Brian Billick: Eli Manning threw for 510 yards … 243 of them were in the fourh quarter. He threw them right out of the game in the first half, and then right back into in the second. There may not be a better NFL QB in the clutch.

NYG: 15

Pete Prisco: That defense is really struggling on the back end. And Eli Manning is making mistakes he didn’t make a year ago. That has to be a concern.

Being a football fan and more specifically a GIANT GIANT FAN, I read everything I get my hands (eyes) on. And just seem to love when a “writer” gets the info wrong. I wonder if anyone checks the stories PROPR to printing. On that note MY GIANTS won by 7 not by 10.

I’m a really big football fan and more specifically, a GIANT GIANT FAN. I know all u writers are always under pressure to get your story out as quickly as possible, but does anyone check and double check the facts and stats? Keep up the “good” work. Oh BTW: My GIANTS won by 7 not 10.

Who said that they won by 10? And I love these rankings, hope they keep us out of the top five all year… just fuels our fire at the end!
