This is why I love Redskins fans. Every year they come out so optimistic, and every year they crash harder and harder. The Skins will be lucky to win 5 games. The Giants D Line is going to have Campbell on his back more than a 2 dollar hooker.

He is better than Manning. Manning is awful. He just plays on a good team. Put JC on Giants and he would be putting up Fantasy Football numbers. Put Manning on the skins they probably would have been 4-12 the last four years.

It is definitely too much for Eli, and I do not like this contract. In a nutshell, Eli is not nearly as good as A LOT of Giants want to believe, but he is not nearly as bad as most non-giant fans seem to think. The Defense was the main reason they won, most of all because of the pass rush. Not sure any other team in the NFC could have beaten the Pats as they wouldn't have been able to get the kind of pressure on Brady like the Giants. Maybe Dallas, but that is about it. As far as offense, that game was a classic team effort. Jacobs and the OLine converted the 4th and 1 on the last drive. Steve Smith caught a pass on 3rd and 11 and got to the sticks and out of bounds. Tyree with his head catch (and the first TD), Burress the game winning TD with one knee. However, there wasn't one single player who jumped out as having a performance that was head and shoulders above anyone else. I thought the MVP should have been given to the entire D-Line, but you know they would never do such a thing, or the corners who shut down Randy Moss for most of the night. Wes Welker had a big game, but he is not going to hurt a team like Moss as was proven. Fans who really know the game of football could make an argument for about 6 or 7 different Giants for MVP. Tuck (2 sacks), Strahan (1 sack and on Brady all night), Steve Smith (5 catches, including the big 3rd and 11 conversion), Tyree (the head catch, 1st TD), Eli, Plaxico Burress (only 2 receptions, but the game winning TD and anyone with real football knowledge knows how he caused DC's to change their game plan), Toomer had 6 or 7 catches and just under 100 yards receiving. Like I said, no one really has anything that just jumps out at you and make you say, "WOW, that is the MVP." Could even make a case for Wes Welker and his 45 catches for 100+ yards.

I'd rather see he can win without Burress and handle the Meadowlands winds in November and December before giving that kind of cash. Hixon definitely has the speed to be the deep threat this season, but after his awful drop in the regular season loss to the Eagles last year, he didn't really get another shot. Seemed like the Giants were afraid to try and stretch the field. Without Burress and Toomer, you have to think the young guys (Smith, Hixon, Manningham, Moss, Nicks, Barden) are going to come in wanting the #1 or #2 receiver role which hopefully drives these guys to bust their asses. My guess is the season starts with Hixon as the #1, Steve Smith as the #2, Nicks as the #3 and Barden as your goal line jump ball guy. Barden is the guy out of Cal-Poly they took in the 3rd round who is about 13 feet tall.

Yeah, I remember that play. I picked up Hixon after Burress went away and really thought he was going to step up. That play would have gone for 90 plus yards and a TD, right? The pass was on the money and Hixon was 10 yards past the nearest DB. He had some good games earlier in the season as well. If I recall correctly, Plax was out of a game due to injury and Hixon stepped in and got over 100 yards receiving. The Giants also scored over 30 in that game... I think.

You know who didn't give their middle tier quarterback $97.5 million today?

The Redskins.

Eli will have a chance to shut me up in about 5 weeks, but right now, I'm having fun at the lack of foresight of your team.

I'm going to sell my soul to the devil and quote...(wait I just threw up in my mouth)...Mike Florio...from the miraculous Super Bowl catch, the guy who threw the ball gets 97 mil, meanwhile the guy who caught it, is in danger of being cut.

You tell me Gtripp. Have I lost my mind or have the GNats lost theirs? 97.5 million to Eli? The Ravens win the SB because of defense and they release their QB. The Gnats win because of defense and a couple of very FORTUNATE plays and you give Opie 97.5 million dollars? They better hope he improves....a LOT.

After reading the mind-numbingly stupid posts from "coggs," I was contemplating a good response. Then I read this. PWNED. Well done.

Eli and his mid-70's QB rating and putrid receiving corps can go rot. He better hope his defense is world class, because they're gonna need it with that lame group of pass catchers.

I'd like to smack Eli. Really. I'd like to walk up to him and smack him open handed in his lispy little slack jawed face, and then look him in the eye and ask him what he's going to do about it. Is that wrong? Have I had one too many single malts? SmootSmack may arrest me for PUI. <end rant>

I bet Eli is jumping for joy! 97.5 million will buy a lot of corndogs!

I wonder if they knew 2 years ago what they know now, would they have traded Shockey away? Witout Pax Shockey might have come in handy.

Reese said this about Manning, I hope Snyder is giving a similar press conference next February

Quote:

"He's a franchise quarterback," said Reese of Manning. "He's done everything we ask him to do. He's come in, he catches a lot of flak from you guys and he just keeps going. He does what we ask him to do on the field, he does what we ask him to do off the field. He's a good football player."

I'd love to know how much the Manning family has made off football. You take the contracts, endorsements, comercials, and everthing else they do to make money it a boat load.

Right now they're negotiating to buy Mississippi to help out with the national debt.
