    He did. Two of the most fun nights I have ever had but You can’t have it both ways. Eli Manning has been a really good qb on some amazing teams and he has been a pretty shitty qb on some horrendous teams. He has both benefited and been hurt by the team around him. 
    He's been better than given credit. Like I've said earlier he could be 150-82 if he had good defenses and special teams
    Whhhhhooooo cares? He won two super bowl mvps. He’s going to the hall of fame. You (and me) enjoyed his career. What else is there?
    If he had that record. We would not be arguing whether his career is over or if he sucked.
    Who is arguing that he sucked? What record?

    If he had a 150-82 record instead of a 116-116. He got blamed for the losses. The wins, it's always he was benefited from other players. I'm talking about the overall football fan universe. If he had the same numbers but had that record. Things obviously would be different. I'm not he hasn't had bad games. But we usually lost those games. He can have great games and it's 50-50 if the Giants win.

    I really wish that Eli could have played his final years as a QB with a decent team.  He has has had his ups & down but he was playing very well last year & this year.  He never a diva,  never blamed anyone else, & he has been healthy for his whole  career.

    I think the kid did good,  I know the 'mobile  QB' is popular now,  but I bet this generation of QB's will have shorter careers.  If you're being your own wide receiver, you have a much higher injury risk.  QB's get knocked down enough.  

    I don't particularly like the QB running for downs & TD's on a regular basis. Every now & then,  it's great,  but not every game. It's not his job. 

    I didn't enjoy this win like I normally do.  I didn't enjoy the game as much.  I still don't like the decision.  It's my opinion that there was a classier way to introduce Jones.  Interesting to see how he'll do against a division rival,  or Brady. Eli was giving him advice throughout the game & all week.  He is more forgiving than me. But he's a team player,  too bad that team doesn't think he was due a classier transition.

    An overall pretty good qb who magically turned into the most clutch qb in post season history....twice. Just be happy with that and don't try and make him out to be something he wasn't. The win loss record is pretty appropriate. 

    I'm really going to miss him.

    W-L record is not indicative of how well he played. If Tampa makes the field goal. Does that take away from the game Jones had?

    Hard to tell if the defense is doing great or if the Skins suck. But they're doing what they need to do against a weak offense. They wouldn't do this the first 2 weeks

    Nice start.  Got to beat the bad teams. The next two weeks will be telling.

    These last wins were expected. Can't make the same mistakes we made today against a good team. Defense did what it was supposed to against a bad offense.
