Watching your franchise QB flaunt his skill by having the lowest 4th quarter passer rating in NFL history: Priceless

Some things money can't buy, for everything else, there's the money the Giants wasted on Eli Manning

The Giants were 5-0 when tiki ran the ball 20 or more times a game.
25 rushes today didn't help the meltdown one bit.

His 4th quarter rating isn't as bad as Walters or Grossman this year, is it?

I recall alot of Giants fans touting him as Elway after a comeback against Denver last year.

 

[HighTechDave]

I like it, that they Suck

His 4th quarter rating today was 0.0, and if the rankings went into the negative, his rating would have been -14.2

 

[Cajuncowboy]

I wonder if this is posted at the Giants board?

 

[superpunk]

His 4th quarter rating today was 0.0, and if the rankings went into the negative, his rating would have been -14.2

That doesn't equal NFL History though, does it?

According to Giants fans, yes it does. Apparently, it's the worst rated 4th quarter since they started keeping QB ratings

The play-by-play doesn't do justice to this one, with the Giants still up by a TD, less than 3 minutes left:

4-10-TEN24(2:44) (Shotgun) V.Young scrambles right end pushed ob at TEN 43 for 19 yards (F.Walker).

Mathias Kiwanuka had Vince Young in his grasp, and apprently thinking VY had thrown the ball, he let him go and started walking away. Strangest play I've ever seen (thanks to NBC highlights at half-time). If Kiwanuka completes the play, the Giants would have taken over at about the Ten 15.

But then, with the game tied, under 40 seconds left, Eli pulls a Bledsoe....
