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!
#Giants pass rusher Azeez Ojulari (questionable, quad) is expected to play tonight vs. #Eagles, per source. Ojulari had 5.5 sacks in seven regular season games.
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
Irrespective of what happens today, it has been a great season and they're way ahead of schedule with respect to the rebuild. They're going in the right direction and are in great shape going forward.
I sm at a pit stop in cherry hill, waiting to leave
To arrive just when parking opens up at 3 pm. My eagles are ready to drag. I have a Hurts and Brown eagles to drag. I will try to grt on fox pregame in background if i can get close

Stay safe
I think Azeez was always going to play. The question has been how much
Pregame show , Kurt Warner is on Philly bandwagon. Untolerable. Has Giants losing by more than 8 , SB under 100 yards, DJ max 1 TD passing and about 200 passing yards. Very high on Hurts running today...

You the man, Rich_Houston_1971!
Someday I'll tell my children about you. Actually, I'll tell my son about you later today. Go Giants! Go Rich_Houston_1971! Don't get killed!
It really is bizarre. You would think he would be more butt hurt at the team he won a Superbowl with for dumping him for Bulger who quickly flamed out of the league rather than getting benched with a team he played 9 games for in favor of a future hall of famer.

Just let us know what hospital you end up in, so that we know where to send the flowers ;>)
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.
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 Giants @ Cowboys 2008 divisional round - ( New Window )
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..
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.

If you don't have confidence in him now then that is on you .
I arrived at tailgate T 3:30pm, i dragged the eagle

Yea, actually I think any confidence you would gain would quickly disappear at the very next bad game or even play.
Slightly paraphrased.

True Blue Intro - ( New Window )
It seems to me there is an underlying resentment towards the Giants by many of the talking heads I listen to:
Warner
Bradshaw
J. Johnson
Boomer
Are a few that come to mind. Maybe it s my bias
The Ggggggggggggmen!

The spread for Giants-Eagles is up to 8. Philly pretty big favorites. Money obviously coming in on their side.

Thanks for this link. Great to see all those great players gain, even if it was just for seconds.

Screw that. The “not supposed to get this far” went out the window when they got this far…
If you don't have confidence in him now then that is on you .
Lol I'll look for that. Did the Philly trash say nice things?
Yea, actually I think any confidence you would gain would quickly disappear at the very next bad game or even play.
Having said that he could also have a not spectacular statistical game like Eli vs Patriots and Niners in the playoffs.
