****The OFFICIAL Giants vs. Tony Romos! thread****
 

In honor of Bob Dole.

I think the Giants are going to pull out a squeaker at the end, with Romo throwing a pick in the endzone with like 10 seconds left in the game, down by four.

Go Giants!

What a day this could be for the Mannings.

I wouldn't mind this Manning winning today.

My thread was first. :harumph:

EDIT: Nevermind. You got a VERY early start on me! My thread can drop now. :sulk:

TONY ROMO! /Bob Dole

Tony Romo/ Bob Dole

Heh.

TD for the Eli's

Sweet!

I think this is the game of the weekend I care least about.

How do you get smoked by old man Toomer?

I hate the Cowgirls worse than any other team in football.

Hey Tony, winning isn't important, but this is:

Easy.

Tackle like Greg Wesley.

Twice.

It's not a Toomah...

go Chiefs :clap:

Kawika Mitchell having an impact early.

TO with his first drop.

I blame Jessica Simpson.

:D

The Giants playcalling is excellent so far.

Interesting that Tampa and Indy both failed to win a playoff game this year after essentially shutting it down towards the end of the season and resting their starters. Dallas did the same thing and looks like garbage thus far.

Good observation.

Go Go Giants.

I have so much resting on this game..;

Man, Dallas should have thought about benching Julius Jones a LONG time ago.

Tony Romo
 

I get tired of the Tony "Waterboy" Romo hype that has been going on this season. He has had two good years and looks to have lots of potential, but for the media to place him in the same light as some of the great ones that have performed year after year is premature in my opinion. I think he needs to demonstrate the consistancy that the Favre's Brady's and Manning's have before declaring him as a player of their caliber. But I wish the Chiefs had him.

Wait till Dallas gets rid of Julius Jones and drafts a better partner for Barber...

I wish we had him OR Eli.

Get your popcorn ready

I'm not going to endure another American Idol commercial.

I'll record the game on my DVR and watch it later if it ends up being a good matchup.

fuck YOU FOX AND YOUR VILE TV SHOWS 4321

Another thing to list he hates.

Good game so far

Bah, NM.

i was posting in the wrong thread... lol

Is Dick Curl consulting for New York?

TO, simply put, is the fucking man when it comes to results and coming back from an injury. He just has an unparalleled work ethic and determination to succeed.

Ah, so watching bad singers being ridiculed on TV every five minutes DURING A FOOTBALL GAME is a good thing for you? I hope you enjoy that show and the rest of Fox's garbage - you're exactly the kind of idiot they're aiming for.

Well, kinda. Unless he doesn't think everyone else is playing up to his standards. Then he's a complete cancer.

Why on Earth would you want Eli Manning? What has he ever done that was ANY good? Bad QB rating every year. Throwing interceptions at horrible times in just about every ball game. Inconsistency. Sucking really bad despite having multiple offensive threats. Bottom line if Eli's last name was not Manning nobody would think he was any good.

Perhaps....

There is just too much passing and throwing way downfield in these games.

for the jets, yeah :D

Ints run in the family based on todays Indy game but Id take Eli or someone with his skills on this Chiefs team in a heartbeat

At this point in his career, Eli is doing more for his team than his brother, Peyton did.

Eli already has a playoff win in his third year as a starter. Peyton didn’t get his first playoff win until his sixth season.

TO
 

Yes I agree how does this guy(T.O.) heal up so quickly? Isn't a high ankle sprain like one of the toughest injury's to overcome and HAS to have sufficient time is the only way to get over it? Amazing. But I still can't stand his A**.

The guy has all the talent in the world he just hasn't realized it yet. He may never realize it, but I'll take that kind of risk, especially over Crodie Boyle..

No, quit it. Stop comparing Eli to Peyton. Not the same guy. Eli makes some Ryan Leaf like decisions. Lets take a look at some Career Stats.

ELI MANNING: 73.4 QB rating; AVG: 6.3 yards; 77/64 TD to INT
DAMON HUARD: 82.0 QB rating; AVG: 6.7 yards; 31/23 TD to INT

I mean freaking honestly. Stop licking Eli Mannings nuts. He's horrible. Has been horrible since coming into the league. The sad thing is he hasn't gotten ANY better since coming into the league four years ago. It's not like he's getting any better. And no I wouldn't trade Croyle for Eli. It might be a toss up, but at least Croyle is younger. Croyle has just as good of an arm as Eli, and the jury is out on if he's reeruned as Eli is in regards to throwing into triple coverage.

Eli had Toomer, Tiki Barber, Jeremy Shockey, Brandon Jacobs, Plaxico Burress. I mean come on now.

Still light years ahead of what our team is working with...

And how??? The surrounding level of talent is better, but not really at QB. The Giants don't really have a hand. Eli is #1 round talent, they have no choice to stick with him. It's a financial decision more than anything.

Eli has thrown more INTs every year since coming into the league, and his TDs or yards aren't going up. If anything, the Giants have done more in Eli's time than the Colts in Manning's time despite Eli.


:spock:

Hilarious. LMAO

Any Jessica Simpson sightings?

For all you can say about Manning if you'd rather have Brodie Croyle than him, there aren't words for that.

Cowboys offensive players are huge... thanks to Parcells

If you look at results ON THE FIELD, and not the fact that he's a Manning offspring or a #1 pick...I really think a swap of him and Croyle would be a complete toss up, if not in the Chiefs favor not to do so.

Eesh drops the pick.

Nice drop of the easy INT.

When Croyle makes the playoffs or wins a playoff game let me know.

I'll take Brodie over Eli as of this point. Eli's prone to INT's, especially in his 4th year in the league.

Eli exactly haven't shown me that he's worthy of being number one. The Chargers made a excellent decision to trade him to the Giants for more picks.

Eli's overrated, always have been, always will.

Again, Croyle can't do everything by himself, just to let you know.

Man those are some homer ****in posts.......obviously Brodie Croyle who's 0-6 and shown a lot of nothing is already better than about 20 of the starting QB's in the league according to some here.

Croyle's first year (9 games)
127/224 (57%), 1227, 5.5 avg, 6 TDs, 6 INTs... 69.9 rating

Eli's first year (9 games)
96/192 (48%), 1043, 5.3 avg, 6 TDs, 9 INTs... 55.4 rating

Again, let me remind you. Troy ****ing Aikman went 0-11 in his first 11 starts.

You really can't tell how good a QB can be with just six ****ing games. How about giving him the ****ing benefit of the doubt, and give him a chance? Jesus Christ couldn't even throw the football, becuase the linemen isn't giving him four seconds to throw the goddamned football.

Come on.

Oh snap.

sh#t. Giants need more than a few players rushing.

here come the cowboys

Hate to point this out to you, but Manning is older, and cost them two first round picks and a third rounder.

Croyle cost one third rounder.

Yeah, I'd rather have Croyle. He cost a hell of a lot less, both monetarily and in draft picks. It's not just about comparing the two physically.

Do you think that the Pats would choose a 29 year old CB who is just a tick better than a 24 year old, when the 29 year old will also command a much larger salary?

Not 'already better', but saying "let me know when Brodie wins a playoff game" is just as dumb as saying Croyle is without a doubt better than Eli.

I think the point is that Croyle's potential of throwing ~20 TDs and ~20 INTs with about 3,000 yard passing and a rating of 75 is pretty good. That's what Eli's done each of his first 4 years.

What's wrong with that statement?

I'm not even remotely looking at what they gave up for him...but hey you can hope he'll be good. I don't think he's a "tick" below either, right now that's a gap.

I don't see it with Croyle, I see a guy who's rail thin that can't stay on the field.

Fa-vah-ra's first pass in the NFL was an INT returned for a touchdown.

FAX

At any rate, Cowboys 14-7.

I'll be surprised if he stays healthy enough to play enough games to get those stats.

They just highlighted the Chiefs inability to win a playoff game....

Thanks for rubbing it in, Fox.

WOHOO 14 yrs baby! I hope Carl saw that.

And with the second-longest number of years since a playoff win: Your Kansas City Chiefs. Ouch.

Nice catch.

Croyle played without a line... he has a nice arm. I feel bad for him.

Some stats mean more than others -- especially for quarterbacks.




(Eli's throw just now) He has good pocket presence

Who was first?

How can that not be part of the assessment? You can't have it both ways.

You can't bitch about what the Chiefs gave up for LJ while you also deride his production and then say that the compensation for Croyle and Manning is immaterial when comparing them.

why are they passing you need a FG here???

Good throw and catch.
