Hard to not like Michael Strahan. Between the scak record, being a good natured dude, annd guest starring on Chuck when it was at its best, dude gets love.

It's hard to like Michael Strahan, you're right.

I'm glad i didn't bet on the game because first off, the line NE -8.5 is outrageous considering how the defense has played. But, holy shiat that P.I. call with less than 2 minutes left was insanity. The ball, even if the receiver didn't run into a safety, was darn uncatchable.

as an Eagles fan, with the way Strahan gave Jon Runyan fits over the years, I should hate Strahan, but I don't.

Not that the Pats were playing good enough to win that game, but the PI call in the endzone basically handed the game to the Giants.

I don't hate Strahan for being good, I hate him for his fake record and his annoying personality. He's not funny, he's not interesting. He's just loud.

That was awesome..lol...

Bradshaw and Long have picked against the Giants almost every week for years.
 
2011-11-07 10:18:16 AM
Well that was amazing. Though sadly I had to be driving during the 2nd half and only was able to listen on the radio. Given how the two halves went, horrible planning on my part.
 
2011-11-07 10:21:54 AM
He was celebrating because he was right and Jimmy Johnson was wrong more than the Giants winning.
 
2011-11-07 10:23:04 AM
Jimmy Johnson on the otherhand could not get up for that exciting ending.
 
2011-11-07 10:26:05 AM
I hate the Giants (well, not the team so much as their obnoxious fans) but I had to admit, that was one hell of a 2nd half.

That was a hell of a game. Eli was superb in the 2nd half.

Clash City Farker: Eli Manning is like Kryptonite to Brady.

If my team's down 4 points with 1:30 on the clock, there aren't many active NFL quarterbacks I'd rather have under center than Eli. Maybe Brees, maybe Rodgers. Other than those two, I'd want Eli freakin' Manning. Dude's goofy as hell, but you can't deny what he does in Winnin' Time.

I'd take Rodgers first every time. Which makes me cry because I'm a Bears fan, and I know I have many years of this guy owning the division to look forward to.

Oh I can deny it. I didn't see last night, but I remember the playoff run the Giants had a few years ago.

In so many of those games Eli would throw up a duck that would be dropped by a defender or just sail out of bounds or the receiver would make a great play on.

Many times Eli is luckier than good in these situations.

Honestly, as a Giants fan, I trust Eli more in a situation like yesterday's game than I do in a normal one (though I do still trust him there). He's done it so many times, including in the biggest possible game.

The problem is that the Giants have - and have had for years - a tendency to play to the level of their opponent. See the Seattle loss or the close win against Miami.

FreakinB: He's done it so many times, including in the biggest possible game.

Didn't Manning throw a pass right into the hands of a defender who dropped the ball on the final drive of the Super Bowl?

While Manning made a great play to escape the sack, wasn't the ball to Tyre just a blind floater into the middle of the field that could have just as easily been picked as completed?

This is what I'm talking about. Manning has some moments,, but he's also been blessed with some moments of extreme luck that has made his moments more than what they were.
 
2011-11-07 11:44:21 AM
I laughed that he's in the tank for his former team as he was the only one of the 5 celebrity analysts that chose NY over NE. Whichever channel that was, I don't know. They are all the same.

Also, anyone that says the "New York Football Giants" needs to have their face caved in with a baseball bat.
 
2011-11-07 11:44:30 AM
Not nearly as entertaining as MLB's "are you f*cking kidding me?"
 
2011-11-07 11:49:10 AM
That was a terrible game. Brady sucked, Pats defense sucked, and they still almost won. Giants should be ashamed of themselves for allowing a team that throws 4 picks and a number of fumbles to still even be in that game in the second half, let alone the 4th quarter.

Ok, you picked two moments. I'll give you Samuel's dropped pick. And I'd argue that while the Tyree play involved a *lot*, Eli really did all that he could given the rush. But watch the rest of that drive (here, I'll help (new window)). The Plax TD throw was perfect, the mostly-forgotten throw to Steve Smith to get 12 on 3rd and 11 was perfect, etc. etc.

But that's just the one that everyone saw. 17 career 4th quarter comebacks isn't an accident (new window).

Pats fans and Eli haters please stop being butthurt, yeah I'm talking to you Mugzy.

Call Eli lucky all you want, he has now had something like 19 4th quarter comebacks.You can't chalk that up to luck when a guy comes through in the same situation time after time. If you do then your just being biased because he's not your guy. Dude is ballin this year and outplayed Brady yesterday.

But they're two moments that could have / should have ended the game.

I remember similar moments in the other playoff games for the Giants that year. I can't pick them out of my memory because I wasn't watching as intently as in the Super Bowl, but I recall similar 'lucky' plays that later turned out to win the game for NY.

I'm not saying he sucks. He's a good QB, but to make him out like this amazing clutch player bugs me, because he should have been a goat in the Superbowl (dropped INT) but now is a hero. You can't forget the choke because it wasn't caught.
 
2011-11-07 12:11:21 PM
By the 4th Quarter comeback stat isn't as impressive as it sounds.

He's now 8th active behind all-time great cluck players Jack Delhomme, Jon Kitna, Donovan McNabb, and Kerry Collins.

That's not the point I was making. The point was that I have reason to believe in him in those spots because he's done it before, and when it's been done that many times it can't be just luck. It's not me making it into some sort of all-time great argument.

Two moments? Look. You can say that the helmet catch wasn't as amazing a throw as it was lucky (although it was put in about as good a place as you can ask for.) You can't say that it was a BAD throw. They needed to move down the field quick. It's not like they weren't in a hurry. In that situation, throwing deep and crossing your fingers is the right move.

Delhomme was a very solid (if not great) and clutch qb for a long time. Then he had one all-time worst playoff performance, and was never the same. He really was pretty good for a long time. Really.

Same with McNabb, even if he's one of my least favorite athletes ever. Just saying "4th and 26" to my Packers fan friend pisses him off.

I'm surprised Kitna's up there, but okay. Collins had a lot of success and played forever.

You listed a bunch of good QBs who aren't Peyton, Brady, Rogers, or Brees. Such people do exist.

It did happen, just the DB choked more than the QB.

FreakinB: But you also can't foget the 4 other good plays he made on that drive just because he got lucky on one.

You're right, but you can also consider the other good plays wouldn't have happened if the DB catches the interception in his breadbasket.


Everybody agrees Romo choked this year vs the Jets. If Revis fumbles on his interception return and the Cowboys recover and win, Romo still choked.

Eli's game has to be one of the most scrutinized things in all of sports.
 
2011-11-07 12:49:50 PM
Guess what, everyone - I don't care if anybody considers Eli "elite" and I certainly don't need a 10 minute conversation between Antonio Pierce and Merrill Hoge on SportsCenter on that matter. The fact is, he's the Giants QB, and any Giants fan has complete faith in him in situations like yesterday.

End of story.

Exactly.

And there's a reason I've stopped watching sports TV aside from live games almost entirely.
 
2011-11-07 12:59:42 PM
That's cool, but cooler is not needing a 4th quarter comeback because you're not in the game anymore, having curbstomped Brady from bell to bell.

/seriously, though, that was awesome
//both the comeback and Strahan flipping out

Shouldn;t you be posting about how much better Michael Vick's than Eli or somethin'? Or are you projecting how you'd want to upgrade from Vick to Manning if given the chance?

Can't really say that because the Steelers losing meant a Ravens win.

When they play each other, the rest of the world roots for "stadium collapse".

I think you mean the pass interference gave the game to the Giants, since the call was quite correct.

Anyway, the Pats wouldn't have been in that game at all if it wasn't for Eli's idiotic interception or Ross's crazy return fumble. They were playing like shiat (or being made to play like shiat, depending on your POV)
