Shurmur does not feel the failures. It looks like "Throwing the ball" to me. pic.twitter.com/2Vpckys7zq

While the Giants offense was confused during a first half in which Saquon Barkley accounted for 137 of his 167 total offense yards, head coach Pat Shurmur seemed visibly frustrated by the game played by quarterback Eli Manning.
After Manning checked with Cody Latimer during a screen pass, with Saquon Barkley as an isolated receiver against the Eagles' half-corner, Ronald Darby, without any help in matters of safety, Shurmur was caught by FOX cameras pretending to scream "launches the balloon".
The Giants had a first try and 19 on this series and on three sets of consecutive passes, they failed to throw the ball beyond five meters from the line of scrimmage.
The veteran quarterbacks have traditionally had one of the highest percentages of their career under the Giants head coach, Pat Shurmur, but they have also been productive in moving the ball.
Last season, Case Keenum posted career highs in terms of percentage completion and yards per attempt with 67.6 and 7.4, respectively. Keenum is ranked 11th in the NFL in yards per attempt.
Similarly, in 2016, Sam Bradford posted the second highest percentage of completions in league history with 71.6 while the average was 7.0 yards per attempt.
However, Manning started Week 6 with an average of 9.06 yards per attempt, but finished three games with less than 7.0 yards per attempt.
In a controversial interview with ESPN last week, wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. could not even say he believed the Giants had a quarterback problem.
"Uh, I do not know," Beckham said in an interview Sunday on ESPN, when asked if the Giants had a quarterback problem. "I have the impression that … He's not going to get out of the pocket." We know Eli is not going to throw him in. Can he still throw it? Yeah. C & # 39; is cool to catch it and try to take it, but I want to go on top of someone else.
"I want to be the best I can, I do not think I'm given the opportunity to do my best, I feel like I could score goals every quarter, if I can." I know these numbers could be double or triple as they are right now. "
