Super Bowl XLII Memories: A Look Back At The BBV Archives, Part 3

PrintThe very first post I ever wrote for Big Blue View was in regards to Eli Manning, and it seems we have never stopped debating the New York Giants quarterback. We probably never will, in some form.
Prior to the 2008 Super Bowl against the New England Patriots Manning was, of course, part of the debate. As we continue our look back at the BBV archives from the buildup to the 2008 Super Bowl let's look at an Eli discussion that took place.
This one was based off an article from Peter King of SI.com. This is part of what I wrote then. See what you think of it now.
The Giants' play-calling with offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride has been better in recent weeks than I can remember. The Giants seem to have finally established what kind of team they want to be, using the run, play action and the shorter, quicker passes extensively. I think that simplifies the game for Manning a bit.
Plus, maybe we have all been hasty to write him off. He will probably never put up the numbers of his brother Peyton, but he doesn't have to.
In these playoffs alone, he has shot down Jeff Garcia, Tony Romo and Brett Favre. Whether he adds Brady to that list or not, I think we know now that the quarterback position appears to be in good hands for the foreseeable future.

I like the photo is credited to Marcio Sanchez. Apparently, Mark Sanchez is looking for a new job already.
nywins42 needs a new screen name - "nywins46" sounds great!
Just ordered FatHeads for all available Giants. Now I have something to aim at when punching holes in my wall.
I just know in my heart...

I honestly don't understand the media comparing the..
Accomplishments of two brothers that root and cheer each other, love each other, and would do anything for each other..I think that would be the more appropriate story..Brotherly love and support..There will be two Mannings in the HOF someday and their busts will be placed right next to each other..So again media…You suck…

How rare is it for brothers to be star qbs in the league at the same time?

It has never happened before..to my knowledge..
But the media is trying to make a ‘family fued’ out it..that’ll never happen..One of the greatest memories I have of SB42 was that shot of Peyton going crazy with pride for Eli..
"When I was a boy and I had no sense..I got my pecker caught in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair, tickled my balls and made me shit in my overalls..."
Not exactly star-status, Matt an Tim Hasselbeck!
Though they played the same high profile position, it truly is too easy for the media to try and pit Eli and Peyton against each other. So i agree too, the media generates these comparison etc. stories only for their bottom line.
After it’s all said and done, i’m sure the media will have their final and only “make you feel good” story about them both collectively.
Yeah Matt and Tim...but not both on the same stage..
There hasn’t been two SB winning brother QBs ever…
"When I was a boy and I had no sense..I got my pecker caught in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair, tickled my balls and made me shit in my overalls..."
How great will it be

The truth. The REAL voice of reason
Peyton will be cheering for it...
"When I was a boy and I had no sense..I got my pecker caught in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair, tickled my balls and made me shit in my overalls..."
i agree
peyton is great at some things. & eli is great at some things. i could care less who’s better. I care more about the fact that there are 2 great qbs from the same family. & the fact that they lean on each other to learn & be better at their craft is more endearing than debating which will have a greater legacy.

I didn't break it Dad, Peyton did !!
Well the real debate is Peyton vs Brady. And it is only the shortage of Payton’s rings that makes it hard to argue for the guy who led his team to the playoffs ten years in a row. So having Eli outnumber him in rings does become a human interest story. And having lil’ bro beat his arch-nemesis and deprive Brady of two rings is a great story.

Well the real debate is Peyton vs Brady
So why put the brothers in the same debate? IMO, they are brothers, but individuals. Where is Rodgers, Brees etc…? That would be to logical for the media to concoct!
Yeah..If that is the competitive tact they want to take then fine..but Eli vs Peyton?..

woah, easy there wilddre,
Cooper had some sort of bacteria in his spinal fluid that was life threatening and caused leg nerve damage. As a wr In his junior year of hs WITHOUT Peyton as his Qb (Peyton was still in Ms), he posted 2 consecutive 1000 yd seasons.
He may very well have made the nfl as a wr if itweren’t fora serious health problem.

spinal stenosis...
A narrowing of the spinal canal. Doctors say it was a miracle he wasn’t psralyzed Bc of all of the hits he’d taken on his upper body. And he did have Peyton as his Qb in hs. He had over 1200 Uss as a senior. Sorry, my previous post rewrote history a bit.

yeah but that's what the honey do list is for
to build up during a particular sporting season, and then be knocked down in subsequent off season. but after the bowl, we’ll either have a few weeks of relishing our sweet victory to get off our chests, or to let the anger boil down. once that’s extinguished, BBV gets a little dead anyway. not everyone is the mock draft beatnik like BBI or Rory, specially me. i couldn’t tell you what a JPP or Amukamara was until we drafted them.

I have College players I like but like you I don’t get into that stuff..I just read what folks out here that are really into it have to say..The discussions get a little too awnry for my tastes…I’m with you..JPP and Prince came totally out of left-field on me..I did like Chad Jones, whom we picked, but had that tragic accident..I hope he’ll fully recover (everything I read indicates he is)..but beyond that..the draft to me is a mystery..For example, we all booed when this kid from Moorehead State was picked..His name was Phil Simms..haha..look what happened there..I’m no expert when it comes to choices..never have been..I have one kid I like who is a sophmore at FSU..Jeff Luc..Middle LB…But hell, it’ll be years before I see him in the draft..I also think that whoever picks Luck is going to wish they didn’t..but beyond that I really don’t get absorbed in this draft jazz…

did anyone see LT on “Inside the NFL” this week. He was hysterical.
Simms asked “‘Can I have my leg back’ from Joe in Washington.”
LT replies. “Hey, I did him a favor.”
Collinsworth"What? You did him a favor? What’s that supposed to mean?"
LT: “Yo. He was on his way out!”

The short passing game
“The Giants’ play-calling with offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride has been better in recent weeks”
So we have been saying that for 4 years now. Its not weeks guys, its years now.
“The Giants…have finally established what kind of team they want to be…(with)shorter, quicker passes”
Kevin and Eli are now ‘bombs away’ now.
But these guys have actually been following a 4 year plan to get there.
We fans sometimes don’t appreciate how these guys have been to implement long term plans.

this line made me smile
Clearly, Manning enters the Super Bowl with the best three-wideout combo he’s had in his career.
and also it always seems i forget shockey was on that team earlier in the season. its pretty weird
Giants Mets, JPP is a MONSTER
Watching Eli
When I watch Eli throw one of those long bombs (like the hail mary pass), I am always amazed. He looks like he is just flinging it as hard as he can, and hoping that it goes to the right place. But somehow, it always seems like he is almost perfectly on target.
He knows exactly where it is going...
And that was not a hail Mary..It was a practiced play and a brilliant call to make..When he throws even under duress, he has the ability to put the ball where it needs to be..what a difference from last year..He stopping pressing himself and his whole game has improved 100%….
"When I was a boy and I had no sense..I got my pecker caught in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair, tickled my balls and made me shit in my overalls..."
Agree with you
With Cam Newton you can see that the arm motion is perfect for the long balls he throws. You know from his release it will be perfectly on target.
With Eli it doesn’t look as much like he has control at the precise moment that he lets go of the ball. It is only when it gets to the receiver in a window almost impossible to hit that you realize the precision, not when it leaving his hand, not when it is in the air. That could perhaps be the reason that fans of other teams think that some of it is ‘luck’ what he does.

Hmmmm
Mangini says when he watches Manning it looks like Tom Brady
Eli is our King!
I guess I can see that
I think Eli throws more long balls nowadays than Brady does. It is on the bombs that are released so quickly, often milliseconds before the pass rusher arrives, that look like they are just being heaved up there, and then make it into this tiny window. As someone said, that wasn’t a Hail Mary, that was a pretty precise and planned pass. Looked a lot like a Hail Mary when he tossed it though.

Eli has become unflappable
Even Tom Brady gets rattled if you hit him enough but incredibly, as he proved in the SF game, it really doesn’t matter how many times you sack him or knock him down if he gets time on the next play he’s going to step into the throw and make a completion. It’s really remarkable.
Brady is a wimp compared to Eli...Eli is by far the toughest QB in the NFL..
They whack Brady a few times he’ll fold up..Eli will just get up..
"When I was a boy and I had no sense..I got my pecker caught in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair, tickled my balls and made me shit in my overalls..."
Roethlisberger is a tough SOB too
Eli is our King!
I know Phillip Rivers..he is also tough..and yes..
He played with a torn ACL…just willed himself through the pain..I know alot of people like to make fun of the guy, but he’s a tough..good QB..He gave me a signed football after a NC State game one night..thinking it was for my kids..haha..But he’s a good guy..Haven’t talked to him in years..but he remembers me I’m sure…
"When I was a boy and I had no sense..I got my pecker caught in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair, tickled my balls and made me shit in my overalls..."
It was kind of funny..when he learned I was a fighter pilot..I was like his hero..haha
We just became friends..I went to every game I could to watch him play..but it became tough after awhile..They had me going all over the place..I’m glad that’s over with..He gave me that ball because I asked him for it..and I told him where we were parked..We were tailgating after the game and he showed up with it..He doesn’t drink beer though..So that was a bummer, but hey that is okay..hahaha
"When I was a boy and I had no sense..I got my pecker caught in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair, tickled my balls and made me shit in my overalls..."
No he just prefers not to drink..which is cool...and probably smart...

He doesn’t swear so he is always yelling “GOLLY!” or “Oh GOSH!!”

Nope I never heard him swear at all, ever...
Did you know he was married with a kid when he was a Senior??..He had to grow up and be responsible quick..If I was to compare him to somebody it would be Kurt Werner..Clean cut Christian guy, but a maniac on the field..Kurt had a ‘Zero tolerance’ approach on the field when it came to mistakes..He’d let them have it..Phil is the same way…
"When I was a boy and I had no sense..I got my pecker caught in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair, tickled my balls and made me shit in my overalls..."
The other guy I know is Ted Hendricks..that guy is is pure nuts..
I played in a Larry Little golf tournament with him..He still calls me all of the the time..“Hey Bob !!..when you want to meet and play a round???”…I’m like Ted do you know what time it is?.."I don’t give a shit…when can we get together for some Golf?“…I’m like geezus…The wife wakes up..”That was Ted right?"..yep..

Is it true that Hendricks is also very very smart?
Eli is our King!
It all depends on what you consider smart...
But he’s a hell of a nice guy..funniest guy I ever met..just plain crazy..and he doesn’t care what time he calls..He gets bagged up and just starts making phone calls to people…
"When I was a boy and I had no sense..I got my pecker caught in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair, tickled my balls and made me shit in my overalls..."
Rapistburger doesn't compare to Eli..
He holds the ball too long..and gets his butt handed to him…Eli just slithers around in the pocket and gets rid of it..but this year, always where he wants it to go…I’m still amazed at that throw to AB last week…perfect…I’m not at all pleased with our O-line..They better do better..to protect him..but he is just an amazing player..On that throw he was getting pressured but still threw it where he wanted before getting whacked..then he just gets up and does it again..incredible..
"When I was a boy and I had no sense..I got my pecker caught in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair, tickled my balls and made me shit in my overalls..."
I like Eli much better than Ben or Phillip
But the amount of punishment Ben takes and just dusts himself off and does it again. Thats tough
Eli is our King!
Fortunately Eli doesn't miss games
Big Ben is tough as nails but he gets hurts and has missed more than a few games. Meanwhile Eli continues his league leading consecutive streak.
Eli hasn't always been smart about knowing when to just give up on a play
But he has always been smart about not taking a hit and exposing himself on a scramble unnecessarily. I think Eli takes fewer hits than any other QB. True enough he is tough, and when he does take a hit he bounces back up. But as for taking physical abuse, he has almost always favored getting the ball out of his hands rather than taking a big hit.
To the point where sometimes you almost wish he would go ahead and run for that first down. But naaaah, rather live to play another play

Eli story
I remembered the following commentary just before the 1st game w/ the Eagles. (I think it was game 3)
Ed Questioning Jason B from BGN:
Ed: Give me an honest opinion/impression of Eli Manning. Does he scare you at all? Do you guys think he is a quarterback you can take advantage of? Do you think of him as ‘elite?’ I know that’s really three questions in one, but I think you know what I’m getting at.
JasonB: Well I think I mentioned this to you before, but to me Eli Manning gets defined by the one completely boneheaded play he’ll make in a game.
He really has every tool to be an elite QB, but those decisions he’ll make in a certain situation are the ONLY thing that makes people think otherwise.
And rightly so I’d say.
Why he would try to throw a ball straight up in the air with his left hand rather than just take a sack is beyond me…
And unfortunately, that one decision he’ll make ends up overshadowing what he does the rest of the game.
JasonB: So I know he’s a very capable QB and if we give him an opportunity he’s almost definitely going to burn us with it…
But I also am always waiting for that one crazy decision he’ll make that will end up going our way.
And not be to long winded, but the fascinating thing to me about him is the difference in how he handles pressure as opposed to pressure situations.
JasonB: If you pressure him, you can force him into one of those crazy mistakes… but he doesn’t get rattled by pressure situations. He’s no more likely to make a mistake in the 4th quarter of a close game than he is the 2nd quarter… It really doesn’t make sense to me.
Ed commented the following later: “Eli
The guy has all the tools. The description was very good. It’s that occasional mystifying junior high decision that makes you shake your head.”
Less important was my observation: So I say "Don’t do that Eli, play a good game, leave out the boneheaded stuff even if the pressure gets tough".
The result was a remarkable win in Philly.
Did Eli read that thread? Because since that point in time he has been very, very “un-boneheaded”.
Ah, there have been moments though, but Eli either escaped his inevitable fate or the football gods (Tebow’s friends?) have been watching over him…….mostly.
Now, comes one more game. Eli…don’t do bone headed things.
Cruz, Nicks, BARDEN!!!, don’t get the dropsies. Blockers….block!
I believe that the O is more suspect than the D. (that automatically makes the D more suspect in my convoluted mind). We got a real good chance of winning the motherf***g Superbowl (thank you Mr. Weatherford) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6dM-_Bb58c&feature=related

Nice call. I remember that thread
And I liked Jason B’s description about Eli not feeling pressure in pressure situations. He made some sense there.

Okay I'm going to give you my score for the Patriots...17
"When I was a boy and I had no sense..I got my pecker caught in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair, tickled my balls and made me shit in my overalls..."
one thing I realized today that was kind of refreshing
was that Eli said that most of the 49ers sacks were coverage sacks. New England struggles in coverage and that bodes well for us in the long run

personally, i don’t want any of my players thinking they’re second to anyone.
Yes, I am a Giants fan. Now that we got that out of the way....

No he didn't
That’s the NFL.com turning nothing into something.
Webster said that he think he’s the best every time he goes out on the field. He says that his teammates feel the same way about themselves. His point was that you have to believe you’re the best, have to always have that supreme confidence because you will make mistakes and you will need to recover mentally.

That is very true...Doesn't matter what you do in life..
If you don’t believe in yourself, your doomed..As a parent I owe it to my kids to be a good role model and I use the dumb things I did growing up as reference material..As a pilot, when I got in that F-16..I always felt I was the best..You screw up in one of those you get dead real quick..So it doesn’t matter what you do, you always strive to be the best and you don’t let people think your not the best…
Eli took alot of shit over saying he was an elite QB…What’s he supposed to say???…and he’s right and he has proven it..as far as CWeb?..well same thing, Revis will be watching him play in the Super Bowl next week from home..So what does that tell you?..
"When I was a boy and I had no sense..I got my pecker caught in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair, tickled my balls and made me shit in my overalls..."
Webster is good
but Revis is legit top of his position. I know the article is misleading, but that stands repeating… Revis can straight up ball.
Very true he's really good..but it takes more than one guy to win..
That’s what I adore about Coughlin..He’s all about “Team”..always…
"When I was a boy and I had no sense..I got my pecker caught in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair, tickled my balls and made me shit in my overalls..."
He is great
But now I understand the frustration from Phin and Pats fans when they talk about Revis grabbing their guys early
The truth. The REAL voice of reason
more 2007 comparisons
The weekend of the super bowl that year was the first weekend we had our new puppy. Guess what showed up on my back porch today? Two puppies, obviously from the same litter… completely lost and looking for attention. Regular BBV’ers will note that yes I am the same guy who posted a pic a couple weeks ago of his new abandoned kitten, Cruz, laying with the aformentioned puppy who is now all grown up.
Off topic note: if you are reading this and happen to be considering taking your pet just outside your town and throwing it out of your car… instead of doing so please find something very very tall and jump the #### off. I’ll figure out something for your two perfectly friendly puppies because I’m a responsible human being, you frigging waste of skin.
I'm with you 100% on the building jumpers...it's disgusting that some people treat pets like trash.
On the 2007 coincidence front…The Giants haven’t won a playoff game while I was on the east coast. I moved to NY after SB42 and came back to the Bay Area right before the 1st Cowboys game. Apparently, the Giants only win “playoff” games while I’m in California.
nywins42 needs a new screen name - "nywins46" sounds great!
Just ordered FatHeads for all available Giants. Now I have something to aim at when punching holes in my wall.
Something like this?
I got a GIF for that!
Giants by 17 over GB, take it to the bank!
Giants by 10 over SF, take it to the bank! Well, OK, by 3, but we are Super Bowl bound!!!!!!!

Reminds me of a Steven Seigal movie..I forget which one but he picks up a dog..
That some jerk threw out of a car…At the end he spots the guy and kicks him in the nuts..and while the guy is laying on the ground, the dog walks over to him and pisses on his face…hahaha.
"When I was a boy and I had no sense..I got my pecker caught in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair, tickled my balls and made me shit in my overalls..."
I remember that one too...
Seigal was awesome way back when. Isn’t he a cop in Florida now? I know he has been a cop now for several years, but, maybe it’s Cali

I think it requires closer examination..I'll volunteer...Screw fishing that day...

Speaking of fishing..I just got back awhile ago..
Didn’t catch a damn thing but man being out in the ocean at night is the thing I love most..pure peacefulness..Of course, I have to take the business from my wife all worried and shit..haha

She would get it good.
I’ve been “training” for a moment like that since about 13.

I became a big fan after his first full year
when he led the team to the East title. He had to overcome a lot including three attention whore offensive teammates,.Tiki, Shock, and Plax. Now he has his guys from the start. and not surprisingly two superstars have emerged.
Just caught up on these
Love this idea, Ed. It’s a blast from the past (and a reminder of a time when I had a LOT more free time – kids out there: getting married and a real job is a major time suck). Also, does anyone here remember that tool TruePatsFan. He was the absolute WORST. He posted on almost every thread back then and gave absolutely zero chance for the game to even be close for a quarter. He was like Terry on Steroids laced with Crack. Then, after the game, he never posted on any SBN blog again.
Also, from the first one of these Ed posted, ahem:
This team is young, and still developing. Depending on how Aaron Rodgers develops, I could see the Pack and Giants (2 of the younger teams in the league) becoming the class of the NFC and developing a nice rivalry over the next few years, kinda like what the Cowboys and Niners had in the early 90’s, or the Packers and Niners in the mid 90’s, or what the Colts and Pats have had over the last few years.
The Giants haven’t always held up their end of the bargain, but still, 2 NFC Championship games in 5 years ain’t bad. I’m the master predictor of football future. And I’m going to pretend my post-draft analysis of the Pierre-Paul pick never happened. Ouch…
Time to update this: 2009 Did Not Happen. Neither did 2010. Or 2011. Sports suck.
