Eli Manning's playoff debut was a disaster on Sunday, as the Carolina Panthers stomped the New York Giants 23-0 out in the swamplands of Jersey. Eli threw three interceptions and fumbled once. Who the heck does Eli think he is, Brett Favre? But it would be unfair to put it all the blame on the former Rebel. Panthers coach John Fox outcoached Giants coach Tom Coughlin, the Giants' running game did nothing and the Giants defense ... did anybody see the Giants play defense? But remember, Eli fans, it always can be worse. Just ask Carson Palmer.
