Cuz "the old Eli" showed up today.  Throw a great pass, then throw a shitty one.  Get called for delay of game.  Damn near gave me a heart attack.

I had NE. Can't begin to tell you how thrilled I am. And these damn Steelers arn't looking all that great either.

Wasn't to happy about the Jets winning either. I wanted to hear the excuse man.

one of the more underrated QBs in the game. I wished I could have watched the Giants vs Patriots game. Next year I'm getting direct Tv.

Yes, we were helped by a questionable pass interference call, but you take 'em when you get 'em.  Eli showed that he still has steel in his backbone, and driving Big Blue to the winning TD in the closing minute reminded me of his performance in Super Bowl XLII.  Great win...we're 6-2, but the road ahead is difficult...Niners, Saints, Pack, Jets, Eagles, and Cowgirls (twice) still up.  There's one game left against the Skins as well, but they are pretenders that are fading.  If we can win five of those...see you in January!

and the big ones were pretty blatant.  What bothered me about the game was mainly Eli.  He'd been so great over the previous 4 games, showing terrific accuracy and never throwing stupid passes. Yesterday it seemed he regressed.  He'd also avoided taking a delay-of-game penalty for a long time, then did it yesterday at the worst possible time.  So it was frustrating.  If he'd played more consistently he wouldn't have had to pull a miracle out of his ass at the end.
I'm glad he did and maybe I'm carping too much about a win they desperately needed considering the schedule.  I still like the guy.  And it was great to see the Giants' D of old.  They basically beat the crap out of one of the best QBs in the game.  Dude will be sore all week.
(Jets looked damn good, too.)

for all the stupid plays the pats made both on offense and defense .  Bottom line is Giants won, doesnt matter how.

It was not a well-played game by either team, the only exception being the Giants' D.  I was very surprised at all the mistakes made by a Belicheck team.  Can't believe they've lost two in a row.  Next weekend will be fun, but if for any Jets fan the last thing I'd want to be is a team coming into Foxboro after the Pats have lost two straight.

its not in Foxboro, we already beat them in new england on a warm day in October

they are a different team now, especially the defense.  For the first time the Jets' D looks like last year's.  The Pats have a good offense but the Giants showed how to stop it.  The only time Brady got anything done was when the Giants stopped blitzing.  The Jets never stop blitzing.  Their offense isn't as good at the Pats but the Pats' defense is mediocre.  So the matchup looks a lot like the Giants game.  It's a toss-up.
