PHI 19, NYG 7 – 2nd Half
Posted: October 6th, 2013 | Author: Tommy Lawlor | Filed under: Philadelphia Eagles | 452 Comments »Slow start, but then things really picked up. Big question is Vick’s status. He ran the ball really well in the first half. Helped to jump-start the offense. Foles finished the half.
The Giants are really banged up. David Wilson is out for the game.
The Eagles D got better. Fingers crossed on that staying true.
_
Please, please, please score TDs instead of FGs.
This opening drive is huge for the defense!!!
I love hearing the Giants fans boo.
cannot upvote enough.
Great stop D!
3 and out!!! Shady time!!! You know he is breaking a long one in this half!!!!
Long runs for everybody!
Nice start by D
When Manning gets skittish things start to fall apart for the Giants. Let’s hope this keeps up.
I hope we get to see his unhappy face a lot more this game.
The Mr Ed with Down Syndome face? Yes please
Eli Face is the best.
Yeah, do some flips NOW you little bitch
Yes, I love the revenge cheer, thumbs up for you.
Riley Cooper covered? What a surprise!
The Giants are a terrible team.
What’s concerning is the Eagles collected FG after FG after FG (other than the 4th one).
A team as bad a the NYG should be scorched for TDs.
Also, why wasn’t Kelly calling the Vick-running plays against Denver?
Is Plaxico Burress still playing?
THe Vick running fear is gone.
Bad play calling by Chip..bad hands by Djax
Why bad play calling?
Cuz shady didn’t run on first and second down
You’re right, can’t have it both ways.
Gotta hold on to that DJax
That was pass interference though it was a bang bang play can’t blame the refs or DJax for that one.
Very good patience.
Folesy baby!!!
Want to see Foles get that ball snapped right away so the Giants can’t challenge.
Love DeSean.
A bigger, stronger receiver makes that catch.
Is he blaming the Eagles offense for moving too fast? That timeout is on him.
Did it look like the defense linemen called the timeout?
yes. It was a to and THEN a challenge. So either way they burned a to. If they lose the challenge, they’re down 2 time outs
I like that they forced the giants to call aTO. Hopefully they lose 2
I hope Coughlin loses so I can see his face blows up like a nuke.
It explodes either way. Hot, cold, mild, win. loss. LOL
Shame Djax couldn’t hold onto that earlier one.
The defender was pulling down on one of his arms. It wasn’t a gimme, at least.
Yeah, was a tough one but I have a feeling we’ll lose this challenge.
Damn, he dropped it at the end.
Yep.
WOW! totally surprised!
So Coughlin calls a time out, and then challenges a play he might very well lose which would cost him a second time out in the second half of a game he’s trailing… has he been taking offseason classes at the Andy Reid school of clock management?
LOL! Making up for the safety!
cool officials. We’re even now. Though you should still spot us a point.
I love it when BS goes our way. It feels soooooo good.
Whoa! Can’t believe that!
LOL
WHAAAAAT!!!!!!!! Woo Hooo!!
Payback for that safety..karma is a bitch ain’t it COUGHLIN? Burn baby burn!!!
LeSean McCoy held up the ball like a trophy and then lost control because of it.
Just tuck the ball against your body.
Looked to me more like he had his hands up to keep his balance while he kept his feet in bounds.
maybe . . . maybe so
Ok Foles.
Hey, a man-coverage-beating bunch set!
Celek caught a ball
#yayreplacementrefs… Oh wait…
C’mon Kelce. You gotta play better than that.
Fat bust Patterson makes a play.
Patterson was a grinder for us, he gave us good years.
He was supposed to be better, bust.
Ok.
Ok, first round. He’s a bust.
You’re getting Bunkley and Patterson mixed up.
First rounder has to be bettter, that’s a lot of guys you’re passing for him.
Kelce got jacked twice on that drive. Just shoved straight back.
Eagles players always play better after getting cut.
For sure, First round bust for us.
Blocking terrible on runs
Time to crush Eli.
If the effectiveness of Kelly’s offense depends so much on Vick running the ball, then this is a long-term structural problem in Philadelphia.
How many Michael Vicks will the Eagles be acquiring to play QB over the next 3-4 years?
Maybe but more likely, the game plan for today was based on Vick playing and now we’re adjusting to Foles.
Hope so.
Much of that is because Foles is just a zero. It does, however, require an excellent ability to run.
Also need to remember, the Shady Phenomenon has a great deal to do with Vick commanding rush discipline on the part of the DL and LBs, and his arm pushes back the S.
You’re making my point.
If I’m Howie Roseman I’m scouting Johnny Manziel, Tajh Boyd, etc. very heavily right now. This offense needs a guy who throws better than Vick and runs better than Foles.
Foles needs to pull ball and run even for five
Whats funny is a player on the giants called that timeout. Didn’t see his number but a linebacker or lineman called it. Poorly coached team.
Put Casey in…FOles will know what to do with him..Riley and Avant aren’t doing anything. Replace them with our TEs, run the ball, play action to ertz
The passing game is too inefficient with an inconsistent thrower like Vick at the helm, and the running game loses the matchup difficulties it poses with a pocket passer like Foles in there – I’m more convinced than ever that the quarterback needed to make this offense work in the NFL is not on the roster yet.
I agree.
How many of those QBs exist who can play at an NFL level?
Not many. Luckily at least a few of them look likely to come out in the draft next season.
Not really. Mariota, for example, is not even at Jake Locker level in terms of both arm or leg. Boyd is a raw passer, and Manziel doesn’t have the arm.
Obviously none of them are perfect prospects, but I think all three have the tools to be legit NFL quarterbacks.
Uh Oh. Did the carriage turn back into a pumpkin?
Ah, there’s the Eagles D we know and love…
So we might not have to see that damn salsa dance this week.
Giants shoot themselves in the foot. Aren’t we supposed to do that?
🙂 I love the bad Eli facial expressions.
Manning face!
WOw holding like crazy on that play.
Gonna let them right back in game
and there it is
Wow. Not much pressure on Eli today.
Yeah its very concerning, the Giants OL is not good.
Of COURSE.
Back to the silk curtain.
Silk is relatively expensive. This is toilet paper.
Wet TP — 1 ply
Dollar store weak brand.
That might be a little too high quality for these guys
Oh right…it’s still the Eagles defense.
Playing back that far off the line in man coverage?
Nate Allen must go.
We got nate Allened!!!
Can Foles hold it down for them?
Easily could have been a hold against Cox on that 3rd down
He got pulled around, absolutely.
Nate Allen and angles not a good combo
Failed geometry.
Hate to see his house.
I will refer to him as Euclid from now on.
And to add insult to injury the stream I’m forced to watch from is now turning into a slideshow.
When will Chip bench Nate? Thought payers would be held accountable with Andy gone…grow a pair Chip!!!
How about a KO return?
how bout to the 20?
Forgot about the barely any KO returns in the NFL safety concern.
No.
I wish we hadn’t traded McNabb so that Nate Allen would have never become an Eagle.
We only drafted Allen before Gronk, Sean Lee, and Daryl Washington
Sean Lee, hugely over rated and now grossly over paid.
Reuban Randle — until then — was personally keeping the Eagles ahead in this game.
D up to their old tricks again
Brown must have set a record for horizontal runs out of bounds
wheels coming off the bus
Lol right
3 & out. Surprise.
That was an awful series
we’re about to get crushed huh.
We’re missing VIck now without a doubt. They have no worries on d
I know we have to change it up, but I absolutely hate when Brown comes in. Especially when they run to the edge.
Here comes our d?
21 – 19 coming up
Fair catch interference I knew it
*sigh* and now the backup looks like a backup.
The problem is the starter also looked like a backup. This passing offense is BAD.
Seriously, you really need some self-awareness.
lol shah, they win going away with Vick there
Vick was effective running the ball. But he was lousy throwing it. He was 6-14 with a 69.0 passer rating. That is not NFL starter caliber passing, particularly against a horrible pass defense like NYG’s. If you think otherwise you need to go watch some teams that have actual good NFL quarterbacks and see what they do against bad pass defenses.
Or maybe it raises an issue with the scheme?
Not really.
The big problem is the offense’s inability to generate easy throws. If there was some of that capacity there á la Andy Reid, then Foles could look decent enough to finish the game.
If you were right, then Foles would be doing better than “just good enough” to finish.
The offense would be at a stand-still.
With Alex Smith, Andy Reid is only getting one or two setup throws per series. Just works juuuuust enough.
Their running game has proven ineffective without Vick in there.
The safeties are up because of the lack of fear of a deep ball.
God lets make easier for them
Are u kidding me?
Incoming implosion
Finding a way to lose.
Lets just have a fire sale with the defensive players
Where the F was the interference
For some reason I still haven’t lost hope for this game.
I get that Kelly didn’t game plan today for Foles.
But if the running game dissolves because the QB doesn’t present a running threat equal to a RB, then the scheme may be flawed.
Big “MO” is ready to tip back to the G-men
how can that idiot even call for a PI?
I’m amazed Allen wasn’t trailing that deep ball by 5 yards.
3rd and long. TD
Euclid brought his protector on that one. Spoke too soon.
F these refs.
Here it comes
Holy crap
Even the camera man is shaking his head
Lousy call. That was not a catchable ball.
Can we please get some pressure
Our defense is atrocious
Nate Allen has been getting beat over the top all game and putting our trail corners in a bad position.
Do we have a sack?
What the hell is a Nate Allen
No timeouts. Andy there?
Easy. The refs look to have missed the replay challenge.
wow
Of course we turn Randle into a star
I hate football every sunday
Welp game over
Does anyone have a good stream right now? The one I’m using is trash.
a t d h e. e u
Everyone is complaining about it.
Yeah, because it went from acceptable to garbage over halftime.
Billick has been there since the start of the game, so I’m not sure about the whole ‘acceptable’ thing.
I don’t think it’s the stream.
Well…we won half the game. That counts for something right?
Technically only the 2nd quarter.
How is it possible the d can be this bad
Well…it ain’t Cruz at least
The only stream I have is me peeing on my tv.
That PI on Boykin was giant bs.
Collossal BS. As was the “Fair Catch Interference”. They let him try to catch it and he MUFFED it.
Yea if I see that stupid dance I’m gonna lose it
Penalty or not we can’t stop anyone
Regardless of outcome, I hope I never hear the word “Retool” again. Not for at least 5 or 6 years.
I don’t understand why “rebuilding” is such a dirty word. When you have a team that is 4-12 on merit, which lacks a franchise quarterback or any plus players on defense, it needs to be rebuilt, not re-tooled. You re-tool a vintage sports car that runs well but needs some body work and a new paint job, not a broken down jalopy like the 2012 Eagles.
Manning in an excellent rhythm now against the Eagles’ defense.
My family hates Sundays
They stopped running with Foles in there? lol
Cooper u slow bitch
He had him if he throws earlier.
Riley had separation!
And Avant had YAC! HOLY SHIT
They give McCoy shit this offensive line
NIce!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Whats wrong with Lane?
Why is hte offense so slow
Rz3
No more fgs come on
Do they even run the uptempo anymore?
seriously, why/when did Chip get tame
Chip forgot he has RBs
Why are we allergic to the end zone
…
Because when Vick is in, we can’t execute precision touch passes in small areas, and when Foles is in, our running game sucks. And because we don’t have any great physical receivers. It’s hard to get in the end zone with those sorts of limitations.
sigh fgs not gonna cut it
Even if we win this game, I won’t feel good about this one.
Why? Division games are battles. We need to learn to gut out a close dog fight
Why? Because win or lose, this is a bad team. The absolute best case scenario is they go 9-7, squeak into the playoffs because the rest of the NFC East also sucks, and get smeared in the first round of the playoffs by San Francisco, Green Bay, or some other legitimately better wild card team. And given that that may cost them the chance to draft a cornerstone QB, I’m not sure that counts as a “best case scenario” in the long run.
Lol…I’m trying to see us build something dog…I have no delusions of instant gratification…
What are we building we’ve gotten worse every week on both sides of the ball.
Kelce being dominated inside today.
Yeah he’s gotten rag dolled a couple of times.
We cut Patterson and didn’t draft Hankins
Bet u we get beat deep
Bring in the 3rd string D.
Write this down: Sopoaga made a play.
Intentional grounding/
Soap sighting!
There we go
Come on Offense
here’s our shot.
Run the fucking ball ANDY!!!!
Defense showed up! All four plays!
Praise the Lord and GEagle!
Get accurate Foles!
Rather see Chip get his head out of his ass and put this game in Shadys hands!!!
Shady’s getting stuffed. No option risk,
Fuck the option..if Chip can’t run the ball without the option with the best back in the league, then get me a coach that can
Best back needs blocking.
Stop it…best back and a struggling Oline need to pound the rock and get into a Rythem…Chip never helped either get into a flow
A rhyhem of 3 and outs? I think that’s exactly the thinking that Kelly goes against. Man coverage with no safety help — that should be big play all day.
This was pretty true during Foles’ spate of starts last year in a different offensive system.
Avant with bad hands today
And Andy throws the ball on first down…
Cause like running and using LeSean would be, well…
Where’s the TEs at?
hmmm… wtf was that.
Good coverage.
not a single run is a little concerning.
That was interesting and uneventful 3 and out
Look, CHip, I know they got 8 in the box, but come on man! run the goddamn ball!
Yup, as soon as he sees 8 in the bx he is scared to death to run
Blockers are wearing dresses.
I swear I wish we had trestman
Dumbest comment of the day.
I wish we had Bandon Marshall + Matt Forte, wonder what our offense would look like.
We’re like jaguar level.
My opinion of Chip Kelly has fallen a lot.
I’m close to wanting to see Chip Lose this game. He does not deserve an NFL win today
You guys are dummies 😉
Not about the results man….it’s the methodology….nice to see aggression after a turnover tho
Catches the hard ones, drops the easy ones.
Ugly series. Foles has to hit Avant with that throw on second down, and get rid of the ball on 3rd down rather than take that sack.
Why can every team run slants all day on us and we cant run one to save our lives
B/c we are terrible. I think b/c we have no safety we’re so susceptible to deep balls that the middle of the field is open all day. Which terrible, b/c at the end of the day teams take 10 minutes of the clock with the short stuff and still get 6. I’d almost rather them just beat us over top and still give us time to get the ball back.
Holy fucking shit!
Eli just Eli’d the shit out of that one.
we need that so bad
This def is the type of squad to fall asleep on the bus and the offensive players carry them in the locker room
Blitz by Boykin causes a turnover….worse thing ever.
OMG
Pray more BC!
I just did the Julio touchdown dance.
think it’ll catch on?
no
ORGASM!!!!!
Perfect. I repent for all of my sins Chip Kelly. Great coach, great scheme!1 Celek!!
Thank GOD!
Yay winning
SAVED!!!!!!!
Celek’s catch was awesome in technique.
DEFENSE!!! DEFENSE!!!!
..
Celek caught a TD..hahahahahahaha my TE had a bye week,cInwas forced to pick up Celek and start him. Hahahahaha now that’s lucky!!!
…great throw by St. Nick..If you aren’t going to pound the rock, nice seeing an aggressive attempt after a Turnover
So wait…Celek can make the circus-OMG-WTF-SportsCenter themed catches and then drops the easy ones?
He’s the TE version of McNabb.
so what happened. I have no streams working right now.
Eli Eli’d the shit out of a pass that Kendricks intercepted. Celek made a circus catch for the TD on the very next play. Birds 29-Gmen 21.
Blitzing Boykin catches Eli who wobbles one into the air, Kendricks intercepts and returns to the 20. First play, play action pass, Foles goes to Celek running up the seam who makes a great fingertip catch at full stretch in the endzone.
That’s what a coach manufactoring a passing opportunity looks like! I was expecting run all the way, and screamed NOOOOO!!!! at the playaction, and I bet the Giants Defense went YESSSSSS!!!, but Kelec gets snuck down, and it’s ME that goes YESSSSS!!!, and the Giants go NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
::elipoutface::
Poetry
This game would be over if they didn’t screw us out of the safety
This game has see-sawed all day.
The question is will it see or will it saw now?
Today qualifies as a typical Eagles-Giants game. Back and forth, momentum shifts, weird turnovers/plays,… its far from over.
I can’t decide which is the bigger mystery:
1.)How has our offense scored 29 points, as bad as it has looked today?
2.)How has our defense only given up 21 points, as bad as it has looked today?
2) Because we’re playing the Giants, who have 7pts in the last two games combined.
Sad Eli!
The Giants — for the 1st time all year — look like a decent NFL team.
That’s concerning. Just saying.
Damn, how’d cruz have safety and CB beat on that paly?
On another note – trant richardson is terrible.
Brandon Boykin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What
O hello Defense, nice to meet u
Nate Allen still letting people get overtop of him.
Wow Boykin.
Boykin!!!!!! That better be 10 ten plays.
Just sit back and watch my young D grow!!!! That’s what we are Building!!! Lol
haha I don’t even want to get excited about this game. But whatever we can win ugly fine.
Gotta crawl before we can run
Colts trade for Richardson paying dividends.
hahaha
Exactly!!!
By the way, do you ever find your way over to Volkh Consp?
easy guys, we know how this crew feels about boykin. they’ll probably take it back.
The game just SAWED!
A player makes critical mistakes all game and then makes an interception that is EPIC!
Boykin has made some mistakes but he’s also the only player in this entire secondary with real playmaking ability.
Can we credit Boykin with a steal there?
Boykin is a baller. Love that kid.
Pressure sometimes better than sacks.
Boykin pressure causes INT
Cox pressure causes INT
That works
If this gets overturned, the fix is on
Been high on Boykin all season, he’s a playmaker. 3rd TO he has in 5 games.
Cox,Mykal,Boykin….that’s what we are building!!!
That might be the most awesome int I’ve ever seen.
Come on Chippah….Td ERTZY!!!!
Folesy to Djax works tho…JOLLY ol ST Nick!!!!!
Desean redzone touchdown!
Now this is a qb controversy
32nd ranked d.
That vick could not throw against..
the Giants defense gave up after that Celek TD.
That was awesome.
DeSean Jackson redzone TD. Up is down and black is white.
Did you just pull the race card?
jk
You have entered the TWILIGHT ZONE!!
Not a good look for 1-3 Vick and his continuos redzone struggles….is it too early for me to say Told you so? Lol JK…kinda 🙂
Hah we have a QB that plays well between the 20s and one that plays well in the 20s.
omg Kelly should do QB by committee!
Sooooo
Between the 20s is Vick territory
Red Zone is Foles’ territory?
Worst QB Draw Ever
We’ve actually seen worse.
I’m not going to count McMahon.
but nothing will burn time off the clock like a foles run.
With you there. Foles might be able to score on that against a Pop Warner defense because he could carry five or six eight years olds into the end zone, but he wouldn’t be able to outrun them.
That was a nice route
lol, love Desean mocking Cruz’s salsa on the TD.
I don’t encourage that kind of taunting … except against the Giants, Boys or Skins.
Yeah, I say taunt all day in this one. I hope he catches another one and starts doing back flips.
OH YEA!!!!!!
Lovely route by Jackson, lovely touch pass by Foles. Is there any way we can play both quarterbacks at the same time?
Like McNabb/Vick?
Boos!
Play foles in the rz?
On further consideration, I will feel good about this game if we win in a blowout.
Come on D make Eli shrug and shake his head.
It’s a shame the Meadowlands doesn’t have real grass.because the tears of all the Giants fans could keep it lush and green for years.
The grass would burn from all the salt.
man, this is really going to pad our D’s stats.
Ha Eli is making our d look like the Seahawks right now
Eli has thrown 12 picks through 5 games. Does he have a legitimate chance to break Vinny Testaverde’s single season record?
DEFENSE!!! defense!!!!!!cDEFENSE!!!
Eli being Eli.
That was a beautiful INT.
ANON . . .
ever to get to Volokh Consp?
We have ManningFace, repeat we have ManningFace.
Hakeem Nicks twice pulled up on slants. Cost the Giants.
Why is Barbre out there? Someone hurt?
Lane was hurt earlier
I’m sad McCoy doesn’t have 100 yrds
why did we false start there lol.
Too soon to run the ball into an 11 man line.
Donnie Jones killing it today.
3 fouls? Really? Holy crap.
How the Gnats ended up winning two SBs with this bum… is one of the greatest injustices of football.
Leave it to caseymatthews….
DEFENSE!!! defense!!! DEFENSE!!!
..
“Not feeling good about this win”??? We just stepped on the throats of the Giants…0-5 is the equivalent of divisional sodomy!!!!! In my best Andy voice “ok, enjoy the win man”……we haven’t won a game in 3 weeks and we are complaining that it ain’t pretty?
..
We beat the Giants because of our young QB and our young defenders!!!!!!
Game isn’t over, man. Seriously, this is the Eagles we’re talking about…
In the infamous words of the scholarly intellectual poet also known as ice cube….”Today was a Good day”
..
CURRY!!!!!!
that sucks, we downed them at the 1 inch line.
I predicted 34-24 Birds…close enough after being wrong for 3 weeks lol
I don’t watch the birds with rose colored glasses on.
goddamn, huge penalties there, 20 yards of field position lost and now they arent on their own goal line.
Lol we beat the giants because of Eli manning being on our team
Yeah our defense had nothing to do with it…thanks for a day of valuable contributions of negativity
I don’t understand Eli. On any given Sunday he can look like the best quarterback in the NFL or the worst, and this season it’s been all the latter. How did this guy win two Super Bowls?
He didn’t renew his contract with Satan.
Vinny!
Vinny Curry sighting!
Curry!
Billy davis is f-ing up. Why is curry only playing now? We have no pressure all day and we put VC in and manning losing like 10yds + the grounding.
Jim Washburn 2.0
I saw Curry in on a few snaps in the 1st half, but I dont know the exact count.
Bd sucks
Nice position by Allen!
BennIe!
Sacks, interceptions and fumbles! Maybe the D will start playing with more confidence, even if the Giants really are that bad.
I really hope chip takes it down for another TD.
WHEW!!! just got back to the house, what’d i miss?!
3 quarters of ugly, then defense started picking it up — 3 picks. Celek finally makes a catch.
sounds about right
It was pretty dramatic, momentum see-sawed back and forth several times. Giants jumped out early, then we won the 2nd quarter, then the Giants came back, then we came back, then the Giants looked like they were going to take the lead, then Eli threw a bad pick, then we buried them and now the game is over.
Vinny is killing them! Bennie got the sack but….
Yeah Curry forced him up when he beat the tackle off the edge.
yeah, he should play more.
I get that they don’t want to risk getting McCoy hurt and save wear-and-tear on him.. but is Bryce Brown the best guy to be giving the ball to in a “closer” situation? I’d much rather see Polk carrying it here, cuts down on the chances of a “miracle at the Meadowlands”.
Yeah I was wondering about that as well. Guess the coaches are putting some trust in him. He hasn’t really had fumble issues so far this year.
Tommy, you writing the victory wrap yet?
Time to pour ourselves a drink and salute the Eagles – The D NEVER GAVE UP!!!
GAME BALL?
Nick Foles
Is there any doubt? If there is any then maybe Boykins.
Brandon Boykin.
But those penalties?
Both, perhaps?
Can’t win if you don’t score
Both sounds good!
I think I’d mostly have to go with the defense getting those late turnovers. Short fields leads to nice daggers for the offense.
Really?
Hmm.
Without the points, the turnovers mean nothing — especially since the Eagles were losing in the 4th Q.
You can’t really take it away from the D. Given how they’ve been playing 3 short field turnovers is epic from them. That said Foles did put it in the end zone, which is great.
Except for a few drives in the third quarter there, Foles played really well and saved the offense’s bacon after Vick got hurt and the rushing attack stalled. I think I’d go with Boykin for the game ball though. Penalties aside, he authored the two biggest defensive plays of the game by forcing that pop up that Kendricks picked off and then making that diving play to steal that interception from Cruz. Those were both big time NFL playmaker type plays.
It’s what you do with TOs that matters just as much.
Give them both a beer and an ball.
Someone get Kiwanuka a tampon.
Please don’t take a knee…please score a td.
Chip got bailed out today by a young QB/Djax and a young defense….did not like the play calling…looked like Andy stubborn throw it at all costs…taking what the defense gives you, attacking weaknesses are great…but you also have to impose your will at times and dictate to the defense, which I’m not seeing lately
..
But if I have patience for young defenders, then I have to have it for Chip….what makes it’d youth for Chip is our division is so weak that it gets fans competitive juices flowing, when in reality Chip definitely needs ATleast an entire season to adjust
I really don’t know what to think. I’m ok passing since our run game is getting stuffed, but offense didn’t look great. Defense is terrible to watch, but we got a bunch of picks. Foles looks good — obviously helped by the short field, but we scored TDs so i’m happy.
wonder what foles qb rating is
Nick Foles: 16 of 25 for 197 yards, 2 TDs, no INTs, 114.9 rating. According to Jeff McClane’s tweet.
Who would have thought we would have a positive turnover differential with this D?
I really hope B. Davis doesn’t think he’s doing something right — unless he starts playing curry more.
The corners weren’t playing off so much on those last drives. Maybe he’s learning!
Re: Halftime
Jimmy Johnson is no fool.
Eli walking onto the field with some EPIC Manning Face going on at the end there.
1st place atop the division! Enjoy the week all. Tampa next and dare I say Chip’s first winning streak?
Cowboys week coming soon. 🙂
Sundays are more fun when we win.
The whole WEEK is more fun when we win!
I’m excited I can watch SportsCenter again!
Now time to watch the Cowboys get stomped by Denver.
Uh-oh, you jinxed them!
So 20 of our 36 points came with Foles at QB. Not bad.
Well having a short field because of manning turn overs help
Yeah, but they still have to go through the red zone to score.
What about when you 1st-and-goal at the 7?
Is that not a short field?
It’s not like the Eagles were grinding out 17-play drives with Vick.
Let’s just enjoy the win. We were winning with Vick in the first half, Foles completed a comeback and played like a starting QB (thank god). Team win.
D showed at the end. I really hope the team builds a lot of confidence coming out of this game bc we didn’t have any going in.
Yay time to have a victory drink
Problem is with Foles no run game, but pass game is better — red zone is better. Vick has run game, but not red zone, apparently only ok passing. I think Foles might have a better touch ball — pretty pass to Celek.
So Vick gets us to the red zone, then we send in Foles?
platoon method! Lets do it!
So, anyone know any good Giants boards I can troll?
I want to demand to see Ryan Nassib.
Big Blue View?
They are actually good people over there for Giants fans. They can take some fun and smack talk as long as you are respectful
Boy they need to go on suicide watch over there. I almost feel bad for them!
Supermarkets are reporting a shortage of paper bags!
Re: Foles v. Boykin
Boykin made a couple of key plays, for sure.
But consider Foles. He came into this game at the end of the 1st half down inside the 10 or so. And gets the team close enough for a FG going in at the half.
In the 2nd half, he takes full advantage of the TOs with a pair of beautiful TD throws.
And led the Eagles to a 4th Q come-from-behind victory. That’s what the record shows.
Foles — unlike Boykin — hasn’t been playing every week. Or taking more than a few 1st-team reps, if any.
Plus, NO turnovers by Foles, despite the handicaps.
Foles came in cold after 4 games on the bench except for 4+ minutes of garbage time.
A great game for the kid
Did you catch Foles quickly stashing the #7 Voodoo doll under the bench when his number was called?
The humor is always has a grain of underlying truth.
Foles won the game ball. And a round of applause.
We lost all momentum in the 2nd half on the road, and our back up young gunner stepped up, and beat a Rival on the road, throwing the entire time with little help from shady…How many reps could FOles have really gotten in practice?..
..
We laugh it off because the giants suck, but we were 1-3 with a new coach, and this inexperienced kid came in cold and saved the sky from falling…
…
Why can’t we just give this damn kid some experience and seasoning? He is flawed but he has more MOXY than Romo showed in 90 NFL starts…I just don’t get it…develope the damn kid. What do we hav to lose? Mike Vick? Who gets hurt untouched in week 5? WTF!!!!
We need to savor this victory and salute the Eagles. Tomorrow we can argue who the QB starter should be. Foles did a fine job as did the D in the 4th quarter. There is a lot to celebrate and a lot to fix!
Cowboys are about to go up 14-0 in the broncos game.
The Broncos are employing the Eagles defense where no one is near the receivers.
Also included 3 rushers and 1 blitzer from the slot.
Right now, the Giants are the 1968 Eagles. You had to be there. Hurt a lot.
We we get Peyton as OC? Wonder if he’d automatically be the best on out there.
