Eagles/Giants Talk

[reese125]

hoping westbrook can play here...not because he is all world, but to be accounted for on the field.

lets see if reid watched some tape of the skins game and noticed that every pass mcnabb threw was towards/down the sidelines or checked down? doubt it but disgusting anyway. throw some inside slants, crossing routes, and work over top the lb's....the giants team can/will give up yards through he air

if someone spots Jason Avant in the city let him know the game starts at 1pm this sunday

both teams are mediocre right now....eagles win a tight one...20-17

[BigEd76]

the Eagles are a 1-pt favorite, and Albert/Moose/Goose are calling the game

All I have to say is come on defense! I have zero faith in the offense

It's only a matter of time until this team gets REALLY embarrassed.  On either side of the ball and special teams they appear both unprepared and unmotivated = poor coaching.  Witherspoon was a very pleasant exception to the above.  This game could get very ugly very early.  I am bringing two guests so I have to go, but if I wasn't I would TiVo it and go hunting, fishing or do an in home root canal.  As many on this board have said before the season started do we really need to watch another 9-7 team maybe get a wildcard?  The truth is 75% of the NFL Teams suck.   Poor fundamentals = poor coaching.  IMO they might as well have their lockout and start over in 2011.

They were nearly shut out by the Raiders, and the defense rolled over and died against the Saints. I'm not sure how much more embarrassment you're looking for.

Matt Mosley, of ESPN.com, reports Philadelphia Eagles QB Donovan McNabb is 4-for-19 for 40 yards against the blitz this season and has a passer rating of 39.6 in those situations

I agree, but I think it's just as big that Westbrook is worlds better in pass protection than Shady at this point... and the Giants know that.

[JackStraw]

Do the Gints really lose three in a row? I think not unless sheli tosses 2 picks and Killa tosses his salad a few times.

In reality, D plays ok, but gets tired after too many three-and-outs. Birds lose in a desultory fashion 27-17, failing miserably on third downs and meekly accepting FG's instead of TD's. Westy doesn't play, McCoy gets little help and the tumescent one goes 65/35 on passing ratio. Pimp provides the few highlights of the day, but also does something silly as well.

Really went out on a limb, didn't I?

yeah i wonder if witherspoon will look as good trying to shed the giants offensive line while brandon jacobs runs downhill on him all game...giants arent world beaters but they also arent tampa the chiefs oakland carolina or DC

[Drunkmasterflex]

Their D even when fresh gives up too many yards, I know bottom line is points.  Often times though even when they do receive support from the offense at the end of the game they get tired because they allow teams to stay out on the field.

The people who need to be made aware that Jason Avant is still an Eagle are the quarterback, the coach and the offensive coordinator. No plays have been called for him and McNabb hasn't looked his way at all. He prefers to check it down for a half a yard.

A recipe for disaster right there.

Until he improves that, which won't happen until the fat bodies pick up a blitz or two and until the backs can help out a bit, he's going to get blitzed into next week.

Thank you Raiders, of all teams, for exposing the weakness!

Couldn't care less about this game with the Phillies being in the Series.  I'll watch it because I don't have errands to run on Sunday, though.  Dio = lucky bastich.

This is so true and direct result of reids inability to end games and manage the clock.

True. The fact it's on at 8 Am HST and I will have absolutely nothing to do but get coffee I'll watch.
