At what point did you KNOW we were going to win?

PA Aggie : 11/16/2020 7:45 am
The Giants finally broke an embarrassing streak. The last ten years against them have been horrible, but maybe yesterday's victory will be the start of a trend in the other direction. Plus a catalyst for the rest of this season. Needless to say, the confidence level in us fans was pretty low.

At what point in the game, did you finally say, "YES, we got this?" with 100% confidence.

Was it the field goal that put us up 10?
Was it the failure of the eagles on 4th and 16?
Was it 0.00 on the clock and no yellow flag on the field?
Was it when they were in the locker room....or driving home?
Or this morning, that you really weren't dreaming?

Great win, week off to feel good.
Go Big Blue!

those two big passes by Jones to set up the TD were great

The refs signalled game over. Being a Giant fan too long ..... especially when playing Philly. I was expecting a Buffalo Arizona finish.

and I cheated and checked Twitter and saw Eli say "Stacking Wins." I had to DVR the game and was behind and there was no one I was going to put myself through another epic collapse. I was honestly only about 50/50 thinking we would win when I checked.
Same..

here with the Gano FG. Three minutes and change, no timeouts. Even the Eagles curse couldn't break that!
Not until the Daniel Jones started taking knees

I waited until 5 minutes after the final whistle.

It just felt different. The magic BS is over. This Eagles team doesn't have it anymore, and will not look forward to facing the Giants anytime soon.

3rd quarter I believe. I knew it had to be a sign from the Gods (pick one).

This...its the Eagles. They always seem to be able to pull a rabbit out of a hat against us. That freaking punt return will forever be engrained in my brain.

I did feel pretty good after we hit the FG late to make it a two score game.
I knew we were going to win  
jvm52106 : 11/16/2020 8:36 am : link
when Philly drove into our territory but the defense rose and forced the turn over on downs. Right then I knew this was our game.

This team is different. We are not the most talented but, we are so much more disciplined than in years past. We play together and play hard.

The Giants can make some noise here in the second half of the year. We have played the Steelers, the Rams and the Bucs tough and close. The on e"blowout" was more a collapse after so many should have's earlier in the game and followed the week we lost our best weapon.

This team has found an identity. Our QB is showing he has the mental toughness for the job and is getting better each week. We have no real outside threats and yet we are scheming our offensive success. The development of the Oline is huge and will continue us forward.

After we stopped them on 4th & long.

Until then, I thought the Eagles would somehow pull it off because they always seemingly do versus us.
I *THOUGHT*  
GiantsRage2007 : 11/16/2020 9:06 am : link
It was when Jones ran in for the td, until they called it back on the hold on Thomas... and I thought... here we go again... I was then holding my breath until the clock hit 0.0
After Gano's FG...  
Johnny5 : 11/16/2020 9:08 am : link
... to put us up by 10 with just over 3 minutes, I started to finally feel like we had a chance to pull it out... lol

This, plus exhaling after there was no flag.

Not there was a penalty, but you know, NFL officials and all....

This. I have waiting for this moment for years. We have continually come up small in spots where our team desperately needed to answer a shot across our bow from our opponent. Jones came up big. It had to be him. We needed the QB to inspire. Jones delivered.

Yeah. Remember the "OMG spectacular" OBJ catch from 2014? Everyone going wild and what does Dallas do on the ensuing possession? They marched right up the field without skipping a beat or breaking a sweat. Bang. Dallas answers and sucks the air out of the stadium.

Nice to see the Giants answer the call, for once.
I'd love to give an answer like the touchdown to make it 21-11  
Matt M. : 11/16/2020 10:38 am : link
But, the reality is this team has given many more reasons to doubt them than not. I didn't "know" we were going to win until the second defensive stop in the 4th after our FG made it 27-17. Until that stop, I was expecting a quick strike, a recovered onside kick, and some bonehead play like the one that cost WFT their game against Detroit this wekend.
giants win  
bobc : 11/16/2020 2:09 pm : link
We are talking Giants and Eagles here, i have seen 2 miracle finishes before. I knew we were going to win when the final gun went off.
When Gano's FG that looked like it would miss  
montanagiant : 11/16/2020 2:38 pm : link
Curved back in.

The Football Gods said "Not today"!
24 is the magic number for this team.  
eclipz928 : 11/16/2020 4:18 pm : link
If the offense can score 24 points in a game the defense is good enough to beat most teams.

The Dallas game was a bit of an aberration because that team was averaging an astounding 33 pts per game when they had Dak.
Yeah, Gano's FG to go up  
section125 : 11/16/2020 4:23 pm : link
27-17. Still some ingrained trepidation, but I did not think with 3 minutes, no timeouts and two score game that they could eff it up.
