Seems to be going to the wire...I personally believe Tom Coughlin already knows its Eli Manning, but wants to save face and make it look as if its still a competition....
It won't matter Journey....they open with us so they have no chance of winning.
As for the real answer to your question they should let Eli sit the first quarter against us because that's about how long it will take for Kurt to get hurt (which the Eagles would probably do to him with the blitz packages).
