Highlights of EVERY Eli Manning Career Game Winning Drives (4th Quarter/OT) 

Spot on! Not to mention those 20 game-winning TDs, also good for 2nd all time. Also, the NFL record 15 4th Q TDs in 2011.

Thats what nobody talks about.. He definitely HOF

Blame Jerry Reese...horrible GM

@@dandandkl9048 The Giants started falling apart around Eli in 2011, even though they won the SB that year it covered for serious fundamental roster deterioration. Weird injuries plagued those teams, too.

@@walthammassagefitness Two main problems- Jerry Reese kept making terrible draft picks, a lot reaching with drafting athletes that didn’t know how to play football; and two, after he made some good second picks, he never re-sign any of them, except for one, their slot receiver the past three years. Also, they are the only team that never races up, so they lost some good players who were drafted by other teams willing to trade up past Giants turn to select. And the bad coaches after Coughlin was fired. Reese got lucky in his first year but was very bad GM after that. If Eli had better offense, he could’ve won a third CHIP. He was a clutch, clutch player with game on the line, unlike Romo. Like Michael Jordan is 6-0 in Finals, Eli was 2-0 in Superbowls, haters can never argue on that record!

Cause he’s got a crush on his partner from the Cowboys, so he can’t make Eli look good.

@@dandandkl9048 I know Joe Buck is pretty polarizing. I hated the Tyree helmet catch call. But the call, "Manning, lobs it...Burress ALONE, Touchdown New York!" I love that call.

To be honest i used to hate him for it, but he must hate us even more lol

I hate his commentary

To be fair, I'd say he's definitely improved since then. It's pretty clear when you hear his calls from the 2012 game against Tampa Bay compared to the clips featuring him before that -- there's a lot more excitement in his voice there.

forever

Phil Simms is my #1 Eli right there also

Even in the shit years, New York never stopped loving him. We knew it wasn't his fault.

Same here. He's one of my literal heroes. Eli will forever be my QB. To quote the man himself from his retirement speech, "Once a Giant, _only_ a Giant".

@@bonvct Do you realize that during the "shit years" as you put it, let's say 2012-2019, Eli had a higher passer rating than 2004-11 when he had two SB MVPs and had squat to show for it? A better QB and not a single playoff win. How do you explain this?

In a lot of ways it was even more surreal than 2007

With the way Eli kept getting bailed out, only magic describes how.

That 2015 defense was something special. And by special I mean historically pathetic

Blame, Jerry Reese- who did not understand defense wins championships! Such a terrible GM!

Here's something you might not expect. Let's break his career into halves from 2004-11 and 2012-19. Despite the fact that his best year was in the first half and his worst year was in the second half, he was a better QB in the second half with more completions, only 5 fewer TDs, but 15 fewer interceptions. He actually has a better passer rating in the second half in which he had ZERO playoffs wins. Someone, please explain this.

@@tomknapp6194 our defense choked so many times in Eli’s last few years (2015 and 2018 in particular) despite Eli and the offense putting in work. I genuinely believe Eli could’ve gotten at least one more ring if our front offense didn’t neglect the defense entirely.

@@jackbarnum9110 Actually, when I saw the Giants lose, it was because of Eli. First game of 2015 vs the Cowboys? Last game of 2018 vs the Cowboys? Vs the Eagles Dec 9th, 2019? All of those games were L's because of Eli. It was rare when I saw a game in which I could say, "Wow! Eli really pulled it out!" at any point of his career. The sad fact is that even at his best, Eli was not a top 10 player.

117-117 and a 4th quarter passer rating of 83 would disagree.

@@tomknapp6194 I meant in 2011 in particular, he was definitely pretty average outside of the Super Bowl years

@@jonathangreenway3416 "2011 Clutch Eli" still had to rely on multiple lucky plays. Playoffs against SF? 10 points off of fumbled punt returns in a 3 point game. Eli had 58 attempts for 312 yards and 2 TDs. Out of 15 other drives, he only crossed midfield 3 other times. That's hardly clutch. Needing Brady to have one of his worst games of the year and still needing a last second lucky play for the win is not clutch. There is a whole lot about Eli that most people don't see just because they read only headlines.

@@tomknapp6194 8 "lucky" game winning drives that year. 6 of them in the regular season and at the time tied for the most 4th quarter passing TDs ever in a single season with his brother and Unitas. 2/2 "lucky" wins against Brady and the Pats that year too. He had an all-time great year on a team that never deserved to even sniff the playoffs. And you conveniently forgot the other two playoff games where he lit up the Falcons and the 15-1 Packers.

@@jonathangreenway3416 Um, yeah..... When a guy (Rodgers) has an average passer rating 122 for 16 games and then has a 76 in the playoffs, that's all Eli! The Falcons averaged 26 points per game and then only 2 in the playoffs! That was because of Eli! Something to think about, Eli has never beaten a single team that has scored more than 20 points in the playoffs. 8 wins. All opponents scored 20 or less. That isn't luck?

With a shitty team half if not more of his career!

One of the worst was giants vs patriots 2015, defense had a dropped pick and Brady had a fourth and 10 completion.

@@GmenMMA we were 4-2 before that loss smh

Or if our offensive line was better

2016 was our year too smfh

@@jonspencer4767 imagine if Odell and the WRs didnt go on the party boat before that game. That said, defense didnt play well either, but Eli WAS on point, I remember that.

I was there!

The way the ball just goes straight down after its high point is nuts ... perfection

Tough? Maybe. Smart? Debatable. Accuracy and consistency? That's laughable! In his 16 years, his completion percentage was top 10 ONCE! Most of the time it was in the high teens or higher. I swear Giants fans have rose colored glasses on when they look at Eli.

@@tomknapp6194 Tough? Maybe?... That some sort of joke?

@@robwest2813 The rest of his career was, so that might be also.

@@tomknapp6194 Can't figure out if you're a troll or a clown? Hard to tell...

I completely agree with you..

Eli has a career passer rating of 84.1, which was below the NFL average for the time he played. His 4th quarter passer rating was 83.8, which was below his already below average passer rating. In the last 2 minutes, he was just as likely to throw a TD as interception, 22 for both through his career. I hardly consider that to be clutch. He just received some very favorable headlines in some games that he was carried by the defense, but there were a lot of other 4th quarters that were lost directly because of him. And you want to know who had 8 fewer game winning drives than Eli? Romo. In 107 fewer games. At the time of his retirement Romo had the highest 4th quarter passer rating in history and somehow had a reputation as a choker...... Eli's 4th quarter passer rating? I don't think that he's even in the top 10.

Hater this was bad ass

@@thesavageman4273 You just hit the nail on the head. I posted 100% facts and you called me a hater. Maybe he wasn't as good as you think he was if you think I am one. If Eli was as good as you think he was, you could have come back with multiple great accomplishments that he has done. But, the facts are that every accomplishment he has, outside of the iron man streak, comes with a huge asterisk. He got credit for the win, but he just wasn't the factor that his fans think he was.

And guess what romo won? Absolutely nothing.

He's in my top three- Simms, Eli and Joe Montana...3 clutch, clutch players; and tough. Eli was the toughest one though, played 13 straight seasons before idiot MacAfool sat him down! Talk about not seeing the big picture!

Wow, setting your bar low, aren't you? He's barely above a backup.

@@tomknapp6194 I said my favorite. 😂

No shit bro..he would of got a couple more rings for sure..eli could still play when he retired but he knew the team was trash especially the line

Imagine of the Giants just kept Coughlin lmao, instead they went with two knuckleheads

Ben Macadoo, crap coach, i.e., Giants’ Rich Kotite I guess.

@@dandandkl9048 i can kinda get the mcadoo hype because he was the OC that saw the giants get off their turnover prone, ineffectual final years under Kevin Gilbride (the OC that won two SBs and had Eli throw for nearly 5000 yards and an NFL record 4th quarter TDs) and he was part of the Mike McCarthy coaching tree back when that meant something; but when they went after Pat Shurmer who had already failed as HC of the Browns, that really added salt after the ownership threw Tom Coughlin under the bus and forced him to retire, especially after TC took a lead front office job with the Jags and immediately got them within a quarter of a super bowl. We'll see how good Judge is, he shows promise but time will tell.

@@NYG5 Both were bad hires made by bad GM, President and ownership! Gave no help to Eli, yet allowed, allowed, stupid coach to replace Eli with ex-Jet back up QB, Geno freaking Smith,!! What a joke! That was so unforgivable, totally blame ownership, the Maras.

If you break up his career between 2004-2011 and 2012-2019, despite having his best year in the first half and his worst year in the second half, he was a better QB in the second half and won ZERO playoff games. How do you explain this?

@@tomknapp6194 Pretty simple. Great QB on a bad team.

@@robwest2813 Eli's career passer rating was 84.1, which was well below average. He never beat a single playoff team that scored more than 20 points. In fact, through his career he lost 75% of the games in which the defense gave up 21+ points. He won 75% of the games in which the defense gave up 20 points, which was below the season average every single year Eli played. Literally carried by the defense.

117-117 would disagree with him being good.

No butter-fingers with them.... True...

117-117 does not indicate clutch. Neither does averaging 18th in the passer rating of a 32 team league. That's not even the top half.

@@tomknapp6194 this is your comment on a video titled “Highlights of EVERY Eli Manning Career Winning Drives (4th Quarter/OT)”? Are you fucking stupid or did you watch this video with your eyes closed? Did you also close your eyes during Super Bowl 42 and Super Bowl 46? Did you not witness how clutch Eli was during the 2011 playoffs? You dumb shits love to preach “wins are not a QB stat” but it becomes one with Eli because you guys are angry that he’s accomplished more than your team’s QB will ever accomplish.

@@Assman180 For those 4th quarter/OT wins did you actually see how he played through the first 3 quarters? Most of the time they were in that situation because Eli was a ghost. And yes, I did watch the 2007 season playoffs recently. I saw a Giants defense that was manhandled by Favre, Brady, and Romo (x2) in the regular season, suddenly come alive, drop each one between 30 and 64 in the passer rating and hold them to an average of 20 fewer points, and Eli still needed lucky plays for narrow wins win. And all the credit goes to Eli? Please explain? How often is a punt fumbled? Once every few games? Well, in this one, the game tying score and the go ahead scored were the results of fumbled punts. And that isn't lucky? And then Brady has one of his worst games of the year and once again that makes Eli great?

117-117. Never a league MVP, you know for an entire season not a game that the defense won for him. Never an all pro. Even second string. 4x Pro bowl. That's good for 16 years? Seriously? Never led in completions, completion percentage, TDs, TD percentage, yards, yards/attempt, or passer rating. In his SIXTEEN YEARS, he had a top 10 passer rating once. ONCE. But, he did manage to lead the league in interceptions 3 times. His 27 has only been surpassed once in the last 20 years. Never even the best QB in the NFC East. Is that the Eli you are talking about?

@@tomknapp6194 are you a troll account or something. You have commented on every Eli manning comment Lmfaoo you got nothing else to do ??

@moneymitch3903 People are spreading lies about Eli being anything other than below average. I get called a lot of names, but never disproven. Eli fans try to pass off opinions as facts and it is easy to make Eli look even worse.

They were going to win the Superbowl that year if he didn't shoot himself, but I always felt if they win 43 they don't win 46. Both timelines they win 2. Lol

And 3rd SB MVP

@@UncleGrant796 lolololololololololololololol Eli basically tripped his way through both SBs and most of the 2007 playoffs. He got lucky. Be happy with that because he was never good.

@@tomknapp6194 I'm ignoring your comment because you clearly don't know football kid

@@UncleGrant796 You accuse me of not knowing football. Please put out Eli's entire resume for making it to the HoF. If you are thinking it is a trap, you are right. There is A LOT to Eli's career that sounds good, but when you dig deeper, it really isn't. But, don't let that stop you! Please put something up and be embarrassed! BTW, more than likely I've been watching football longer than you have been alive.

@@tomknapp6194 no you haven't im 42

Odell got his just desserts. I guess he never appreciated the QB or the NY fans! That’s why he’s such a non-entity now in Ohio.

Bingo.

So many people used to say Odell made Eli. Nope. Future HOFer Eli Manning made Odell. Everyone sees that now.

It's the injuries. He's really not been healthy since going to Cleveland. If he gets healthy I think he's going to be great again. OBJ was a tremendous player during his time in NY.

@@alexdc912 Plus Odell wasn't there when the Giants won the SBs. In all fairness, injuries can screw anyone up.

Heres my top 5 5. 49ers 2015 4. Cowboys 2011 3. Drive at the end of regulation in 2011 championship (even though it ended in a punt :( 2. Broncos 2005 1. Buccaneers 2012 (both deep balls to cruz and Nicks)

Odell so long giants lead is such an underrated call

@@kylebower8167 I’m L wqwwwwwwwew

@ Phi '06 O.T.

@@kylebower8167 Going with your #4. The JPP block FG that year was awesome, too.

Yup, the refs had to back off helping the cheater during those games as everyone was watching and knowing the tainted history of marsha brady....

Yeah, Eli was great on defense when he shut down Brady. And Romo. And Favre. And Rodgers. And Brady again.

@@tomknapp6194 Listen ..... not trying to explain anything. New York "Football" Giants 🏈 have Won 4 Super Bowls 🏆🏆🏆🏆 . With that said, everyone knows New York "Football" Giants always won having a Strong Defense .... With A Balanced offense ... nothing to flashy. Hit your Tight End Mark Bavaro .... Run the ball

@@benedettomansueto4016 Unfortunately, your "balanced offense" consisted of Eli. Who basically has the same per pass stats of QBs that no one would ever consider for the HoF. He really was not that good. He was carried through two playoffs and in the four other playoffs, those were disasters. They may have won two SBs with Eli as QB, but he was not the reason why they won.

@@tomknapp6194 I root for the New York "Football" Giants team Ultimately ... Mark Bavaro ... Lawrence Taylor. ... Eli Manning are definitely my favorite Giants players. In the 18-1 no perfect season for Cheaters New England Patriots trash 🗑️👎 eat it cry babies

@@benedettomansueto4016 Do you even understand how Eli won those SBs? The Patriots were putting up over 35 points per game, but in the SB only had 14 and 17 points and that was because of Eli? Please explain. I've been waiting a decade for someone to have a semi reasonable explanation.

Maybe you forget the other 4 times Eli made it to the playoffs. 4 games, 4 losses, 3 crushing defeats, 1 shutout and collectively 3 TDs, 7 ints, 1 game over 169 yards, and 53 passer rating. Eli fans conveniently forget about those "playoff runs".

They are (5-1)..Thus, far...

Especially against the Cowgirls...

Did you actually watch Eli in 2007?

Eli should have none. Both times carried by the defense.

@@theog2306 Before I totally embarrass you, just answer one question. Does a QB have a better chance having more yards in 3 or 4 games? All I'm looking for is a number, not an opinion.

Peyton has more career 4th qtr comebacks and game winning drives than Eli.

@@yeomane ok slap nuts.............who asked you? i don't care what you say, i don't care what stats you pull from your hemmoroid-inflicted ass, I'm still taking Eli come clutch time.

How many interceptions were supposed to be routine catches because the Giants never had good receivers

I wonder how many catchable tipped balls turned into interceptions for Eli? I'm thinking at least 25-30

In 2013 his worst season I routinely watched receivers run the wrong routes and drop routine catches. He had absolutely no one to throw the ball to that year. And no offensive line as usual

You are forgetting one important fact. Eli is Eli and Eli is average at best.

@@tomknapp6194 hmmmm who is the only QB to beat Mr. Goat twice in the Suberbowl? Who was that? Mr. Average so what does that say about Tom?

@@ractsninjas If Eli faced Tom at his AVERAGE, it would have been a blow out. But, Tom was having one of his worst games of the year, and Eli still needed a lucky play to pull it out. That should spell volumes for you right there. Eli is AVERAGE at best.

@@tomknapp6194 😆 lucky 😆 LUCKY! Tom NEVER had a lucky play during his Super Bowl wins. I mean obviously Tom is better than Eli, but we have to admit Tom had some REALLY lucky plays also.

@@ractsninjas And Brady has one of the best passer ratings in history and has won 75% of his games. But, for Eli to win both times when not even average Brady showed up is just the tip of the iceberg for Eli.

Its considered the biggest rivalry in NFL history behind the bears and packers

@@elimanningtribute5359 Cowboys vs Eagles is bigger and I'm a Ravens fan who despises the Steelers.

@@kaijucifer3544 No offense but that's a very young person thing to say

@@elimanningtribute5359 my father and mother who are 60 and 51 respectively who have been watching for longer than both you and I, are of the same opinion. And they are Eagles fans.

It wouldnt be so underrated these days if the giants didnt lose those games so goddamn always
