the giants are the first team to win a sb with a 9 - 7 season record. eli gets credit there, but they are still much more talented than the colts.

Peyton Manning is smoother and more polished than Eli, but he is not better.
Eli Manning is tough.
He stands in the pocket and takes hit after hit and just keeps delivering, and he has been doing that for years.
I'll take that every day over peyton, whose chokes in the playoffs are the direct result of shitting his pants against pressure.
You play a physical defense, and consistently get after Peyton Manning and he starts getting rid of the ball early in an offense that is all about timing.
Toughness, both mental and physical, are a huge parts of QB greatness, especially in the playoffs.
Peyton Manning pales in comparison to Eli in that aspect.
