Lawrence Taylor thinks Eli Manning and the Giants need to seal their playoff fate this weekend against the Bills. "If the Buffalo Bills go into this game and say, 'We're gonna load up against the run, and we're gonna dare Eli to throw the football'," Taylor was saying yesterday by cellphone, "his mentality has gotta be: 'Guess what: I'm about to have me a field day.' That's what he should be thinking." It was that swagger, that bravado, that fearlessness, that fire, which made Bill Parcells' Giants rally around Simms. Tom Brady, Brett Favre, Tony Romo - Peyton Manning, of course - they all have it. They all exude it. And it spreads like wildfire through their huddles, through their teams. Eli doesn't have it. Eli needs to find it - fast. If LT were his teammate, you get the feeling he'd jack him up by his shoulder pads, hold him in the air, and growl something like, "Son, get your head out of your [bleep] and start leading us!" "I don't know Eli; I'm not on the field with him," LT said. "I can't tell you what goes on in the huddle just from what I see on the TV set. [But] when you got that look on your face, like a ball in high grass - lost."
