He's got most 4th quarter touchdowns because he has to get it done in the fourth quarter. Other great teams with great quarterbacks get it done before the 4th quarter, so they generally take it easy. Such a meaningless statistic, but whatever floats your boat

merge with cowboys/giants thread plz

it helps when you get two games a year against one of the worst 4th quarter qb's of all time, Romo. I'm never betting on that fuck again.

but Tebow

Switch "ELI" with "TEBOW" and maybe I'll read your post

no hate on ELI tho he's the best of the second tier by a lot (first tier right meow being rodgers, brady, benrape/brees interchangeable)

when put against ELI Manning anyone could be considered the worsr 4th quarter qb of all time. THAT being said i said all week the giants were winning this game outright, you only have yourself to blame for not listening to someone with inside knowledge.

I disagree, he has been getting it done in the 4th quarter consistently in crunch time. The pressure is a lot higher in the 4th quarter coming from behind. It is not like tebow where he only puts up 7 points a game. He can't help his defense gives up 3 + TDs every game. it's a sick statistic

If they weren't behind through the first 3 quarters, there would be no need to pass so much in the 4th quarter nor would they have to "comeback" from anything.

I would suspect that if Peyton, Brady, Brees, Rodgers, etc. were behind more often, they'd have more impressive stats in the 4th quarter. But when your team is consistently ahead, you don't have to bother to put up big numbers.

Same criticism applies to Tebow, not just Eli.

How? Tebow puts up 3 points a game. his D gives up less than 10 points.

giants d gives up a shit ton, eli puts up a shit ton, not his fault he has to always come through in the clutch in the 4th, not like he's not scoring in the first 3 quarters unlike Tebow.

totally different situation

tho

Sigh.... The Pats, Saints and Packers and Giants are the worst passing D's in the league. The Pats D is probably the worst overall out of this group and I don't think it would be a stretch to say that the Packers, Giants and Saints have defenses that are probably equal in the quality, with a + to the Packers D for all the turnovers they generate.

The point is, Brady, Rodgers and Brees win the game before the 4th quarter even with their bad D's. So, in 4th quarter they don't need to throw it as much. Obviously, when you need to throw it as much as Eli does in the 4th quarter, you are gonna get more touchdowns.

I support this message.

How fortunate can you be to play for the lead in the division against Dallas? I was watching with a friend who's a huge Dallas fan last night and remember remarking about the bright side, how Dallas was fortunate to only be down 5 pts in the 1st quarter. Is funny how bad that game was. Giants lose that game against any other division 1st or 2nd.
