Eagles/Giants Discussion/Predictions/Whatever

[shorebird]

I don't think for a minute that this o-line can keep the Giants D, third ranked in the NFL, off McNabb. They are playing better than they were last year with Strahan. I don't think this offense has enough weapons to counter Bwest, and look for the Giants to key on him. They have the linebackers to do it. Reid won't run the ball anyway.

The Eagles D will be tested to the limit. The Giants have the second ranked rushing attack in the NFL, one yard behind the Falcons. And yeah, I know the Eagles stopped the Falcons, but the diff is that the Giants have a seasoned qb with veteran receivers to mix it up with. Brandon Jacobs has 680 yds. with an avg. of 5.2 per carry. And when he doesn't tote the rock, Ward is averaging 6.1 yds. per carry.

Tiki who??

I don't see the Eagles stopping this running game, 'cause if you stack the box, Eli will burn you. He also has the TE's and RB's to beat the Eagles blitzes.

I'm not saying the Eagles can't win this one at home, but I can't help but think that they will be exposed by the Giants who are a much better, balanced team right now.


Eagles 10
Giants 24

What the farg has Asante done all season that would "excite" you about seeming him against a top receiver?  He's Lito for 4x the money.

I don't see how they win this game.  Especially when the nickel corner has a pulled vagina.

[Magical_Retard]

he is lito cept healthier and 3 more INTs.

[Munson]

Asante has been breaking on the ball great all year. When he first signed I figured at most it was a lateral move with more health...but IMO he has definitely proven to be a better CB all around.


Anways.

Eagles-20
Giants-17

[MDS]

Giants 27
Eagles 10

It's gonna be baaaaaad.

[Eagaholic]

Other than wanting to get more money on the Eagles, is there any real reason why Vegas should think the Eagles will win?

[reese125]

I'm not saying the Eagles can't win this one at home, but I can't help but think that they will be exposed by the Giants who are a much better, balanced team right now.

pretty much how i feel...i even wanna say the eagles will win but other than being at home i cant really find a single reason that it would happen

im really concerned about the linebackers getting toasted in coverage all night...i see eli throwing tons of stuff short....5-7 yard crosses...stuff in the flat...screens to jacobs....this will eventually set up a long one or two to plax to seal the game late...28-17 giants


if reid runs enough..and not just runs but runs the right plays...some counters...some draws...that little push pass toss sweep they used to run to westbrook quite a bit...even a reverse or two...stuff that can keep the giants pass rush off balance...then they have a chance...but honestly i cant see that happening...in fact i would almost guarantee that the first offensive play of the game has the eagles in a shotgun...less likely but still extremely possible is three straight passes (and out) to start the game

I predict Andy sees fit to burn a timeout or two in the first and/or third quarter.

Both.  Not even a question.

I always figure that to be a given. Maybe not the 3 and out, but definitely three straight pass plays to start the game.

Unless Samuel/Lito/Sheldon can grow a foot, it's almost guaranteed Burress catches at least on TD over the top. It seems like he has every game against the Eagles since the Giants signed him.

Regardless, I can't help but to predict:

Eagles - 24
Giants - 20

[Wingspan]

eagles 12
giants 10

[Feva]

I want to believe the Eagles win.  God knows I do.

I think the defense will be game.  I actually think they'll perform well for the most part.  Unfortunately I also see a predictable, unimaginative offense doing little to help the defense stay off the field or flip field position and eventually, the D will fold.  It'll be one of those game where the eagles are in it enough to be competitive... and they'll have a chance or two to really turn things in their favor... but in the end, they won't capitalize and we'll have to deal with the frustration and pain of knowing that it was a game they "could have" won.  Just like every other loss they've had this year.

Heart:
Eagles -27
Giants - 23

Head:
Eagles - 17
Giants - 27

[Phanatic]

Eagles need to win a division game and this is it. Do or die.

Eagles infinity
Giants -10

Book it!
