Giants at Eagles WILDCARD Game Thread

[PhillyPhreak54]

Looked like Jeff Garcia for taking the timeout before the 2min warning. Or it could have been Runyan for the penalty.

[hbionic]

It looked like he was looking at someone behind Garcia.

It looked like he was looking at someone behind Garcia.

He was looking at someone THROUGH Garcia.

Similar to our last matchup I felt the officiating was awful. Runyan should have been tossed, and they showed at least 3 late blows to the head on Garcia at the game that went uncalled. They didn't show a replay of the block in the back that negated the Westbrook punt return at the game, so I have no idea if that was legit.

They did show it once, and it was either a wrong call or a bogus call.  Daniels had his hands in front of the defender, but the defender was running too fast for him to keep up.  So Daniels started to turn his back (so he wouldn't be called for block in the back) and tried to hook the defender's arm - more of a hack than a hold.  Holding would have made more sense, but it is really hard to block someone in the back who is behind you.

Still, gotta love getting the ball with 5 minutes left, killing all of the clock, then winning the game with your money kicker.  Yes friends, Koy does make a difference.

Right on, I was in the upper level and didn't see anything that even remotely resembled a penalty.

Just like to add that the 12th man was huge today, the crowd was loud and the Giants had a ton of false starts and were forced to burn TOs because of crowd noise.

Yep.

The officiating was sloppy, and Runyan would have gotten' thrown out if the ref had been looking at him instead of the guy running up behind him. We'd have all been calling him a big dumbass if he had gotten' tossed. But I can't help but love the attitude of this o-line. They are friggen' nasty and blew the Giants off the ball yesterday. They mauled them.

That PI call on Brown was bogus. The only contact on that play was when Plax pulled Brown by his facemask--notice that didn't get called. Also, Brown was mugged by Bell and that didn't get called either.

Interesting stat heard on Sirius this morning - over 100 of Westbrook's rushing were to the right, behind Runyan & Andrews.  He had less than 50 yards going left and up the middle combined.

[Eaglez]

Runyan better not pull that kind of crap again next week. It was great to see him jack up people without any repercussions but next week he won't be as lucky.

And there was holding all game on both sides of the ball. The refs for the most part let them play.

Well, lets see if Rod Hood can earn himself a huge contract at the end of the season by playing big now. Everyone always says he's 'starting calibur' so we'll see if he can live up to that billing in extremely meaningful games.

Sucks that Lito is out, though. He's a big reason as to why they are playing so well on that side of the ball. No one really tests him much.

i don't want mcnabb on the sidelines anymore...they play better when he's not there.

[Zanshin]

It was a great game to be at-- that said, the Giants fans there were really obnoxious throughout the game.  They NEVER would have gotten away with that shtein at the vet.  Seems like a different crowd, really.  Granted, we were in some good corporate seats, so that contributed.  Still....

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

I actually agree.  Pam Oliver said he was looking at pictures and Garcia actually had to ask him for them so he could look at them.  That's BS right there.  If he wants to cheerlead, that's fine - but now is not the time to get involved in the offense or learn some new tricks for himself.

I'd run in that direction too.  Those guys F up defenders.

Another stat:  Reid is now 6-0 in opening playoff games.  It's the 2nd and 3rd ones that usually kill him...
