The Giants may just be the best team in the NFC today, but I still don't trust Eli Manning yet down the stretch. Next season will be a different story though. Of course with Tiki Barber possessed like he is, it allows Eli to not be pressured so much.

 

As far as Plummer, everyone knows the Jake will be exposed as soon as the Broncos play a team that can stop the run. It usually happens around playoff time. Plummer is comfortable moving around in the pocket and picking up short yardage 3rd downs, however like a Drew Bledsoe, when it is up to him to win the game, he pretty much fails every time.

 

The Eagles, they are 4-3, and not dead yet. I think they have been in worse or equally as bad situations over the past season or so, and rebounded once they got healthy. They still have the personnel, or at least most of it, that got them to the Superbowl last season.

 

My Skins, well, I just dunno, they need to stop fumbling the damn ball. I don't care how weak the defense looked today, the D kept the game close as long as it could, but four turnovers is too much for any team to overcome.

How can you not trust him after back to back game tieing drives, back to back weeks against the Cowboys and Denver? Sure he wasn't that accurate today, but from what I noticed, the Skins basically playing deep in coverage and were trying to stop him, and not Tiki. And it killed them.

I didn't say he was incapable of making big plays, however if you asked me TODAY, if I would trust the ball in Eli's hands with the game on the line in a big game against a top Defense, I would say no, that doesn't mean he CAN'T DO IT, I mean hell lesser players then himself do it every week in the NFL, but I'd say the odds would be against Eli as of right now. In his third year and beyond, that will be a different story.

I have to agree with Maguire - I've never seen a player drop a ball like that. It's like he forgot that he was the ball carrier, because I figured he'd at least fall to the ground with the ball.
