We were talking about Manning who played mistake free football not the Giants. Obviously, you are right on that.
Eli's INT is 100% not his fault but that's how the stats lie. Again, I've said it before, I don't use stats. I watch the game. Your stats don't show how Brady was a completely 1-sided QB who had NOTHING but screens and check down passes except the last drive. I will be honest with that.
Eli converted 3rd down passes, big pass to a rookie TE, amazing clutch throw to Tyree with the game on the line, and even did some scrambling.
I cannot imagine anyone thinking Eli didn't play better.
Please note that I didn't even bring up that our receiving corps is not as talented as NE and still Eli did better.

even if Eli is a crazy fluke. WE WON THE SUPER BOWL and im psyched! IMO flukes dont win the Super Bowl, they win wild card games or make the playoffs in crazy ways. I cant think of a fluke that has ever won a super bowl. A few have gone, but not won. There recieving corps is much better than ours. If anyone told me that David Tyree would even be in the game for one offensive snap i would have laughed in there face lol. ALOT of people didnt even know who he is, or that he was in the pro bowl a few years ago.....
