Im not defending Eli.Guys muff punts, it happens. Yes, it was a big mistake, but that shit happened early in the 2nd quarter. All he did after that was throw (yes throw) a 57 yard TD to Barkely and catch another TD along with 131 total receiving yards for the game, turning what was a 14-3 deficit into a 31-30 lead with only 1:08 left. Predictably, Giants D allowed them to gain 30 yards in that minute and still took a 63 yard field goal to win the game for Carolina. Eli throwing picks on back to back 2nd half drives when they were only down 20-16 leading to 1 Carolina TD probably greater effect on the game overall.
As far as the running his mouth to the media stuff I agree 100%. But it's just laughable watching Eli burn 45-50 seconds of clock trying to sneak that in twice in a row, before throwing up a contested pass Beckham just snatches. That team is literally Barkley and OBJ right now.
However, its not like ODB is playing at a high level. Hes not.
