The giants had a reputation that year of stealing games late in the 4th quarter. 15 Eli manning tds in the 4th quarter (record at the time) tied for most game winning drives (8) 4 Jason Pierre Paul blocked field goals which would have tied or even win the game for the other team. Giants defense ranked 2nd in sacks, in spite of being 27th overall. I think the 37-20 thrashing of the packers told the potential of what the giants were capable of. It was probably their only break away win vs an amazing team. Yes the 49ers return man muffed one punt, but the other was a clean strip fumble. Both teams defenses allowed next to no offensive play which required good field position all game. The 2011 giants had the most memorable games won of any team in how they consistently stole games out of nowhere.

I went back and looked at Eli's first 5 "comebacks" and you won't like what I found. In 4 of those games, he had a 54 passer rating through the first 3 quarters. They were behind because of Eli. The 5th? This is pure gold. Against the Eagles, Eli had a 3 point lead with just over 3 minutes to go. And he throws an interception that leads to a tied game. Eli being Eli, he's not done and manages to throw another interception, but time runs out on the Eagles and it goes to overtime. In overtime, he puts together a few yards for a potential score, but throws another interception. If you are keeping track, this is his 3rd one in less than 12 minutes in what was a 3 point game. But, the Giants recover a fumble and in the next three plays, Eli throws it ZERO times. Come on, would you have him throw it again? lol The result is a field goal and Eli gets credit for a 4th quarter/overtime game winning drive when he literally tried to give it away three times. I cannot make this stuff up. I'm sure that if I looked at more of his "comebacks", I would find the same thing. Either he was the direct cause of being behind or he didn't do much to earn it.

@tomknapp6194

29 күн бұрын

Really? Because in the playoffs, the running game and the defense both came alive. That 25th ranked offense gave up an average of 14 points per game. If that were over the entire season, that would be the lowest scoring defense for the year. The rushing game would have ranked 16th. Not great, but still not the bottom dwellers that Eli fans would have us believe. And despite the fact that in both postseasons combined, the defense held all playoff teams to 20 points or less (NFL average is 21 points and each team averaged significantly higher), an average of 15.1 points per game, and an opposing passer rating of 74. And Eli still barely managed to win 5 of 8 games by 4 points or less. And 2 went to overtime in which Eli was an absolute non factor on the actual "game winning drive" that he received credit for. The bottom line is that he was carried by the defense. The Giants could not have won those games without what the defense did. They literally could have won all those games with almost any QB in the league. Before you argue that last point, let's just look at the SBs. The Patriots scored 14 and 17 points. How many QBs could not have beaten that? Remember that the NFL average was 21.

@@tomknapp6194 Gets to and wins a super bowl in his first few years in the league, super bowl mvp, game winning drive against an undefeated patriots defense, wins, next year, best team in the league by far, through 12 weeks, eli might go back to back, and plaxico shoots himself, which completely changes everything, not just for that season. completely changed his career trajectory and legacy, biggest what if ever, his career would be extremely different if not for that moment. but that’s just a hypothetical, so after they lose that season after all being demoralized, they don’t make another run until 2011, where in the regular season, he set the all time record at the time with 7 4th quarter comebacks and 8 game winning drives, idk in what world the defense carried him to all those game winning drives and clutch moments that gave them a chance to make the playoffs that year, but maybe they did somewhere, he follows that up with 1200+ yards, 9 touchdowns and 1 interception in the playoffs on his way to winning his 2nd super bowl mvp😂he was a massive part of winning that super bowl, if the team was so good, all of what i mentioned wouldn’t have been necessary out of eli for them to win, not to mention his top 10 in yards and tds all time, and his 27 all time 4th quarter comebacks and 37 game winning drives, just in the regular season, the only other times the giants ever put another good team around him was the next year when he was in the mvp discussion early on after a huge game against the bucs, injuries all over the team derailed that year, and the next time he had a good team, he made the playoffs at 11-5, beat the cowboys twice that year, the only team that seemed to be able to and if anyone else could they would’ve had a home playoff game, either way, they go to green bay, and after all year him playing conservative and seeming to show his age and just do enough to help a good team win, he turns back the clock and looks like he did in 2011-2012, but his receivers drop 2 touchdowns on the opening drive, then another drop in green at territory to end a drive, then another, then green bay gets a HAIL MARY as if it was scripted that it would happen to the giants the way it did to the packers, except this one was in a close game, compared to the 2011 game never being close if it wasn’t for the refs and the hail mary being icing on that cake, he still keeps them in the game single handedly with the throw to taverious king, and the team let him down, that was his last hoorah and after that age got him, but yeah, not gonna sit here and tolerate that eli slander when the truth his he had a good career and made the most of it and had great moments even if he threw sum interceptions ill live with them if they get me everything else i mentioned 💯if he had a team around him that some great quarterbacks did he wouldn’t have had to take as many risks and wouldn’t have taking as many hits either, i didn’t even mention the way he handled getting hit, terrible offensive lines later in his career; and never missed a game, again, just a hypothetical, but if plaxico doesn’t shoot himself, and things go the way they were going, he atleast wins 1 more super bowl after the 2007 one, and goes back to back, that’s 3 super bowls, very elite class he’d be in, again, big hypothetical here, but you mentioned him being carried and all this, so if we’re basing it off of what HE DID and what HE DESERVED in his career, he actually should’ve won more, bc in 2016, people had the giants making the super bowl run again, the defense was crazy, the offense had talent, and eli could be magic in the playoffs even in his older age, everyone seems to know that except you, the only weakness on that team was the o-line, which eli had to overcome, he was constantly pressured that year getting hit and running when he’s not built to be running or moving from the pocket that much, and still, with that situation, eli shows up to icey cold green bay like he always does slinging the rock right where it needed to be, and his superstar and star receivers, let him down, if they don’t, they win that, build momentum, maybe he win 4 super bowls, i guess basically like you’re saying “the team carried him he was average” and i completely disagree saying his team held him back most of his career and he helped elevate his teams the times they were good because they never were predicted to be based on talent, they always overachieved, players played better being motivated by seeing eli, and if they didn’t hold him back, and plaxico didn’t shoot himself holding the whole team back the one year he really had a good team, he’d be a 4 time super bowl champ, he’d be well respected, better regular season career would follow all this, and you’d be just as wrong as you are now about him not being great as is, pretty easy to see why he had an even record if you see the teams he was on for his career, and even without my hypotheticals, he accomplished enough to call it a GREAT career.

@@zwoptf Wow, was there one period in that whole post? Ok, jokes aside, I can boil all that down to one sentence. Eli needed to be carried. What did I miss? There are so many misleading things about Eli's career. I'll pick a some of the most glaring ones from your 45 paragraph run on sentence. Eli couldn't without Plaxico? From what I see, through 11 games, Plaxico had 454 yards, 4 TDs, and a 53% catch rate. And he was the superstar? lololololololololo That year, the Giants went 12-4 and you want to think that 3200 yards, and 22 TDs by Eli was the major reason? That's also funny! The only real contribution he made was that he only had 10 interceptions. Very un-Eli-like. I think it has more do with the defense holding 11 teams to 20 or fewer points. A point to be brought up again later...... I'm not a big fan of 4th quarter comes because, unless the defense was a real letdown, it was because of the QB. In fact, in many of Eli's "comebacks" he literally stank the place up for 3/4 of the game and then has a miracle breakthrough. And the Giants can owe both 2007 and 2011 to the Cowboys. In both seasons, a single easy catch that was dropped would have sent the Giants home both years. And what is your response to him having the most yards in a postseason just because he had more opportunity, but his average or even yards/attempt weren't that good? But, the main point is that Eli just isn't good. In fact, in 9 of 16 years, his passer rating was below the NFL average. In 5 of the other 7 it was a mere 3.8 or lower above the average, or still just average. So, in 2 of 16 years, he was somewhat above average. How do you explain this? Top 10 TDs and yards? Just throwing a long time for below average results is not impressive. Put me in long enough and I'll have more than Eli even though I'll be well below average. Eli's TD percentage (TDs/attempts) is actually just high than 70th all time. His yards/attempt are 90th plus. There is no magic in throwing a lot for below average results. And please tell me how many teams Eli beat that scored more than 20 points in the playoffs. After all, teams making the playoffs should be high scorers, right? Anything else you would like cleared up?

Maybe repeating other comments here, but the 1970 Colts were led by Don McCaffrey and not Don Shula as the video keeps showing. In fact, Don Shula went to coach the Dolphins that year, leading them to their first ever playoff game. Also the Bengals were in only their 3rd season of existence and they made the playoffs as well albeit with an 8-6 record in the weak AFC central division. OTH, the Cowboys were a dominant team who would blow out the Dolphins in Super Bowl 6, but couldn't put away the Colts, showing that the 1970 Colts in spite of 7 turnovers and supposedly being so weak did what it took to win Super Bowl 5 against a very good team.

Nice video homie

As a Niner fan, the 2011 NFCCG is the loss that leaves the worst taste in my mouth. The Niner defense was so great for a lot of that season and in that game, Eli and the Giant offense couldn't move the ball against the Niner defense after the 1st half. All the Giants 10 point scored after halftime were solely because of those Kyle Williams turnovers (BTW he shouldn't have even been returning kicks because Ginn was injured the previous week against the Saints because of Bountygate). Yes, I know the Niner offense didn't do too much either late in the game, but I would've loved to have seen how it would've played out if not for 1 guy giving away the game. Plus, let's not forget that quick whistle late in the 4th when Bradshaw was stripped but they called forward progress. That easily would've been in Akers FG range

First off the Giants should have been 10-6, but a terrible call cost them the GB game on SNF. Second, Eli could have been MVP, he did set the record for most 4th Quarter TDs. Week after week he lead a comeback. Third their pass rush didn’t start clicking until week 12 but my playoffs was in full force. Watch those playoff games, Matt Ryan, Aaron Rodgers, Alex Smith and Tom Brady got pounded into the dirt. Fourthly, Bradshaw was a beast, the second half of Niners game he was getting big chunks of yards against a great defense. 2011 Giants would beat 2010 Packers, 2012 Ravens, easily.

Why do you think that the Giants were losing in the first place? I looked at Eli's first 5 "4th quarter/overtime" wins and what I found was embarassing. In 4 of the 5 Eli, had a passer rating of 54 through the first 3 quarters. So, they were in that position in the first place because of him. The 5th? I swear I cannot make this stuff up. Against the Eagles, a 3 point lead, just over 3 minutes remaining, and the ball, Eli throws an interception that leads to a tied game. The Giants get the ball back, but Eli throws another interception. This time, the clock is on the Giants side and no real harm is done. Then in overtime, it looks like Eli is driving for a potential win, until he throws another interception. That is 3 interceptions in less than 12 minutes of either a three point or tied game. But, the Giants, got a sack/fumble recovery. Then in three plays, without a single pass attempt, a FG is kicked and Eli is given credit for a 4th quarter/overtime win. He literally tried to give the game away and was credited for the win.

I'm not so sure about that. I'm not sure they would have beaten the 2011 Ravens either if they didn't lose the AFC Championship in such a tragic manner.

2011 Giants. They're the only 9-7 team to win, the only team with a negative point differential, the league-worst rushing offense, low-ranking defense (until the playoffs), they had an easy (on paper) regular season schedule that they still barely took advantage of, and they benefited from a weak division that year where the "Dream Team" Eagles fizzled out and their closest competition the Cowboys came up short. They also got swept by the Skins! Overall, they were a team that got hot just at the right time.

The 2011 Giants was the most incredible, thrilling, unbelievable season for any team in sports. An atrocious defense that was entirely dependent on sacks to stop drives, a miserable run game that provided zero momentum, and (people forget) a rather poor offensive line that couldn't give any push for the run and frequently left Eli dancing in the pocket. They lost to bad teams, and almost lost to several more bad teams. They didn't have a non-nail biter win until the regular season. The team was only consistent in its inconsistency, and its 4th quarter prowess. An unfathomably clutch team, led by Eli Manning who played his brains and body out for the entire year. The opposite of a "mobile quarterback", he was surprisingly adept at maneuvering around the ever-collapsing pocket. He developed excellent rapport with his receivers in a highly unorthodox offense. He carried the offense and threw for nearly 5000 yards with stud Hakeem Nicks in tow but also elevated no-names Mario Manningham and Jake Ballard into relevancy and of course beckoned the way for Victor Cruz to have one of the greatest seasons for a wide receiver ever. Sure Aaron Rodgers had the better numbers, but Eli WAS the offense and he was working with a lot less; he should have been the MVP. This was a team on stilts in a hurricane. Take away Eli and this team would be lucky to scrape out a couple wins. Take away just one of Nicks, Cruz, or JPP and this team would have easily lost at least 3 more games. The 2011 Giants were an underdog through and through, making the most of the little talent they had to take down goliath after goliath. I will always remember them fondly.

Eli Manning 2011 season has to be one of the most underrated qb seasons of all time

Giants super bowl win was scripted 🥱

The Giants got the memo towards the end of the year that they have the best front-4 in football and can pressure the QB while keeping a full secondary on the field.

The tuck rule was crazy. The defense absolutely mugged the receivers down field in the super bowl. they would be able to get away with that now

While the Giants Defense was bad in terms of points allowed and yards allowed, it was Tied for 5th in Takeaways and Tied for 3rd in Sacks in 2011. Victor Cruz was 2nd Team All Pro so regardless of not making the Pro Bowl was still great with nearly 1600 yards, Nicks had nearly 1200 yards. The run game couldve been better but in fairness our RBs got hurt several times throughout the season. Not saying its the best team to ever win the SB, but in context it was a top 10 offense with an aggressive defense that forced turnovers in key moments and got pressure on opposing QBs. Definitely wouldn't say its the worst team to win the SB by any stretch.

There's an episode of Adam Ruins Everything where he makes the case that the best team each year rarely wins the Super Bowl, and that a single elimination playoff system is going to guarantee that subpar teams can make it all the way through sheer luck.
