With the ball on their own 29 yard line. Gentlemen to me that was the greatest drive of Eli Manning's career. For those that haven't figured it out I'm talking about the drive before the half of the Dallas playoff game. That drive was just brilliant ..brilliant play calling from the sideline and brilliant execution on the field. I love this game ,one of my all time favorites but to me that drive was as good as it gets. Yes even better that the Superbowl drives IMO
The drive you mention...was greatly impacted by the cocky and undisciplined Dallas defense
Unessissary roughness penalty, defensive holding, and letting Kevin Boss and Steve Smith run wild and free...Eli looked awesome too
Wade Phillips said that drive is what killed that Game for Dallas
I think his exact words were "We had them beat and tired"
I don't worry about Eli..Give him reasonable protection and you're gonna get what you became a fan for..
Steve Smith was just some great clutch play for the Giants during those 2007 playoffs. Big, big catches in every game.
Jerry Jones already had given out playoff tickets to his players for the Green Bay game the following week. What an asshole.
The Giants & Eli rammed it right up the Cowboy players asses and Jones at the same time. Even their fans had sore backsides for months after that game.

Yep. Just watched it. Great drive.
AMEN

My all-time favorite game anding quote.
To me, that was Eli's defining moment, the time when he showed the world that he was a clutch player.
