*** OFFICIAL Eli Manning Worship Thread ***

[nyjunc]

Yes, in recent memory Eli is better. No one seems to realize that Eli has now won 2 Super Bowls with sub-par teams. Both of the times he's led the Giants to a Championship their defense was ranked 17th and 25th. Brady has never won a Super Bowl with a defense ranked less than 5th.

On top of that Brady has choked in his last 10-12 post season games.

Eli has won w/ D twice and last I checked if the "great" Welker holds onto that pass NE wins. Brady did what he could even after getting hurt.

He's a good QB, the Manningham catch(which actually wasn't a catch) was the play of the game on O(though it was a great pass). The D again won that game holding down Brady(after they hurt him) or the Manning led FGs would have meant nothing.

He's a good QB, no reason to go overboard.

That was so totally a catch. Clearly had both feet in and maintained possession to the ground.

Had both feet in, had possession but when he hit the ground the ball moved and that makes it incomplete. Think back to Chris Chambers vs. us on that 2002 Sunday Night game. Same type of play.

Junc, thats a hell of a spin, even for you. I was in a room with about 20 other people with mixed rooting interests and I literally didnt hear a single person say it wasnt a catch.

It wiggled a bit, but he didnt lose possessions. It still stayed in his hands and never touched the ground.

Actually, it very clearly was.

But on a molecular level, it was moving all over the place, particularly the gaseous interior of the ball.

N.F.L. Rule 8, Section 1, Article 3, Item 1: Going to the ground. If a player goes to the ground in the act of catching a pass (with or without contact by an opponent), he must maintain control of the ball after he touches the ground, whether in the field of play or the end zone. If he loses control of the ball, and the ball touches the ground before he regains control, the pass is incomplete. If he regains control prior to the ball touching the ground, the pass is complete.

Ball never even hits the ground

lol. "it wasn't a catch." lol

[Myles Fynch]

If the refs knew what pass interference was, that catch wouldn't have even mattered--would have been rout for the Giants.

As blatant WR muggings go, think Revis INT for a TD against us this year. Same kind of ridiculous.
