118-118 in his career as a starter.

Started his first game on this field.

This is likely the curtain call.

....and I took Giants ML

It does feel like a curtain call for sure. I’m hoping he has a good game. Although I’ve always rooted for him and his brother in the pros. A good family that does a lot for the state of Mississippi.

I’ll save my cooper manning story for another rainy day but I’ll agree. Good folks.
Guess we will have to wait a few years for another one....but make no mistake....He will have an oven hammerhead shaped dome with a rocket Laser attached to his right arm socket.

Have known one side of that family for a long time and always pull for them. They have done so many awesome things for people and when possible wanted their good deeds to fly under the radar. I hope Eli is lights out tonight.

So far he is indeed lights out. Probably has won his starting job back. I'm pulling for him.

A hip breaker for you based on the last sentence. I laughed.

Great first half performance, but turtled the second half. Eli Manning: sub .500 career record. Gonna cause those HOF to think long and hard about letting him in the club.

Not me, not once have I every pulled for that gourd head. Pulled for his brother often but never for him. That bunch of douche bags from Oxford would lick his taint on the Square at high noon but for me he'll always be a damn Black Shark Land Bear douchebag

If he gets in the hall of fame, I think it’s largely because of his last name. He’s really had an average career outside of 2 big wins. But winning Super Bowls as a QB goes a long way.

I agree great family and I respect them but I got in an discussion with a friend

recently about Archie's college career. He was my idol growing up and I thought he was one of the greatest college QB's to ever
play the game. My friend disagreed and said google his statistics, they are not impressive. Archie much like Eli had some huge games on some
big stages but overall both were not one of the greats. Peyton is another story.

Everyone talks about his playoff defining his career. If you take out the two Super Bowl runs, here are his playoff stats:

0-4 W/L. 3 TDs, 9 INTs, 185 Yrd / Game.

I understand it’s hard to take out the 2007 & 2011, but my point is that we don’t always see heroic Eli in the playoffs. In fact, in most years, he leaves a lot to be desired in the playoffs, nevermind the regular season.

He enjoyed living large in NYC.
Up to 2011, during the best part of his career, Eli would still phone it in just about every other year. After the last Super Bowl win, he seemed to not really give a rip.
Didn't really have the fire like his Dad or the work ethic of Peyton.
But he will always own the biggest Super Bowl victory ever in one of the better games.
