On WIIP today Ray Didinger was on discussing the Eagles in general. They asked the question, while watching film are defenses playing the Eagles offense differently this year? They then played a quote of Chip Kelly denying they are seeing anything different this year. Didingers response was that the Eagles have see a safety in the box every game this year except for one. The one of course was against the Giants. He went on to say he's not sure what Perry Fewell was thinking.
I found it interesting that the Giants would not do what other teams have done to make the Eagles' offense struggle this year. It is even more alarming that they didn't switch to eight men in the box when the initial game plan wasn't working. I didn't like what I heard.
Meanwhile, look how thoroughly kelly's staff was able to neutralize us. Pathetic imo.
If Fewell was trying something "different" against the Eagles it clearly didn't work and I now really question his judgment and style of defense.
So here is to hoping we put up our best these last nine games and walk away 5-4 at least for an overall 8-8 record. But if we tank, well tank bad so we can get a blue-chip safety prospect.
Yeah. He had like three DT's active or something.
Long pass Or on the third wideout?
Choose. Personnel is a factor whether you want to admit it or not.
Yeah, the Colts game...Peyton read the inactives list for that game and started salivating...we basically gave them our game plan...just like Coughlin does each week with his running the ball bullshit

I agree safety is weak on the the Giants this year. It is the worst it has been since 2009 but if the safety situation dictates that the Giants cannot play to stop the run on first or second down, then shame on the Giants for not bringing in another safety in free agency when it was apparent that Will Hill was going to be suspended.
I think the word stubborn comes to mind...
Both offense and defense were out coached and out played.
For a guy that hangs his hat on preparation something doesnt add up. They have killed us and we have propped them up
The state of the safeties is the same as the linebackers....it's easy to break the starting lineup of either position on this Giant team.....but we don't have backups who can....
For all the comments about Fewell, and he deserves them, because he did the same thing when he had the pieces, I have to give him some slack.....with DRC bad against the run when he is in there, with only Rolle, with only one marginal linebacker in McClain on this team, and only two DL worth anything at this time, I am amazed this defense has not given up more points than it has....

He beat Kelly last year
No, he beat Barkley last year....
The recent Philly game was a curious strategy, to put it kindly. But, to say last year's Giant's D only played well against backup QBs is not accurate.
