If you look stricly at his numbers against, other than the Vikings game, Eli hasn't played very bad. His last 3 games he's only given up 13 catches on 24 targets (54%) for 104 yards (4.3ypc), 0 tds and 0 ints with 3 pass breakups. Quarterbak rating against of 65.3. He does have 3 penalties against him on the year, 2 in the last 2 games and he needs to clean up the missed tackles as well.
I think his previous history and his play in the Vikings game kind of cemented a mindset against him but his play in the last 3 games has been good. Other than the Vikings he's had a play or two against him but the previous conceptions have magnified them.
