Out of the Blue

Clean-up crews are still digging up the confetti here in the BlueTower following our celebration of Super Bowl Sunday. The tendency to view the past as prologue can often be deceptive, but the parallels to the Giants' 2007/2008 playoff run continued through the final game to a startling degree, down to the key 30+ yard circus catch and the winning score coming with less than one minute left. Just crazy. Congrats to the Pats who continue to live up to their incredible standard of excellence, and of course, congrats to the G-men for another startling run of winning football right when it mattered the most.

The reason Eli will continue to get static is his lack of consistency. When he's on he's good, no one can deny that. It's just that he can only seem to do it half the time. Hence, the reason I still say the Giants are more lucky than good. I'd say Bradshaw has been the Giants real hero this season. The guy has made some phenomenal plays! Anyway, they definitely won it yesterday. Gratz.

Not this year's Manning. He had the second best rating in the league behind Rogers and set some kind of record for fourth-quarter touchdowns. He did this despite the fact that the team's running backs were basically MIA the first three quarters of the season. The guy was flawless this year and he was the reason they squeaked into the playoffs with a 9-7 record. And this is a Jets fan talking, btw.

Second-best rating in the fourth quarter.

Overall, he was seventh, behind Rodgers, Brees, Brady, Romo, Stafford, and Schaub.

And that's with an excellent offensive line, a capable running game, and a very good receiving corps.

I get the feeling Eli is a lot like Donovan McNabb (he does well due to the system around him), but, unlike McNabb, he can perform when he has to.

That's why he's got two rings.
