I really don't know what to think. All I know is the Eagles offense is nothing like the last two teams the Giants for the most part just stoned. So why would anyone think this Eagles offense would present a problem.
This is the NFL and they say on any given Sunday or Thusrday. You know the Eagles would love nothing more then to put a crimp in the Giants push for the playoffs. I'm not so much worried about the defense. They will not and have not let games get away from them all year long and I don't see that as being the case.
The Eagles are going to go after the Giants offense with a vengeance and for once I am hoping the Giants score early and often and let the defense do their thing. I keep telling myself they gave up a total of 13 points not in one game but two combined against very potent offenses. And have not allowed a touchdown on something 19 or 20 consecutive opposing offenses drives. So what am I worried about.
I guess it's because it is a division game and no matter what the records say you know it will be a dogfight. So, how worried is anyone out there about this tilt on Thursday. The Giants have so much momentum I can't imagine the Eagles getting much done against a team that is flying so high especially on defense.
I know it's the Eagles but I don't fear this coach or QB.
I won't moan and groan about the Eagles and Skins since we have bigger fish to fry.
But you know... to me, the BIGGEST change this season, has been CONSISTENCY. By and large, this team has been VERY consistent.
You can kind of bet on it.
I'll give the Eagles the first TD against the Giants in a couple of weeks. Giant Defense holds them under 20.
Giants 23, Eagles 13.
Eli Manning: 22/33, 210 yds, 2 TD, 1 Int.
:D
In the first game this year, the defense was leaving guys wide open enough to stop, jump, and catch balls that Wentz was throwing. The pass coverage was awful after the first two drives. They cover like they did last time and people will be measuring Wentz for his yellow jacket after the game.
Plus you always get stuff like the last interception of the game in an Eagles game. They did the same thing vs. Baltimore where John Harbaugh said it was the worst call in history. He and Pete Carroll can debate that, but of course it was to the Eagles' benefit.
observer, well indeed!
It was just Coughlin for some reason who could not beat them--and even that only developed later in his tenure. Early on, if I recall, he did fine against them.
short week, as Eric had stated, divisional game this late in season..is absurd. That's a tall order in itself esp having a divisional opponent to play..on road (I know its only in philly..but still). Hopefully just get in and out of there with a W pretty or not.
