So how do we match-up vs. Philadelphia?

SFGFNCGiantsFan : 9/19/2017 8:30 pm
Needless to say, this game is going to be a tough one since we seemingly always struggle against Philadelphia.

I haven't watched a lot of them this year, but I know their defense, especially their DL, is good. That's great since our offense is a juggernaut...

Wentz has impressed me from all I've seen. Jeffrey was obviously a big addition. Sproles is always a bitch.

For those who have seen them more, mind providing us a breakdown of this game? What are our odds? Should I buy tequila & whiskey?
Our D will have to wreck the game for their O  
BlueHurricane : 9/19/2017 8:33 pm : link
Because after watching their D the past two weeks they will definitely wreck the game for our O. I am worried Eli doesn't make it out of the game in one piece. Their D line and LB's can really get after the QB.

Tequila and whiskey may not be enough.
Seriously, Pray for Eli.

LOL. Yeah, might also just a keg & stick an IV into me of beer.

God, this season sucks.
We can make plays on their secondary  
Kyle in NY : 9/19/2017 8:55 pm : link
Same as we did last season. its not a strength for them. Problem is their strengths match up perfectly against our weakness, and can obviously neutralize the advantage we have in the passing game.

Part of me thinks this is the point where they rally together and make their stand. It'd be the logical place to do it. Sort of like Washington week 3 in 2007.

But it's been so hard for us to win in that place and I'm legit terrified for Eli's well being in this one. If they continue to put Flowers out there on an island it'll be a disaster. But there is an avenue if they scheme it up right and they get healthy on defense, they can pull it out. But admittedly it's a small chance.
I don't know,  
Rick5 : 9/19/2017 8:57 pm : link
but let's hope for at least one defensive score so they have an outside shot at breaking 14 points. Are we really living in 2017? For some reason it feels like 1976.
win the toss  
Dankbeerman : 9/19/2017 9:02 pm : link
take the ball and move down the field efficiantly score, get a stop, get the ball back score again. Try playing with a lead just see how it feels
i don't even want to watch  
annexOPR : 9/19/2017 9:08 pm : link
i considered philly the biggest threat in the division before the season ...

jack rabbit better suit up - at least he'll make it a closer loss

i honestly dont see how the Giants win - unless Odell has a career game
If you're the optimist  
WillVAB : 9/19/2017 9:10 pm : link
Then you're thinking Wentz is capable of some game changing turnovers and our defense should control their offense. Their secondary sucks, so maybe all it takes is hitting on a few big plays to Beckham and Engram for the win.

This. Wentz has been lucky rather than good.
They have a good defense, good enough to hold the Giants  
SterlingArcher : 9/19/2017 9:30 pm : link
to 10 to 13 points. The only salvation the Giants have is to play exceptional defense. With Jenkins back that should help.
...  
annexOPR : 9/19/2017 9:33 pm : link
you don't need to be a good defense to "hold" the Giants to 10-13 points
How do the Giants match?  
RetroJint : 9/19/2017 9:55 pm : link
Couldn't be worse . The only thing they have going for them is that it's a 1 o'clock start. 0-3. 0-2 in the division. 0-3 in the conference against three teams with bona fide playoff aspirations. They are down on the tie-breakers. With a trip to Tampa in the hole.

Yeah in those days we only won a game if Joe Danello kicked 4 FGs

Mike in NY : 9/19/2017 10:43 pm : link
Even the officials will need a whole case of Courvoisier (even though that is the preference of Referee Ladies' Man who will be at the game)
Ha  
blueblood'11 : 9/19/2017 10:48 pm : link
We may have a chance if the defense pitches a shutout. Even that might not be enough,
We don't match  
JohnF : 9/19/2017 10:51 pm : link
at all. This is going to be a bloodbath.

The Cowboy's secondary was supposed to be horrible, too, and we did squat against them. We can't run the ball, and can't keep out a 4 man rush. If we run the same offense we ran Monday, Eli may not make it out alive.

I think we should just go 2 TE, FB with Darkwa, and leave OBJ as the single WR on the outside, and run him deep every play. We can try to run out of that formation, and give our tackles some help. Any passes would be short to the TE's, but we should have a 70-30 run heavy ratio.

Not pretty, but at least we give Eli a shot of surviving this game.

We all are miserable off 2 weeks but if your serious that's a lot of coin to put - they aren't exactly the greatest show on turf. G men have a great defense & will keep this game close. Unless you see the eagles forcing 3-4 turnovers I don't see the blowout others have already penciled in.

giants don't match up well with them at this time

this could be real ugly if it could possibility get any more than is now

fast d vs this ol...yikes

I will be working, so I will thankfully miss the game  
Fishmanjim57 : 9/20/2017 7:12 am : link
The lousy way the Giants have played so far, and the fact that Philadelphia has owned the Giants over the past several seasons, this game will be a complete disaster.
Philadelphia will probably score somewhere in the 40's, while the Giants might be able to achieve a few field goals.
I'm worried that Eli may have a season ending (perhaps career ending) injury during this game.
another game like Detroit  
family progtitioner : 9/20/2017 7:20 am : link
D plays well but the offense puts them in horrible positions. 20-13 Eagles. Game set match on season
My initial guess?  
The_Boss : 9/20/2017 7:27 am : link
Something to the tune of

Eagles 24
Giants 0
(yes we get shut out)


Shortly thereafter we start reading anonymous NYG defenders saying stuff like "We're doing our job, what about the other guys?"

THEN it gets ugly.

While the offense is the problem, can't really call the defense "great" at this point, very good yes.
We are going to lose

They can get to the QB. It's going to be brutal.
I hate the Philthy Birds  
trueblueinpw : 9/20/2017 8:03 am : link
I watched the Iggles in Arrowhead last week where Wentz and company took a terrific Chiefs team all the way to the last play of the game. It was a whale of a football game with the Iggles making plays in all phases of the game in one of the hardest places to play in the NFL against a very well coached team that had just dismantled the Pats. I honestly don't see any way the Giants beat Philly. I'm very worried about Eli getting killed by the Philly D line. Nightmare match up for Giants. Nightmare.
Giants should do 2 things  
I Love Clams Casino : 9/20/2017 8:25 am : link
NUMBER 1 -

Practice this week, full on with no O guards or O tackles...just Richburg, the backs and receivers....and have our defense come at them full tilt. All week, all day every day, and sadly I am not even kidding...

NUMBER 2 -

Study what KC did against the Eagles, play for play, and try as much as possible to emulate their game plan...

Do these 2 things and the Giants lose anyway. Not like whatever McAdoo has up his sleeve will work anyway -

F-uck this -

The_Boss has been the biggest Eagles fan on this site for years. He was a bit quieter last season but he's clearly taken his McNabb jersey out of the moth balls for this season again. He always denies it, but he has a serious infatuation with the Eagles.

KC's line looked horrible against the Eagles....Eagles were crashing through play after play, although I will give you that we have no Hunt.

Yup just look at any thread with Eagles in the title and he will be sure to be one of the first posts. Most of the times it's to say how bad the Giants are.

Their front 7 is fast and talented - they're going to give us fits.

I expect more of the same on Sunday. Things are about to get real ugly.
Their front seven has dominated our offensive line for a long time.

I don't expect that to change this weekend. In fact, I expect Eli to get killed.
