I would love to see TO and Eli on the same team. I have never seen two guys more adept at the "It's not MY fault!" body language. Eli is slightly better at the insincere press conference. "We, I mean I, should take care of the ball better."

Eli started his career by whining he didn't wanted to go to San Diego, he's a spoiled brat, he's nothing like his brother.

You guys will never accept the fact that Eli is a good QB too. grin

He's a great QB! I just don't like the man…

Eli is a good quarterback, if he sucked it up and started admitting that sometimes it is his mistake, I'd appreciate his gameplay more. There's just something cloying about listening to someone getting paid millions to play a game passing the buck all the time, when his job is passing the ball. There are several other QB's that fall under this category.

He's got talent. So does TO. That doesn't mean I have to like them.

Eli's play, specifically the fumble was inconsequential to the outcome. The Giant defence gave up 48 points and they were lucky to get away with that. In fact, it was a pretty miserable showing by the team as a whole. They came in thinking they were the poop, and they were shamed with a disaster. Now perhaps Eli's use of the word "we" was a breach of someone's sense of post-game, butt-kicked, publicly humiliated interview etiquette, but considering the defence's performance, I'd say he was being downright magnanimous. At least he was including his own play in the disaster.

TO not only would have blamed the loss on everyone from his teammates (would name names), to the hotdog vendors, he would have made a great point out of how he had no fault in the failure whatsoever (nevermind the trhee passes he dropped), and had they thrown to him when he told them to, they absolutely would have won the game.

Yup. If I squint real hard, I think I can see the similarity.

Say, if you want to punish them send them to the Lions…

I'm just saying.

Quarterbacks are supposed to be leaders, and good leaders accept responsibility for the good and the bad and move forward.

TO is a pile of bull scat.

What would be a worse punishment, Lions or Raiders?
