Week 2 - Giants at Eagles GAME thread

[BigEd76]

So Andy's play sheet has the following?

-- 4th-and-1 failure
-- Westbrook fumble
-- McNabb joke around and get a false start called on yourself
-- Kick an offensive lineman and show him who's boss

[General_Failure]

Igy, sweetie, retard, he's the head coach. He takes the blame no matter what happens because he's not the kind of coach that points anyone out in a press conference. Doesn't matter if it's his playcalling, Morningwood doing crack on the sideline, McNabb getting penalized for being a dumbass, Mike Lewis handing the Giants 14 points, Jim Johnson calling the worst 8 sack game I've ever seen, Sheldon being too short, or Banner cursing out players for asking for money.

The only homers are people like you IGY, who have little or no faith in this team. Who take shots at McNabb because of his personality. Are you kidding me?

[PhillyPhreak54]

im sick of that and im sick of donovan in huge spots where the offense doesnt get the job done tapping his chest when he throws a worm burner or laughing and slapping the hands of the wr who just dropped a pass...farging kill that happy go lucky crap and make a play when you most need one

Stallworth dropping that ball and LJ dropping one too in OT were big plays that should have been made.

Donovan deserves blame for the stupid penalty. That's it.

[ice grillin you]

the game was a little closer than i thought but i essentially called it right on point...eli works the eagles all over the field and wins the game...today was his coming out party and he has now officially taken mcnabbs best qb in the divison title

head to head one qb came up short and the other didnt...ill let you guess which is which...in mcnabbs defense tho he does have one of the worst play callers in the league running his offense...but still make a play when it counts...he couldnt do it...end of story

[ice grillin you]

Stallworth dropping that ball and LJ dropping one too in OT were big plays that should have been made

i dont at all blame the game on mcnabb...he did not lose it by any means...at the same time he did nothing when it mattered to win it...but the loss goes on andy no question

[PhillyPhreak54]

Ignoring the drops, IGY? I'm shocked that you'd ignore what really happened and go right after McNabb regardless. Also you are anointing Eli as a god but yet fail to blame JJ or the DBs for playing soft.

[ice grillin you]

eli is by no means a god...but hes better than mcnabb right now

two quarterbacks went head to head in the second half of a huge game...one was incredible and one was average

blame it on drops blame it on the cb's....whatever will allow you to sleep tonight...the bottom line is the other qb won the game

but again im not blaming mcnabb...just saying he got outplayed by a better qb today

[PhillyPhreak54]

Eli is not better than McNabb. Thats crazy.

[ice grillin you]

mcnabb is what he is...eli has yet to get near his potential and even at his current state he outplayed mcnabb today...so i will respectively disagree with that call

[The BIGSTUD]

2 things:

1. The Eagles shouldn't have even been in the position to blow this. Forget the mistakes late in the game. If the Eagles actually score on a lot of the opportunities from the first half and 3rd quarter, the Eagles should've been in the 30's point wise if they managed the game correctly.

2. I don't get how they kept going to Toomer and Plexiglass all day in the 4th quarter, yet the Eagles didn't adjust. Pass after pass after pass underneath. Yet nothing was done to stop it. I understand Hanson was in the game, but he was in the 3rd quarter, and they didn't score in the 3rd. Jim Johnson's defense looked outstanding in the first half, and even the 3rd quarter, but they were gassed and totally melted down by the 4th.

[BigEd76]

igy, what makes you happier, an Eagles win or convincing everyone that you're always right after a loss?  The "ha ha I told you so" crap is annoying...

[Feva]

Sure is tough to tell sometimes, huh?

[SunMo]

McNabb can be blamed for a few plays, but he's not the reason they lost the game, which is what IGY's saying.  Eli made a few plays in the 2nd half, but he was far from impressive.  The Eagles lost this game much more than the Giants won it

This game falls on Andy Reid and his pathetic "i don't want to run up the score because i'm a nice guy" bullshtein.  they should've been running their offense in the 3rd and 4th quarter just like they did in the 1st half.

[SunMo]

oh, and the myth of this great run blocking offensive line was totally exposed today
