Livefyre Broadcast NYG vs. Philadelphia Eagles --- Smart Phans Call the Action...
I'm about an hour south of the stadium in Philly as the players are going through their pre-game workouts. It's raining steadily here, but not a downpour... about 60 degrees F., a good temperature for football. It's possible this game will be played under wet conditions, which in my mind would favor the Eagles style of offense.
Now it's time for the most knowledgeable NFL fans in the world to take over the in-game commentary. Me, I just keep the stats...and worry. The Philly fans who come here from all over the USA, Canada, Great Britain, France and Australia will hold your hand the rest of the way.
Forecast: Mostly cloudy with a 40 percent chance of showers. High of 66 degrees (weather.com)
David Weinberg's pick: Eagles bounce back with a strong performance. Eagles 24, Giants 21 (season record: 1-2)
Eagles' best-case scenario: They rebound from a terrible performance in Arizona to beat one of their biggest rivals. Former safety Brian Dawkins delivers a stirring pregame speech to the team. The offensive line allows Vick time to throw three TD passes and no interceptions. Running back LeSean McCoy rushes for 100 yards and a TD. Cornerbacks Nnamdi Asomugha and Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie each intercept Giants quarterback Eli Manning.
Notable numbers: Giants lead series 83-75-2, but Eagles have won 7 of last 8 meetings. ... Vick is 3-2 all-time against the Giants, 2-1 with the Eagles. ... McCoy has rushed for more than 100 yards three times in the last four meetings. ... Eagles coach Andy Reid is 16-13 against the Giants. ... Giants coach Tom Coughlin is 9-9 against the Eagles. ... Eagles are 30-21 in prime-time games under Reid. ... Giants are 5-5 at Lincoln Financial Field.
Okay... Let's roll...
One development I just cant figure out - what happened to Dion Lewis? I mean I'm glad that Brown is coming along (had a nice run tonight) but I was hoping to see some split backfield looks with Dion splitting out . . . we could use an extra target
Bwah ha haR ....I hope she had fun!!
BUT I am sure poor little Greenbay QB Harrell has NO confidence left after tripping and fumbling on his only play EVER...
Funny....SAD.... build a bridge and get over it
Hey I thought I saw Didi 'Frenchie' Conn in the Crowd today.... pulling faces and trying to swallow bad coffee....
Well I think it was coffee....
maybe pride...you knows

Next draft's gotta be OL heavy wiff a safety (depth/challenge KILLA), A corner (priority depends on retaining DRC/Aso's play), a developmental QB and maybe a wideout...

Was it just me?........or was the special teams really missing Akeem Jordan? Still, the coverage on kickoffs was awful...................average kickoff return was a little over 36 yards!!!!!! Wilson also had over 200 yards total.

@Kenemeka @Blasphemizer Both played much better in the second half. Don't know what adjustments were made at halftime........but it worked.

@dutchrubb @Kenemeka Exactly, they kept chip blocking JPP with the backs and TEs, lol, Havili got him good one time, made his lip bleed. Osi ran himself out of several plays, he was getting ate up by McCoy and Vick on the edge.

@Kenemeka Think they gave Bell more help..........maybe ATV can watch his coaches replay thing and figure that out.

For to say Havili has had a good season and has earned himself more plays. I almost joined the band that was willing to cut him from TC

I scratched my head when we ran the ball three times at the goal-line and couldnt punch it in. I wanted to see Polk drive straight up the gut.
