Despite Eli.

They were down 14-0 very early in the game and came back to take the lead. And then after Eli threw another int on the first play of the second half and the Bills took the lead. The defense made it happen, returning 2 picks for TD's. Also huge days by the backfield of Jacobs and Bradshaw. Finally in the second half, they stopped letting Eli throw the ball. He also did manage to fumble 3-4 snaps in the game which he lost 2 of. Just a great effort from the other 52 guys on the roster.
I am very excited to see them in the playoffs again, especially after the way the seaon started. But relistically I am not expecting much, even though in my opinion the NFC is not that strong. Mr Manning better sharpen up his game for the playoffs if they are going to have any shot. They won today despite him, but they will not be able to do that in the playoffs. I guess I just have to keep the faith in a guy that the only thing that he has going for himself right now is his last name.

My faith in Eli will never waiver again! The kid has finally arrived in a SUPER way!

Eli joins one of the most elite groups in professional football -- Super Bowl winning quarterback. I count him as 27th different QB. Multiple winners is proverbial Who's Who: Starr, Staubach, Griese, Bradshaw, Plunkett, Montana, Elway, Aikman, Brady. One of every three QBs is repeat winner. Eight are Pro Football Hall of Fame members (and Brady is first ballot when he becomes eligible).

Eli is fourth Louisiana-bred (this horse racing site) Super Bowl winning QB -- joining his brother, Peyton, and Doug Williams, and Bradshaw. That is amazing fact for state with 4.2 million residents.

eh, he's lucky that Rod knee Harrison muffed a game ending interception
and there were a couple non-calls that helped also. That and keeping the Pats from recording their scrimmages.

I'm still wondering if the Rams are going to get their 2002 Superbowl rings now that it was proven the Patriots cheated

That's ridiculous, as ridiculous as some comparing his playoff run and SB performance to that of Trent Dilfer's in 2000.

Even more ridiculous are the comments earlier in this thread. I particularly like the "worst 10-5 team in NFL history" one.
