Eli and not Peyton? OMG
Whod'a thunk it!? That the worser (yes i know it's not a word) brother is going further in the playoffs than the superstar brother? What's this world coming to?! I'm a Giants fan and I just have to say I never thought they'd get this far. But, I think their road to the Super Bowl ends in Lambeau Field. Favre is just too good for Manning (Eli that is).
I remember an SNL skit with Peyton hosting the show. Where Peyton was a Sportscaster talking about Office Pools. And one of the topics was, "Peyton Manning is good but crumbles when it comes to tough games and playoffs". I'm glad he was a good sport about the topic, but I have to ask the old adage, "Does art imitate life or vice versa?" hehe
I don't think its a fore-gone conclusion that they will lose next week. No one expected them to give New England a test. Few expected them to beat Tamp Bay and even less expected them to beat Dallas.
I am not sold on the fact that Eli is the answer we have been looking for, but even the biggest Eli hater has to admit, in the last 3 weeks, he has made tremendous progress.
I think we have the talent to beat Green Bay, I just hope this past week did not take too much out of our defense (from injuries and shear exhaustion)
