I will give him props for fighting though, he got out of a few sacks where he should have been eating dirt. Even though I thought he should have thrown the ball away instead of scramble, I'm not going to complain about that point too much.

I won't bother wasting time reading other responses to your initial post, but this has to be one of the more ignorant threads that I've seen since joining this forum. Eli led not one, but TWO 80-plus yard, 4th quarter drives against a team for the ages, and perhaps the best defensive game planner ever in Belichick. Are you saying that the great throw to Boss was luck? Tyree made a sick play on the ball that Eli threw to save the winning drive, but Eli made one of the greater escapes in Super Bowl history to make that play possible. If Brady makes those two plays to save the Pats, then we're all saying that he's greater than Montana, so let's give Eli a little credit here.
