Much is made out of how Eli did not have that great a year until the Patriot game and the ensuing playoffs. What many do not realize is that the receivers started catching the ball as of the Patriot game and thereafter. The Giants led the league in drops. What is a quarterback to do. The second factor is that Plaxico had never really practiced with the whole team and this was definitely a deficiency. Then Steve Smith got healthy. So now Eli has Plaxico, Smith, Toomer and Boss with Tyree in reserve. And they are starting to hold on to the ball. Of course, you can't say enough for the contribution of the emerging Bradshaw along with the solid Jacobs. So Eli and the defense was always there. The rest of the offense had to catch up.
