We might see Moss, Manningham, and my favorite, Tollefson?

they are showing this game in Berkeley and I also get to see MeSean. Hope our corners embarass him.

but not againts the iggles or the girls. GO GMEN

Papa and the TV synced up

to this one. We’ll see where it goes. The Manningham reverse backfired, that’s for sure.

Maybe they were testing the waters earlier to see the response from the Eagle’s D.

I don’t think I’ve seen a toss play from shotgun.

2 and 1, two consecutive sweeps….brilliant, dont we have the biggest RB in the league?

Time to go back to jacobs. The Beast is made for bad weather

Hixon dropped that like it was an Anthrax sample or something.

I just don’t like the feel of this game so far.

you’re right Ed

except for the barrage of “they cant with w/o Burress” stories sure to follow, but it could refocus them like after cleveland

the Giants has played all year.

Can’t get it done on offense. Specials to rescue! That was huge.

hilarious!

oh man, was he excited

A game-changing play right there. And, yes, TC still has some wheels! LOL

That play at the end of the half was great, but we still aren’t getting any pressure on McNabb, and we still haven’t done squat offensively. So I hope that didn’t just serve to mask what has actually been a pretty putrid performance today so far.

But, I still don’t like the way this is playing out.

4 and 1, lets pass.

Why the spread on 4th and 1? This looks like loss No. 2.

for the record, for any of you who saw my “blowout” comment .. i am an idiot to underestimate the eagles.

that was the turning point of the game.

That’s my bright spot today. That she knows wtf she’s talking about. When we got marreid 5 years ago she had no idea what a football was.

In fact, it might be good to get this out of our system and refocus. I was starting to worry – in the same way that Alan Greenspan was worried about the US paying off the national debt back in 2001 (ha ha) – that we would clinch the home field and have 3 weeks with nothing to do but stay fresh. Next week’s game is actually going to be pretty important now. I’d hate to have to go into that last week not having sown anything up yet.

I heard he is being considered somewhere. Man, our 4th and one was just as bad as the Eagles one last time we played them.

listening to Russ Salzberg speaking about Snausages dawg snacks fa dawgs makes me feel like I neva left Noo Yawk.

a letdown game at home, in December, against a division opponent? what a suprrise!

but seriously, no need for the tin foil hats. Philly was the desperate team today, and it showed. however, just like the Cleveland game, this loss can be beneficial in the long-run. i think what everyone realized after today’s game is that as far as Eli has come, Gilbride needs to realize that running the ball is the best option when there are wind gusts over 70 mph. the game reminded me of last year’s matchup with Washington, a lot – especially the 4th and 1 spread play (yikes). since the Giants are likely heading for a bye and a divisional game at home, let’s hope Mother Nature throws us a bone.

also, this team will miss Plax. i like the way Smith, Hixon, etc. have stepped up, but with Plax the Giants probably win the game. he absolutely shreds the Eagles.

hope for the following things: 1) the Eagles don’t make a miracle run to the playoffs (highly unlikely with games at Washington and vs. Dallas remaining, 2) Cowboys lose today and an NFC South team (Carolina? Atlanta?) somehow beats them out for the Wild Card spots, 3) Carolina wins Monday Night (they have a tougher road than TB – DEN, @NYG, @NO), 4) AP doesn’t go to jail.

go Giants.

Romo can’t win the big games…..

Two more regular season goals then, bye and home field, though I’m not so sure if home field is really that great for us!

Since I didn’t get the game here in SC. I have figured out a pretty good setup. I set my desktop to Giants.com and put on my wireless headphones. Then I go to the other room and watch whatever I can get locally on my bigscreen, sometimes using picture in picture to watch two games on low volume while I listen to Bob and Carl on the headphones. Believe it or not after a few weeks of doing that I am starting to assimilate everything and it has become a peasant experience for me.

Except of course when we lose……

By the way, Carl banks is an excellent color man. He makes a lot of incredibly unbiased and insightful comments leading me to believe he needs to be on our sideline coaching.
