If you want to listen to idiots go ahead.
I’ve been very critical of Dak. Just because I don’t trash him day after day like some of you doesn’t mean I haven’t been critical. Finding a better QB will be very difficult.
Eli deserves a lot of credit, too though. He held that team back in the regular season, but dude showed up in the playoffs.
Dude, no need to make this personal. Stick to the topic or I’ll never waste another post on you.
I wish we had the defenses the Giants have had.
The problem was Romo’s regular season stats/passer ratings never extended to the playoffs. Go look at his playoff numbers. Eli showed up in the playoffs and his turnovers disappeared.
Just because Eli wasn’t known for his mobility and never made Houdini escapes doesn’t take away from the amazing escape he made in the SB to win that game. He did something he wasn’t known for doing, when it mattered the most. All Romo ever did was make great escapes but when it mattered most in the playoffs he never made any that won us a game. His great escapes all came during the regular season and none of them helped lead us to a championship.
It always happens in these Romo threads. Give an opposing opinion about Romo and some can’t help themselves from tossing insults and making it personal. Posters have been repeatedly warned about it but they continue to do it. I’m going to give my opinion on Romo regardless how many get bothered by it.
Don’t disagree but the Giants defense also showed up in the playoffs in a big way too. The regular season they didn’t. Thats the Giants fans argument for Eli. Statistically the Giants defense were no good in the regular season. Just like Eli.
You wouldn’t be saying that had it been Romo. Eli’s career was made in the playoffs and SB. He wasn’t mediocre in postseason which is why he has a couple of rings and a couple of SB MVPs. He’s currently 10th on the all-time passing list and will be in the HOF.
Agree!
Their defense kept the games close, giving Eli and the Giants offense a chance.
I wouldn’t say Eli had a great arm but he was able to maintain his poise in the critical games, which he struggled with during the regular season. That led to a lot of INTs. He was AWFUL for a stretch of games in 2007. He had 4 INTs against Minnesota which led to a blowout loss. He had 20 INTs that season. He was looking like a bust, but miraculously found his game by the playoffs. His great defense kept him from having to carry them. When he had to make critical throws he made them. He only had one INT in the playoffs that season.
I would say that Giants defense was pretty historic. It held 2 great offenses to 20 points or less with Dallas and Green Bay and then kept one of the most dynamic offenses we've seen in NFL history to under 20 points. Their 2011 defense was almost as good.
