It still seems like a bad dream. :crosseye:
In the entire Tom Brady era I have never seen such poor blocking for him. I've seen them lose games because they just didn't make plays when they needed them and barely come up short. I've seen them even get blown out like the 31-0 loss to Buffalo on opening day back in 2003. Turnovers, not converting 3rd downs, settling for FGs, etc have always happened and contributed to the few losses they have suffered while Brady was the QB. I have never seen them get shoved around like that though. Hell, it's the same guys that they held to only one sack just over a month ago.
Eli played much better in the regular season game. He made some great throws last night and some great decisions when he needed to but he got away with so many back foot throws and poor decisions. He made a number of throws that should have been incomplete (or even picked off) and still the guy came down with the ball. Brady stood in there with his feet planted and stepped into the throw and took the shot from the defender while Eli is heaving up what look like punts. :laugh:
Tyree makes the catch of his life. Run that play 100 times and at least 95 times I bet Eli gets sacked or Tyree can't hold onto that pass. That 60-65 yard bomb that Brady threw on 3rd & 20 that just missed being caught by Moss probably clicks more often than that Eli to Tyree fluke play.
Hearing "Eli Manning Super Bowl MVP" just makes me puke in my mouth a little. :clown: I don't dislike Eli. I don't like how he came into the league and I don't like him as much as Peyton. I just don't think he's that great. Maybe he just suddenly "gets it" and it clicked for him at the right time. We'll see how he does from now on or if it was just the Giants time and they were on a roll.
