Can Eli Manning Lead the NY Giants to Another Super Bowl?
The New York Football Giants look to win their second Super Bowl in 3 years in 09′. While the previous Super Bowl win was considered an upset but many – this years Giants will not sneak up on anyone.
The NFC East is one of the most competitive divisions in football and winning it will be an accomplishment without a doubt.
The Giants have all the necessary components for a winning football team, good defense, good running game and a Pro Bowl quarterback.
In Week 2, the Giants gave it everything they had at Dallas. This was a game where one team would score, and the other would answer back with a touchdown or field goal of its own.
Perhaps the most impressive part about this game, aside from Eli Manning’s 4th quarter poise, was his use of his wide receivers. The Giants found themselves in a difficult position coming into the season.
After losing both Plaxico Burress (to his gun incident) and Amani Toomer (to retirement), the team saw a gaping hole at the wide receiver position. This is why Mario Manningham was on their radar for the 2009 NFL draft.
Eli Manning has grown up over the last couple of seasons and has become a leader on the field like his old brother – maybe not to the same extent but he is well respectable now. Eli Manning seems to play better on the road then at home, which can be a blessing or a curse, not quite sure.
The Giants have the potential, like a few other teams, to make it far into the playoffs if they gain some momentum.
