isleseeya Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Okay , i posted a few times ane even started a separate Giant - Philly thread which was quite tame To be totally honest , i believe the Giants loss to the eagles the last time they played was a little flukey ...Eagles were in desperation mode and played that way ...Giants were slumping a bit and had the whole Plexico thing hanging over their head ( that was the first game right after the shooting that dragged not only Plexico down but Antonio Pierce and i think the whole team ) ...throw in the fact that Jacobs left that game before the half and never came back and it was a prime game for giants to lose Now the Giants are rested , Jacobs will be ready to play , they will have home field advantage and i believe they beat the Eagles ... I admit that containing Westbrook is the key ( if they dont they will have problems ) but i fully believe the Giant Defense will play a great game ( much like they did through first part of the season ) ...and if its cold and windy ( Giant Stadium windy ) , the Eagles will be more effected than the Giants ...Giants can run the ball , period ... if they run like they should that means less for Eli to do but it also means Donovan and Eagles should struggle ..i dont believe westbrook runs on giants this time at all and Eagles will rely on pass which may not work I definitely believe its a tough game but Giants win 23-17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSab Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 I think it will be great game. it depend on what Philly team show up. The offense that played dalls or the pass majority Andy Rreid special. All in all should be a good game. NFC east Style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westhemess2 Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 great run offense vs a great run defense. defense wins. period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The offense that played dalls or the pass majority Andy Rreid special. All in all should be a good game. NFC east Style. I think it depends a lot on the weather too. I would think a cold windy game would benefit the Giants. Right now it looks good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westhemess2 Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 i disagree about the weather. the eagles play in cold windy weather aswell. i feel it doesnt benefit either team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zooty Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 I thought the Giants win was flukey If they think A. Pierce can cover Westbrook again (not that he did last time) they might as well stay home. Plax is gone and he really the only reason the Giants won any games vs us the last couple years. If I was you I'd be really worried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isleseeya Posted January 6, 2009 Author Share Posted January 6, 2009 A healthy plax with his head on straight performing at a level like he did last year during playoffs would be a huge and added bonus ...but Giants did extremely well first 10 games of this year with a totally ineffective , unproductive plax ....actually Giants looked better for most of this year than they did even at end of last year Westbrook will need to catch about 15 passes to be ultra effective if he can't run the ball ( see first giant - eagle game this season ) and I believe he won't be able to run effectively this week either I think a nice healthy dose of brandon jacobs will soften up any run defense ...the Giants put 300 yards on the ground vs carolina and over 200 on the stoutest of defenses in Baltimore ravens , I am pretty sure they will be able to run on the eagles I also believe a strong cold wind does hurt eagles ( or any qb for that matter ) and favors the team that can run the ball better We all know its gonna be one heck of a battle regardless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plax is gone The Giants LBs can't cover Westbrook and he's healthier than last time. BJ is still slowed by the knee, non-factor. And Ward isn't the same as a full-time guy Wind, ehh, we'll see but if your counting on the weather to keep you in the game that's a bad sign It was a nice run for you guys but everything has to end.

isleseeya Posted January 6, 2009 Author Share Posted January 6, 2009 I love it zooty ..... Fans on both sides throwing out some smack and getting ready for the game I know one thing I am sure all of will have some nice knots in our stomach right before game starts P.S. Westy's knee is sore today ( reported in rotonews ) and jacobs is feeling better than he did a few weeks back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

i_am_the_swammi Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 i disagree about the weather. the eagles play in cold windy weather aswell. i feel it doesnt benefit either team +1 and actually, McNabb has a much stronger arm than Manning...if its windy, it hurts Manning's ability to throw the out-route much more than McNabb. Samuel will be licking his chops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samuel will be licking his chops. agreed on Mcnabb vs Manning ...but Giants should be planning and likely succeeding running the ball ...may be a lot less need for manning to throw than Mcnabb I dont see Westbrook having anywhere near the game he had last time they played a few weeks at Giants stadium ...i also beleive Tuck and Mcnabb will become good friends during this game Edited January 6, 2009 by isleseeya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they can stop a healthy AP with 7 men, I think they can slow the weak-kneed Jacobs down. People have chided the Eagles all year at their lack of a big-time WR...they have overcome. While Burress wasn't productive early in the year, the threat caused defenses to account for him. Now he's gone, and the Giants are 1-3 since. Teams are loading up, and teeing off. Get ready for another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weak armed Eli ? ...Eli is not chad pennington ...and Boss , Hixon , Toomer and Steve Smith are more than capable of producing in passing game Vikings have a good run offense but Giants have a better one ( that is rested on top of that ) ...and for all the slowing down of AP they did he still had 2 td's and was not far off from hitting 100 yards and can AP do this : Freight Train !

TDFFFreak Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Home field advantage and 2+ weeks of rest are the reason the Giants should win this game. If the Giants had the same amount of rest as the Eagles and was played on a neutral site, I think the Eagles would have a very good chance at winning this game.

isleseeya Posted January 9, 2009 Author Share Posted January 9, 2009 The Giants are supposed to win. They should win. If they don't their whole season is a disappointment. i disagree as would most Giant fans While Giants won the SB last year with an improbable amazing run , coming into this season there was no guarantees Strahan retired . Umineyora was lost for season before season started ...tougher schedule than last year , improved NFC East fact Giants went 12-4 , with basically no help from Plax other week 1 and 3 i believe and the fact they won NFC East and home field advantage throughout makes this a very good season so far it just gets much better and much more successful with a win Sunday and chance to win NFC tilte following week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
