Eagles/Giants Discussion/Predictions/Whatever

[Rome]

Go team.

Seasons over. Time to move on.

QFT

[Father Demon]

17-14, Eagles.

[ice grillin you]

I think that the Eagles have a chance to win this game if the Giants trade Eli Manning for Seneca Wallace this week.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

The Giants aren't that much better a team, but this is the kind of game this year's Eagles team is certainly going to find a way to lose.  I predict that it will be infuriating and (maybe literally) vomit-inducing.

[Phanatic]

The Eagles will be in the game but in order to win they'll have to play well in the 4th to hold off the G-men. I haven't seen them do that this year.

[rjs246]

Must score TDs in the red zone. Fail.

[ice grillin you]

the giants are certainly more talented and a better team but where they lap the eagles and the reason why they will probably win sunday is coaching....coughlin is so much better a coach than reid its not even funny....and we are coming off one of any reids all time worst coached games and a first half yesterday that was his single worst half of his career

[Rome]

Coughlin is a walking clusterfarg as a coach, especially on game day.  He was abysmal in Jacksonville and the Super Bowl run last year had nothing to do with him.  At.  All.

Reid has messed up many, many halves of football more than that.  It wasn't the coaching that had Donovan throwing the ball into the ground.  Hyberbole alert!

Plus, even if true... wouldn't it mean that he's "due" for a good one?

[Rome]

WORST HALF EVER!

[SD_Eagle5]

The big difference between the teams is the Giants do the little things well that the Eagles don't , like converting 3rd downs, scoring in the redzone, establishing a run game to take pressure off the QB, kicking an occasional FG over 40 yards. I say 'little' because the list is so long that if the Eagles could do these things well they'd probably win this game.

little things

converting 3rd downs
scoring in the redzone
establishing a run game to take pressure off the QB
kicking an occasional FG over 40 yards

Yeah, a few "little" things, huh?

WORST HALF EVER!

The more I think about it, the more asinine it sounds.  They gave up 7 points, when a guy that Reid relegated to backup duty blew a coverage completely.  The offense scored 14.  Aside from not running the ball enough, which Reid has done plenty of other times with much more consequentially bad results, how can anyone put the team's bad performance on Reid? 

You're reaching, IGY.

exactly...most of which is directly related to coaching


and the only thing that possibly prevented yesterdays first half from being reids worst ever was playing seattle...against any other team they would have lost that game by three touchdowns and wed all be hanging him right now...but even with the win i got my eye on andy

[ice grillin you]

Aside from not running the ball enough,

lol...on the road in the loudest stadium in the nfl he passed like 13 of the first 15 plays even tho the qb was beyond atrocious....add in the fact that he refused to give the ball in any way to westbrook who is arguably the best offensive player in the nfl and you have one of the worst coaching jobs ive ever seen for that period of time

the stubborness was epic and fireable

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

No, it's certainly not "epic" nor "fireable" in and of itself.

Should they also cut McNabb for his overthrows last week and underthrows this week?
