Eli Reacts to his Non-Reaction...

Zepp : 2/9/2016 10:25 am
TMZ caught up and got Eli explaining the blank stare. I think you have to be a Giants fan to understand his reaction. He has the look of a guy having a PTSD type flashback having lost so many games in the last few minutes this year.
Link - ( New Window )
Look at Eli...

No jewelz, just regular. What a guy.
I guess, we all remember,  
Doomster : 2/9/2016 10:33 am : link
the reaction from Peyton, when Eli threw the pass to Burress.....I guess we all expected the same reaction from Eli for his brother......or maybe he was thinking he was no longer one up on him....
The dude has had the same f*cking face for 12 years.  
Mike in Long Beach : 2/9/2016 10:34 am : link
First he was too scared to handle the NFL
Then his face meant he had ice water in his veins after winning 2 rings.

Then he was sad his brother won the Super Bowl
...but some people say it's because he's a football player and knows it ain't over till it's over.

None of this is true! It's just the man's face!
Classy, regular

guy.
Nothing lamer than bugging these people in public  
Go Terps : 2/9/2016 10:55 am : link
Unless you're a little kid it's a dick move.
What kind of loser do you need to be  
Chris684 : 2/9/2016 11:01 am : link
to stalk the guy over something that anyone with a brain knows is a complete non-issue?

Eli is a better man than me for even entertaining conversation with that idiot.
Haha, it was all he could do not to ignore this guy

Non-reaction ....in the clip that I saw -  
short lease : 2/9/2016 11:17 am : link
it looked like he let out a breath of relief and then grabbed his Mom's hand. But, that is "Easy E" .... same has he always been.

It is just because non Giant fans don't know who he is (as a person). Much-ado about nothing.
Zepp that was my thought exactly

Had too many games go the other way in the final seconds.

Only thing worse than TMZ is the people who continue to watch it.
Peyton ALWAYS gets better things  
skifaster : 2/9/2016 11:27 am : link
I figure Eli was bummed out thinking if it was the Giants D that they wouldn't be able to keep the lead.
If you look real close  
teso56 : 2/9/2016 11:27 am : link
You can partially see Archie's face and a similar non reaction - he is looking at scoreboard - probably checking clock and time. Acting like a qb

Which makes no sense. Peyton's big reaction came when the Giants led a frantic two-minute drive that included one of the best plays of all time to go ahead against an unbeaten team.

The cameras panned to Eli in the fourth quarter of a game the Broncos had never trailed in, at a point where Denver's offense was doing nothing, and with a bit over three minutes in a game that, while in hand, still could have ended badly if the Panthers' subsequent drive had gone better for them.

Eli's face was funny for a quick joke, but the fact that people are taking it seriously is pretty sad.
This really has to be one of the dumbest overhyped  
montanagiant : 2/9/2016 11:42 am : link
BS issue that the media ran with, that I have ever seen. Just absurd that this was even brought up, would love to find out what asshole started this nonissue
Bigger question  
BlueHurricane : 2/9/2016 11:42 am : link
Is that Abby Manning next to Eli? Whoever it is she is beautiful.

Of course she is. That's an Ole Miss girl. ;-)

^^^ + 1
I don't see any issue.  
Del Shofner : 2/9/2016 11:53 am : link
Eli of all people knows it's not over 'til it's over. He's just keeping his game face on until then.
This is one thing I never understood about the media with Eli  
Matt M. : 2/9/2016 12:00 pm : link
Coming out of college, his nickname was Easy E because of his consistent demeanor and ability to stay calm and not show much emotion. That was considered a positive trait when he was scouted. All of a sudden his stoic face was supposed to cause for concern from some morons. Then, the same face was supposed to again be a strength just because he won. It makes no sense. that is who he is as a player and one of the reasons he was highly touted.
Probably not in CBS's mindset to pan Eli when they panned the booth  
Bill L : 2/9/2016 12:04 pm : link
but I wish they would have panned the booth right after the clock went to zero (or as the refs were running the clock down) to compare to the single shot they did.
Eli said somewhere  
JimNY56 : 2/9/2016 12:25 pm : link
at that moment he was thinking about they [Denver] should go for two.

His father was mostly likely thinking the same thing.

It is a shame that a QB can't think as a QB at that moment without getting criticized or made a joke of.
Clicked on the story

Losing SB QB  
old man : 2/9/2016 12:31 pm : link
unapologetic about immaturity and acting like a vinegar solution, issue ended; winning SB QBs brother stone faced, which he is noted for, gets the 20 questions TMZ treatment that they wont LET end.
Bizarro World.
Peyton kissing Papa John  
joeinpa : 2/9/2016 1:07 pm : link
Eli's expression
Cam's press conference
Cam's dance

Sports talk and issues have become somewhat childish.
Anyone who has watched Eli  
Don in DC : 2/9/2016 6:05 pm : link
for any length of time can tell that he was lost in thought and analyzing the situation. As other said, he was thinking like a QB of a professional football team, not a dumbshit fan.
Somebody handed Eli SB cap after TD pass to Plax in SB 42  
GloryDayz : 2/9/2016 6:13 pm : link
Or something like that, he wouldn't take it.

Same story here, he wouldnt celebrate till the game is over.
ELi has been that close to a win and seen them slip away  
steve in ky : 2/9/2016 7:17 pm : link
far too many times so I just think he was genuinely in the moment and too nervous for his brother to even think about celebrating with that much time still on the clock.
teso is correct  
idinkido : 2/10/2016 6:41 am : link
Archie had same reaction and Eli was quicker on the uptake. Cooper also had the same thought as when lifting his son, he looked up at the scoreboard.
It's so ridiculous...  
GiantJake : 2/10/2016 11:26 am : link
When I saw Eli's demeanor in the moment, I knew exactly what was going on. Eli isn't a fan boy. He's not going to be jumping up and down celebrating. He's an NFL QB who has been in the same position multiple times. Eli's lack of emotion is because he was mentally locked in to the game. He's playing the game in his head and at that moment he is calculating variables and what comes next. Archie was doing the same thing. Stupid people just love to come up with stupid theories.
