Eli made the HOF last night, btw.
I'm not an Eli hater, so relax. Clutch is an ingredient, not a definition as you said.

HOF? Didn't know he got bumped ahead of Big ben. Slow down please, geez.

there's really no question eli was the clutchest nfl qb this season

can't even be disputed, he set an nfl 4th qtr td record

dude was insane this season

if their D would have been more consistent the whole season (they did have alot of injuries in their secondary) they would have been alot better than 9-7

This whole clutch thing is funny. Clutch is sometimes overused imo. You make due with the opportunities you have.

Welker didn't make a great catch on a imperfect throw. Drive stalled 4 minutes left in the game. Your last chance to be clutch with reasonable time on the clock.

Eli drives his team down field in 3 minutes while Manningham makes clutch catch on imperfect throw. TD results in drive.

Brady now has 1 minute to drive many many yards therefore he is not clutch and doesn't get the luxury of having 4 minutes on the clock. However if the clutch catch was made maybe we are not talking about this today?

Actually who gives a $%^&. Some of these people wouldn't know clutch if it bit them in arse.

FACT: Brady has not been clutch in a big game ( A game that has a lot on the line ) in more than 5 years. He may have won some games, but not because his clutch performance. It was either a blow out or a defensive stop, etc...

Eli meanwhile has been clutch all year, and was ultra clutch in 07.

Eli is the best QB right now. I'm not interested in Stats, we didn't care about stats when Peyton was compiling stats and we were winning Super Bowls, I am not about to start caring about Stats right now.

We need a defense which can rise to the occasion and more balance on offense.

if brady makes that type of throw eli did, it's called perfect and delivered in as if by angels

no reason to hate eli , i mean i have reason too lol , but aside from my own reasons, since the draft eli's been a good teammate and a good person

total ho hum guy who hardly ever talks

and when he talks , and says he thinks he's now elite and in tom brady's class, he goes out and proves it by having his best season ever


there's just no hating on that

Brady had less than 1 minute in last 2 SBs..Given 2 minutes, he probably wins as well.. It's more about opportunity..Eli has had the ball last with enough time to drive down the field far more often.

The Giants needed to win just about every game at the mid way point to even make the playoffs... He lead the league in 4th Quarter TDs... CLUTCH.

The difference is Eli needed to be clutch during the season, Brady was always up most of their games. Big difference. Doesn't make Eli more clutch..dummies!

The second to last drive was a nightmare for the Coaching staff and Brady. It was poor play calling, and poor execution. We played to run the clock out with a 2 point lead. How stupid is that... you drain the clock to ensure you have no time when the other team kicks a field goal or scores a TD.

With 9 minutes you play to win the game... you drive for a TD... and the play calling and actions were to run clock and play not to lose...

And they lost, they didn't go for it... They didn't go for the win... and it cost em. Same story in every Giants game we have played.

Brady and BB have a mental block in decision making and execution when it comes to the 4th quarter against the Giants. 3 out 3 is a trend...
