I'd mentioned in my post that Eli escaped 2 certain sacks. The question was do you chalk that up to talent or luck?

I gleefully remember when Merriman caught Peyton by the shoe to end a potential game winning drive and I remember the Tyree play where it seemed like Eli's ass was grass twice before he chucked up the rainbow that landed on Tyree's head. Are you chalking up Eli's "poise" to talent as opposed to luck? Statistically, it’s not close. Peyton wins. I’m of the opinion that Eli has an enormous horse shoe lodged up his ass. Sometimes I wonder if you head is up yours.  |
Gadzooks:
This is what you fail to realize: Had Eli been sacked or David Tyree dropped the pass, the Giants would have faced a fourth down with less than 7-8 yards to go for a first down. Eli did not have had to perform a miracle with Tyree on that down. There was no luck involved.
Please let me know if you don't understand.
