Eli Manning does not need to force the issue and try to emulate his brother. We have the 4th ranked rushing attack (previously 6th), and the 6th ranked total defense (previously 7th), why is the media putting the owness on Eli? Most successful Championship teams win with a running game and defense. Elway didn't win until he acquired Davis, and he was one of the most prolific passers in history.
Eli needs to focus on avoiding unforced turnovers, holding on to the pigskin, and being more accurate with his passes. But for goodness sake, if the pass is not there, move around the pocket and "throw it away", don't succumb to the pressure, let Feagles (one of the best) punt the ball away, and put your defense in a position to be successful.
Once we went to the running game, everything turned around for us this week. The only score in the second half, came off an Eli interception (ill advised pass). Some of the best passes are the ones you don't attempt. Throwing it out of bounds when there's nothing there, and utilizing your punter, gives your entire team great confidence in you as a leader, and that "confidence" permeates all aspects of the "TEAM".
Eli has great tools, but when your defense is beginning to click, and you have a rookie show you what he is capable of at this point in the season, that should bring him a tremendous sense of relief. You have all the support you need dude, use them, don't force $#@!. Don't listen to the critics, lead your team by example, and watch them respond to your leadership.
We're one of the sleepers this year, if we don't make costly errors, I believe we can win it all. You will get your chances to throw the ball to Plax, just be patient. With a running attack like that, they are going to have to load up in the box, eventually. Be easy Eli, and get in the gym this off season too. It can't hurt.
