Eli Manning attributed a large portion of the Giants' disappointing 2012 season on offense to having Hakeem Nicks at significantly less than 100 percent.
"I think not having Hakeem 100 percent for most of the season, really the last 10 weeks, can hurt," Eli said. "And he’s out there playing hurt, and you love that toughness about it, that he wants to be out there. But it just made it tough when you’re starting a receiver who’s gotta win one-on-one matchups and your deep threat and your playmaker all of a sudden kinda isn’t making the deep plays and the big plays. It can be tough to adjust to that. And I think just our timing was off." Jan 4 - 1:10 PM

Eli Manning - QB - Giants

Eli Manning completed 13-of-21 passes for 208 yards with five touchdowns and no interceptions in the Giants' 42-7 Week 17 win over the Eagles.

Too little, too late for both Eli's fantasy owners and the Giants' playoff hopes. Hampered by a wicked midseason slump and a season-long injury to Hakeem Nicks, Manning managed just 3,948 passing yards and 26 touchdowns. Seven of those scores came in two games against the Eagles' atrocious secondary. It's the first time he's finished under 4,000 yards or 27 touchdowns since 2008. With a plentiful assortment of more explosive and consistent quarterbacks in the league right now, Manning will be a clear-cut QB2 in 2013 fantasy circles.

Eli Manning - QB - Giants

Eli Manning completed just 14-of-28 passes for 150 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions in the Giants' Week 16 loss to the Ravens.

For the second straight week, Manning looked nothing short of inept. The offensive line couldn't protect him, he threw some ducks and his lone touchdowns didn't come until the Giants were down 33-7. Over the last two weeks, Manning has totaled 311 yards and one touchdown. The Giants are virtually eliminated from the playoff chase heading into a regular season finale against the Eagles.

Eli Manning completed 13-of-25 passes for 161 yards and two interceptions at Atlanta in Week 15.

Credit Falcons DC Mike Nolan with another excellent game plan. Manning was under duress all afternoon, unable to get any good looks down the field. When he wasn't settling for dumpoffs, Manning put his team behind the eight-ball with a pair of early-game interceptions. It's the first time in Eli's regular-season career that he's been shut out. He has another tough matchup at Baltimore in Week 16.

Eli Manning - QB - Giants

Eli Manning completed 22-of-35 passes for 259 yards, four touchdowns and two interceptions in New York's 52-27 Week 14 rout of the Saints.

Manning got the scoring started by tossing a pick-six on New York's second drive, but settled down to post his second three-score effort in three games since the Giants' bye week. Manning still isn't playing crisp football, as he missed a few easy throws, and made terrible decisions on both of his interceptions. He benefitted immensely from the Saints' own sloppy play. However, Manning's velocity wasn't an issue, while he fit some excellent throws into tight coverage. Manning has a huge test coming up in Week 15, where the G-Men will travel to Atlanta.

Eli Manning - QB - Giants

Eli Manning completed 20-of-33 passes for 280 yards, one touchdown, and no interceptions in the Giants' Week 13, 17-16 loss to the Redskins on Monday night.

Manning and the New York receivers had plenty of opportunities for big plays, but they just couldn't quite hook up for the large chunks of yards. Penalties also hurt the team's chances. The no interceptions was certainly a positive sign, and after dealing with a "tired arm" prior to the Week 11 bye, Manning's gun had plenty of bullets. After 12 games, Manning is on pace to complete 60.7 percent of his passes for 4,226 yards and a 21:14 touchdown-to-interception ratio. Eli and the 7-5 Giants host the Saints in Week 14.

Eli Manning - QB - Giants

Eli Manning admits he was dealing with a tired arm before the Giants' Week 11 bye.

"I never felt like it in the last weeks. But after a week off and coming back to practice it felt good. It felt live," Manning said. "The ball seemed to be coming out with a little extra pop on it (in Sunday's win). ... It definitely needed a little rest." Manning completed just 16-of-30 passes against the Packers, but his ball did have noticeably more zip. He threw for his first touchdown since Week 7, and had his first multi-score night since Week 5. He passed Phil Simms for the most touchdown passes in Giants history in the process. We'll find out how "back" Manning truly is when he takes on the Redskins' bottom-feeding secondary in Week 13.

Eli Manning - QB - Giants

Eli Manning completed 16-of-30 passes for 249 yards and three touchdowns in New York's 38-10 Week 12 win over the Packers.

Manning wasn't necessarily "back," but he did have his best night in over a month. The touchdowns were his first since Week 7, while the multi-score night was his first since Week 5. However, he was the beneficiary of often generous field position, and still misfired on a number of throws, including a pair of potential touchdowns. That being said, his "zip" did appear much improved, while his mistakes were neither as numerous nor crippling as they were in Weeks 6-10. Manning's yardage total would have been much higher had a big lead not enabled the G-Men to take the air out of the ball in the second half. He can be trusted as a low-end QB1 for the stretch run in fantasy leagues. Eli and the Giants get the Redskins' burnable secondary in Week 13.

Eli Manning says he's got more "pop" in his throwing arm coming off the Giants' bye week.

"I think it definitely had a little bit more pop to it (Monday)," Manning said. "That’s something, you take a week off and you definitely get a little bit more fire. It was coming out good." Manning insists a tired arm wasn't behind the paltry 212.4 yards he averaged between Weeks 6-10, but his words continue to tacitly admit otherwise. We expect a rested Eli to look much sharper against the Packers' bottom-12 pass defense this Sunday.

Eli Manning - QB - Giants

Eli Manning will rest his arm until next Monday during the Giants' Week 11 bye.

Although the Giants and Eli have denied publicly that he's battling a "tired arm," actions tend to speak louder than words. Manning won't throw any passes or look at any film for the next week as he attempts to nurse his arm back into early-season form. Manning has now struggled in four straight games. We suspect he'll snap out of the funk soon, but there are no guarantees.

Eli Manning - QB - Giants

Following Sunday's loss to the Bengals, Eli Manning insisted he doesn't have a "tired arm."

Respected analysts such as Greg Cosell and Ron Jaworski have suggested that Manning's arm isn't where it should be. Those suggestions gained more steam Sunday as Eli failed to throw a touchdown pass for the third straight game and managed 215 passing yards or less for the fourth time in five games. "If my arm were tired, I would tell the coaches, and we would shut down some throws or throw a little bit less," he said. "I feel like when I'm making throws, the ball is coming out well, so I don't see anything into it." Regardless, the bye week should do wonders for Manning.

Eli Manning - QB - Giants

Eli Manning completed 29-of-46 passes for 215 yards, zero touchdowns and two interceptions in New York's Week 10 loss to the Bengals.

Manning also lost a fumble in his third straight miserable performance. Manning is simply making bad decisions, and even worse throws. His zip remained noticeably lacking this afternoon. Both interceptions were dunderheaded decisions unbecoming of a two-time Super Bowl champion. Manning was hurt by a brutal Victor Cruz drop on a would-be 38-yard touchdown, but bad luck had little to do with his awful game. Averaging just 212.4 yards while posting a 2:6 TD:INT ratio over his past five starts, Manning now has the Giants' bye week to sort out whatever's ailing his usually stout game.

Eli Manning - QB - Giants

According to NFL Films' Greg Cosell, Eli Manning's struggles the past 2-3 weeks are due to a "tired arm."

Cosell said colleague Ron Jaworski first noticed the arm fatigue on game tape. They then got it confirmed with someone in the know. "I looked at Eli on Monday; Jaws looked at Eli on Wednesday," Cosell said. "And he made a very interesting comment. It really struck me ... It looks to him like Eli’s arm is a little tired. And that he’s not driving the ball at the intermediate and deeper levels the way we’ve come to expect. Because Eli has a strong arm. And we even got that sort of confirmed by someone who’s a lot closer to the situation. His arm’s a little bit tired right now. He’s missed some throws that he would normally make." Manning has struggled in each of his last three games, and in the last two completed just 25-of-54 passes (46.3 percent) for 317 yards (5.87 YPA), no touchdowns, and two interceptions. The Giants head to Cincinnati on Sunday.

Eli Manning resists the notion that he's in a slump.

"No, I don't think that's the case," Manning said. Manning has topped 200 yards passing just once in his past four starts. "I'm throwing the ball accurately when I have opportunities to. It’s just trying to find guys open and trying to just get in good situations." Manning can say what he wants, but he's been noticeably less accurate over the past month, and threw some terrible balls in Sunday's loss. The Giants will travel to Cincinnati this weekend before getting a much needed bye in Week 11.

Eli Manning - QB - Giants

Eli Manning struggled for the third straight week in New York's Week 9 loss to the Steelers, completing just 10-of-24 passes for 125 yards, zero touchdowns and an interception.

Manning's 125 yards were his fewest since December 7, 2008. Manning was wobbly from the get-go, missing Hakeem Nicks on a potential deep touchdown on New York's first play from scrimmage. His interception was a badly under-thrown duck to Ike Taylor in the first quarter. If not for 87 yards gained via Steelers' pass interference penalties, Manning's day would have been an even bigger disappointment. He's now been held under 200 yards passing in three of his past four starts, and simply hasn't been crisp. He'll get the Bengals in Week 10 before a badly needed bye in Week 11.
