Philadelphia 23 New York Giants 11

[Jim Schue]

Kevin Killdrive didn't throw those terrible passes as the 4th qtr was winding down.

 

The game was over at that point, don't you think so?

 

Let's not give him a pass here. Eli threw lots of awful passes in quarters 1-3.

Dominik Hixon can return kicks well, but they took him off of kickoff and punt returns when he had to be a starter. I think they should have had him doing both kickoff and punt returns today, as he is much faster than Bradshaw.

 

Hixon did return punts and kicks today. I know he has the capability, but I would still like to bring in someone who is a dynamic guy like the ones I mentioned earlier.

 

In Jerry I trust! He is going to do what it takes to makes sure we are in this position again next year, only with a different result hopefully.

And most of the time he shouldn't have been throwing the ball in the first place. The wind was a blowin, and the Giants should have been running. They led the league in rushing for a reason...

Ahmad Bradshaw returned kickoffs today, not Hixon.

Ahmad Bradshaw returned kickoffs today, not Hixon.

 

I though Hixon was back there with him, but now that I think about it that may have just been on the free kick after the safety.

Soooo ... just so we're clear, the loss is on Eli?

No. He played bad, but once again, the play calling was what hurt the Giants the most. The only way I could lay most of the blame on Eli is if he changed the plays that were called from runs to passes. Gilbride killed a few drives IMO by not running the ball enough.

Nope it was Ward and Bradshaw deep today.

Arizona.

 

I think the Eagles "should" win this game but well have to wait and see. Their offense is going to have to be more consistent though. Wouldnt it be something for Mcnabb to lead them to the super bowl after they were calling for his head and wanted him gone? I bet they feel real stupid right now

Giants = Cowboys of last year

Nobody can be the "Giants of last year". The run that they made was one of the most improbable runs in the history of football. And there are not any 18-0 teams waiting at the end for Philly.

 

The Giants did choke just like the Cowboys did last year though, so I can see that comparison.

:lol: There are some striking similarities.

There are some similarities, but like I said, nobody is the "Giants of last year". They are the Eagles of 2008-09, not the 07-08 Giants.

How about the Steelers three years ago? That run looked awfully similar ...

Did they beat an 18-0 team in the Super Bowl?

 

Don't get me wrong. What the Steelers did was impressive, I just think wins over 3 division winners and an undefeated team is a bit more impressive.
