New York Giants Are Playoff Bound: Reason 1

There are 10 reasons that the New York Giants could go to the playoffs in 2015. For the next 10 days we are going to go over every single reason the Giants should be playoff bound this year. Today we start under center with quarterback Eli Manning.

Manning is the first and most important reason the Giants have a chance at Super Bowl glory. There’s no doubt that Manning is the Giants most important player. The two-time Super Bowl MVP looks to be unstoppable the season.

In his first season in Ben McAdoo’s West Coast offense, Manning threw for over 4000 yards and 30 touchdown passes. With a firmer grasp on the offense Manning will be sharper than ever.

Manning loves the system that he is in. It fits him like a glove. The quick striking offense has brought new life to Manning’s game. Now he is primed for the best season of his career.

The best statistical season of his career to date was the 2011 campaign when he led the Giants to the Super Bowl championship. He threw for 4,933 yards and 29 touchdown passes, and completed 61 percent of his passes. This season Manning could finally reach the rare achievement of 5,000 yards passing.

With plenty of weapons around Manning, he will be able to spread the ball around all over the field. Defenses will not be able to just take away Odell Beckham Jr. and expect to stifle this offense. Manning will get all of his wonderful weapons involved in the passing game.

If you want to go to the playoffs you need a franchise quarterback that can take you there. The Giants have that all important quarterback position squared away. Because of that they have a chance at postseason play in 2015.
