Week 2 - Giants at Eagles GAME thread

[Feva]

There were others, but one that sticks with me is the end of the 1st half - he hit Stallworth twice in a row on the sideline... then he was open again for another 15+ gainer, but McNabb's pass was way off.  If he hits that, maybe they come away with 7 and not only 3.  Also on the 4th and 1 play on the drive before that, he threw the ball out of bounds... which made no sense at all.

Yeah, I rewatched it the other day as well and I agree with the Stallworth throw.  Stallworth was WIDE open and McNabb underthrew him terribly.  He also made another bad throw to Stallworth where he overthrew him badly on the sideline when he was open.  He definitely made some bad throws, but none that I can trace directly to costing them.

On the 4th and 1 play though, if you still have it... watch it again.  I explained it to that moron in the other thread.  It was a designed rollout to Westbrook to pick up short yardage.  He was the only receiver on a route in the area.  Westbrook was dragging towards the sideline and he was knocked down by a defender.  At that point, McNabb is a good 4-5 yards behind the line on a rollout with the defenders bearing down on him.  He really didn't have anywhere to go with the ball.

IMO... it was a dumbass play call cuz I think it's just idiotic to call a pass play on 4th and 1 in any instance, but I can't fault McNabb for that play.

Then he should have tossed it up in bounds in the middle of the field to see if any Giants players were stupid enough to grab the INT instead of knocking it down.

Anyway, it wasn't a HUGE mistake like some people have said, but it was not a great play all around.

And he' supposed to think of that while scrambling with defenders getting ready to sack him? It's easy to sit back and say he should have thrown it up now.

um yeah...he is....great qb's do those kinds of things

[Magical_Retard]

mcnabb is usually awesome while scrambling and completing his passes. jesus the guy cant get a break.

if reggie brown catches that TD today on the perfect pass McNabb would have put really amazing stats once again...over 300 yds and 3TDs.

[mussa]

instead he had 294 and 2 TD's. cut him

Great QB's throw the ball up for grabs in hoping for an INT on 4th down.  Check.  Got it.

[General_Failure]

Favre doesn't limit that to just 4th down.

[SunMo]

the Giants secondary is awesome.

close this bitch up, it's in the past.

[Feva]

the Giants secondary is awesome.

But they're definitely better than the Eagles though.  Remember that.

And so begins the Giant implosion

It all left New York's Jeremy Shockey irate — at his coach.

"We got outplayed, and outcoached. Write that down," the volatile tight end said after he was told of Coughlin's frustrated outburst.

Shockey had four catches for 58, inconsequential yards.

When asked what he meant by "outcoached" Shockey said, "You saw the game."

Hanson would be the best CB on that team.

[Beermonkey]

Favre doesn't limit that to just 4th down.

Which is what makes him by far, the greatest QB who ever walked this planet.

By the way, for a good laugh, hit up any Giants MB...its like the end of the world is happening.  They want every single coach on the staff fired.
