Giants talk

[shorebird]

the worst was last year i had to go to Jersey City the monday after the Eagles blew the big league in week 2 last year, i got abused all day...it was not pretty.

I know how you feel. I listened to crap all last Monday.

[ice grillin you]

i know many of each and there is simply not a comparison btwn giant and taterskin fans as far as douchebaggery

in fact of all the ny teams the giants fans are the least annoying (islanders dont count)...mostly because the team isnt a nyc team its a nj team with connecticut fans

as for the game right now i have absolutely no feeling one way or another...its exactly 50/50 as to whether the eagles will win or not

I think the Eagles take this one.

If the offense comes to play... it could get to look a little like the Lions game.  Their secondary is that bad.  I expect Burress to get his like he always does against us, but again... if the Eagles are on... they won't be able to keep up on the scoring.  Eli will make enough mistakes to keep them at bay.

Call me crazy, but I'm starting to believe in the D-line and the run defense a little too so I think they'll be able to limit Ward enough to keep his gains minimal.  This ain't Tiki anymore, afterall.

Here's my take:

Eagles must dominate this game and win by at least 10 for me to consider them a legit team.
If they keep the Giants in it and squeak it out and/or lose outright, they suck, should trade McNabb, fire Reid, and tank to get a better draft pick.

The thing is that this game should be a mirror image of the Detroit game because the Giants' defense is just as bad. Does anyone actually think that the Eagles will drop 50, or 40 or even 35 this week? No.

This game will come down to special teams. All 3 Giants receivers have a big day and Reggie Brown gets 2 TD's. High scoring game with Akers coming in at the end.

No way.  30+ would be a coup.

Andy always gets his team motivated for games right before bye weeks...

Every division game is tight no matter how crappy the teams are. It will be a cloase one. Keep Burress doubled. Keep Manning pressured and we're good.

Burress will probably light our defense up. He's equally good going deep or running short routes and slants, getting big yards after the catch. There isn't anyone on this D that can cover him one on one, and he beats double coverage a lot. Then there is Shockey. If he keeps his head and doesn't get any dumb ass penalties, he could burn our linebackers. Manning still will rattle fairly easy, I want to see this line knock him on his ass a few times, pressure him into throwing a pick or two. Also, it will be interesting to see if the D has continued succsess against the run. Force Manning to pass and blitz the shtein outta' him.

We have to run the ball and control the clock, keep Manning and Burress off the field as much as possible. It's almost that simple.

lol


the key is the d line pressure...manning is a bitch...a little pressure and hell be blindly winging up ducks as he turns away from the rush...on the other hand no pass rush means hell pick apart the d like he did in the 2nd half of the opener last year

hopefully Cole and Thomas keep it up. Put Kearse in as a blitzing LB up the middle. Maybe even activate Victor, cant be any worse than Kearse at end.

i want kearse covering burress

i want kearse covering burress

Why not?  It would be impossible to do a worse job on Burress than the Eagles have in the past.
