In a season of downers, I'm genuinely excited to see Eli out there slinging it around. Lower-level excited, mind you.
I think we have a chance at a long-term QB in Jones. Just need to build the team now, and have a semblance of a plan over the next few years.
But in a lost season such as this, I haven't looked forward to a Giants games this much in many weeks.
Hoping for a win, as always. I'm a realist, though. Just hang in there, and see what happens. I get it that a win (or a couple wins) hurts our draft standing, but I hope Eli plays well - even in a loss.
Anyone else actually a bit fired up for the return of #10?
Philly is playing for a playoff spot and is going to see the blood in the water.
At best it proves to Eli his time is up and he retires at the end of the year vs. him out looking for a job that will never come
Eli plays poorly and the GIants lost and it further tarnishes the Eli legacy
Eli plays well and the Giants win - the Giants hurt their draft positioning and Shurmur gets a step closer to keepking his job.
The fact that it seems to mean a lot to my eight year old son also makes me excited.
Giants lose 34-21
Shurmur uses all 3 timeouts in 3rd quarter

Eli plays well and we lose due to our outstanding Defense, then lose another 3 viola, Shuless and Belcher gone... Whats wrong with that?
2) We go down 14-0 in the first ten minutes, then spend the rest of the game trying to maintain the two-TD difference.
I couldnt care less about getting Eli more playing time. I can understand others wanting to see him play but this is not a good scenario for his last hurrah. The players really have no ties to Eli when he was good either. i want to see the guys that are are going to be here next year show improvement and thats it.
F the eagles
I saw him warming up with Shep before the game in Chicago and he was slinging it! Thought that was going to be the last passes I saw him throw.
Look for Barkley to have a good game tonight, with the veteran #10 calling out the pressure, instead of the rookie DJ8 or Halapio.
I'll be bowling tonight, if I'm near a TV I'll keep an eye on it and will probably put it on when I get home. Guess it depends on how ugly it is
Exactly how I feel.
So, you're not fond of reminiscing? That's how I take that quote. Reminiscing provides connection with people. Connection in my opinion is one of the main positives about conversation.
Man, you have hit rock bottom... ;)
Besides, tonight just feels like a sad ending to what's been a partially destroyed career. Tonight has no connection whatsoever to the two Super Bowl titles...now it's just watching Eli do his best not to get his ass kicked - it just reminds me of everything that's gone wrong.
If ever a ban needed to be lifted on poster, today is the day for dep... ;)
All that said, Im excited to see what a rested Eli can do over the next 2 weeks.

Terps, I understand not getting too caught up in what the past is, good or bad, but I find that quote to be looking down of remembering fond times. If we choose to not remember good times in our lives, bitterness gets a chance to enter our lives and change our perspective to, "when am I going to get a break, or when am I going to have good things happen to me?".
I do appreciate you separating that philosophy with "everyone is different". Because you are right, being different can help us learn new things we possibly had not considered. Thanks for the reply.
I want Eli to light it up tonight.
I wish there was a website to stream it .
Watching the ens of an Era it saddens me Eli was
the perfect Player in the Me Me Me Era of football .
Oh well figures its got to be Filthy in prime time .
The fact that it seems to mean a lot to my eight year old son also makes me excited.
Me too .Gonna be tough though sitting ten weeks hope
he comes out healthy is all .

I'm as big an Eli fan as anyone else, but watching him dump it off to avoid getting pounded on every play has gotten old. If I were a beat writer I'd show up to the post game presser wearing this:

Watching 39 year old Eli come in off the bench with a bad team around him seems like an awful way to reminisce. We have the two super bowl DVDs for that.
Not like the philly of past

You're really reaching here. Watching Manning play tonight and reminiscing about the past really have nothing to do with one another and certainly wasn't the point of my post(s).
Oh, where do I sign up?!
The Giants couldn't have come along at a better time for this Eagle team, reeling from painful losses - the cure to EVERY shitty offense is the New York Giant defense.
Watch Wentz light it up for 300+, 4 TD's while Eli is handled like a squirrel in a mad dogs jaws.
I'll watch until it falls apart. I give it 10 minutes.
That was entertaining for 3 quarters. I turned it off with the Giants up by 14. My wife said "Why are you turning it off? They're winning!" I told her "This game is a rerun - they're going to lose - sleep is more important."
I was right. Woke up refreshed.
