While all plays count toward victory or defeat and QB's historically get credit/blame, I say it wasn't Eli who bested Brady. It was Tyree using his head in an inexplicable out of body experience. And it was Manningham who bested Welker, the former making the spectacular drive-extending catch, the latter dropping a game ending catchable ball.
There's no GM alive who would trade Brady for Eli.
Yeah all good but then let's look t Brady's 1st one (16-27 for 155 yards hardly a performance of the decade) and throw that out too ok? I mean what's fair is fair he did nothing. And to be honest Eli getting out of the clamps of the d-lineman was quite a play, something Brady didn't too well vs the Giants line now did he? Maybe we should blame the lineman and Welker LOL - funny .......No one is stupid enough to think Tom Brady isn't better than Eli but some very stupid people don't like to give credit to Eli either. Their stats in the 2 games they opposed each other are very similar:
2007 Eli 19-34 for 255
Tom 29-48 for 266 (he threw a lot more to get there)
2011 Eli 30-40 for 296
Tom 19-34 for 255
So did he "best" him? No the Giants did but he performed as well if not better and his team won. Do we need to dissect all of Tom's wins to see if he was the sole reason?
Pats fans are so typical as are Eli haters.
