------As to Eli's inaccuracies please try reading or reading again the link to my previous message at the gIANTs board (link at bottom of this message). And sure its a team sports so in winning or losing is the responsibilities of how well the team gelled during practice / the season. (Please read link first then the following words) and remember sometimes a simple physical problem will blossom into a confidence problem thus cause even worse errors which is what i see occur to Eli every time the temperature begins to change to the point it effects his handling of the ball.

------Just to add a bit more, the hand shrinking IF THIS IS ONE OF THE REASONS ELI becomes less accurate will be more troublesome when the air temperature is changing from just before the game / locker and then through game time. IF it is cold BUT REMAINS the same temperature over several games then just when Eli comes out of the locker, being its warmer in there then hitting the field at the 1st and 3rd quarters we might see inaccurate throws at those times, then it depends on his confidence if he comes out of that duldrum. AGAIN it is based on how the bone structure of certain people changes 'cause of temperature changes. one of the reasons i did not want to post this publicly but went to the teams where the sports personality played was the following, that if this affect is proven then though far fetched as to change indoor temp would take two quarters yet the NFL has to make sure no indoor stadium changes the indoor temp during a game.

------If for whatever reason the link does not open the message posted ~ yr ago then here the following explanation:

Reads as silly to most but if tried DO NOT FORCE STRETCH as ligaments will then be damaged but slightly stretch hands ~fingers and the trick i created for myself as a junior-hs / hs baseball / football player was a glove with its finger tips connected to the thumb via rubber-band like strings so when i slide a ball into the glove between the rubber bands it maintained a slight stretching onto that hand.

------Again, so lets say the changing hand size is found to be a major problem yet though it began in the hand it can eventually end up affecting the mind / confidence. Sure its a team sport so other things where off sync chances are but it cannot hurt to try out this theory.

------Apparently the giants message board in being upgraded removed many of, including my message which i posted 2006 ~December as vis0, oh well maybe as weird as this may read a fan might pass this on to the giants it is only a game but thought i'd send this theory, as i have seen it happen and gone through it myself.
