<p>Yes, they just married this summer (June IIRC).</p>
<p>I can’t decide who I want to win/lose this game. Can they both lose? I want the Washington team to be bad because we play them next but I do like Cousins. I don’t like Eli, so I wouldn’t mind him losing and getting sacked a few times. So hard to decide!</p>
<p>Have them both tie after the end of overtime. Piece of cake end of story 
. But I’d want Washington to win because I want Kirk Cousins to establish himself as a viable starting quarterback, not just a back-up or one hit wonder.</p>
<p>He’s good but has no protection.</p>
<p>All their great receivers have no time to get down field 'cause Polumbus (sp?) can’t hold the line</p>
<p>Cliff Avril will eat him alive</p>
<p>The Washington defense is really really soft tonight.</p>
<p>THis game is really painful to watch.</p>
<p>good news for Redskins fans: we get to draft someone with our first round draft pick this year.</p>
<p>good news #2: right now it looks like our draft pick will be in the top 5.</p>

<p>Why don’t you like Eli?</p>
<p>For no particularly rational reason I guess. Part of it is probably underdog syndrome . . . I get tired of the Manning hype and camera pans to the VIP box to see how Archie etc. are responding to whatever is happening on the field with either brother. I like Brees and Rodgers so it isn’t just disliking a rival. Announcers just seem to go gaga over the Mannings so if your team is playing one of them and your QB and DL are getting no respect it’s kind of gratifying to see them go down or get picked.</p>
<p>Peyton has a little righteousness in his approach to things, but Eli seems to be the genuine aw shucks guy to me. </p>
<p>The Giants have looked decent in the last two games. Its hard to believe that its the same team that fumbled around the pre-season and lost the first two.</p>
<p>I thought Cousins showed some promise, but it looks like he needs a little more NFL game experience, and some lessons about not trying to make too much happen all at once. </p>
<p>I like both of the Mannings. You have to respect their talent, and I think Peyton is just funny as hell.</p>
<p>I love both Mannings. Nice to see Eli succeeding when some were writing him off. I’m from Louisiana so the Mannings just feel like extended family!! I love their commercials - they just seem so likable!</p>
<p>I have this picture in my head of the Manning family dinner where Peyton is the better QB but Eli flashes his two rings. </p>
<p>As a Giants fan, I was prepared to have the season go forward without Sundays being must watch TV, but after last night, oh wow!</p>
<p>My poor son, also a big Giants fan, had Cousins on his fantasy team. </p>
<p>Eli always looks so clueless, and my son told me there’s this: manningface.com</p>
<p>At the post-game interview, the panel admitted to Eli that nobody had picked the Giants, and Eli said that’s the way we like it. They’re always selling him short, but he insists he’s a better basketball player than Peyton. </p>
<p>See! This is what I’m talking about . . . everyone always falling all over themselves over the Mannings. :)) </p>

<p>Bob Stoops (coach of OU Sooners) has been so successful…but to me, he often looks confused. Of course, he isn’t, but it gives me a giggle now and then.</p>
<p>At least with my irrational dislike for Jay Cutler I’ll probably get a few people to agree with me.</p>
<p>@ saintfan-
There was a great tweet on the FauxMadden feed, the opposing team was flagged for roughing the passer against Cutler, and the line was “How can they throw a roughing the passer flag, when there is no evidence that Jay Cutler is a quarterback?”…<em>lol</em>. A lot of people don’t like Cutler, the guy is talented, has a gun for an arm, but always seems either befuddled or at times, just doesn’t care…my take on him is he has had the potential to be a great QB, but just is missing something essential…</p>
<p>With Eli I think a lot of it is that he has the Manning name, and that people expect him to play at the level his brother did/does, and when he doesn’t, bashes him. There are legitimate reasons to criticize him, at times his play calling is questionable, but he also has suffered from bad personnel, too (as an outsider, not as Giants fan, their GM is really, really sketchy…for every Victor Cruz, they have picked up a lot of losers, he is the one fans should be pissed at), a lot of Eli’s interceptions in prior years were receivers not handling the pass, and last year, it was an O line that completely sucked. </p>
<p>Where Eli beats his brother is that Eli is much better at comebacks, at handling being the underdog and taking it the whole way, that is a talent I don’t think Peyton is as good at (on the other hand, Peyton also has had to deal with something Eli didn’t, for much of his career, he had the whole team on his shoulders, the colts were not exactly that talented a team, their D and O with some exceptions were pretty run of the mill…Eli has had some great players around him that really helped). </p>
<p>I think some of the dislike is that Eli is not as intense as Peyton, and people mistake that for not caring or being too laid back, not caring, etc. I am not sure Eli is an elite QB, superbowls or not, but then again, neither was Phil Simms, and he won 2 as well, but then again, being a long suffering Jets fan with people like Pennington, Sanchez and now Geno Smith, I would take Eli in a heartbeat, flaws and all. </p>
<p>I think that Jay Cutler suffers from the male version of “Bitchy Resting Face” :-w </p>
<p>With Eli I don’t actually care how he plays (except, of course, when it’s against my team). Just the whole bow down to Archie’s spawn thing galls me. It was funny when the in a post game wrap up the guy said that you know your D line is bad when Eli is rushing for a touchdown on you. Actually, as a guy I find him way more personable that Peyton.</p>
<p>Yeah, Eli running is funny, as they said on twitter “He just ran the 2 yard dash in 15 seconds”</p>
