Over the past two years I have made it quite clear that I thought Eli Manning was the most overrated player in the NFL. I would make comments like “if there was any other name on the back of his jersey he would be coaching a mid-level high school team on the gulf coast.” 

Last night Eli proved to me how wrong I was.  I was impressed.  The NY defense was amazing, and I am confident I wasn’t the only New England supporter who was rooting for the Giants before the first quarter ended.

On a sidenote- one of the best things about that victory was all the trash that Tiki Barber (who retired after last season) talked about his ex-teammates and former coach.  Who’s smiling now Tiki?
