Last week there was a lot of talk on armchair about Eli Manning and whether he was a quarterback who could produce in the clutch. Well i think he pretty much answered all those questions in yesterday come from behind victory in Philly. He saved the entire season for the G-Men by pretty much putting the team on his back and carrying them to victory. In the fourth quarter and overtime, Eli threw for 233 yards and two touchdowns. Two plays that stick out in particular was the play where a defender was on his knee and he still managed to throw the ball to Tim Carter downfield for a twenty yard game which led to the last second fg, and of course the last play of the game, where knowing he was going to get blitzed by the eagles he stayed in the pocket showing his poise and threw a perfect pass to Plaxico Burress. Just like last year, Eli is showing if you give him a chance he'll produce. This was one of those rare games that can change the course of a season for a team so it will be interesting to see how the gmen respond next week in Seattle.
