Eli Manning was put in his place. We were laughing the whole time watch the game. The best part was when Trotter nailed him out of bounds and the Giants team had to stick up for Eli because he was not going to do it for himself. And my boy Darth Dawkins intercepted him. That was the icing on the cake for me. NFC East champs, w00t w00t!

I knew it was going to be a bad game for Eli when they showed pregame warmups. McNabb and Owens were on the field in the pouring rain practicing with one another and there was Eli in the stadium tunnel, out of the rain, throwing passes back and forth to Kurt Warner. It is like what the hell, you are going to be playing outside so go out and practice outside with your wide recievers and not the other QB. It is just rain you baby.

I could be imagining this, but on the Philadelphia local news tonight I could have sworn I heard them say Eli Manning had a 16% QB rating.  Can anyone verify this?  If that is true, that is hilarious.

Its pretty funny how you guys are killing him already. If anyone else was in that situation youd let him slide. 1st year in the pros, his recievers drop the ball a lot and the o-line sucks. The 2 teams hes played have very good defenses, Atlanta was 2nd in the NFL in sacks, so even veterans havent had success against them and the Eagles defense is very good all around. Im not even a Giants fan but Im a Patriots fan and I live in NY. Its talked a ton more on the sports radio stations here by guys who know a lot more of what theyre talking about than any of us.

"I'm a lot happier now than I was 10 minutes ago," Manning said during a second news conference; his first came when he still belonged to the Chargers .  "We wanted a trade to happen. We never had favorite teams (BULLSH1T  :angry:)."  Through Archie and agent Tom Condon, the Mannings told San Diego general manager A.J. Smith not to take Eli, and that Eli was prepared to sit out the season if they did choose him (LITTLE CRYBABY WOULD SIT OUT IF HE DID NOT GET HIS WAY.  POOR BABY.  :cry:). The Mannings preferred New York, and got what they sought.

This is why I hate him with a passion. For what he did at the draft to the Chargers, he deserves what he gets. He came off with an attitude that he was better then everyone else in the draft, so why should he play for a crappy team like the Chargers. Since he was the son of Archie and the brother of Payton he had the mentality that he should be playing for a more prestigious team, not a team that was the lowest of the low. Then he and his family complained, pulled their weight and had him sent to the Giants. I thought that was a cowardly thing to do and that he was a little brat who cried and got his way.

QBs like McNabb, Culpepper, and Vick for instance, turned **** poor jokes of teams around into forces to be reckoned with. They did not cry or have their families get them traded to other teams. They stepped up to the challenge and produced.

too bad the Eagles aren't the best team in PA.  And now with TO, what are you guys going to use as an excuse when you blow the NFC championship game as usual?

585006704[/snapback]

Bad ref calls? I do not know why would have to give an excuse if we lost. Am I supposed to feel bad that some people thing Pittsburgh is the better team in PA? Good for them. We won't be seeing them in the NFC championship game and I would be happy enough if the Eagles made it to the superbowl, let alone win it. Edited by jmole

Rookie Years

Culpepper had a tremendous Rookie season followed by 2 average ones by his standards. Why would he be whining about what team he goes to in the Draft? He went to University of Central Florida, a ton of big names come outta there.

Vick had a 62.7 passer rating in 8 games. TD: 2 INT: 3

McNabb had a 60.1 passer rating in 6 games. TD: 8 INT: 7. Also avg. yardage 4.4 per pass, very little

They all had descent lines too, and thankfully didnt have Toomer and Shockey on their teams to drop balls when theyre thrown.

They didn't seem to be dropping passes on Sunday. They looked like bad throws to me, which is why Eli was 6 for 21.

I honestly think Eli Manning is going to be the next Tim Couch. I remember in 1999 when they hyped up Couch saying he was going to be the future of the NFL and was one of the best QB draft picks ever. He had all these college stats and records that backed up that claim, but he never produced in the end. The Browns had only reached the playoffs once and that was when Holcomb took charge. Now he is washed up. I think all this hype about Eli Manning is for nothing and I do not think he will be that great in the future. I could be wrong and be eating my words a few years later, but that is my opinion. I just think people are blinded by the accomplishments of his brother and father and they can't even fathom that Eli could possibly suck.

I bet that Eli's career will be like Kerry Collin's

I remember that Collins was considered the next Montana in his rookie year :D

585006819[/snapback]

Exactly. The Gints fans just won't accept it. Warner didn't have anywhere near a 16.9 QB rating in the games he played in NY. So what was that about the O-line? The WR? Have those changed?

:laugh: Eli really sux0rs.

You should feel retarded after saying that. The Eagles got handled by Pittsburgh. Face it bud, its not their year. The only team that can bring down the Steelers right now is the Colts. Peyton is just amazing. We'll see when we get there though. Until then, Pittsburgh is the best team in PA without a doubt.

Oh, I almost forgot. You weren't kiddin when you said we won't see Pittsburgh in the NFC championship! Its ashame..they're in the AFC.

    • AMD RX 9070 GRE AI, Blender benchmarks vs 9070 XT, 7800XT, Nvidia RTX 5070, 4070

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      AMD RX 9070 GRE AI, Blender benchmarks vs 9070 XT, 7800XT, Nvidia RTX 5070, 4070 by Sayan Sen Earlier this week, we shared the first part of our review of AMD's new RX 9070 GRE. It was about the gaming performance of the GPU, and we gave it an 8 out of 10. As a follow-up, similar to how we did with the 9070 XT and non-XT, we are doing a dedicated productivity review for the RX 9070 GRE as well, where we compare it against the 9070 XT, 9070, 7800 XT, as well as Nvidia's 5070 and 4070. This will include AI, rendering, compute, and more benchmarks. AI performance, especially, is a very important metric in today's world, and AMD also promised big improvements thanks to its underlying architectural improvements. We will be pitching it against the data we already have for the RX 9070, and RX 9070 XT, but also the Nvidia 5070 FE, MSI GeForce RTX 4070 VENTUS 2X 12G, and Gigabyte Radeon RX 7800 XT GAMING OC 16G as they are in a similar price class, but also because we do not have a comparable 5060 Ti card lying around here that we can compare it against. Before we get underway, this is a collaboration between Sayan Sen and Steven Parker, who lent me his test bed. Also, there was no editorial input from AMD. First up, the specs of the RX 9070, 9070 XT, and 9070 GRE, which were given to us by AMD: Radeon RX 9070 GRE Radeon RX 9070 Radeon RX 9070 XT Boost Clock: Game Clock: up to 2.79GHz up to 2.20GHz up to 2.52GHz up to 2.07GHz up to 2.97GHz up to 2.40GHz Stream Processors 3,072 (48 CU) 3,584 (56 CU) 4,096 (64 CU) Ray Accelerator 48 56 64 AI Accelerator 96 112 128 ROPs 96 128 Texture Mapping Units 192 224 256 Memory 12 GB GDDR6, 18Gbps Clock, 192-bit Bus 432 GB/s 16 GB GDDR6, 20Gbps Clock, 256-bit Bus Effective Memory Bandwidth: 640 GB/s Infinity Cache 48 MB (3rd Gen) 64 MB (3rd Gen) Card Bus PCI-E 5.0 X16 Output 2x HDMI 2.1b 2x DisplayPort 2.1a Power consumption 220W 304W Recommended PSU 650W 750W Slot width 2x 3x Price (SEP) $549 $599 As you can see from the specs above, it is less than the standard RX 9070 in every way that counts, except for slightly higher Boost and Game clock speed. Design Moving on, the RX 9070 GRE we were given is an XFX Swift triple-fan, dual-slot design with two 8-pin connectors. At 30cm (self-measured), it will fit in most systems easily. There is no RGB either. The AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE by XFX from all angles. Test system Our test system consists of the following: Lian Li O11 Dynamic Mini V2 Flow (Amazon|Newegg) ASUS Z890 ProArt Creator WiFi (Amazon|Newegg) Intel Core Ultra 7 270K Plus (Amazon|Newegg) Thermal Grizzly KryoSheet - 44x37 (Amazon|Newegg) 2x 16GB G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB (7200 MT/s in XMP) (Amazon|Newegg) Sabrent Rocket4 Plus 2TB SSD (Amazon) Windows 11 25H2 (Build 26200.8246) AMD shared a press driver based on the recently released Adrenaline 26.5.2 that we were required to use. We now move on to our benchmarks. First up, we have Geekbench AI running on ONNX. For some reason, the 9070 GRE does exceptionally well here in both half-precision (FP16) and single-precision (FP32). It manages to beat the RTX 5070 and RX 9070 non-XT, and is only behind the 9070 XT. Since Geekbench runs in short bursts instead of continuously hammering the graphics card, it seems the GRE's faster boost clocks are helping here. Next up, we move to the UL Procyon AI test suite, starting with the image generation benchmark. We chose the Stable Diffusion XL FP16 test since it is the most intense workload available on Procyon. The Nvidia cards do very well here, as even the 4070 out-muscles AMD's best fairy easily. The positive thing about the GRE is that it gets quite close to the 9070 non-XT in this test; this indicates that the VRAM does not play a very big role here, as SD XL relies on float16 (FP16). So this is something to keep in mind again. If you wish to work with float32 AI workloads, graphics cards with larger than 12 GB buffers would likely emerge as victors. Regardless, the gains are still massive on AMD's 9000 series compared to the 7000 series. Following image generation, we move to the text generation benchmark. This is one test where the 9070 GRE struggled, quite a lot. It seems that the 12 GB VRAM and lower memory bandwidth of the new Radeon 9070 GRE are hurting it quite a bit; the split is massive, especially in a test like Llama2, which packs 13 billion parameters. As such, in all the tests, the 9070 GRE is the slowest of the lot. Next, we tried Blender, and here the AMD GPUs were beaten by Nvidia. Rendering is something the Green team has always had a lead over the Red side, and it has not changed so far. On the positive side, though, the 9070 GRE shows significantly better results than the 7800 XT, which means AMD is on the right path. Catching up to Nvidia, though, will require a lot more effort. And we hope HIP and ROCm can keep improving. Wrapping up AI testing, we measured OpenCL throughput in the Geekbench compute benchmark. The RX 9070 GRE alongside the 9070 did not fare well here at all, even falling behind the 7800 XT. Interestingly, even the RTX 5070 could not beat the 4070 on OpenCL, so perhaps this suggests that OpenCL optimization may not have been a priority for either AMD or Nvidia in the modern era. Conclusion We reached the end of our productivity performance review of the 9070 GRE, and we have to say it's a mixed bag. Unlike the 9070 and 9070 XT, the GRE excels in some areas while losing ground fairly easily in others. Similar to how it happened in gaming, any time the card's memory subsystem gets hammered, it tends to fall behind the others. This was the case with text generation, wherein we saw the VRAM sometimes hit its maximum available 12 GB of usage with larger model sizes. So what do we make of the RX 9070 as a productivity hardware? It can certainly be used, but you have to know it has its limitations. For those looking for a GPU that can deal with more, AMD recently unveiled the Radeon AI PRO R9700, which is essentially a 32 GB refresh of the 9070 XT with some additional workstation-based optimizations. On a similar note, the new Ryzen AI Halo platform is something you can consider if you want to set up a local AI processing station. Considering everything, we rate AMD's Radeon RX 9070 GRE a 7.5 out of 10 for its productivity performance. Price is less of a factor for those looking at productivity cases compared to those considering the GPU for gaming, and as such, we felt it did quite decently on many occasions and can be handy if you need a 12 GB GPU and, for some reason, don't want to get Nvidia.
