Week 2 - Giants at Eagles GAME thread

[General_Failure]

Talk about feeling sick.. they GAVE the Gints that game with terrible play calling on BOTH sides of the ball in the 4th and OT. JJ has NO feel for the flow of the game, I swear.. He blitzes when he shouldn't and he doesn't when he should...then when he does, he shows his hand pre snap, then they all blitz up the middle, where its EASY to clog it up...unreal. And the Offense...pffft. We couldnt PAY this team to run the ball all these years, and now they wanna run right in to the beef of the GINTS line during critical posessions. WTF...u gash em outside all day, and then when u need to preserve the win, u run over center? We also saw why LJ will never be a great TE in this league...he comes up SMALL when he is needed most. I guess the ball hit him in the wrong place....the hands! While this staff has made the Eagles a successful team again, I also think they have blown their own chances, when it comes to winning a SB...it's this kind of bad play calling and Andy's lack of killer instinct that does it. I hope they learned a valuable lesson today...ALWAYS cut the head off the snake when u can, before he bites you!

On the flip side...Kudos to D-Mac and the O-line. They did their part, in spite of the bad play calling. Shout out to the 8 man D-line too....that was impressive until JJ pulled back the reigns. I also have serious issues with the officiating in this game. How in HELL can they replay that call, AFTER the next play was run? Simple...THEY CANNOT! Andy shoulda been on that field flipping out. Oh....and the freakin OBVIOUS two handed jersey grabbing from behind, by the Gints O-line...they got away with like 8 very obvious holding calls from BEHIND, that were in plain view when they were badly beaten...Nice Job officials...The Ref's ought to be taken out back and whipped, fined a game check, then shot in head. Gotta go vomit now! 

I can't read a word of that. English, damnit!

What the farg is with Mike Lewis?  He had a hand in 14 points for those fargers today.  The blown coverage on the 1st Toomer TD... and JUST FALL ON THE fargING BALL!!!!  YOU PIECE OF shtein!!!!

Andy should be shot for both of those 4th and 1 plays.  You farging tease us all preseason with Nick Cole as the lead blocker and you don't try it either time.  Same ol' shtein with the pass on 4th down, which all but gave it away the 2nd time we tried it.

Westbrook... you've gotta hold on to the mutherfarging ball when we're trying our tired ass version of killing the clock.  You shteinted on your whole performance with that one play.

Same with Trent Cole.  That stupid penalty shteinted all over a great performance today.

Stallworth and LJ... try holding onto the farging football.  Y'know, considering it's Overtime and all.  fargers.

On top of everything else... we lose Hood and Kearse... Kearse probably for the year.


What a farging day.

[The BIGSTUD]

I'm not as critical of them for not running as I'm hearing. While it would've been smart, we were getting NOTHING on the ground. Every run was a 1 yard or no gain. Once out of every 8 or so runs Westbrook would bust an 8 yarder. What I didn't like were the damn play calls in the passing game. LJ Smith had the best first half of any TE ever pretty much and he gets like 2 catches in the second half, one being a conservative screen.

It's funny. You figure you shut down Tiki and we win right?

[PhillyPhreak54]

This reeks of the loss in Tennessee to open 2002.

Mike Lewis not falling on the ball.
Getting 8 sacks on that bitch and STILL LOSING.
SHUTTING DOWN TIKI AND STILL LOSING.

They took thier foot off the gas and couldn't put it back. They had this team DEMORALIZED. FARG!

The Eagles thought they had this one wrapped up and they farging CHOKED.

[The BIGSTUD]

Lewis did fall on the ball. I wouldn't blame him for that. He didn't try to pick it up. His momentum made him roll over and the ball flew out. He did fall on it though.

[Feva]

4th and 1 wasn't a bad idea, but it was the wrong play. Reid went away from what works with Cole & Tapeh.

farg yeah... exactly... what the hell did we even bother rehearsing the play in preseason if we weren't going to use it!?!?

[TexasEagle]

Lewis fell on it, then someone fell on him. He just didn't have time to secure it. The Giants just got lucky they had someone that could secure the ball. It was purely a lucky play, that's all. The second fumble though...

[Zanshin]

Our QB is about 240...if anything, that should have been a QB sneak.

[The BIGSTUD]

Andy panicked plain and simple. Morons are calling up WIP and trashing McNabb. McNabb had nothing to do with this loss. It was on the coaches, and the stupid mistakes. McNabb did all he could with what was given to him.

[MadMarchHare]

It's early.  It sucks to lose this way, and believe me, I'm gonna pay way worse than any of you iceholes for watching the whole game (refused to go to the mother-in-law's bday party to watch OT), but there's still a lot of season left.  This win would've made everything a lot easier though.

[PhillyPhreak54]

This is just sickening.

I'm going to go get piss drunk and root for the taterskins to lose and TO to break his neck.

[The BIGSTUD]

This loss is awful, and I'm furious, but I agree. The season isn't over, not by a long shot. I'm furious, I'm angry, I'm upset, but I'm not going to panic and say the season is done. No way.

[Feva]

Lewis did fall on the ball. I wouldn't blame him for that. He didn't try to pick it up. His momentum made him roll over and the ball flew out. He did fall on it though.

It's a simple farging way to fall on the ball.  It's taught in farging high school.  Run to the ball and slide into it.  Secure it on your slide and got into a farging fetal position.  He had no one knocking him around before he got to the ball.  He should have come up with it.

[PhillyPhreak54]

One more thing before I go kill myself...

If Akers hits that FG or if LJ makes that catch in OT - we win. I can make a list of 10 choke jobs this game. I just keep coming up with more.

THEY SHOULD HAVE WON THIS MOTHERFARGING GODDAMN GAME>

[Dillen]

Akers should have made it, but let's face it, there is absolutely no point to blame Akers. That was in what, the 2nd quarter? Early 3rd? The Eagles had way too much time to farg it up and they took advantage.
