    Hoping to see lots of McCoy this evening!

  2. 2 lilmc said at 8:27 PM on September 30th, 2012:

    Dawk!!!!!!!! That was awesome!!!

  3. 3 Daz said at 8:27 PM on September 30th, 2012:

    loving the later game! = 10:30am here in Australia and televised! First Eagles game I’ve seen live in ages 😀

    I studied abroad in Sydney and had the same problem. It was only a semester so tried to stay up for it live. I feel for ya though.

    I’m with you mate! Long weekend means it’s the first game I don’t have to try and hide on Gamepass at work.

  6. 6 TommyLawlor said at 8:42 PM on September 30th, 2012:

    That’s awesome.

  7. 7 Corry Henry said at 8:31 PM on September 30th, 2012:

    Dawk looks like he could suit up and play!

  8. 8 Zachary Kaplan said at 8:32 PM on September 30th, 2012:

    Don’t have a ton of confidence here entering the start of the game. Hopefully last week it just weighing too heavily on my mind.

  9. 9 Corry Henry said at 8:35 PM on September 30th, 2012:

    I think Manning got hit on each of his drop backs so far. Good way to start.

  10. 10 Zachary Kaplan said at 8:36 PM on September 30th, 2012:

    Awful starting field position, we really have to start improving our special teams. I thought kicking off to start would be beneficial, but we’re starting at our 10 again.

  11. 11 SteveH said at 8:37 PM on September 30th, 2012:

    Graham and Cox off to great starts.

  12. 12 TommyLawlor said at 8:41 PM on September 30th, 2012:

    Good to see.

  13. 13 Arby1 said at 8:37 PM on September 30th, 2012:

    Hoping for a fast start here with the home crowd on Sunday night and Dawk retiring. Let’s start in the 1st quarter for a change..

  14. 14 Zachary Kaplan said at 8:40 PM on September 30th, 2012:

    OLine looks bad already. Vick hit again, bad start for the offense.

  15. 15 TommyLawlor said at 8:41 PM on September 30th, 2012:

    He did at least have some time.

  16. 16 Daz said at 8:43 PM on September 30th, 2012:

    And Shady got a touch.

  17. 17 Corry Henry said at 8:40 PM on September 30th, 2012:

    Justin Tuck is starting to look like the Shredder from TMNT.

  18. 18 DamonL86 said at 8:40 PM on September 30th, 2012:

    great starting position again for the giants

  19. 19 bdbd20 said at 8:42 PM on September 30th, 2012:

    I like the playcalling so far. We just have to keep it simple.

  20. 20 SteveH said at 8:47 PM on September 30th, 2012:

    Jesus Kendricks next to Marty B is like David and Goliath.

  21. 21 TommyLawlor said at 8:47 PM on September 30th, 2012:

    Ha. It really is.

  22. 22 TommyLawlor said at 8:48 PM on September 30th, 2012:

    Really could use a couple of 1st downs here even if we end up punting. Flip the field a bit.

  23. 23 Corry Henry said at 8:48 PM on September 30th, 2012:

    Yeah, if nothing else happens, we really need to flip the field position. We’re really losing that battle.

  24. 24 Daz said at 8:59 PM on September 30th, 2012:

    well, they flipped the field – hopefully the defence can get a quick stop…

  25. 25 DamonL86 said at 8:51 PM on September 30th, 2012:

    This o line is awful

  26. 26 Corry Henry said at 8:52 PM on September 30th, 2012:

    I blame Reid and Mornhinweg for lopsided play calling, but the line isn’t helping matters with all these penalties. Cannot continually have 1st and 20, 1st and 15, etc…

  27. 27 TommyLawlor said at 8:53 PM on September 30th, 2012:

    That is a definite factor.

  28. 28 iskar36 said at 8:53 PM on September 30th, 2012:

    I don’t get the brown run play call. They ran to Dunlap’s side who is going against JPP and ran with Brown instead of McCoy. I understand they like Brown, but why not give McCoy the ball early in the game and get him going?

  29. 29 TommyLawlor said at 9:01 PM on September 30th, 2012:

    Agree with you.

  30. 30 Corry Henry said at 8:58 PM on September 30th, 2012:

    I’d like to see the Eagles can the draw plays for a bit and just let the line fire off the ball. All the runs can’t be called back on a penalty can they?

  31. 31 TommyLawlor said at 9:01 PM on September 30th, 2012:

    I don’t blame them for starting with draw plays, but agree that they should move to some more aggressive runs.

  32. 32 TommyLawlor said at 8:58 PM on September 30th, 2012:

    That last holding call on Todd was BS. DL ran into him, fell on him. Looked awkward, but not holding.

  33. 33 Arby1 said at 9:02 PM on September 30th, 2012:

    props to Lesean for juking Phillips knee into another zip code.

  34. 34 Daz said at 9:07 PM on September 30th, 2012:

    well, at least we’re not starting from inside the 20 this drive…

  35. 35 Arby1 said at 9:07 PM on September 30th, 2012:

    Demaris makes a good PR decision!

  36. 36 TommyLawlor said at 9:11 PM on September 30th, 2012:

    Yeah, he had me nervous for a second.

  37. 37 Corry Henry said at 9:07 PM on September 30th, 2012:

    Giants secondary looking like a MASH unit.

  38. 38 Corry Henry said at 9:09 PM on September 30th, 2012:

    Can we get Todd Herremans back? I dunno who that is wearing the 79 jersey, but dude sucks.

  39. 39 bdbd20 said at 9:11 PM on September 30th, 2012:

    It’s amazing how much this offense misses Jason Peters.

  40. 40 TommyLawlor said at 9:12 PM on September 30th, 2012:

    Yes, but to be fair that doesn’t excuse Todd’s issues.

  41. 41 bdbd20 said at 9:15 PM on September 30th, 2012:

    Good point. I just wonder how many times Todd was given help last year with JP able to dominate his man.

  42. 42 Corry Henry said at 9:14 PM on September 30th, 2012:

    Whatever we’re paying Bell, it’s too much.

  43. 43 P_P_K said at 9:14 PM on September 30th, 2012:

    I like seeing Vick in the shotgun.

  44. 44 Arby1 said at 9:17 PM on September 30th, 2012:

    Already consumed way too much beer for 1 quarter. A spritzer chaser please!

  45. 45 P_P_K said at 9:17 PM on September 30th, 2012:

    Can’t be too much, you’re still able to type.

  46. 46 Arby1 said at 9:26 PM on September 30th, 2012:

    Yes, but I really want to watch the 4th quarter.

  47. 47 rls255 said at 9:17 PM on September 30th, 2012:

    Our o-line is leaking oil badly

  48. 48 bdbd20 said at 9:23 PM on September 30th, 2012:

    I’m sure Giants fans are saying the same thing about their line.

  49. 49 Corry Henry said at 9:19 PM on September 30th, 2012:

    I’m so tired of seeing the corner blitz work week after week after week.

  50. 50 nicolajNN said at 9:24 PM on September 30th, 2012:

    You know how you can tell these are two bad o-lines? When even I can tell there’s a holding, before I see a flag is thrown

  51. 51 DamonL86 said at 9:24 PM on September 30th, 2012:

    3rd and long of course we blow it

  52. 52 SteveH said at 9:25 PM on September 30th, 2012:

    Fuck bonehead play by Babin.

  53. 53 Daz said at 9:27 PM on September 30th, 2012:

    great play by hughes!

  54. 54 lilmc said at 9:28 PM on September 30th, 2012:

    Nice play by Hughes!

  55. 55 Arby1 said at 9:28 PM on September 30th, 2012:

    My man Brandon Hughes with a nice PBU!

  56. 56 TommyLawlor said at 9:33 PM on September 30th, 2012:

    Huge play.

  57. 57 lilmc said at 9:29 PM on September 30th, 2012:

    2 smart plays by Johnson tonight on punt returns!

  58. 58 P_P_K said at 9:34 PM on September 30th, 2012:

    agree

  59. 59 DamonL86 said at 9:31 PM on September 30th, 2012:

    This play calling is awful

  60. 60 TommyLawlor said at 9:34 PM on September 30th, 2012:

    The lack of non-draw play runs is bugging me. Andy still looking for big gainers. Just get 3 frickin yards.

  61. 61 Corry Henry said at 9:32 PM on September 30th, 2012:

    Even when they do call a run play, it’s a draw. Let them fire off the ball and maul the shit out of the Giants!

  62. 62 Zachary Kaplan said at 9:33 PM on September 30th, 2012:

    Ineffective offense again so far this week.

  63. 63 Daz said at 9:34 PM on September 30th, 2012:

    do you think they’re (MM/AR) calling all these shitty run plays that go nowhere so we all shut up about the pass/run ratio?!

  64. 64 TommyLawlor said at 9:34 PM on September 30th, 2012:

    Trying to burn the Giants pass rush. Good in theory, but not working.

  65. 65 onemorebop said at 9:36 PM on September 30th, 2012:

    Ryans like a boss!

  66. 66 P_P_K said at 9:37 PM on September 30th, 2012:

    This is tough NFC East football.

  67. 67 Zachary Kaplan said at 9:38 PM on September 30th, 2012:

    Gonna need some extended drives, defense can’t keep this energy level up all night.

  68. 68 Corry Henry said at 9:40 PM on September 30th, 2012:

    We should throw more. (reverse pyschology).

    and constantly run draw plays.

  69. 69 Daz said at 9:42 PM on September 30th, 2012:

    finally get Vick some time and he throws it like that? urgh

  70. 70 Corry Henry said at 9:43 PM on September 30th, 2012:

    McCoy can make defenders look really stupid.

  71. 71 Daz said at 9:43 PM on September 30th, 2012:

    here we go – simple throws on quick reads and we’re moving…

  72. 72 Zachary Kaplan said at 9:45 PM on September 30th, 2012:

    Finally Vick makes a play with his legs. Big 3rd down there.

  73. 73 DamonL86 said at 9:47 PM on September 30th, 2012:

    Don’t turn it over down here

  74. 74 TommyLawlor said at 9:48 PM on September 30th, 2012:

    I hate you for saying it, but we’re all thinking it.

  75. 75 bdbd20 said at 9:50 PM on September 30th, 2012:

    FG on 3rd down? That would be interesting

  76. 76 nicolajNN said at 9:49 PM on September 30th, 2012:

    Better o-line play or better play calling on this drive?

  77. 77 TommyLawlor said at 9:50 PM on September 30th, 2012:

    Playcalling has helped the OL to play better. How’s that for a confusing answer?

  78. 78 Corry Henry said at 9:51 PM on September 30th, 2012:

    Yes! Jackson!

  79. 79 Daz said at 9:52 PM on September 30th, 2012:

    that. was. awesome!

  80. 80 TommyLawlor said at 9:53 PM on September 30th, 2012:

    Now that was a great play. Well designed, well blocked, and well executed. More please.

  81. 81 lilmc said at 9:53 PM on September 30th, 2012:

    Great Play!!!

  82. 82 P_P_K said at 9:54 PM on September 30th, 2012:

    Is Maclin playing? Am I missing something?

  83. 83 lilmc said at 9:54 PM on September 30th, 2012:

    Coming back. Special Teams are having some problems tonight.

  84. 84 DamonL86 said at 9:56 PM on September 30th, 2012:

    what happened to our pass rush?

  85. 85 onemorebop said at 9:56 PM on September 30th, 2012:

    Eli Manning has this uncanny ability to play shit for long stretches of the game and then wake up briefly to cheat a win. I hate that.

  86. 86 bdbd20 said at 9:58 PM on September 30th, 2012:

    I always attributed that trait to being Peyton’s brother. I just think that he doesn’t feel any pressure because he has always been inferior to Peyton and just doesn’t care about being great.

  87. 87 Zachary Kaplan said at 9:58 PM on September 30th, 2012:

    Defensive Line needs to get to Eli on this drive.

  88. 88 lilmc said at 10:00 PM on September 30th, 2012:

    No pressure upfront

  89. 89 Corry Henry said at 10:01 PM on September 30th, 2012:

    Good play by Hughes again.

  90. 90 Arby1 said at 10:02 PM on September 30th, 2012:

    Missed offensive interference call there gives NY 3 points! Bring back the replacements!

  91. 91 lilmc said at 10:02 PM on September 30th, 2012:

    Hughes is playing really well.

  92. 92 SteveH said at 10:05 PM on September 30th, 2012:

    Someone has to get a screen grab of Kendricks trying to cover Marty B. It’s like my little brother trying to cover me on a pass route.

  93. 93 ian_no_2 said at 10:06 PM on September 30th, 2012:

    Hughes is doing what he does. Solid coverage, can’t catch the ball. Don’t think the receiver had his hand in there. But he stopped the TD.

  94. 94 Liam Henry Garrett said at 10:08 PM on September 30th, 2012:

    Am I wrong in thinking that PI against Hughes was really obvious? Maybe Hughes should have still caught it, but the receiver wasn’t even pretending to be making a play on the ball.
