http://www.yardbarker.com/rss/player/2695 Recent articles about Eli Manning en-us The New York Giants' loss Thursday night to the floundering Denver Broncos has finally put perspective on the roller coaster ride that is the Giants season—they're not good. Whether the bottom has fallen out of a team with unlimited potential, or they just never had it to start, is insignificant at this point because one thing has become apparent: The Giants offense is not the villain but the victim of head-scratching play calling. It is easy to recognize the talent the Giants p...

Where would you like me to start….? On offense, where Eli Manning looked like a rookie running a new offense with garbage protection and no help from his receivers or the running game…?

Q: What went wrong offensively? Eli Manning: We just never got anything going. Too many third-and-longs. Against this team, you had to get in third-and-manageable situations, then convert on third down. We didn't do a very good job of that. Too many three and outs, kept our defense on the field too long. Q:...

The Broncos have lost four straight games heading into the matchup and The Giants got a win at home last week against The Falcons for the first time in 5 games. Eli Manning showed how much the bye week meant to him, as he threw for a career high 384 yards in a performance that can only be referred to as surgical. After getting a win for the first time in 42 days, The Giants will look...

But after that, Eli had probably his best game of the year in the most important game to date. He threw some of his best deep balls of the [...] Mon, 23 Nov 2009 17:43:58 -0500 http://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/article_external/Boneheaded_Recap_Week_11/1620050 http://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/article_external/Boneheaded_Recap_Week_11/1620050 http://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/article_external/Boneheaded_Recap_Week_11/1620050 http://www.yardbarker.com/media/1/1/1175a3da0ef790b265f943ea34bb8bb1c3268865/small/San_Diego_Chargers_31bf.jpg Eli Manning threw for 384 yards, three touchdowns and led the Giants on a game winning overtime drive yesterday afternoon at the Meadowlands. Let’s elect him New York’s athlete of the year right now. Let’s roll out the red carpet for him every time he walks in and out of Giants Stadium for the rest of his career. Let’s begin praising him as the best pig skin tosser in New York since Broadway Joe. Or…let’s just be thankful that our $100 million quarterback f...

Despite his recent success, negativity and doubt have followed Peyton's younger brother since the moment he was traded from the San Diego Chargers to the New York Giants on draft day of 2004. Regardless of what he does or how well he performs - even in a league that ...

For most of the day the offense moved quite effectively.  Eli had is first 300-plus yard game at home.  Manningham and Smith once again performed on the big stage, proving to Eli they he can trust them to make the big plays down field.  Eli's over the shoulder pass ...

Because of Manning's play, 25 completions out of 39 attempts for 384 yards and 3 touchdowns, the G-men were able to defeat the Atlanta Falcons in overtime 34-31. Bereft of a defense, running game, and placekicker, without question, this makes Manning's effort extraordinary. Let us begin with the defense. Or the fact the Giants have an ordinary one. After watching this game, the Giants defense was a...
