2. I agree.
His stats are almost identical to his brother's through the same amount of years, and he's still getting better.

That was a great game. I wish they were all that entertaining (are you listening Patriots?!?!?!).

3. Your team will be ok
at about the halfway mark, Brady will get his legs under him and then look out. I think we have a Giants-Patriots Super Bowl.

4. How did you like that grab by the ASU Sun Devil to move the drive?
#80 Derek Hagan made a key catch early in the drive if you remember. Ha, Eli Manning was great in that game but I always cheer for Devils in their NFL career. Also don't forget JR Redmond, he made a lot of catches in Tom Brady's game winning drive in his first Super Bowl. :D

6. Statistically Hagan was the best receiver in Arizona St history
However Shaun McDonald has had a more productive pro career so far but nothing great. Hagan is still young so I hope he is around for quite some time.

11. I didn't see much pressure from Dallas on that last drive
Not taking anything away from Manning, but it's a lot easier when there's time to throw.

20. Dude! I actually have a real job, that also requires my attention.
I don't sit around waiting for the fans from a very regional eastern new england NFL team to post comments on a message board!!

:D

10. I know you may not think so, but that was a great game last night.
That's about as entertaining as it gets. Back and forth, lots of crucial plays, a game winning drive. Games like that are why I love the game.

12. I agree. It was an incredible game. I have never seen a running game
quite like what the Cowboys had last night, except in College ball.

13. Eli Not Great
I would like to point out that I am neither a Cowboys nor a Giants fan. However, for all the people posting that Eli Manning is a great QB they need to think of somethings. The Cowboys, mainly Tony Romo, played poorly but still only lost the game by a field goal. Add to that the fact that the Cowboys had four turnovers three coming from Tony Romo as interceptions. The fact that the Giants were only able to win by three points shows that neither side did really well in that game. If the Giants had played against a better team or quarterback they most likely would have lost. Finally, the Giants did not exactly win that game. Instead the Cowboys, mainly Tony Romo, tried and succeeded at throwing the game away.

15. give me a break
Eli had a QB rating of over 110. He averaged almost 9 yards per attempt. He played an amazing game. The Giants defense was awful. Eli Manning was great and on a night they couldn't run the ball. He is the reason the Giants won the game. People like you will never give him credit no matter what he does.

16. I'm going to start Eli Manning for this Sunday's game
Just so I don't have a conflict of interest when the Cardinals play the Colts. I have both Peyton and Eli on my fantasy team, but going to start Eli this Sunday.

17. I think his fantasy numbers won't be great
because the I think the Giants are going to run all over Tampa. It should be a beat down.

19. Well through the air is where the Bucs D is suffering so far
Anyways even if Eli was playing the 1991 Eagles defense I'd still start him because of the conflict of interest thing.
