eli manning

It was a catch a guy of his caliber should make 99/100 times. I bet ck, the local Pats fan, would agree.

bill magill u are pretty corny

i did not see the 2nd half of the game, i can not say. too busy getting some chocolate chip cookies, which, at the time, was much higher on the priorities list than watching football.

in hindsight i should've watched the fucking game.

OUCH

SNAP

DAMN

dude you have no fucking idea.

make sure to hit mute:

that is not a routine play

That's a catchable ball. Seriously. Maybe not easy, but that's a play that should be made.

"bill magill u are pretty corny"

thanks

it looks like he jumped high and it skipped off his fingertips, it didn't look that catchable.

it bounced off his fingertips while he was at the highest point of his perfectly-timed leap, body fully extended. that would've been an amazing catch for any WR, let alone a CB.

really, you'd be better off harping on belichick for not taking the field goal on 4th and 14, or for not calling a proper 2-minute offense on the final drive (when, needing only a field goal and having a timeout or two left, brady just heaved it to moss a few times; game over.)

having just seen the clip, yeah, that was definitely catchable. he didn't catch it because he took a poor angle.

but that's why he's a db instead of a wr.

dear bill magill,

shut the fuck up!!! god what the hell is wrong with you. half of us are "from these parts" and got a different rememberance than you, this is possibly because only retards and degenerates actually think the post's every-changing back page reflects opinions "around these parts"?

also the idea that you actually think the giants would've ever wasted money on favre actually seriously makes me think that you've been hit on the head a lot of times. a LOT of times. like joe montana levels of times. there are only two goddamned teams in the league would've done something THAT stupid as picking up someone like drunky mccajun and those two teams are minnesota and the jets. since everyone in minnesota would've burned down the metrodome had hated wisconsinite brett favre come to play there forever and ever, the jets had to man up and take control of the idiocy.

EVERYONE KNOWS THIS SHIT, IT'S LIKE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.

sincerely,
your neighborhood schef

i mean could you even imagine.

since everyone in minnesota would've burned down the metrodome had hated wisconsinite brett favre come to play there forever and ever

no way, they would have been blowing each other in the streets if they got him.

don't gis "vikings blowing each other in the streets"

I'm guessing a GIS for "XXXX blowing etc etc." will always yield savory results.

srsly who the fuck is this guy

he used to play for the packers for years and years, with the jets now. i'm surprised you haven't heard of him.

heh. nice one, cumdad.

cumdad? listen, keep whatever patriarchal issues you have to yourself and off ilnfl ok?

bill magill has been consistently on of the most suspect poster on ilx

look out for his valuable opinions on metal vs. pop music

Shefter,

After the Minnesota game, even Jerry Reese called Eli out. I'm not going with what the Post said, I don't even read it. But a lot of people were looking to run Eli out of town on a rail after that game.

I'm actually happy for the guy. Notwithstanding what I said above about the Samuel play, the Giants four-game playoff run was phenomenal. Had they lost to the Pats, it still would have been amazing.

And Jordan- how "suspect" am I? I don't claim to be an expert on any of this stuff, including the "metal v. pop" issue. I'm just posting about topics I like. My opinion is no more important than anybody else's.

v suspect.

Fuck yourself.

haw!!
Bill don't sweat it man we got Dolphins fans up in this piece.

And now that jhoshea's back we can FIGHT THE REAL ENEMY eh guys

what is this and all this running with the people and with the rails?

I am tempted to play the "MANNING ELI" part of "Roman's Revenge" on repeat at a friend coming over to watch the Superbowl tonight

since everyone in minnesota would've burned down the metrodome had hated wisconsinite brett favre come to play there forever and ever

no way, they would have been blowing each other in the streets if they got him.

"If Eli orders steak and they bring him flounder, he'll just eat it," Archie told SI. "What would Peyton do? You ought not bring Peyton the flounder."

<3 eli but peyty would never break character like that

not sure eli has character to break tho

i just mean when he starts cracking up, jimmy fallon-style

i didnt watch, was he good

me either

did he tebow

me neither i am judging him based on that ping pong ball unitard gif

of course he tebowed

y he was good, yall should watch it

times like this i especially miss ally

the fact that they wrote a sketch where all he had 2 do was deliver one or a few word answers in a v monotone way = playing to his strenghts

they should really have peyton on once a year

think he genuinely acted better than lindsay lohan did on her most recent snl

peyton should replace alec baldwin on 30 rock. also yes, snl once a year.

You know in a few years when Peyton and Eli are done playing football, there are going to be a lot of people that look back at these two brothers that played football with some wistful eyes.

Two brothers, both engaging (yet different) personalities and yet so damn successful in anything, let alone sports.

It just doesn't happen and I think it is going to take awhile for people to really register how unique a thing it really was.

Enjoy it now. In a weird way, I kind of had a similar feel towards the last Bulls run with Jordan and I remember it kind of well against the Jazz in that last series. He retired again and came back, but I kind of remember from that last series, you know, this is really great but it's almost done. The Manning brothers might go on for a few more years, but I don't think it is quite acknowledged how unique it really is, even though they are such big popular and really great athletes.

one definite HOFer, + one who is increasingly perhaps likely?

peyton just needs to pad those stats a little more

And yes 100% HOF first ballot duh

lol

whoa whoa whoa

two rings as a QB def gets you there, but I'd like to see him sweat it for a year or two

i would guess eli is the worst qb to have 2 rings? he'll certainly be a test case whether or not that is automatic entry. barnwell gave him 40% chance to get in in a recent article.

either him or roethlisberger

Eli has had a better career than Plunkett, who also won two Superbowls.

eli's last couple seasons have been good, and the two seasons before his hilarious 2013 were almost as good. i think his cameron frye persona masks some of his skills and intangibles tbh.

Eli is in the Hall of Fame. The dude is Payton Manning's brother, won 2 Superbowls in New York and beat the Patriots in a couple of the most ridiculous ways possible.

NFL Hall is way more about the Fame than greatness, that's why they put in like a QB and WR and maybe put in a whole O-line every 20 years.

I've said it before, greatness in the NFL is a whole lot of luck. Tom Brady gets drafted by the Chiefs, he might have been great, but he wouldn't be Tom Brady you know now.

...that's why they put in a QB and WR nearly every year....
