Eli Manning: "We know what it takes to beat the Patriots"

[Seymour93]

Completely innocent. The kid thinks they could of won that game and who could blame him, he just won a big game and is going to the Super Bowl. I'm almost happy that he made the Super Bowl more quickly than his brother.

While he has a more likeable personality than his older brother I can never root for him just because of the sh!tstorm he and his posse made during the 2004 Draft.

Nice - maybe I'll write a book on how to become a millionaire; even though I'm not one

and that would be from watching film of Giants getting lit up in wk 17 or the success of brother Peyton vs Pats ?

"getting lit up" 3 point squeaker is not getting lit up.

agree with the giants fans here. We need to RELAX. Eli wasn't bragging or talking sh!t or anything. WE ALL know how he meant that, so let's please give it a rest. And anyway, just wait - you know that LB Pierce'll say something stupid to get us hyped up sometime in the next 14 days.

he might know what it takes, but it does not mean he has it.

Eli was very co(ky when he said it IMO. Afterwards he caught himself and went back to his "aw shucks" routine. I generally shy away from this kind of smack but it stuck out to me as I watched it.

At his postgame presser.

Material is material. Nobody forced him to say it, he said it himself.

Don't even think for a second that the Pats are going to have some sort of "disrespect" card to play. That's over.

If you really believe that then you really don't know the Patriots.
The disrespect card is NEVER dead for them!
Not when many NFL fans openly root for the Patriots to lose, and still sling insults like Cheatriots and Belicheat at every opportunity.

This team will use every bit of motivation it can to win.
I'm sure that the Jaguars "asterisk" on their website was made known to the players before the AFC divisional round.

Well get ready for the Super Bowl guys! It's gonna be a really exciting 2 week buildup!
Anything disrespectful that slips out of Giants camp, can and WILL be used as further motivation.

BTW Thanks Igor "of foot in mouth" Olshansky, thanks for awakening the slumbering giant.
When will they ever learn?

I wasn't the only one who raised an eyebrow over Eli's comments.

 

[FrontSeven]

No. It was a boast. He was caught up in the moment and let his true feelings out.

See a doctor soon.

 

[PonyExpress]

See a doctor soon.

Are we going to get any more priceless "talent evaluations" from you? Any more brilliant analysis? You are a total joke. Go crawl back in your hole.

 

[flasox27]

Knowing what it takes to beat the Pats is like knowing what it costs to buy a Rolls. Its not useful unless you have the ability to buy it.

 

[marcus]

You can say what you want about Eli...but he is not a trash talker.


This came out on the spur of the moment. I do not think he meant anything by it.


It was more like..."we understand what a great effort it takes to beat a team like the patriots"

 

[dprats2]

Yeah, 1. An extra couple of guys on the field, 2.PERFECT execution by every NYG, 3. Several key shower slips in New England, 4. Anti-Pats officiating, and 5. Devine intervention wouldn't hurt.

Really though, he said it, he's a team leader, he has to take the heat. Don't care which "Blueprint" he is looking at.

Besides, knowing and doing are two different things.

 

[NEP-tune]

I can never root for him just because of the sh!tstorm he and his posse made during the 2004 Draft.

My thoughts exactly. There's no way to redeem from that

 

[Patriot_in_NY]

HeeHee. Not even a couple hours and the Giants are already giving the Pats bulletin board material.

C'mon Eli, you can do better than that. I have confidence in your stupidity. Guarantee a win or call us cheaters or something.

We know what it takes to beat 'em............ We can't fold like an old lawn chair down the stretch and I can't throw a bone-headed pick at the most in-opportune time. Easier said then done, Eli. :singing:

 

[JoeSixPat]

I don't fault the Giants or Manning for expressing confidence - they played a great game against the Pats - and I maintain, as I did back then, that Coughlin was a genius for giving his all against the Pats in a "meaningless" game to give his team confidence

Looks like that's worked out well for them - well done Giants! You deserve to be in the Super Bowl!

 

[fair catch fryar]

Props to Eli and I don't think this was trash-talking, but to think that he'll see the same Pats team he saw in week 16 is not true. Knowing that this is their last MOST important game coupled with 2 weeks to prepare for nice weather. The Giants better be ready to change their game-plan because the Pats will rip them apart if they don't mix it up for AZ!

It is the Post. I would not brag about having a thought it common with them, I would be ashamed of it.
