I am hard pressed to name a better game than this for Eli. Whether you look at statistics, the way he led, his avoidance of mistakes I just cannot remember a better game for him. I was not even including of his running touchdown.
and the Eagles game were both games where he got the living hell knocked out of him, and he kept coming. Those are the kinds of games that stand out to me. Eli is one tough fucking dude.
would be how I should have phrased it. The games everyone else mentions are close games. I just cannot remember Eli outplaying his opponents this decisively.
I remember telling a co worker the next morning how excited I was after that game. I was going to "look back on this game as where it all started". He looked at me like I was crazy : )
I have followed the Giants since 1957, and while Eli has had more meaningful games, I would say this was his most dominant game in terms of performance. I felt he was in complete command. This game was similar in many ways to the games YA Tittle played in the 1960's. The Giants have never gotten the respect from the press that other teams have gotten. I felt at eases the whole game, no anxiety about the outcome.

Actually, no. I'm giving Eli the utmost respect by posting a pic of The Scarecrow.
Of course, you haven't given it much thought, have you?
Then, after the game, a packed bus full of Niners fans was in awe of Eli that night.
But I vote dallas '11 JPP block.
To me one of the best QB performances I have ever seen
On the road!
