First half showed the team Gettleman envisioned -

Sean : 12/10/2019 1:01 pm
This isn’t a keep DG thread or fire DG thread (there are enough of those), just pointing out that I think you could see the vision DG had in the first half up 17-3.

-Leonard Williams made some plays stopping the run in addition to a few pressures.

-Wentz dealt with a good amount of pressure in the first half.

-Saquon wasn’t excellent, but he had a good amount of 4-5 yard runs on 1st down.

-Some explosive plays with Slayton.

I think Shurmur was completely undressed by Schwartz in the 2nd half, no proactive adjustments were made.

I’d fully expect Gettleman to reference the first half of the game yesterday at the end of the year when he pitches a Rivera hiring to ownership.

shurmur has been outcoached in the second half of games his entire time with the giants.....

he isnt a good head coach
The first half showed the Eagles to be a terrible team

that was asking for a beating the Giants were not capable of delivering. Nothing more.

the opponents to keep on blowing coverages and have all their skill position guys get hurt! A true recipe for success!

No coverages were blown. If you’re still miserable about this season at this point where you have to make up things to make things seem worse reevaluate life.
Sean - imo there were 2 takeaways from yesterday's game

1. the talent around the league is very flat - neither of those teams has great rosters, but even on a player by player level. I think they said the guy who replaced Miles Sanders (who has looked really good at times) was in his 1st game and he had some real juice. For us Slayton looked like a stud. the goal is obviously to build great rosters, not flat ones, but most teams are playing with similar talent and coaching is the difference. Dallas has very good talent but their coaching seems to always hold them back.

2. a lot of our young guys flashed. Ximines, Slayton, Love, Beal, and even Baker had a good game. Williams and Tomlinson are not real young guys but they had the type of game we'd expect for guys coming up on 2nd contract decisions.
I like our defensive front  
Kyle in NY : 12/10/2019 1:16 pm : link
If they continue to invest in depth of pass rushers (more Golden type signings) and are able to draft Chase Young, it has the makings of a pretty good group. Lawrence looks like a good player for the role he fills.

Most of the team is a complete mess but I at least think that's a solid group.

100% false. Go somewhere else with this bullshit.

Are you implying that the non-coverage of Ertz's OT TD was by design? Pretty clever on Bettcher's part.

The blown coverage you’re referring to is when Darby and the safety both tried to play sticks. It’s not a blown coverage as much as it is getting played by Eli. But whatever, I’ll go somewhere else with my bullshit

I agree. Williams, Lawrence, Tomlinson with Hill rotating in plus Golden and Young coming off the edges would be a start. Golden would be great as the 2nd best pass rusher. Need the CBs to improve and some big upgrades at ILB though.

Offensively, "just" need to find 3 good OL...

He's claiming the Eagles D didn't blow any coverages that resulted in the Giants 17 first half points.
I texted a fellow Giants fan at halftime  
bradshaw44 : 12/10/2019 1:37 pm : link
and said, "Now Pederson is going to go into the locker room, make adjustments and come out to Pat Shurmurs Giants who were in the locker room patting themselves on the back saying let's keep this same plan going, it's working. And the Eagles will come back and win the game."

Exactly what happened. And exactly why I went to bed when it was 17-10.

Great point, our fans seem to want All pros at every position but that's not the NFL. Who are the stars on the Bills, for example?
I have Stopped watching the games after 2nd half, since dallas  
George from PA : 12/10/2019 2:20 pm : link
Has kept me somewhat shane.

1st half dominated the Eagles
Don't Think Gettleman Envisioned Barkley  
clatterbuck : 12/10/2019 3:48 pm : link
being used exclusively as an inside runner. I'd venture he envisioned him as an elite offensive weapon and a game-breaker.
I don't think they were particularly special in the first half  
Ten Ton Hammer : 12/10/2019 3:58 pm : link
So I hope that's not what management envisioned. The Eagles played pretty horribly in ways the Giants had nothing to do with. Dropped passes and blown coverages left and right.

The first Slayton TD was as bad a missed tackle as anything we've seen the Giants DBs do this year. That's not great offense, it's 0 defensive effort
