Giants @ Eagles

This will be an interesting match in my opinion. Eagles favored by three on home turf, and so many "what ifs". What teams are going to show up tonight? An important divisional win for the Eagles, maybe out for a little revenge after their game last September where Giants tied a single-game record of 12 sacks on McNabb?

Turnovers and penalties is what I think this game will be about.

If the Eagles win the division will be up for grabs.

If they lose, the Eagles, Skins and Boys will be fighting for that 5th or 6th seed.

...sorry kids; baring a major player injury, the Giants are the class of the NFC East, the NFC and, probably, the NFL. Last year, it all came together and they are a better team now, after losing two super stars.

They'll win tonight. Comfortably.

I hope you're right, but we've seen the Giants' performance against the Browns (a 2006 Eli for one). Their win against the Cowboys was good, but I don't consider that much of a credible measure of success this season given their poor shape. The Steelers win was a good one. Giants' early schedule wasn't a very challenging one, either. And the Eagles may be overrated...but they've been playing well, know how important this game is, have a healthy team, and are playing at home. Again, I'm hoping you're right. :cheers:

...there was a story I read the other day about great teams in history, the Lombardi Packers, the Noll Steelers, the recent Colts and the latest Giants having weeks in great seasons where they just phoned it in one game.

I think the Browns game was that game for the Giants. That said, division games can be some of the best games in football because of familiarity and everyone knows how important division games are.

Hell, the Eagles could rise up, big time, because they have to.

Should be a good one, but, I think the Giants are the class of the league.

Maybe you're right about the Browns game being the exception. And I may be too critical on them, despite being a fan. But I think tonight's outcome will serve either as a validator of the Giants being a true class act, or just another contender in the league's best division.

Just another great NFCE game.:buddies:

I'm not sure who I want to win. If the Eagles win it will give the Skins a shot for the division. If the Giants win it will put the Eagles in a hole and the Skins will have a better shot at the wild card.

:yahoo:Giants win :yahoo::buddies::yahoo:

But it wasn't pretty by any means!

Not sure if it was due to an very physical eagles d-fence or a tired Brandon Jacobs.....but man...he scared the bajesus out of me with all of the fumbles last night:eyebrow:

besides the turn overs almost killing them, They looked really good as a whole.

1:55 left in the game. 3rd and 3, then 4th and 1.... They ran the same play twice. Andy Reid is the play caller right???

"Westbrook was stuffed on two straight plays after McNabb's 7-yard scramble set up a third-and-3 near midfield. McNabb didn't seem to agree with the play calling on Philadelphia's final two plays."
"I want the ball, but the coaches felt we can run it for the yards," he said."

Seems to me, Im not the only one who thought that....

Brandon Jacobs took a helluva shot at some point in that game. He jumped over an Eagle player and got wapped in midair. I think he fumbled the ball, but I was surprised to see him stand up right after the play.

Mind is kinda fuzzy, that's about the time the Nyquil started kicking in. :crazy: :yawn:

What.... Its an honest statement!

The giants held Westbrook to 56 yards all game. So lets give him 2 game ending running plays, when you know the giants will stuff him.
