No one is saying they suck because of one game.

The sky isn’t falling because of one game…..its because the offence has been dreadful over 3 games.

Its because they’ve scored under 20 pts 2x.

Its because they’re the lowest scoring team in the NFL over the first 3 games.

Its because we’re number 1 in only one category – turnovers – over the first 3 games.

I agree with you on one point….I think the Giants will struggle to score 20…..but with an average of 15.7 pts/game so far…..why do you think the Eagles will suddenly do better with the same QB running the show?

Look – after the Cleveland game I said that the Balt game was a make or break game for Vick….if he lost it would signal the end. He did break. Played poorly, but they still won. Then he played worse in Ariz……how will he respond with his career hanging on this game?

And, at this point, he has to know his career is hanging on this game…..hno coach in the league can keep rolling out a QB who has ben playing the way Vick has…unless its a rookie of course…..

BTW – I actually think its possible Vick will have a good game this week – why do I think that – who knows….he drops his patented “fools gold” game a couple times a season. Giants have a vulnerable secondary….its possible. But if he does, still count me as a card carrying member of the “don’t believe the hype!” club…..

The Eagles were caught flat between a big win against a top five team and a Sunday night showdown with their biggest rival. Now they suck and the sky is falling. And the Giants are great. They looked like ASS for seven quarters. They woke up and beat a dogshit Tampa team at the last minute and Carolina team with a swiss cheese defense that everyone over rated because they thought Cam Newton was the next Warren Moon. They suck!
The Eagles will prove that their defense is for real Sunday Night. The Giants won’t score twenty points. Andy will run the ball because he has to. Nice game for Bryce Brown. Eagles win. I love how people have it all figured out in September. We’re talking about pre-season part two September football. Not November. Not December. September football. Vegas is laughing while that line keeps dropping.

I hate the NY F’ing Giants but I would trade their personell and FO for Ours everyday of the week and twice on Sundays.

Every year I watch as The team I love plays like a bunch of Pansy A$$ PU$$IES trying to trick the other team (Andy YOU SUCK) and play finesse football. Then I watch a team I LOATHE (NYG) play like GROWN MEN and exert their will. How many times did we know that Bradshaw was gonna run it and bang 7 yards anyway. Andy Reid and Co cant wash Tom Coughlin’s shorts. Do we really want to hold on to MIRACLE Punt returns as time expires. (that was cool) I want a team that just manhandles the other team and takes Victory…Unfortunately I have a team whose QB’s best asset is his ability to run (Just say that outloud in a mirror), our WR are the size of most small cornerbacks, Our TE (Who is a beast) can not go out for a pass because our Oline needs help blocking for 10 seconds everyplay (DUh, and yes exagerating). Match up problems with the Champs Noooooo! The eagles are only in the running to be the NFC East Chumps! AND I CANT STAND IT!!!!!

You have to limit the number of passes to keep the risk lower.

He’s a pass junkie. Will do it till he ODs. The only question is, did he OD last week enough to lay off this week? I have my doubts.

They will hang in there but without a lead given to them by their offense,they are still too susceptible to big pass plays, dumb penalities on 3rd Downs and still need to sure up their Red-Zone Defense.. It’s improved quite a bit from last years qquad in tackling, but I dtill see big holes to run thru and big pass plays of 20Yards +

Giants 27
Eagles 17
