PHILADELPHIA — You wanted this. Even those of you who wanted Eli Manning out the door wanted this. Even if it was just for one last pass.
Anyone with a Big Blue heart wanted one last memory from the Giant with the biggest heart of them all, and inside the riotous Linc on Monday night, where it all began for your beloved No. 10 in Garbage Time relief of Kurt Warner, you got it.
Pat Shurmur took the football away from your beloved Eli after only two weeks into his 16th season to start the clock on the Daniel Jones Era and he was forced to turn to your beloved Eli and ask him to prevent a historic ninth consecutive defeat, which would earn the 2019 Giants a place in the Hall of Shame alongside the 1976 Giants and push this 7-21 head coach yet another step closer to Dead Coach Walking, if he isn’t already, especially with Ron Rivera on the unemployment line.
