i thought the giants would win today - they sure had me fooled. i woke up to see some of the 2nd half, i saw manning complete more passes to the carolina secondary than his own receivers.
Truly a disappointing game to watch -- I thought the Panthers would win, but by a field goal, touchdown tops. It makes me wonder how well Couglin prepared them -- they were SHUT DOWN in all phases at Giants Stadium!! Tiki Barber was neutralized, Manning was ineffective. FUGLY!!
As a pure passer, some may give the edge to manning over Brady. But check out their playoff stats side by side. Brady wins by a mile. With 2 minutes left, down by 6, who would you want as QB?
Interesting that Manning stepped it up a few times during the regular season. I thought he being a player who seemingly thrived in tough situations, might step it up again in a playoff game. Someday perhaps he will, but he sure didn't today. I still think he's going to be a very good quarterback in the NFL, and considering he's in the same division as the Eagles, I hope I am wrong.

And the giants get shut out? icky.
That being said...I thought possibly Manning in this game would be another exception...uh, no exception.
Wonder if Grossman be an exception next week?
