tank mode?
What do the Giants actually get out of winning games at this point and risking Manning getting crippled? Then again Eli is 37 this Jan anyways.
It's more preventing winning if anything.
Is there a rumor I am not hearing about Eli to Denver? Some Bronco fan in another forum is posting like Elis to Denver is basically a done deal. I mean, they can't do a trade now, right? Is it just really wishful thinking?

Absolutely wishful thinking; it's past the deadline. The Giants could conceivably cut Eli and he could go where he wants, but why would anyone sign him this late in the season? It's not like there's time to learn a playbook, so you'd be facing a potential Josh Freeman vs. the Giants on Monday Night kind of horror show. There's just not any time to get ready to actually play well with only a little bit of the season left.
An interesting sidebar to the Eli benching story: Assuming Geno Smith doesn't fall in a hole, is struck by a meteor, whatever, between now and Sunday, the Giants will be the final NFL team to start a black QB.

FTFY.
Hell, I was probably watching Moon play for KC and could not figure out which black QB ever started for the Chiefs. I do remember one spectacularly awful day when Moon threw for over 500 yards against the Chiefs in KC.
Look at the pass at 1:07. Remember when that used to be a catch. No way that gets called a completion today.
