Eli On WFAN: Giants' Offense Is 'Starting To Get Into That Rhythm'
"We've gotten better each and every week, and that's the goal," Giants quarterback Eli Manning told WFAN host Mike Francesa on Friday.

"We've gotten better each and every week, and that's the goal," Giants quarterback Eli Manning told WFAN host Mike Francesa on Friday.
Just who are the real New York Giants? The definitive answer will be written during the next 12 games.
The Redskins must have thought that Larry Donnell's receiving stats after the first three games were a misprint, because they didn't pay close attention to him.
This Week 4 NFC East game felt like a must-win for both teams. The Giants played like it, dominating in a 45-14 win. The Redskins looked overmatched.
The Giants caught 32 passes on Thursday night. Twenty-eight were thrown by Eli Manning, and four came from the arm of Washington QB Kirk Cousins.
The New York Giants traveled to the nation's capital to take on the Washington Redskins in their first NFC East contest of the 2014 NFL season. The prime time affair turned into a Larry Donnell coming out party, as the young tight end caught three touchdown passes in a 45-14 dismantling of the Redskins at FedEx Field.
Larry Donnell caught three of Eli Manning's four touchdown passes, and the New York Giants moved to .500 with a 45-14 victory over the Washington Redskins on Thursday night.
Both teams know that their respective 1-2 starts won't cut it if the NFC East-leading Eagles are going to keep coming from behind to win every game.
Tom Coughlin and Eli Manning clearly must have Thursday night's game. Because once they get done with the Redskins, they face a series of challenges that have the potential to send them to another season of despair.
After a couple off iffy performances, the 11-year veteran hit 75 percent of his passes (21 of 28), threw two touchdowns and did not turn the ball over in a 30-17 win over Houston on Sunday. His quarterback rating was a whopping 123.2.
The only full day of practice will be on Tuesday, and coach Tom Coughlin said nothing will be done at full speed with Washington on tap Thursday.
Eli Manning has preached patience. On Sunday we all saw why. Now the Giants need to show they can handle the short work week.
Rashad Jennings' efforts to motivate his teammates Sunday worked wonders, especially for him. Now, the object is keeping the team together week after week.
The key offensive players for the New York Giants finally showed up, and the G-men rode the stellar efforts of Rashad Jennings, Victor Cruz and Eli Manning in their 30-17 triumph over the Houston Texans. The Giants moved to 1-2 on the season, while the Texans dropped to 2-1.
So before Jerry Recco got started with his first update, Craig downplayed Eli's efficient performance by giving him a grade of 'okay.'
It's time for the Giants to look in the mirror and figure out how they need to play. Houston has been able to execute, while coach Tom Coughlin's team has failed to do so.
The two-time Super Bowl MVP told Mike Francesa on Monday during his weekly spot on WFAN that despite their 0-2 record, the Giants aren't as far away from turning the season around as many think.
The fourth quarter contained the worst infractions: a punt return allowed for a TD, four dropped passes and two lost fumbles.
The 2014 season is beginning like a repeat of the 2013 campaign for the New York Football Giants. Even with Arizona starting quarterback Carson Palmer sidelined with a bad shoulder, the G-men could not take advantage of backup Drew Stanton seeing his first action since 2010 and handed the Cardinals a 25-14 victory at the Meadowlands.
Turnovers. Penalties. Missed tackles. Little offense. All the ingredients are in place for Big Blue to miss the playoffs for a third straight season, and even possibly match last season's 0-6 start.
"I am so sick and tired of Eli Manning," the fan, identified as John Sherman, said in a 32-second video uploaded to YouTube. "He sucks!"
Victor Cruz has been a productive member of the New York Giants' offense for four years now. In his first three seasons in the league, he averaged over 1,000 yards receiving each year. But as his statistics have declined, so has his patience. Cruz thinks that more targets by Eli Manning will turn into more production for him.
Despite a miserable game in a season-opening 35-14 loss to the Detroit Lions, the two-time Super Bowl MVP was confident Wednesday that he'll master the team's new West Coast offense and get the Giants back to their winning ways.
The last thing the Giants need is to start this season like they did last season. Monday night's effort in Detroit didn't exactly calm many nerves on that front.
Maybe the Giants could have used more preseason reps. Then again, maybe those would not have been enough, either, given the poor matchup against the Lions.
