bmusselman 0 Posted November 8, 2006 I am 7-2 tied for first with 2 other guys, playing one of them this weekend. Do i go with Rex vs Giants beat up defense, or Eli vs Bears D? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slpbaseb12 0 Posted November 8, 2006 I don't care what Miami did, I would have trouble starting Peyton against the Bears, let alone his slow brother Eli. I'd go with Rex. Their D line is F#cked up, Rex should have some time to heave that ball up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stanley 0 Posted November 8, 2006 This is probably one of the tougher questions I tried to answer lately. My gut feeling says to start E. Manning over R Grossman. I know the bear def is really good,but I still think Eli will have a good game. Also did the bears lose Mike Brown to injury a few weeks ago? Hope this helps u out . Thanks for answering my question . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nosferatu9368 0 Posted November 8, 2006 I'd go with Rex. With Strahan & Osi out Rex will have time to throw. Good Luck Peace... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for answering my question . Hard call. Eli was not so great without Burress. Normally I would say Eli. I would go with Rex b/c I think Chicago's defense will show up big. Also, the Giants were only able to sack Carr once last week and Houston's O-Line is terrible. The injuries for the Giants D-Line are looking daunting to their future play Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mkuz 0 Posted November 8, 2006 i like eli, rex's mistakes in recent week mean lots of handing off to tj and cb this week in a low scoring affair. i feel eli has a better chance at a TD or 2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sbas2k 0 Posted November 8, 2006 This is a tough call. Rex hasn't played really well 2 out of the last 3 games but seems to have the easier def. to face. Eli has played solidly overall except for that last game without Plaxico. I say if Plaxico plays, play Eli. Otherwise go with Rex. Please help w/ mine. http://www.fftodayforums.com/forum/index.p...howtopic=251771 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree. Grossman is in a funk and w/o Berrian will continue. see mine http://www.fftodayforums.com/forum/index.p...howtopic=251764 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

drewmarquis 0 Posted November 8, 2006 i like eli and i'm starting him in my league with philip rivers as my back-up... the bears D will be good but i think eli will be more effective now that plaxico is back than grossman will be please look at mine: http://www.fftodayforums.com/forum/index.p...howtopic=251804 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vjjjc 0 Posted November 8, 2006 Eli all the way... Rex is exposed.... not that Eli will be huge but I can see 200 yards and 3 ints for Grossman. mine http://www.fftodayforums.com/forum/index.p...howtopic=251800 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
justrelaxing 3 Posted November 8, 2006 Go with Eli. Grossmans #1 guy is out.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RedzoneMonster 107 Posted November 8, 2006 Agreed - If Berrian is out you HAVE to go Eli. Still not a great option, but better than Rex. Look what happened last week w/o Berrian. Also, in the AZ game the Cards D toof Berrian out of the game and look what happened... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wiserman20 0 Posted November 9, 2006 Bottom line is this... Eli is a manning and has PLAYED in big games... he will be fine even against the Bears. I don't care about the NYG defense to be honest... Rex was absolutely horrible against AZ and Miami! So he pounded San Fran whoooo.... Its a big game and Rex hasn't seen one in a long long time since his days at FL... put him in the lime light ahem MNF and he folds. Im benching Rex this week for Brees and Brees is against Pitt... Start Eli Please see mine http://www.fftodayforums.com/forum/index.p...howtopic=251901 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zeusjackson 0 Posted November 10, 2006 Play rex. Think Dilfer in his superbowl year abut with better rec core options Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wild_and_crazy_guy 5 Posted November 10, 2006 Start Rex. Eli's WR's are all banged up. This is from someone who hates Rex! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chazzman 0 Posted November 10, 2006 Wow, that is a tough one. I have to go Eli here. I hate him, but i have more faith in him than Grossman. Mine http://www.fftodayforums.com/forum/index.p...howtopic=252450 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
