The second game was an OT win against the Eagles ( I think last year too). By he led the G-men back from I think it was a 17 point defeicate in the 2nd half. Ending with a 50 yard bomb to Plax on an all out Birds blitz. That's what fustrates me the most is that the kid has the tools. I used to think it was either the line or the recievers and or the play calling. Now for the first time I am starting to think that it is him. He also plays with no emotion, and that kills me. He just looks like a kid that has lost his way. Today he had this hopeless look on his face every time he made a mistake, like he knew that he himself was flushing the season away. He has good recievers and TE's (but he never looked for Shockey) but latley he only throws towards Plax who is far from 100%. Ever since the debacle against the Vikings he has been just flat out bad. Maybe they will give the kid the week off next week aganst the Pats and let him clear his head. The last thing they need going into the playoffs is for him to throw 4 more picks with 2 going back for td's. Plus the crowd at the Swamp is starting to sound like the on that has been going to the garden to watch the Knicks.

I was impressed with Eli's poise in that game against the Bears about a month ago. He was inept for 3 and a half quarters. But in the final 5 minutes of that game HE lead them to victory. It's gotta be enough for you Giants fans to rip your hair out when he can look so bad and then good, but no consistency.
If they do bench Eli, I'd think Lorenzon would get the look. He's parked the bench since Eli's been there. He know's the system, so give him a chance.
