The one thing tho, that i realize, is that Eli Manning is not an elite quarterback. He will really have to show somthing in the playoffs this year to earn the ciry of New Yorks respect. (which no one can really do lol).

The Giants dominance back in the mid 80's wasnt on having an Elite QB. It was on defense, clock management (I think some stat showed that the Giants under Parcells had some insane ball possession average time of like 38 minutes a game between 1986-1990).
So basically The Giants back then did it by keeping the ball away from better offenses.
Was Phil Simms a great QB? No. was he horrible? Obviously not.
Lol.
They're nowhere near that today. They're alot more balanced and have so much potential. They're just terribly inconsistent. A NYG team can blow you out 48-10 one week vs an upper tier team, then lose 48-10 vs the worst team in The NFL.
Fortunately for the Giants, they have an incredible road record (perfect) this year. And that's why they are where they are.
Which leaves me scratching my head. Is Giants Stadium THAT hard to play in? I know all about the swirling winds stuff. But is it that hard?
The question to me is what is Eli going to be? A Phil Simms? A Kerry Collins who can be spectacular enough in one or two season to get to the big game?
Or is Eli, just gonna be.....
Eli?
