5 yard penalty or a timeout?

Yea, I think in this case it was 3rd and 5. 3rd and 10 is MUCH more difficult than 3rd and 5, and possession of the ball is more important than a timeout. In this case, they took the timeout and got a false start on the next play anyway and had to do 3rd and 10, luckily they were able to get the 1st down this time.

Why do QBs constantly call timeouts when they're in danger of a delay of game penalty? Aren't timeouts (especially in the 2nd half) more important? 5 yards is nothing in the NFL. Take the penalty, keep the timeouts.

They do it because that is how they are coached up and 90% of the time it is the right call.

You guys are just stuck in old conventional wisdom. What if that game came down to a final drive and the Giants only had 1 TO because Eli didn't want to get a 5 yard penalty? Have you guys been watching the NFL over the last 5 years? 5 yards is practically nothing with all the passing that is going on nowadays.

It's situational. Personally, I haven't noticed a rampancy of poor TO calling to avoid delay of game penalties in key spots, but maybe I'm missing something.

I think most would agree that was a bad TO, and if the Giants had gone on to lose, it would've been hyper-analyzed. Eli would be losing his yellow jacket, and Coughlin would be "on the hot seat" in NY again by mid-season.

One thing I will give Eli credit for. (He deserves a lot of credit in the game!)

Was that he took the 2 sacks rather than try and force a throw. Most QB's, especially young ones, would have tried to pass the ball and risk an interception, rather than taking the sack.

Those 2 sacks on the first drive were HUGE and could have easily been an INT!

You kind of know the Giants were just toying with the Pats. When the Giants Defense were coming off the field before their last drive. They all had a smile on thair face. Like they were saying, "Hey Pats, it's the 4 QTR and now it's Eli's time! Bend over and take it like a man!"

There was a good reason for that. They knew the Pats couldn't strike quickly, and they knew they could score and chew up clock.

If these teams met 10 times it ends up the same way 8 times out of 10. It's no accident the Giants end up with the game winning drive every time, they control the ball over 60% of the game. It happened in 07 under similar circumstances, in Foxboro during the regular season, and again last Sunday.

Basically, the Pats have to play a perfect game to beat the Giants. The Giants just have to play well.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.
