Giants at Eagles WILDCARD Game Thread

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

And honestly, no one should expect that to change this week. A good New Orleans team. Playing at home. After a bye. I have my problems with Andy Reid, but I would expect the Eagles to lose this game with anyone at the helm.

Even Jessica Alba?

[rjs246]

Especially Jessica Alba. Did you see those pictures of her? She has terrible hands and shameful form throwing the football. How's she supposed to coach an offense when she can't even get her own technique right? Think man, think.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

I would think her presence by itself would be inspiring enough, unless the team has a gay QB.

Oops.

[rjs246]

If her job was to prance around the sideline in a bikini and occasionally flash the brown wink, she wouldn't be 'at the helm' now would she?

[SunMo]

why do you guys always wreck threads.  i need some good football substance to keep me happy. GOSH!

SunMopolean Dynamite!

Much as I hate to admit it, I feel the same way. The Eagles aren't going to be favored. The Saints are much, much better than the Giants offensively. Brees throws deep and short with great accuracy to good recievers, and they have a killer running game. Our D will have to step up big time.

It's amusing that the Chargers had their choice of TWO QB's better than Eli before this season.

im about 89% close to using that

they won, so that covers up the fact that they went 3 and out with 3 straight passes early in the 4th quarter, and gave the ball right back to the Giants.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Andy's not calling the plays anymore!  Not his fault!   

But seriously, what infuriated me was the incompletion on 1st down, then the run for anywhere from -1 to 2 yards on 2nd down, followed by the 3rd and long.  This had to happen at least 18 times yesterday.  Roughly.

One thing I liked yesterday that you haven't seen much from Ried was decent clock managment at the end running it down to three seconds so the Giants wouldn't get the ball back. But hey, thats what he's supposed to do. It was kinda' unexpected to see good clock managment on that last drive.

[phattymatty]

we shouldn't be complimenting him for making one move that a pee-wee league coach or retarded monkey could make.  his time management was horrible as usual yesterday.

[Diomedes]

HORRIBLE.

Watching the Eagles try to figure out what to do as 23 or so seconds ticked off the clock at the end of the first half was torture.
