BRING ON THE MOTHER fargING GIANTS

[Feva]

but you also have to have the giants guys not show up because they are a better team and if both teams show up eagles lose...and thats pretty much where im at...giants are rested ready and at home i dont see how they dont put a good performance forth...i think the eagles play ok but lose

See, I'm not so sure they're a better team.  Better record, yeah... but the Eagles have really underachieved a lot this year... all the while being sabatoged by bad coaching.  When this team is on... there aren't too many teams that can really farg with them... and in my mind, that includes the Giants... especially with no Plaxico.  He was the key that dictated the way the Eagles had to play defensively, keeping a safety over the top all game instead of being able to sell out against the run.  Now that the Eagles are able to do that more often... I think if they can stop or slow the run, they can get up on the Giants.  Scoring against them has not been a problem this year.

Ready for your Yay/farg stat of the day?

Yay - The Eagles are 5-3 in their last 8 games at the Giants.
farg - The Giants have won 6 of the last 9 against the Eagles.

I agree with that. I think the difference between the two is marginal, if not dead on even. The Giants are better in some areas but lack in others; same for the Birds.

But I share IGY's worry about the road teams. I posted about it last night in the other thread...

But I have had a good feeling all week long. And while nervous right now, I am still confident that they will win....

Eagles - 20
Giants - 13

Emmitt says that Kevin Boss is the X-Factor today and he will "get back at" Dawkins for Dawk planting his ass last time.

Prediction:

Ive read enough of these previous predictions to make me think that the Eagles will lose today based off of the Giants are at home, they are rested, they have Jacobs, they are a better football team and the ever amazing home playoff trend, etc.

What I havent heard, except for Feva and Dio in so many words, is the fact that what youre seeing here in these playoffs so far is not an aberration. Teams that play well and gain momentum down the stretch win no matter who you are and where they go in the playoffs. Just because the Cardinals went into Carolina doesn't automatically exclude the Eagles from driving an 1.5 hrs up the road and beating that ass...that trend means garbage as parity in the nfl these days is squashing way too many past trends

I think this Eagles team is the better team "right now" which will prove to be the deciding factor today and as long as McNabb doesnt pull a Jake Delhomme it will be as close as the score dictates... with all nails bit off by the start of the 4th

Eagles 20
Giants 17

[General_Failure]

No Greggie today, so now the loss is a lock.

[shorebird]

The main thing that worries me about this game is that Jacobs seems to be healthy. If the Giants can establish a good ground attack, then Coughlin can mix the pass in picking the right times to do it, and make Manning a lot more effective.

In a bit of a surprise, fullback Dan Klecko, listed as doubtful for Sunday's game with a shoulder injury, was active against the Giants.

Inactive for the Eagles were third quarterback A.J. Feeley, cornerback Dimitri Patterson, running back Lorenzo Booker, linebacker Joe Mays, defensive end Bryan Smith, wide receiver Greg Lewis and tight end Matt Schobel.

Inactive for the Giants were running back Danny Ware, linebacker Gerris Wilkinson, tackle Adam Koets, defensive end Dave Tollefson, defensive tackle Leger Douzable, wide receiver Mario Manningham and two former Eagles – cornerback Rashad Barksdale and defensive tackle Jeremy Clark.

Hmmm...Coughlin has never won a playoff game at home with the Giants...  

[4and26]

I know I view these things with green colored glasses but like others I've had a good feeling about this game all week.

Birds 24
Gmen 17

Teams that play well and gain momentum down the stretch win no matter who you are and where they go in the playoffs.

yeah the cardinals were just tearing the league up down the stretch....everything was pointing towards them having a long playoff run

the eagles played one of the worst games ever in a must win situation just three weeks ago...how is that them being hot down the stretch

and the giants were so much better than the eagles that it wasnt even close with plaxico and him being out doesnt all of a sudden mean the two teams are equal...robbins tuck and jacobs being banged up was way bigger than plax being out...giants are better along both lines and at coach and are rested and are at home and know what it takes to be a championship team...thats all equals a much bigger advantage than plaxico being out is a disadvantage

if both teams show up and the ginats dont shtein the bed...meaning eli coughing thye ball up a few times then i think they win...i dont think the eagles will out play the giants like they did last month...they need to giants to hand them something or do something unusual like a trick play or two or a return td
