to continue to employ my viewing strategy that has done me well this year.
I’m going to try to relax and enjoy the game, I hope it’s a good game, I hope they win, if they don’t win I’m not going to be angry. I’ll be disappointed, and I’ll be able to fall asleep right away

Considering that this game is going to end somewhere around midnight. It would be best to wait as long as possible and pace yourself. This is what my friend told me..
Potentially one of the most enjoyable games ever!  
George from PA : 1/21/2023 8:55 am : link
As the Giants shouldn't be here....as the Eagles were going for it.

Not one Eagle fan truly believes they will lose.....they all wanted the Giants.

Taking them down.....will be so sweet!

Let's do it!

12 more hours of day dreaming  
Giantimistic : 1/21/2023 9:04 am : link
The great thing is enjoying not having to live in reality until we do. As long as the Giants are alive, I get to plan all the ways in which they are winning the super bowl.

It is fun to think it through or know that any thing is possible with beating the Eagles.

Anything is possible until it isn’t. I would love to be gifted with another week of day dreaming and a week of Giant focused articles and coverage.

So right now the Giants are on an amazing run to the Super Bowl. I will deal with reality when I have to.
Let the Jalen Hurts shoulder watch begin  
RCPhoenix : 1/21/2023 9:06 am : link
To me that’s by far the most important factor
Wink clearly saw something last game  
Giantimistic : 1/21/2023 9:22 am : link
As our 2nd and 3rd stringers were harassing Hirts and getting free runs at him all game.

Partly, their offense was different with decreased read option runs by Hurts, but Wink was on to something.

We know wink doesn’t usually do the same thing twice and the Eagles will fix what was allowing the pressure.

However,

I wonder if Wink found a weakness last game that he can exploit even more with his first team. I would love to see, of course, one of those 7 plus sack games.
I’m way too fired up for 9am

I truly hope we pull this out in the fourth quarter. Either way, I’m really excited about the future of this team now.

We have to be the more physical team to have a chance today!

Go GMen!

Excellent plan
Once Giants WIN their first playoff game . . .  
3000_MilesToMeadowlands : 1/21/2023 10:09 am : link
Every year except 1993, they have either won the Super Bowl or lost to the eventual Super Bowl Champions.
1981 - 49ers
1984 - 49ers
1985 - Bears
2000 - Ravens

Philly would have hands full with (mostly likely SF) and then AFC Champion. I'm feeling good about this, the Glenlivet will start flowing at 4:30.

Yeah. Don't like this ref for the game. He had no problem extending drives for the Eagles with fouls on DBs in December.

Yes, we know we shouldn't be here. We're way ahead of schedule on JS's re-build, DJ's resurrection (TT was going to beat him out). But, as JOrthman and Paysadaddy expressed on the Pat Kirwan thread, game emotions take a huge toll. For me any 'house money' cushion fades to black real quick, goes out the window once the game starts, the juices are flowing, emotions take over and we bend, break, or soar with each play.

I am going to try to remain objective given the set-up here, 6th seed at the way more talented and heavily favored #1 seed, but I know it will be futile. I will try to use the game as a better measuring stick than the first two vs Philly of where we stand, realistically, but, dang....LGG

I be very disappointed if he does not already know what needs more addressing. We still had a LOS issue against division opponents. It was clear as day. Close on the D side but Neal needs to advance and they need more IOL help.

agree, and I'd add we need at least one additional quality ER (don't trust Ojulari to be on the field and he gets washed out too much) and at least one additional quality interior DL, Dex and Leo (if he stays) can't handle the workload Wink has been forced to lay on them.

Then, there's ILB, DBs, WRs, TE, the list is endless

That's what you have here tonight, boys. That's what you've earned here tonight. One game; if we played them ten times, they might win nine. But not this game, not tonight. Tonight, we run with them. Tonight we tackle with them, and we shut them down because we can. Tonight, we are the greatest football team in the world. You were born to be football players -- every one of you, and you were meant to be here tonight. This is your time. Their time is done. It's over. I'm sick and tired of hearing about what a great football team the Eagles have. Screw 'em. This is your time. Now go out there and take it!

Ryan Dunleavy @rydunleavy

I'll throw the cold water. As much as I loved matchup vs. #Vikings for #nyg, I hate this matchup. Eagles have psychological advantage of owning the rivalry, big talent advantage. Really, the only thing that matters is whether Jalen Hurts is healthy enough to run/throw bombs.

#Giants formula for an upset is this: Get a lead, keep the game close, pound Saquon Barkley for 20-25 carries (25-30 touches). That will tire out pass-rushing DL. So will DJ bootlegs. I don't see this as a big game for DJ zone-read runs. Philly too smart schematically.

#Giants also usually have a significant coaching advantage at head coach and all coordinators. Don't see that as the case vs. #Eagles. Pretty much a wash. If I'm a fan, I'm not nervous. Nothing to lose. Even with blowout loss, a great yearby Gmen. Confidence headed into offseason

Ryan Dunleavy @rydunleavy

I'll throw the cold water. As much as I loved matchup vs. #Vikings for #nyg, I hate this matchup. Eagles have psychological advantage of owning the rivalry, big talent advantage. Really, the only thing that matters is whether Jalen Hurts is healthy enough to run/throw bombs.

#Giants formula for an upset is this: Get a lead, keep the game close, pound Saquon Barkley for 20-25 carries (25-30 touches). That will tire out pass-rushing DL. So will DJ bootlegs. I don't see this as a big game for DJ zone-read runs. Philly too smart schematically.

#Giants also usually have a significant coaching advantage at head coach and all coordinators. Don't see that as the case vs. #Eagles. Pretty much a wash. If I'm a fan, I'm not nervous. Nothing to lose. Even with blowout loss, a great yearby Gmen. Confidence headed into offseason


While this Giants team is not as talented as the past two SB winning teams, history has shown us when it comes down to it you should never underestimate any Giants team in the playoffs. The psychological advantage point is BS imo. Giants are hot and they know they aren't supposed to win this game.

The Giants are 6-0 against 1 seeds since 1990.

The Eagles haven't played great football going on a month and half. Hurts has a banged up throwing shoulder and I disagree with Dunleavy, we have a better coaching staff.

This game will be won or lost at the line of scrimmage, if the Giants can establish a run game its going to go a long way.

My two questions -

1. Can the Giants pass rush even get to Jalen Hurts? ER's need to have a big day for us to win imo
2. Can the Giants beat the chains to keep 3rd down manageable, opening the playbook and limiting the Eagles pass rush.

Leg of Theismann : 1/21/2023 4:12 pm : link
This is the type of energy we need today, and I remember feeling exactly the same the week leading up to the game. I was happy just to get a 3rd shot at a division rival with the 1 seed. I did not expect the Giants to actually win the game. To date this was the greatest win of my entire Giants fandom life- fortunately a few weeks later this win was usurped by a slightly more important win lol

they win this. My heart says, if they can smack Jalen early, then it could be close.
I am hoping the DJ we have see the past 4 weeks is for real and shows up tonight. If he does, they will shock Pilthidelphia...

And yes, bourbon and ginger has started. Hope my boss does not intercede..

Go Giants!

care about how heavily Philly is favored, we can still find a way to win, just like in 07.

US1 Giants : 1/21/2023 4:48 pm : link
Is for Daniel Jones to play very well. A stinker tonight would be a terrible way to start the offseason. A great game by him would fill me with confidence for the future.

Screw that. The “not supposed to get this far” went out the window when they got this far…

Yea, actually I think any confidence you would gain would quickly disappear at the very next bad game or even play.
I would bet Jones does fine  
Spiciest Memelord : 1/21/2023 6:05 pm : link
We likely have seen in real time the game click for a QB.

Having said that he could also have a not spectacular statistical game like Eli vs Patriots and Niners in the playoffs.
