I hate NY


Eat it New York. You had a week of rest, Jacobs was healthy, you were at home, no distractions etc., and the Eagles just kicked your ass. Eli is what we thought he was. The defense held those scrubs to 11 lousy points and Manning straight up sucked. If you break it down, the first Giants field goal was set up by the kick-off return, the last field goal came off that interception from the deflection, and the defense scored 2 points from the safety. The Giants offense did NOTHING but put up 3 points on their own. The Eagles defense did EVERYTHING, the Eagles offense did just enough, and Akers made all his attempts. The refs in this game also sucked and were a factor, but the Eagles were able to defeat them as well.

Other notes:
  • Nice play by Akers on the opening kick-off. Most kickers have no idea how to take an angle.
  • The Giants kicker, Carney, looks like a 60 year old ugly-ass super-villian.
  • 2 games, 2 Asante Samuels picks lead to TDs.
  • Congrats to Reid for another QB sneak call.
  • Westbrook had a terrible game.
  • Even though the Giants stopped Westbrook, the Eagles still won.
  • Who would have thought the 2 minute drill would be the thing to wake the offense up and give the team momentum?
  • How can the refs pick up that interference flag? Oh yeah, they suck.
  • Celek had 2 bad drops but redeemed himself with the TD.
  • Other players that redeemed themselves during the game: Considine after his block in the back had a big hit on the next punt return and later made a defensive play on third down, Curtis after dropping a bomb made tough catches over the middle converting third downs.
  • Unbelievable defensive stops on 4th down, but the offense didn't capitalize.
  • Second 4th down the refs gave Jacobs almost a yard he didn't get with the spot.
  • Dawkins had another good game. I love how he leads with his helmet all the time but never gets called on it.
  • Avant had another good game.
  • McNabb wasn't spectacular, but was probably the best individual player on the field.
  • Offensive line again didn't surrender a sack.
  • One thing the defense did not do was sack Eli either, but they did pretty much control the line of scrimmage when it mattered.
  • I hope whoever was running commercials while the 4th quarter was happening gets fired.
  • Reid called a good game.
I'll let everyone else fill in the rest in the comments.
