Not only Eli, but also in their DL, S, WRs. I agree that he's a big part. QB play can make or break a team sometimes.

Re: Official Super Bowl Thread

I still do not think of the Giants as a dominate Super Bowl team when you think of their record etc... Although it just shows that record and stat doesn't mean everything. The will and heart to win is HUGE.

Re: Official Super Bowl Thread

The problem with the we beat the Super Bowl champion logic is that this has happened even way back in 2001. That's exactly why the whole season is a better predictor than one or even two games.

It means nothing and honestly it's loser talk.

It's kinda embarrassing to see some Skins players on Twitter bragging they swept the Giants this year.

The difference between drafting #6 and #32 says it all.

Pretty much their whole team is better not just Eli.. folks are crazy if they think Manning would make us a true sb team with our offense

I personally think the Giants have underperformed the past 5 years. They've had too much talent to have the records they've had. (much like the Cowboys) I thought they would be shit this year because of all their injuries and lack of FA movement in the OL/WR, but Cruz broke through big time on the WR front. I think they got healthy and hot at the right time.

Our defense is better. Our run game is significantly better. Pass protection and special teams are close. And I'll take our TEs.

It's really Eli and the WRs.

Our LB's are better, too.

I think their defense overall is slightly better, and mainly because of their front 4. When they got healthy and had Osi/Tuck in there, they started wrecking kids. It definitely showed at the end of the season. Their safeties are better as well, but I think our LBs are better and it's probably a push when it comes to the CBs.

Just barely? Seriously? Nicks, Cruz, and Manningham are in an elite class compared to Moss, Gaffney, and whatever scrub we rolled out as our 3rd wideout this season (not counting Hankerson since he really only saw plenty of time in one game this season before he got hurt. Hankerson is the only one out of those three with a long term future here too.

We beat the Giants twice this year, by a combined score of 51 to 24!!!
I had to remind him who's drafting #6 and who'll be collecting super bowl trophies/rings. Told him to set his goals a bit higher.
