    Eli Manning finally beat the Vikings. He had lost all four of his previous games against them. He still had a rough game and threw two picks. I think he's up to 13 or so picks in 5 games against the Vikings. I don't know what it is but the Vikings have his number.
    I guess Favre was holding him back.

    • Huh?

      Only his most recent loss came with Favre on the Vikings. Eli has lost two Vikings games in which Tarvaris Jackson was the QB (2007, 2008) and another when Brad Johnson was the QB (2005)

      Despite Monday's blow-out win, in the last 5 games against the Vikes, the Giants have been outscored 132-85.

      As for Eli, in 5 career games vs. the Vikings, he's thrown 3 TD's and 11 INT's.

        I agree. Players get to vent their frustrations on the field. Coaches can just stand there and go into seizures. It wasn't the right thing to do, but why drop a house on him?

        • Maybe he will get fired. The Jets suspended him indefinitely when they learned he instructed five players to line up with him.

          Or maybe I should say he'll be thrown under the bus. Was it really just him acting alone?

            • In other news, Michael Vick would like to one day be allowed to be a dog owner. The court currently prohibits it.

              • Sorry, I could never get behind that.

                Suck it up, kid. It's a small part of the price you pay -- and I hope it's a constant reminder of your actions.

                  I don't know, but I find it hard to believe that no one above the S&C coach knew what was going on.

                      • The Giants have lost another receiver... Steve Smith North of 107 catches in 2009 is on IR, another blow to the Giants depleted receiving corps. His recovery is expected to take 6-8 MONTHS! His rookie contract expires this year. On the bright side for the Giants, I guess his injury will give him less bargaining power so the Giants can give him a deal without paying him the potential #1 receiver money he would have commanded in free agency.

                              • The sad part is, the 49'ers could end up at 7 - 9 and still make the play offs...
