Chip Kelly admits turnovers are “frustrating”

And this is one of those times.

Beckham has strained hamstring. They do have the NFL’s sixth best rushing defense allowing just 93 yards per game.

New York Giants’ left guard Justin Pugh has only been in the league for less than three years, but on a team that has undergone extensive roster turnovers the past two off seasons, he is quickly establishing himself as an elder statesman of the squad. “We have our nice little (weekly) recovery day tomorrow, then we practice Saturday”. So definitely just looking forward to that and Sunday. “I think the tape speaks for itself”. Not much went right for the Giants after that as they went on to lose 27-7.

More mental reps, more mental reps”, he said. Despite a quick start, Big Blue were nothing short of disastrous in a primetime loss to the Philadelphia Eagles last week and things don’t get any easier this Sunday.

But if Beckham had his druthers, he’s join his teammates on the practice field. It also brought back memories of their debacle in Philadelphia last season, the one that sent them on a seven-game losing streak in missing the playoffs for the third straight year. If he can actually practice this week, there could be a chance he plays Sunday although at this point, it still seems like a long shot. And the secondary, although we have a few new pieces, those guys are hard-working, high-football IQ guys that have a great understanding of it, and that’s why you don’t see guys running free through the zone. Two defensive series later, Nolan Carroll II picked off Eli Manning and took it 17 yards for the score. Coughlin said the trade-off is worth it. “It may be that way for a while”. Good or bad, Kelly’s offense will always garner headlines.

“I’m not really sure where I thought I would be six games in”, said Bradford. “We got the five yards, got the first down and went down and scored”. Manning targeted him just once in the second half, when Beckham was constantly double-teamed by the Eagles’ defense.

I hope Bradford eliminates the interceptions, but I’m not convinced that he will because the former Heisman Trophy victor was able to stay away from throwing interceptions in the past because he wouldn’t throw the ball downfield like he’s doing here in Philly. “It was tough to find completions out there”, Manning said. He’s not playing with good judgement, and if he doesn’t straighten things out, he’s going to start costing the team games. “You’re going to get your runs from him, which is unique to the NFL”. The 245-pound quarterback can shed ensuing tacklers and extend plays in ways other quarterbacks cannot.

Offensive coordinator Ben McAdoo also said other Giants have to pick up the slack. They beat Washington, Buffalo and the 49ers in close games.

DOMINANT HALF: The Eagles held the Giants to 55 total yards in the second half, including 27 yards passing. We just want the tape to speak volumes, and we don’t really care about who’s getting credit. “It wasn’t Odell. We had a bad half of football that we need to fix, and it’s fixable”. It’s fair to say that we can count them out of the race for now.
