Things are back to normal for the New York Giants.They lost a tough one to th

EAST RUTHERFORD https://www.giantsfanshop.com/hats , N.J. (AP) — e Eagles after building an early 12-point lead. Odell Beckham's Jr., who had spoken of running the table and making the playoffs for weeks, got frustrated after the setback and questioned coach Pat Shurmur's play calling against a banged-up Philadelphia secondary.It ended with the coach fending off questions Monday about his decisions; his limited use of halfback Saquon Barkley in the second half; Eli Manning's status as the starting quarterback; and his refusal to rebuke Beckham, saying his star receiver was venting after an emotional, last-minute 25-22 loss. Really, it was what one would expect with the Giants (3-8) heading into the final five weeks of the season with one of the worst records in the NFL and virtually no hope of getting to the playoffs. They are frustrated after winning six of 27 games over the last two seasons.With that, Shurmur has to get the team ready to play the Chicago Bears (8-3) at MetLife Stadium on Sunday."You go into every week with giving your team the best opportunity to win the football game each week," Shurmur said. "That's how you do this thing. This isn't player tryouts, this is do everything in your power to win the next game. Today's Monday, so we're in the Monday phase of that process."As far as looking back on Sunday, Shurmur downplayed Beckham's questioning the play calling, noting the Giants threw 37 times and ran 18. He noted the passing game had seven plays of 18 yards or better, one off the team's high for the season."You'll have to ask him to define it after he watches the tape, but I felt like we were trying to do the things necessary to win the game," Shurmur said. "We still got production in the running game, had a couple third-down calls in the red zone that were close. If it goes in, that's a different story."Beckham only speaks to the media on Thursday, so he was not available for comment.The big difference Sunday was the second half. The Giants had five possessions, including a three-play drive in the waning seconds, and gained three first downs. They ran 22 plays as opposed to 38 in the first half, when they scored on their first four possessions in taking a 19-12 lead. They were in position to try a late field goal, but Manning was intercepted on an ill-advised toss.Shurmur did not hesitate to say the 37-year-old Manning will remain the starting quarterback because he gives the Giants the best chance to win. He did not seem interested in questions suggesting the team should start rookie Kyle Lauletta or backup Alex Tanney with the season going nowhere.Manning also wasn't interested in a change, saying he wants to play. He also believes the team will fight."We've got a good group of guys," he said. "It's important to the guys. We feel like we're going to keep fighting New York Giants Hoodie , we're going to keep preparing, and going out there and still chase that feeling of that locker room after a win. That's a good feeling. It makes the week go easier."The Giants have had trouble finishing the past two seasons, with Sunday the latest example."I think we need to learn how to win again here," Shurmur said. "The last two weeks, we won one by coming back. A week ago, we won one by playing from the front. This week, we got ahead on a team and didn't hold the lead, so there's things to be learned in all three of those as you learn to win a game. We're doing it with a lot of very young players, and a lot of really backup-type players from our initial roster, so it's a great opportunity for them to help us win."NOTES: TE Evan Engram felt his hamstring grab during warmups. He says his status is day to day. … WR-return man Quadree Henderson fractured a shoulder and probably will be put on injured reserve. … The Giants felt Walt Anderson's officiating crew missed two late calls, both involving Beckham. There was no call when Beckham was clearly held on a third-and-4 play from the Eagles 11 before Aldrick Rosas‘ tying 29-yard field goal with 5:52 to play. Beckham also was tackled by Eagles linebacker Kamu Grugier-Hill with a trip on the final play of the game, a 10-yard unsportsmanlike penalty. It also could have been a leg whip, which is 15 yards. It would have set up a 62 or 67-yard field-goal attempt with the wind. "Anywhere from 70 and in I would've had to go out there," Rosas said. "I would've been pretty confident. Just get it up there, hit it nice and let it carry." When he held his season-ending press conference, GM Dave Gettleman wouldn’t commit fully to Eli Manning as the quarterback of the New York Giants in 2019. “My commitment is to make this team the best team it can be,” Gettleman said. “If that happens to have Eli playing quarterback it does.”That was on Jan. 2. Nearly two full weeks later, no puff of blue smoke has come from 1925 Giants Drive to announce one way or another what will happen for the team at quarterback in the upcoming season. I put the question of what the Giants should do at quarterback to a number of analysts. Interestingly, every response I received expressed the belief that Manning will be the quarterback for the Giants when the 2019 season opens.Question“Who do you believe “will” be the Giants QB in 2019? And, who “would” the quarterback be if you were making the decision?”Below, the responses.Answers Emory Hunt, Football GamePlanWill: EliWould: [Dwayne] HaskinsEli is under contract for one more year, so it makes some sense to go into the season with him as the starter. Haskins, in my opinion B.J. Goodson Color Rush Jersey , is exactly what the Giants offense needs from the QB position. He can accurately attack all levels of the field. And I wouldn’t hesitate to roll with him from Day 1. Short term strategy, with a look to the future; I’d give Eli 4 games max before handing the keys over to Haskins.Sam Monson, Pro Football FocusWill be? Eli.If it was me, would be? Kyler Murray. Can you imagine the human freak show of skill position triplets of Murray at QB, Saquon at RB and OBJ at WR???Murray had PFF grades right up there with Baker Mayfield (albeit over 1 year, not 3), and has waaaaay more athleticism. He’s a legit QB prospect and if he enters the draft he should be the first QB taken, 5’9 be-damned.Matt Williamson, Locked on NFLI think Eli will and should be the starter, but ideally, they draft someone like Haskins as the obvious heir apparent.Dan Hatman, The Scouting AcademyI think it will be Eli. I would have traded #2 or taken a QB last year. The draft slot vs. the QB market this year is a bit strange and if Dave [Gettleman] goes BPA and doesn’t trade down, I wouldn’t be surprised to see QB wait until Round 2.Dave-Te Thomas, Scouting Services Inc.2019 Season opener likely - Eli2019 Week 4-to-season finale - whoever they draftWho I’d take: Round One - Haskins, but with all those DL guys out there, Ed Oliver at #6, Daniel Jones at #38.Kyler Murray thoughts - “Dude is so small, he could sleep in a sock.”Christian D’Andrea, SB Nation Eli Manning will be the Giants’ QB, even though he’s got an acceptable dead cap hit ($6.2m), because New York doesn’t have anyone else, and throwing a rookie quarterback to the wolves behind New York’s embattled offensive line is borderline cruelty.Final thoughtsThe results here really are not a surprise. In betting parlance, Manning is the chalk. He will be the starting quarterback ... until he’s not.
