Eagles vs Giants LIVE BLOG

Already a pit in my stomach for the most likely scenario....

Keep in mind...the first 2 sundays in september features Phillies wins and Eagles losses...last sunday...Phils lost to the nats and the Eagles destroyed the lions...

So today, I'm guessing (as the phils have clinched the division) the eagles get crushed and...Brian Dawkins...dies?!

A huge NFC EAST Divisional game for both of these teams tonight. 2-2 in this division is a whole lot better than 1-3.

Brian Westbrook is out for tonight's game. So you may indeed have a point, JutMSY4

The Chargers are dead last in the NFC West. Norv Turner has to be the worst head coach this side of Rich Kotite.

The game is under way. Reuben Droughns downs it in the end zone.

Manning nearly has it picked off by Quentin Michael.

Well let's review. I put one foot in my mouth about the Lions today. And another about the Cardinals. Hopefully I will not have to decide between my left or right arm should McNabb tank today.

3RD AND 20. A screen to Derrick Ward that goes for 6 yards. 3 and out in their first possession.

Holding by the Eagles on the punt. 1st and 20.

How about those Seahawks? The 49ers this, the 49ers that, 23-3 is your final.

Immediate pressure on Mcnabb by Antonio Pierce. Incomplete pass.

And the Chargers? 1-3 with a loaded team like that? Weird start to the NFL season.

3 yard pass to Reggie Brown. His 6th catch of the year, ugh.

McNabb is going to get pounded.

Mcnabb is sacked by Justin Tuck, who is an up and coming star in my view. 3 and out for the Eagles. Impressive start by the Giants D.

Amani Toomer drops a sure completion. 2nd down.

Off play action, a catch by Amani Toomer. 1ST DOWN.

Ward goes for a gain of 5 on 2nd down. 3rd and 5,

Completion to Toomer for a gain of 6. They're going after Sheldon Brown. 1st down.

Manning completes to Plaxico Burress who was guarded again by Sheldon Brown. 1st down at the 33.

Ward catches a dunk from Eli for a gain of 10. 1st down at the 23 yard line. Giants on the move.

Burress catches a quick out for 5 yards to the Giants 18. I like the play calling by Gilbride.

Ward goes for a gain of 4. 3RD AND 1.

Reuben Droughns is stuffed in the backfield by Mike Patterson. Droughns does not run hard enough at all. And then Lawrence Tynes pushed the FG attempt wide left. The Giants get 0 on that drive. 0-0 still in the 1st.

did you see it... first "coughlin face" of the night after the missed field goal. you know the one where he looks out onto the field like he's confused about what just happened

Michael Johnson makes a decent play in the backfield for no gain.,

Delayed handoff to Correll Buckhaler fot a gain of 12. 1st down.

It's amazing to see how Jon Runyan is dominating Michael Strahan the past few years after Strahan made him look like crap in the divisional game in their Super Bowl year.

A sack by Osi Umeniyora!! Eagles to punt again and Mcnabb is unhappy.

25 yard punt. Giants ball.

McNabb can't make the pocket plays he used to...can't stay in the pocket too long McNabb...make a choice...

I've decided to quit my job and play QB for the Bears.

Manning is sacked by the Freak, Jevon Kearse.

Derrick Ward catches an out route for a gain of 10.

Defensive holding by William James, the player formally known as Will Peterson.

End of the 1st quarter, 0-0.

Incomplate pass to Plaxico Burress, who should have had that one.

Why bother showing this game? Why not just show 3 hours of John Madden stalking Brett Favre? "Brett Favre is Brett Favre who is Brett Favre and plays just like Brett Favre because he is Brett Favre and he cannot help but be Brett Favre and who would've thought there ever would be a Brett Favre..."

Darren Howard tips the ball at the line. Giants to punt and another Tom Coughlin look. Priceless.

Mcnabb airs it out but overshoots Reggie Brown.

1 yard gain by Buckhalter.

Did Philly bring their O-line to this game or are were they left behind to celebrate with the Phillies?

Osi Umeniyora again with a sack!!!

SNF next week had to be: Chicago @ Green Bay.

Toomer makes a catch and gets to the Eagle 33 and then makes another at the 14 yard line, Toomer with a good night so far.

This game is an insult to my eyes.

YEAH BABY!! TD GIANTS!

Burress with a TD Catch using a 6"5 inch height accordingly. It's a 7-0 lead for the Giants.

Sheldon Brown has been picked on all night long by Kevin Gilbride.

<--- Wonders when the refs will call holding on David Diehl....

J.R Reid returns it to the 32. Holding call will bring it back to the 22. 7-O Giants. The Eagles offense has been lackluster, perhaps they have champange bottles popping after the Phillies victory.

that Plaxico can play some ball. great catch

Correll Buckhalter goes for about 2 yards. The Eagles are really missing Brian Westbrook.

Mcnabb with a false start.

A first down off a little dink to Reno Mahe. Umeniyora should have had sack #3.

Mcnabb completes a pass to Celex for a 1st down.

History has been made as Strahan breaks the Giants sack record. And then a first down off a rush to Reno Mahe.

A screen to Correll Buckhalter for 7 yards. 3rd and 3.

Nice toss to Buckhalter for a gain of 7 yards.

The Detroit Lions are 3-1 and the Chargers are 1-3, Hell has frozen over.

Pierce bats a pass down. Excellent pressure by the D.

David Akers botches the FG, Giants D is still pitching a shutout.

Madison Hedgecock {what a name} with a catch for a gain of 9.

Derrick Ward with a 1st down to the Eagles 44. And then a 15 yd personal foul by Omar Gaither, Eagles are losing their composure.

2;00 warning. 3rd and 7.

Oh screw it... This crew is biased...

Offsides on the Eagles again. A little ants in their pants perhaps from the celebration of the Phillies win.

Ward goes for a first down to the Giants 14.

Guess it doesn't matter though!!!

Interception by Omar Gaither on a pass intended for Shockey. Omar takes it to the Giant 45. Another priceless Coughlin look.

The new tackle is a bit...well new...

Another false start and there's no sense of urgency for the Eagles to go down the field despite the fact they've been giving new life.

And everyone is still asking me

"Since you've lived in boston for the past 4 years, why don't you just switch"

and sometimes i wonder why too...

Osi Umeniyora gets to Donovan Mcnabb again and strips the football away, recovered by the Eagles. Umeniyora's having a huge game and the Eagles O need to wake the heck up. They are not into this game at all.

As an aside, I never thought I'd see the day that Jose Reyes would get booed mercilessly.

A.J Smith should be F-I-R-E-D. Anyone that thought Norv Turner was going to get the Chargers over the top must be on crystal meth. And we are seeing the ugly side of Philip Rivers right now.

2nd half underway. Derris Wilkerson levels J-R Reid.

The Eagles mustered only 84 rushing yards. I think the Eagles banked on the fact that Westbrook would play tonight. Maybr they don't have a Plan B.

apparently face-masking is legal again?

Kiwanuka gets to Donovan Mcnabb as this O-Line continues to be the O-No line tonight,

Manning overshoots Jeremy Shockey. 2nd down.

Personal Foul on Takeo Spikes. 15 yards. The Eagles are killing themselves with penalties.

Miscommunication on 3rd and 9. Incomplete intended for Burress. An awful play call by Gilbride.

Corey Webster downs it at the 1 yard line. Jeff Feagles delivers again!!

Mcnabb throws to Reggie Brown near the sidelines. A gain of 6.

Umeniyora might break the Giants sack record before this game is over. Another sack. Winston Justice is having a nightmare of a game and he was praised by Madden earlier for being a good blocker.

Derrick Ward goes for a gain of 6.

3 and out for the Giants O. They have not done a good job either tonight. Punt by Feagles is downed ar the 4 yard line. Feagles delivers...again.

Cameron Diaz is there!!! Woopee di-do!!

Kiwanuka again gets to Mcnabb. 8 sacks for the Giants D.

Reggie Brown makes a half-assed effort to catch that one. What has held Mcnabb back in his career is that he hasn't had the best receiving corps in the world.

Finally, Shockey graces us with his presence in this game. A gain of 17. First down.

Pass interference on the deep route to Toomer. The player formally known as Will Peterson is guilty.

3RD AND GOAL at the Giants 10. A quick pass to Burress to avoid the corner blitz. Lawrence Tynes converts the FG. It is 10-0 in a pretty ugly game so far.

Update from the powers of be...

Our rants and raves can now include the words "damn", "bullshit" and "asshole".

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

This Giants D, although it's not among the elite yet has improved greatly over the psat 2 weeks.

Illegal Formation- Another penalty for the Eagles. 13 for the night.

MCNABB FUMBLES THE SNAP!! KAWIKA MITCHELL PICKS IT UP AND GOES INTO THE END ZONE FOR A TD!!!

YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!!! Eagles look horrible...

That fumble from Donovan McNabb was bullshit.

Yhe Eagles are challenging the call claiming that Mitchell was down by contact.

These refs are out to screw the Eagles. Bullcrap facemask penalties. But Winston Justice might be the worst player I've seen all year. The guy can't even get in the way of the Giants defensive ends. I'm giving the Giants zero credit. Eagles are missing 5 starters, 4 of whom are All-Pros. It's not McNabb's fault tonight, that's for sure. No TE, no Westbrook.

I wish the Eagles were playing the Lions again...

It looks like Mitchell was off the ground before he was touched....and the refs agree. TD!!

it stands... damnbulshitasshole

This referee is an asshole.

Apparently we suck...

In other news...Philadelphia is in the MLB playoffs...

and the Giants lost to the eagles in last year's playoffs...

cant even kick a PAT and the Eagles are loosing

Lawrence Tynes misses the extra point. If I were a Giant fan, I'd be a little worried about Tynes. I don't know if I could count on him in a big spot.

What is really sad, is that every time they punt/kick us the ball, I am not saying "I hope he takes it back." I find myself saying "God please hold onto the ball!!!"

Not even this perfomance as brutal as it is by the Eagles can damper a Philly's native day right now. 16-0 Giants at the end of 3.

Tom Coughlin always has an expression like he just ate a load of shit.

That is a redundant repot by Andrea Kremer. Don't most assistant coaches go over plays with the defense by pictures being taken? I've only been seeing it my entire life!!

When does Andrea Kremer ever have a point?

Mcnabb is hit by Aaron Ross for an icnomplete pass. And then a screen that looks awful. Just like their performance. AW-FUL.

Amother sack and it's Justin Tuck again. His 2nd of the night.

If the US Women's Soccer Team don't want her, can we please have Hope Solo on the sideline instead of Kremer? Puhhhleaseee?

The Eagles clearly were ill-prepared to play a game without Brian Westbrook. You have to be prepared for all sorts of scenarios if you're a head coach.

Is that Joe Buck banging on the broadcast booth door demanding to call this game?

Akers with a clutch 53 yard field goal. And it'a 16-3 Giants. A 2-TD game with that missed PAT looming large.

A play action pass to Michael Matthews who's hit hard by William James aka Will Peterson

A penalty for the Giants for once. And by a WR. Sinorice Moss.

The Giants 0 is keeping the Eagles in this game with their inepr 3 and outs.

How does Kawika Mitchell drop that!!!!

Imagine if McNabb were sacked this many times in a game played in Philly....

Eagles offensive line has put on a clinic... "What not to do" - Winston Justice

Osi Umeniyora is having a night to remember 5 SACKS!! 11 in all for the Giants. The Eagles aren't even adjusting to what they're getting. You would think they give Winston Justice some help on his side guarding Umeniyora in order for max protection of Mcnabb.

Nice game plan by Eagles offense. Ever hear of giving help to a tackle? I know Tre Thomas is out, but Winston Justice is just a putrid player. 13 penalties for Eagles. Madden is shilling for the Giants, but he always does that if you notice. Whoever is winning the game, he goes overboard with praise.

Giants to punt with 6:47 left.

The Eagles needed to come out with those ugly uniforms for the 2nd half. No wonder the Lions give up 56 points last week. Those uniforms blinded them.

Now they put someone on Winston Justice's side. That adjusttent should have been made from Jump street.

1st down on a draw by Mcnabb. They need to hurry up now.

Mcnabb in a bit of a groove now. 1st down to the 33.

Buckhalter gets to the 16 yard line and the Eagles are coming alive.

Mcnabb was beyond the line of scrimmage when he threw the ball. Way beyond. This sums up the night for the Eagles in a nutshell.

I can just see the headline.... "No Justice for Helpless McNabb"

I choose my left arm....

I don't understand why the Eagles just left Justice by himself to get embarrassed by the Giants.

Umeniyora again!!!!!! The Giants have sacked Mcnabb an NFL record 12 times. This is a disgrace by the Eagles coaching staff to not give a clearly overmatched Winston Justice some help. Mcnabb was never able to get in a rhythm. An awful coaching job y Reid and his staff.

The record of 12 sacks tonight by the Giants even though it was an outstanding defensive performance was more due to the coaching staff not making any adjustments to a CLEAR MISMATCH!!

And that is it. 16-3 Giants over the Eagles. Giants even their record at 2-2 while the Eagles fall to 1-3

I feel sorry for Winston Justice.

1 2 3 4 F

Eagles 0 0 0 3 3

Giants 0 7 9 0 16
