Mike-

Im’ not sure I follow.

Everone talked about the Jets defense and the Jets held the Saints to 10 offensvie points with Brees throwing for Zero touchdowns. The Saitns won because they forced 4 Turnovers, not because they beat the Jets defense.

Second.

When Eli Manning took over for the Giants they were a 4-12 team.

Since 2005, his first year as a full time starter the Giants have not had One losing season.

Have been to the playoffs four straight years, won a superbowl.

have gone 18-3 on the raod in their last 21 games.

And have had a defense in the top ten in the league one year (last year).

Drew Brees gets to play in San Diego, a system and weather conditions very conducive to throwing, and then plays in New Orleans where he can also accumulate stats becaue of the system and the dome (Eli is 8-1 all time in domes by the way). Eli plays in meadowlands (hard to throw a ball most days, impossible late in the season) in a tougher division, in a system that runs more.

I rest my case.

Even thought the Saints need no introduction…. Eli Manning and the Giants have as much going for them as the Saints do.

Face facts — the Saints are a good team but this is the Giants game to lose. It’s close until you take into consideration the Defensive aspects — the Giants have the #1 defense in the NFL for a reason, theyre damn good.

Everyone was talking about how great the Jets Defense was before the Saints played them. Its going to be a close game, but I think the G-Men will be surprised by the level of play of the Saints D and their running game. Everyone keeps talking about Brees vs. Manning but there really is no comparison. It goes beyond the numbers to experience and good decision making under pressure. For Brees to put up the numbers he has at both San Diego and then New Orleans, two previously unimpressive teams speaks volumes. No player has single handedly changed the fate of a franchise as much as Brees has. Does anyone think that the Saints would have made the NFC championship game in 2006 without Brees? I rest my case.

Brees will make believers out of the Giants this weekend. But so will the Saints running game and defense. Eli Manning is not in the same class as Brees. Do you think the injury depleted Giants secondary will be able to contain the Saints passing attack? NO WAY! The Saints will win this game.

Brees isn’t even in the same class as Eli Manning, and I’m tired of people putting him up in the top 3 QB debate with Peyton and Brady. He can roll outside and throw a decent ball, and he can spot an open receiver, outside of that, he does nothing that well, most people hype him because you see his numbers, but watching the Jets game, his numbers are based on the fact that he clearly will never throw a ball unless his receiver is wide open, and against the Giants, I hope this trend continues, as #91, 72, 94, etc. will be all over him before his vertically challenged ass could do anything about it.
If you’re going to compare Brees to any Manning, it should be Archie, a good QB but he never really made his mark, until he planted the seed, maybe Brees has good loins on him, but his talents are meek compared to Peyton or Eli.
